  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Yeah, and all those subtle tactical retreats in the name of victory has really stopped the advance of the all encompassing leftist central govt.

It's time to admit that the old way of doing things has been a terrible failure and a new approach is needed. I advocate a direct frontal assault on the evil of leftism.
Tactical retreats are only part of a strategy. See: https://www.battlefields.org/learn/revolutionary-war/battles/cowpens
Unfortunately, the forces which were supposed to reform on the flanks and engage the opposition ran off to cocktail parties on K street.

There are plenty of enemies of Conservatism in the ranks of the GOP, enough that the opposition need only wave whatever 'compromising' material they have, and they cave. Lots of talking the talk, but come crunch time, no boots on the ground, they aren't walking the walk.

This is what you get with voting for the lesser evil.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) called on the next president to declare a national emergency on climate change “on day 1” after President Trump made the same declaration to appropriate funds for a border wall.

“Our next President should declare a #NationalEmergency on day 1 to address the existential threat to all life on the planet posed by Climate Change,” Omar, an outspoken critic of Trump, tweeted Friday.

Good, bring it on.

Go to court and air this hoax out. Weed out the hype and bad science.
The left will have to prove:

1. That the temperature that we are at right now is the optimal temperature
2. That the source of warming is not the sun
3. That money can actually change anything in the climate, rather than allow for greater government control
4. That the US money spent on US interests will significantly world temperatures

They won’t have to prove any of that.

Why wait until another election.

Trump will win it anyway.  After 2 more
add 4 more years.

Trump can declare a national emergency on
climate change as direct theft from the nation.

Do it now. Why wait.
