Mark Levin, who was favorably impressed by Hatch, Priebus and Ryan when he first interviewed them, now calls them all outright liars and frauds.

Are you familiar with ConservativeReview? Scroll down to see the list of those Senators who get a passing score of 70%. There are only about a dozen who do, and half of them just barely.

Believe it or not, Bernie Sanders and Fauxcahontas Warren are the second highest rated Democrats at 15%, most being way under that. But there’s a half dozen Republican(?) Senators not much better. Susan Collins is actually lower than The Bern.

Nearly all the R members are in the RINO party.

NO, the rest are not conservatives.

Lindsay Graham?? Orrin Hatch?? No, no a thousand times no. See this, for example (there are plenty more) and this, for example.

Seems like they have been doing that recently. A quick Google search leads to this story:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/21/politics/ted-cruz-senate-revolt/

which has negative quotes about Cruz from these GOP Senators:
Orrin Hatch
Dan Coats
Shelley Moore Capito
John Cornyn — his criticism was milder than many
Lindsay Graham
John McCain

I’ve never heard of Capito or Coats, but the rest are conservatives, aren’t they?

Or did you mean so-called non-establishment conservatives?

Because he loves the idea of having all that power.

It seems to me that everything he says and does is evidence for that position. He is Obama without an ideology, purely power-mad. Thus extremely frightening. I agree with Neo. An unstable person driven only by a love of power is the worst possible choice. And her hypotheticals are pretty mild in my view. An unprincipled, power-mad hothead could very easily get us all killed. As we used to say in the 70s, one nuclear bomb could ruin your whole day. Not so funny now.

Does it matter… what matters is if Trump delivers on what his supporters claim he will deliver on. People in war want results, not words. Deeds, not words.

Which means dead Leftists or actual victories.

If Trump betrays even his own populist support… I doubt the fate of the rest of America will be very good.

The job of keeping Trump, I don’t have such intense dislike for him as Parker or Neo Neo does, to his promise is up to his supporters. American supporters, not foreigners who have no skin in the game or even expatriates.

The thing I like to tell people, though, is that once they elect a dictator to power, they won’t be given the option of restraining the dictator. Rome had a consul of two years, I believe, but there was always another consul keeping the other one in check. Like a dual monarchy. Americans backing Trump, can prove me wrong. They can prove anyone wrong.

Results is all that is needed in war. If Trump or his faction starts “winning” by shooting patriotic deserts in the back if they retreat… well, that changes things of course. That’s also a “result”.

Robert Heinlein

I used to think he was speaking of economics: the risk-takers, the capitalists, the Jews, the Tamils, or others who similarly raised the greater populations they existed among to better standards of living.

I wonder if he also had in mind how rare the small group of men was who tried to design a system a couple hundred years ago that would protect even its most powerless from the ravages and rapacity of the ruling classes as well as the savage rule of the mob. They almost succeeded, too.

I fear we are about to experience a run of “bad luck”.

Let me be clear: I see Trump as potentially more dangerous than Hillary. I think we know next to nothing about what he would do in the negative sense. We know much more about what she would do.

However, I detest them both, in different ways. As Lindsay Graham said in another context, it’s like deciding whether to be shot or poisoned (he was comparing Trump with Cruz; I of course don’t agree with Graham there).

Also, there have no NO primaries yet. Trump is not the nominee. He is supported by about a third of the GOP. Why should I surrender to the inevitable? He’s not even the favorite of the majority of his own party (his own party at the moment, that is). If most of the others dropped out, I believe you’d see a new frontrunner.

The power of the Leftist alliance goes far beyond most people’s imaginations. They are incapable, by fault of their upbringing, culture, and indoctrination, of seeing the dots or data points, so they cannot connect the dots either.

They are only what the unimpeded, unopposed long march of the Marxists through the institutions has created

In the end, they Will Obey. No matter what they think, no matter whether they like it or not.

Individuals in humanity who have achieved true independence, numbers in the rarest of percentages, just 3% usually over the centuries. 20% may qualify due to intelligence, economy, or inheritance, but just 3% actually achieve it.

Reagan was quite right, freedom was not passed in the American blood. Freedom got sold for some benefits and what has been passed along is decadence and slavery.

Every generation must prove themselves capable of independence, just as each generation needs to learn how to fend for themselves, outside of parental or government support. Heh, it used to be “family” support too. Family friends. Family allies. Friends of the family. Extended family. The whole network of clans linked together. Now it is just your “parents”, which might be just one person, vs the Might of the Government. So unfair a contrast and setup.

An alliance of temporary mutual interest. It falls out for the same reason the Hitler Stalin pact fell out. Some faction thought they were winning, so they went for it all. And the response from Cruz was predictable.

Non aggression until the two think they are ahead of everybody else, then they compete directly with each other.

Same happens with Islam vs the Leftist alliance. Well in Europe, they are still working together for now. Eventually they will have to divide up the spoils, the slave girls and boys that is.

They are only what the unimpeded, unopposed long march of the Marxists through the institutions has created, while they’ve just been trying to live their lives as best they could and raise their kids, who were targeted all along for indoctrination. That’s what happens when a religion of conquest (Marxism) composed of amoral fanatics and zealots is allowed to operate openly in a freedom-loving, liberal society. Now we’re even inviting a second one in (Islam), but even the Marxists will regret that. They are not willing to die for their utopia, but Muslims consider it the highest honor to die for Allah, especially if they can take lots of unbelievers with them.

There is no longer any stopping this short of rivers and oceans of blood and even then I’m not optimistic about the outcome. It’s the only reason I’m happy to be old, because I’ll probably be gone before it starts in earnest. At least I hope so – I never thought I’d live long enough to see a Muslim/Marxist hybrid not only freely elected, but re-elected in this great nation. Never.
