When I’m sometimes foolish enough to state a political view while out in public -- you can’t be held in jail without bail for talking about January 6, can you? -- the person I’m speaking with typically responds, “Oh, so you must be a Republican!”
And I laugh heartily, and shake my head no.
The Democrats may very well want to off unborn babies; encourage adolescents to lop off their breasts or penises; counsel African-Americans to expect financial reparations from Whitey as penitence for past offenses; allow any Tom, Dick or Juan to waltz into this country unvetted, possibly unemployable, and potentially criminal; convince anxious middle schoolers that the Earth is doomed; and staunchly support all the vile college brats and anti-Semitic educators advocating for the extermination of Israel, I say.
But at least they have the courage of their conviction.
The GOP, or “Gutless Old Party,” as I call them, is the biggest bunch of overpaid, overstuffed wussies since Ghostbusters: Answer the Call.
They promise to fight the people trying to burn our country down to the ground, and then go paws up the next time the corrupt, lawless FBI asks for permission to continue spying on Donald Trump and his supporters without a warrant.
They run for office on reducing government spending, and then agree with every absurd, wasteful, and unaffordable -- considering we’re the most indebted country in world history by a considerable margin -- Democrat-sponsored giveaway.

Think of Republicans as beta-Democrats in sheep’s clothing.
Democrats will fight, riot, lie, cheat, steal, and collude to win. They’ll sic the feds on Americans with the wrong thoughts, the IRS on folks of the wrong political party, provide the media with the official government-approved message, and make it ridiculously easy to cheat electorally while importing millions of new voters from abroad.

GOP politicians, on the other hand, harrumph loudly, demand investigations, send subpoenas that are promptly ignored, and send sternly, I tell you, sternly worded letters.
What a bunch of poseurs and clowns.

I can see why weak-minded people flock to the Democrat party. They’re the strong horse. The GOP, although I agree with most of their professed views, exudes weakness.

Let’s take a trip down Gutless Old Party Lane, shall we?
Recall the photo of a smiling George W. Bush in 2017 -- who actively opposed candidate, president (R), and citizen Donald J. Trump -- laughing it up with his good buddies Slick Willie and Barry O. at the President’s Cup. Yes, that’s “Dubya” who, when he wasn’t mangling the English tongue or starting two deadly, costly, and ultimately fruitless wars, was more than happy when the time came to drop his conservative beliefs and mosey on over to the other side.
And how ‘bout Sen. John McCain? McCain ran for office on the Republican platform of abolishing Obamacare. Still, despite being terminal with a brain tumor, McCain revealed himself to be just another slithery operator, as he single-handedly saved Obamacare and gave President Trump and every single Republican voter one final middle finger.

Speaking of spineless, failed GOP candidates for president, how ‘bout M. Pierre Delecto?
Can you imagine a Democrat senator voting to impeach a Democrat president under any circumstance? No?
Me neither.
But Ol’ Mittens, who was perhaps the progenitor of Obamacare in his time in Massachusetts, was more than happy to throw the president of his own party under the bus, further buttressing Democrat claims that Romney purposely left his dog on top of his car during a road trip. Whether he’s abusing dogs or Republican presidents, M. Delecto clearly can’t be trusted.
And who was a bigger turncoat than Obama-supporting Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (D-FOX)? That’s right, Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy.
McCarthy gave in to the opposition at every opportunity, he put the “less” into spineless, he would have easily been the most supine Republican House Speaker of all time until his removal gave us ... Mike Johnson.
Let’s face it, when your GOP street-fightin’, lib-slaying, ‘Merica-saving hero looks suspiciously like Chris Hayes, you’ve got a problem.
Little Mikey wasted no time giving in to aid for the unwinnable war in Ukraine, comfort to the plotters in the FBI, and absolutely no protection for our Southern border as promised. How would a Democrat Speaker of the House be any different?
And who can forget the pathetic efforts, travails, and absurd recusal of President Trump’s first attorney general, Jeff Sessions?
No one? Anyone?
Bueller?

Seriously, could you be a bigger wimp? Of course, the answer to that is yes!
Attorney General Bill Barr (R-Dunkin’s) was a much bigger wimp. Like his waistline, his promises were big -- he vowed to get to the bottom of the Clinton/DNC/FBI Russia collusion Scam -- but his results were, sadly, small.
He and his pal John Durham, the guy with the bad goatee, did a wonderful job covering up an orchestrated coup against a sitting president. No one was charged, no one was punished, no one lost their pension, and Barr’s Democrat masters no doubt heartily approved.
But, could there be an even more ginormous GOP fraud than Bill Barr? (Hint: Yet another pathetic Republican presidential candidate.)
Mais oui! Chris Christie, waddle on down!
When not skating on charges of purposely tying up traffic on the George Washington Bridge to settle political scores -- a capital offense in this former New Yorker’s mind -- or single-handedly filling up a Jersey shore beach during the COVID lockdowns that mere commoners were forbidden to attend, Christie misses no opportunity to diss the most conservative, pro-life president and candidate in my lifetime. Recall the photo of Christy Kreme hugging Barry O. and tell me Christy’s not the biggest RHINO, er . . . RINO, of them all.
No, the GOP is truly gutless. They help to expel a sketchy Republican House member, George Santos, while Democrat Bob Menendez continues to flourish, and numerous Democrat reps call for the total annihilation of Israel.
They investigate the corrupt, dried-up vegetable in the Oval Office and his conniving crackhead son, and somehow come up with absolutely nothing, knowing the despicable, lying mainstream media will totally obscure their fey pronouncements.
They send articles of impeachment to the Senate for the despicable Secretary of Homeland Security, Alejandro Mayorkas, and Chuck Schumer simply tables them and laughs.
In response, the Republican senators, including Monsieur Delecto, do absolutely squat -- pardonnez ma Francais!
Frankly, the Gutless Old Party, the Democrat’s pretend opposition, seems to turn tail at every opportunity, they’re the Sir Robin of American politics. At present, they run away, away at every confrontation.
They allow their nominally Republican presidential candidate to be law-fared to death. And then look the other way while the media, academia, FBI, CIA, and DOJ all do their thing to take former president Trump down.
They allow the January 6 rioters to rot in jail while the mostly-peaceful BLM rioters look forward to further opportunities to break the law with impunity.
They support and fund the Deep State that would gladly jail President Trump, you, or me -- if only I could write clearly and powerfully enough.
They support budgets spending money we don’t have, on foreign wars we don’t need, and on pork that the GOP pretends they’re against.
They allow our Southern border to remain open; Jews, Christians, and white males to be openly discriminated against; MAGA supporters to be demonized for caring about our formerly great country; and mentally ill boys to beat up on girls in athletic competitions.
They pretend to represent us while becoming fabulously wealthy on dentist salaries.
The Gutless Old Party, huh, what is it good for?
In my mind, absolutely nothing.

I vote American, not demokrat.

sad but true as far as i can tell. there are a few that seem to be trying....new blood.
from the old guard, i suspect they are all compromised, or know they can be framed by the agencies if they protest too much.

 

[XLR308]

Very well written article, should be forwarded to all Republicant reps everyday of every week of every month of the year.
Not that it would do any good since they would just use it for toilet paper when they run out of the constitution to wipe thier asses with.

 

[Hobo Hilton]

I vote American, not demokrat.

A group is trying to get this on the ballot.

CI-126 is straightforward enough. Everyone votes for all candidates regardless of political party and then the top four candidates then advance to the general.

Who's trying to get your signature on the streets of Missoula?

Signature gathering is continuing in an effort to get two amendments to the Montana constitution up for a vote in November.

I have been expressing this sentiment for a while. If we only had real conservatives, real republicans. I am so tired of Bitch McConnell giving stern looks and promising to hold dems' feet to the flames.

And then turns around gives them exactly everything they wanted with absolutely no exceptions, no "yeah, but" conditions. Nothing. As a republican, McConnell is a pretty effective democrat.

 

[Gunfighter14e2]

They have been the placating party for a long time. Think back to when they held all three branches and still never reversed anything or road blocked for later. They are the complete Rino party now, who like all ticks talk out one side of their mouth & erase it with the other. This country has been fucked for years upon years, yet the single issue voters, think they are the be all.

I understand your frustration. I was in my local feed store early this morning. Cattlemen, farmers, outdoors-men all in on similar conversations. Usually the talk is about calfing season, crop planting, cost of bailed hay or weed control. What was priority to my area 20 years ago has changed. An influx of people of a different culture, different back grounds and different priorities. The "people landscape" is rapidly changing. And these people will vote for politicians will give them what they want.

It has become a numbers game. 51% get what they want and the other 49% get nothing. Getting re-elected is the # 1 goal of the career politicians.

There is no simple or painless solution. Know God, know who your people are. Meet at your Green Dragon Tavern and come up with a plan, and execute it. Delegating our responsibility to corrupt people of any party is a certain loss.
Do not lose.

The beauty of Christianity is that even the worst of the worst have a chance at redemption.

Because outside of that, I do not see how most dems and a lot of repubs can be or even desire to be rehabilitated into being the right kind of person.

The rot is so deep.

As my mother would say, "May God have mercy on your soul because I will not."

I am thankful I am not in that group banking on "redemption" at the last minute. There will be much suffering.
I'm sure I'd get along with your Mom.

That is an inaccurate understanding of redemption. And degenerate.

At least with Democrats, they will stab you in the front and be proud of it. Republicans will stab you in the back while asking for your vote.

I do envy leftists for one thing. They stick together no matter what, right or wrong. When is the last time you saw Dems in Congress betray their voters? Not in decades. They all vote in lockstep for their depraved, misguided, anti-American policies. They never vote against the interests of their voters, never. I had hopes when Mike Johnson was elected House Speaker that things would change. LOL, the joke was on us. Democrats have gotten everything they want and more. Including another $100 billion in foreign aid. Remember how he said no new aid without securing our borders first? Right, how quickly he caved on that. Even though most Republican voters oppose Ukraine aid. It's true, Republicans are lying cowards and in many respects worse then Democrats.

If Trump loses this election it will be because Republicans in Congress let it happen. They have the power to shut down Congress until the lawfare against Trump stops. 90% of Republican voters would support that. If Trump loses this election I'm done voting Republican in national elections. Not wasting my time on a party that doesn't give a shit about its voters. If I bother voting at all, I'll just cast my vote for Libertarians or something.

I rarely participate in political discussion because the corruption involved sickens me, but this is why we need term limits. Without them, politicians will lie to your face to get you to vote for them. EVERYTHING comes down to them being able to remain in the game, where they can be part of the good ol’ boy club and reap all the benefits it provides, basically without any consequences.

WITH term limits, it may help shift the focus towards fixing some things, because when their terms are up, they’re forced to go back to a somewhat regular life. Actually fixing some things so that they’re better off when they get out may become more of a priority.

And if not, hey, at least we only had to deal with the dead asses for so long lol.

So you are saying....
The only hope we have....
Is the people we can't trust....
The people who already aren't representing their voters....
Our hope is that those people, vote to limit their terms of graft and embezzlement from the public coffers.....

That's not the way I received his reply. I think what he meant is that for someone to be redeemed, they must really believe. They can't just be evil and then "profess to accept Christ as their savior" at the last breath. Then, again, neither I or my mother would profess to judge whether the acceptance of Christ as the savior is legitimate. Ergo, "May God have mercy on your soul, I will not."

For example, Pascal's Wager is the surest way to offend God in a way that only C.S. Lewis could emphasize.

Pascal's Wager is that it is better, by chances, to believe in God, even if you don't think there is a God, than to not. If there is not a God, you have not done so bad. If there is, you are covered. Of course, I find this logic horrendous and laughable, at the same time.

I was told of a conversation similar to this, kinda. A non believer in God told a believer in God that he did not believe in God.The first thing the believer said was "I will pray for you," then he said " if your are right, I have lived my life trying to be a better person following the gospel and loving others, I have believed in something larger than myself and my fellow man, which are all good things, if I am right you will have an eternity of sorrow to regret your choice to not believe in God".
