add a democrat member of congress from Texas who has opposed Bidens crazy boarder policy.

dude had his home raided by the DOJ/FBI based on an "ethics complaint".

A progressive washed up actor from Hollywood that is famous role was dumb and dumber playing a conservative reading a script made by another progressive lecturing the audience about the right violating people's rights. Liberals crack me up.

Those of you still in the middle you need to get this.

The party that is trying to force you to take shots against your will, demand you carry "proof", that have demanded you follow their "approved" behavior. The party that demands states bow to the federal government, the party that issues edicts when they cannot pass a law thru congress, is telling you to believe that the other guy is the fascist.


get that.

"the other guy".

Looks to me like many red states tell the Federal government to KMA on the courthouse steps. Those red states control education in their states, Don't like the DOE? Stop taking their money as do as you please. Park cities ISD in Dallas did that for years.

Trump, MTG, House Freedom Caucus are real conservatives. They look like right wing extremists to you because you are going over the cliff with the Squad, Marxists in Democrat clothing. Even moderate Dems who haven't lost their minds look right wing to you guys.

The only authoritarians in sight are the current Potato regime in the White House, with Polluted Pelosi as SS leader.

If you want to drive your car on a public road, you must pass a government test. You must also carry "proof" of that license upon demand. It's not unreasonable to have TEMPORARY requirements during a legitimate national medical emergency that's on track to kill 1 million Americans. And, let me guess, you want voters to show "proof" of identity on demand, hmmm?


All forms of civilization have rules the citizens must adhere to, or society falls apart. The anti-vaccine anti-mask Karens need to grow up.

The last truly conservative, small government Republican to hold federal office in the United States was Calvin Coolidge.

And I base that on how the Republican party themselves define small government conservatism. Coolidge is the last person who actually governed according to the small government conservative narrative and platform....100 years ago.

I agree.

They follow personalities now, no platform. It is doubtful they will even hold primaries for the next presidential campaign.

They are intolerant, and threaten their own people when they don't appear to fall in line. Republican officeholders everywhere are getting repeated death threats.

Oh, and they are looking forward to starting a civil war and shooting Democrats. Interestingly, the Democrats never talk in such terms, it is always the American Taliban Party aka Republicans. Just look at the threads and polls on this site, when the subject is a "coming civil war" it is always a RWNJ who will start the discussion, post the poll or otherwise take the concept seriously.

We even see the old establishment ass-hats like Gingrich threatening to jail congresspersons for investigating the attack on the capitol. By nature they are hateful, bitter and intolerant.

No one should want to be identified with them, but privately many are.

Republicans of that era would never have allowed the military to balloon into the obscene size it is today. That is a fundamental betrayal of small government conservatism.
