The RINO and the Republic Are at Odds
If republicans are no longer protectors of the republic, does your conservative vote really matter?
Some years ago, I worked with a young woman whose father was elected mayor of a local township. It was actually more of a farming town than anything else, so there were far more conservatives than liberals in the populous. As the discussion progressed, she told me about how her father was elected, saying that he was actually a very liberal person who voted for democrats in state and federal elections….donated to liberals as well but ran as a conservative/republican to become mayor of the town.
For years, the conservative movement has screamed that the democrat party has been taken over by communism. We have all heard the idea that John F Kennedy was the last decent democrat…so decent that he was going to expose the anti-American plot of the deep state to the American people and paid with his life for attempting to do so. He was a small government democrat who believed lower taxes, hard work and freedom were the ideals that made this country great. He believed in every word of the Constitution as well. Kennedy could not survive in the democrat party of today.
All of this is true. Democrats have become so radical that the vast majority of their time is spent trying to deceive all of us, rather than doing anything constructive. As a matter of fact, they are so radical, that they would be disingenuous enough to run candidates as republicans, who would then caucus with their liberal friends. There…I said it. The republican party has been hijacked. Even the term RINO is an understatement as it infers that there still may be an ounce or two of conservativism left in their bloodstream.
As a case in point, it is being reported that Speaker Johnson…the third most powerful person in DC has just surrendered control of the House floor. This unprecedented development is being reported by Breitbart.
History was first made on Thursday, just before midnight, when, for the first time in recorded history — since the House began keeping records — the House Rules Committee relied on minority party votes to overcome objections from the majority and advance a rule bill to the House floor.
The powerful House Rules Committee, known for generations as “the Speaker’s Committee” for the control the speaker of the House possesses over the committee and its reputation as a rubber stamp for the speaker’s agenda, sets the floor agenda for the House through what are known as rules.
Johnson disregarded history and abandoned his own party despite its majority, however slim. With more Democrats voting to advance the House’s agenda than Republicans, the minority party has effectively taken control over the bills that will come before the House.
That’s right folks…Johnson abandoned his own party and with it, the American taxpayer. Why? Because the House bill that is being advanced is a $100 Billion foreign aid package with your tax dollars being sent overseas…AGAIN! Not only that, but 151 “republicans” voted for this garbage too. Do you want to know what isn’t in the bill? Not one nickel to go for border security.
It has become clear that Mike Johnson is playing for the other team, much like Speakers John Boehner, Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy did before him. McCarthy and Johnson both came to the position of House Speaker after the January 6th protests, claiming that they would be releasing ALL Jan 6 video footage of the protests that day. We still have not seen any significant release of that footage.
If you need more proof that the republican party is full of frauds, look at the retirement of Rep. Mike Gallegher from Wisconsin. He announced his retirement earlier this year and claimed he was leaving after April 19th. Had he left before April 9th, it would have required the state of Wisconsin to hold a special election for his replacement. Instead, he decided to stay 2 weeks after the April 9th deadline, thus screwing over his republican colleagues in the house and his WI constituents back home by not giving them a voice in the House until January of next year.
Additionally, Gallagher has an option to stay until Saturday, April 20th so he can vote yea on the $100 Billion, taxpayer funded foreign aid package that Mike Johnson just handed to the democrats on a silver platter. In addition to Gallagher and Johnson, there were a total of 151 “republicans” who voted for the rule to allow democrats to advance the bill.
There are others in the republican party who are guilty as well. Rep. Ken Buck of CO has pushed illegal immigration in his district, to the point where Denver is out of room. Now he is retiring. GA Secretary of State Brian Raffensberger spent the last 4 years trying to cover up the criminal activity during the 2020 election in Fulton Country GA. He also took a taxpayer funded trip to the WEF conference in Davos back in 2023 to rub elbows with all the liberals who are working to rule the world. Robin Vos, republican Speaker of the House in WI, appears to have been an active participant in the fraudulent 2020 election. Since the election was over, he has attempted to stop any type of meaningful investigations into election fraud.
I could keep going like this forever and a day, but you get the picture. Democrats have become more radical, more anti-American and also more devious. Devious enough to take over both parties by running leftists as republicans. Everyone says, that to save the country you have to vote republican down the ballot. And although this used to be the case, the new “republicans” who get voted into office are just as bad as their liberal colleagues, thus making your vote irrelevant as hell.
