Republican Leaders Really Are Oblivious to the Obvious!

By Rich Kozlovich 

 

Some time back I published a piece I entitled, War's Not the Answer! Well Then, What's the Question? saying:  

At my age I've heard all the smarmy spin by the left there is, and I can still remember when the meme was, "War's not the answer." And of course they're right. That is of course if the issue involves who should put the top in the tooth paste tube. Or, who should cut the grass. Or, ..... well....you get the idea. 

But what if someone - let's call them barbarians - wants to have a war with you?  A real war?  The fact of the matter is war can be avoided on each and ever occasion it's presented.

Just surrender!

Does anyone besides me think that's just a little .... well.... stupid?  How about insane?  So that brings us to what is the question!  Here's the question being asked by the barbarians.

How can we destroy the American identity, the American culture, the American economy, overturn the Constitution and impose as socialist system to rule America controlling everyone's life, steal from the productive and reward the lazy and corrupt?

Apparently, for barbarians, war is the answer, and when there's a war between the barbarians and the wimps, the barbarians will win every time. 

Definition leads to clarity.  Clarity leads to understanding.   This post links a series of articles defining just how insidious this surrender mentality is within the invertebrate Republican leadership.  Invertebrate leadership Mitch McConnell exemplifies.

In the GOP Version of the Alamo, Nobody Dies Fighting By Charlie Eastman  December 25, 2020 

 

Weak-kneed Republicans who choose to wave the white flag instead of fighting to the last man to challenge the fraud that occurred in the 2020 election are committing political suicide. But they won’t.

 

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took to the floor of the United States Senate last week to officially recognize Joe Biden as president-elect. McConnell was sending a message to his Republican colleagues: stand down, it is time to move on. 

As I watched McConnell congratulate Biden on his supposed victory, I thought of the scene in “Star Wars” when Obi-Wan Kenobi says, “I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror . . . ” Having witnessed firsthand the passion on display at President Trump’s rallies and boat parades, I knew how McConnell’s concession would antagonize Trump supporters. My notion was confirmed the following day, when multiple strangers aired their grievances to me on the streets of the Sunshine State.  

The first was a marble fabricator from Port St. Lucie, who told me he fled socialism abroad only to watch in horror as American Democrats embraced it. Next was a CVS cashier in Jupiter, followed by a fishmonger in North Palm Beach, a restaurant manager from Hobe Sound, a waitress in Ponte Vedra, and finally a gift shop owner and a hotel bellman in Jacksonville Beach.  ..........To Read More...

 

The Left’s War on America Is Just Getting Started By Matthew Boose  December 21, 2020

 

Trump supporters hear Biden’s platitudes, see his phony, cadaverous smile, and expect nothing but unremitting hostility. And they are right.   Joe Biden and his allies have condemned Donald Trump’s refusal to concede the election as an attack on democracy, the latest, most extreme violation of our most sacred “norms” by a tyrant and a party of traitors in his thrall.

The Supreme Court, lapsing momentarily out of a state of “illegitimacy” to which it had been corrupted by the appointment of a single conservative justice, made clear how low the Republican Party had sunk when it refused Trump’s Texas lawsuit. It’s clear then: Biden won,  and it’s time for the Trumpers to accept reality.

But all is not lost. In pious speech after pious speech, Biden is making his commitment to “healing” the country very clear. The vanquished will be treated with mercy, not hostility. There is still room in this country for all of us, liberal and conservative, Republican and Democrat, white and black...........The idea that runs through the Left’s behavior the last four years is simply this: Trump and his supporters are like a disease. They’re illegitimate, immoral, criminal, insane, racists who have no place in America. The Left doesn’t even conceal feeling this way anymore.......What did Trump and his supporters do that was so  evil?.....To Read More...

Hey, GOP: This is Your Do or Die Moment By Brian C. Joondeph  December 31, 2020

Life seldom offers second chances. When opportunity knocks you can either answer the door or sit idly by as opportunity moves on to the next house, never to return. Opportunity is knocking on the doors of elected Republicans today. Will the door be answered? Do Republicans hear the knocking, or are their fingers in their ears, trying hard to not hear anything, reminiscent of Sergeant Schultz of Hogan’s Heroes?

President Trump is the door knocker. He started knocking in June 2015 when he rode down the Trump Tower escalator promising to Make America Great Again. Some in the GOP answered his call and stood firm to support Trump’s agenda and defend him against the Spygate coup. Others like Paul Ryan, Mitt Romney, John McCain, Jeff Flake, and others went out of their way to throw roadblocks in Trump’s path, and those still on the political scene continue nagging Trump to this day.

Republicans are oblivious to the obvious, that this is their last stand. It's do or die, sink or swim. The opportunity with orange hair and a Queen’s accent won’t be coming around again. In 2016, he easily dispatched the cream of the Republican crop, a gang of 16, all of whom would have lost badly to Hillary Clinton without him. Are there any heirs apparent? I don’t see any. It’s Trump or a long walk in the wilderness for the GOP.........To Read More....

Why the Defeatism?  By J. Robert Smith December 31, 2020

Millions of patriots have fight in them as the country confronts the greatest threat to the Republic since the Civil War.  Historic elections fraud, centered on the presidential contests, involving gross criminality make it so. 

Whereas many patriots are ready to fight to restore the rule of law and our liberties, others express gloom and defeat.  The fix is in, they claim.  Should Trump retain the White House, perhaps there’s a chance to stave off scheming globalists, ruthless leftists, and jaded establishment factions, though that comes with a steep price: national convulsions.  If Trump doesn’t secure a second term, then all is lost, they bemoan.  The powerful cabal that Biden fronts will run the board over 48 months.  A long, dark night will descend on America.   

Here’s a modest proposal: Wars aren’t over until they’re fought.  Assuredly, victories aren’t givens, but, most often, neither are defeats.  And it isn’t unheard of that the victors are underdogs.  So, if you consider Patriot America – better than half by my reckoning -- the underdog in this fight, don’t give up -- or as Sam Adams once enjoined, “Nil Desperandum.”

The Left Takes On God's Country  By David Prentice  December 31, 2020 

The Declaration of Independence conceived a nation.   Yes, it took the revolutionary war, a constitution, and a Bill of Rights to give us the birth of these United States.  A country that would shortly become the light of liberty, the great hope of the nations.  A country that has grown to be the most powerful country ever.   In economic power, in military might, in virtually every way, America has established its ability to call out the better angels of humanity. 

We stand at a time when the premise of our country’s greatness is being challenged.  Not with facts, history, or intelligent debate.  Because those would show the uncomfortable truth to those doing the challenging:  that we have been, and are, the greatest nation in the world.  We have God-given rights and freedoms bestowed upon our citizens in ways that had never occurred before.   We have achieved much.   Yes, we have flaws.   We’re human, but we’re better than anyplace else............. half the country or more knows the election was stolen.  And they know who did the stealing.  ............To Read More....

If enough senators challenge the election results, Trump wins  By Andrea Widburg  December 31, 2020

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) officially stated that he will object to the Electoral College vote count to be held in the Senate on January 6.  May this courageous man be the first of many senators to take a stand against the overwhelming evidence of election fraud.  If neither candidate wins enough Electoral College votes on January 6, Trump should win — and it's all in the Constitution without the need for any strained statutory interpretations.

Let me start with an overview of what happens on January 6.  It's crucial to appreciate how this can end if Hawley is joined by several senators who refuse to certify Electoral College votes achieved through manifest fraud.  I've culled this information from Petr Svab's excellent article at The Epoch Times (hat tip to Dan Bongino):.........To Read More....

Will Republicans Kill Democracy? By Daniel Gelernter December 20, 2020

 Whether it takes a year or 10 years or 100 years for the wheel of history to turn, the Republicans who chose “stability” over democracy will not be remembered kindly, if they are remembered at all.

Republicans are in the process of betraying the United States. Republicans who urge their colleagues not to object when counting the electoral votes, who parrot Joe Biden’s calls for unity, who urge the nation to accept and to move on: these Republicans have decided that nothing is worse than a constitutional crisis. Nothing is worse than turmoil—not even the end of freedom. They are choosing to support an unelected government rather than risk the chaos of leftists rioting in the streets. 

Perhaps, above all, they are choosing a world in which they can continue to rub shoulders at fancy social events in Washington, D.C.. Whether or not the people actually voted to send them there is unimportant. What is important is that they are important. ......To Read More....

Americans need to get their World War II fighting spirit back By Robert Arvay December 31, 2020

In the 1930s, when Japanese military forces attacked China with bullets and bombs, the local populace, for the most part, ran or hid in terror.  Theirs was a nation of warlords, not really a nation in the sense that we understand it.  There was not the kind of patriotic fervor that would motivate the average man to lay down his life for his country.  Let the next guy do it.

In the 1940s, when German Stukas dropped bombs on civilians in Belgium, the locals fled in terror, jamming the roads, along which their British rescuers were attempting to rescue them.  This (as it happens) was the purpose of the bombing.

Contrast all this to the bombing of Pearl Harbor.  In spite of it being a place of which many Americans had never heard, when they were told that hundreds of Americans had been killed, the national outrage filled the recruiting offices of all the military forces within hours..........To Read More.....
