Raison d'etre GOP

 

Why the GOP exists

In his book, The Conscience of a Liberal, Paul Krugman pines for the days when the GOP was like Eisenhower. Eisenhower's Presidency is what the liberals liked, according to Krugman, because he offered no true resistance to them.

Evidently, the modern GOP wants to be like Ike. So they offer no true resistance to the liberals. And the liberals like them for it. But what does the GOP base think about it? Well, that may be a different story, at least according to what you hear.

Yours truly is getting quite skeptical of everything and everybody. If the words don't match the deeds, there's something rotten in Denmark.

Know what I mean, Vern?

Yesterday, on Bongino's show, he begins with a UFO story. You know, I tended to like Bongino, but it's getting harder and harder to listen to his shows anymore. Maybe it is because on the important issues this past year, there wasn't really that much space between him and the liberals he criticizes so frequently and harshly.

The harshness is necessary in order to create the illusion of distance, I am beginning to suspect.

Is that being too hard on Bongino? Maybe. He offered an explanation for the UFOs that seemed a bit of wishful thinking to me. He mentioned Occam's Razor. Well, to me the simplest explanation for the UFO story is that it is a hoax. There's so many these days. Why should this one be any different?

I'm not questioning Bongino's sincerity at this point. But if an entire country could be fooled with this pandemic hoax, including him, then something's badly wrong here.

Bongino DID put a video up about the fake insurrection the Democrats have been selling these past few months. There's a video of the guy in Buffalo horns talking to the police supposedly DURING the "insurrection". It wasn't a violent confrontation. As a matter of fact, the cops were okay with them being there.

Is the video authentic? Was this the same guy the Democrats have been demonizing as an arch traitor these past few months? If that is all true, that they really did have permission, INCLUDING THIS GUY, then what do you do about it GOP????

HMMMMMMMMMMM?

Nothing to see here folks, would be their likely response. If that is their response, then what do WE THE PEOPLE do about it? Keep voting for these frauds?

The GOP must change or die. There is no other way.
