GOP Saps Need to Quit Being Idiots
2020-07-06
Kurt at TownHall
I want to know the name of one single voter who cried out, "Take that, Columbus Day! And now that Fort Benning is known as Fort Diversity Rainbow Unicorn, I shall cast my ballot proudly for the generic GOP stooge who helped make that happen because when my country is burning and I am under attack, I want to be represented by people whose first inclination is to suck up to the Democrats!"

What’s this guy’s name, GOP geniuses? Who is this mystery voter you are courting at the expense of people otherwise inclined to support you? I’d like to meet him, and to sell him a bridge.

Here’s the thing you do when you want to win an election, and I can’t believe I have to tell the GOP’s pols this but apparently I do. You do things the people who might possibly vote for you want done. You don’t sit around in a circle of jerks trying to please the people who hate your guts.

...People keep telling you GOP-types to shape up. Tucker Carlson’s ratings are reaching low earth orbit thanks to his merciless pillorying of you empty suits. Maybe you should listen to the voters instead of the overpaid doofuses you are paying a ton of money to in order to lose your elections for you. It’s not hard to not fail. It’s not hard to help your voters instead of your opponents. The Democrats manage to do it, and they’re a pack of brother-marrying, pinko weirdos who think men get periods and that the Russians are to blame for everything, including their myriad sexual inadequacies.

...You want to be "reasonable" — stop that! Get woke! This is not about reason but about power, and you simps are staggering into the world’s most obvious ambush. ... But even if changing base names did not implicitly and falsely indict my three Fort Benning diplomas (Officer Candidate School, Airborne, and Infantry Advanced Course) as badges of oppression instead of symbols of freedom — as well as those of millions of other veterans — I would still be against changing any base names or holidays now because you never, ever negotiate with a gun to your head.

...Stop doing stupid things, Republicans!

We want you to protect us from the coordinated attack upon us, not tongue-bathe the attackers. Do you need some suggestions on how that involves protecting us instead of kissing liberal Lieu?

  • Strip all federal money from colleges that fail to actively protect free speech.

  • Tax college endowments. Let’s lance the boil that is academia!

  • Target Big Tech targeting of, and discrimination against, free speech. Strip Section 230 protection from any tech company that bans speech otherwise protected by the First Amendment, and pass an "Internet Bill of Rights" that allows consumers to sue tech companies for oppressing them (Want some help drafting it? Have your people call my people).

  • Ban corporate discrimination on the basis of politics so that our ability to function in society is not at the mercy of big corporations that have adopted the ideology of a mid-wit Goucher College collectivist phrenology major.

  • Remove all federal aid from cities that refuse to protect the rights of citizens by allowing Democrat catspaw radicals to run rampant and go unpunished.

  • Make attacks on cops for being cops a federal hate crime.

  • Make it a federal crime to block a federal interstate and to threaten or restrain drivers. Clarify that blocking a vehicle is a threat to the life and safety of the passengers and ensure that accelerating to escape this kind of attack is presumptively legitimate self-defense. And give those inconvenienced the right to sue for damages for being delayed.

  • Pass a "National Self-Defense Against Political Violence Act" to protect our ability to use force to defend ourselves against rioters, thugs, and other Democrats. Soros-bought local DAs released criminals but threaten patriots should we exercise our civil right not to be brutalized. Take that travesty off the table.

#7  All politicians are snake oil sellers. The more fraudulent the product, the more anxious they are to sell it.

#6  They don't call them the party of stupid for nothing.

Stupid? Hardly! The GOP is the Party of We Sold Out for money. And, or, We are so heavily compromised we have to do as we are told.

#5  Politicians in times of stress and conflict will always appease. It will be patriots who will save this country. Problem is that we are a year behind. Antifa and BLM have been busy organizing while Washington DC dithers.

#1  GOP dummies, what the hell is your excuse?

Hiding in the middle of the formation, hoping not to be seen or heard. Most are divorced from their former constituencies. They are beltway eunuchs who are insulated with vast sums of money and intricate E&E (escape and evasion) plans.
