‘Duck Hunt: Grassroots Fought and Won While Establishment Stayed on Sidelines
Palin, Jindal, and Cruz’s support was in contrast to the silence of the Republican establishment, its leadership, and the Republican National Committee. The latter focused instead on Kwanzaa and promoting amnesty, which the Congressional Budget Office determined would lower the wages of working class Americans, many of whom make up the bulk of the Duck Dynasty audience..’
America is not going to be fixed by voting for these scumbags. ‘Primary The Bastards’ would make a good bumper sticker–and tactic.
Thanks for the link KG. I knew Palin, Jidal, and Cruz had stepped up to defend Phil but had missed the lack of visibility of the Republican establishment and leadership (I use the term only in its political sense).
Their lack of courage to stand for the Constitution should preclude them from holding public office ever. What the hell is wrong with the USA?
“What the hell is wrong with the USA?”
The same things that are wrong all across the West, Michael.
I think things are changing in the West World as the winds of patriotism and love of country are blowing strong across the planet.
I have only started watching Duck Dynasty since the “big controversy” erupted. I only needed to see a few episodes to figure out why controversy has been thrust upon Phil Robertson. It’s a show about people who believe in God and family. A show that ends each episode with the entire family sitting down to supper with Phil saying grace. That was all it took to hook me in to becoming a regular viewer.
Of course, God and family are the very reasons why the leftist weenies are working so hard to turn Phil’s words from “one man’s opinion” to an all out hate attack on gays and blacks. God and family are two of the more important values from which America was founded. And, in my opinion, the constant attacks against God and family are what the leftists are using to help implode America from within.
So, in response to Michael’s question, “What the hell is wrong with the USA?” the answer is fairly simple. Americans need to unashamedly return to and rigidly embrace the core values of God, family and patriotism and, demand the same from those we elect to manage the workings of our country. That would certainly be a welcomed change from the gutless, tax feeding hacks that strive to stay “out of sight and out of mind,” so as not to offend anyone, in order to secure re-election.
Kwanzza!!!

Just read this on Trevor Loudon’s site and, oh Dear Lord please let it be right!
“…the DNC sent out a panicky, beseeching email blegging for money because the big, bad Republicans are going to impeach Dear Leader”
I disagree with Teresa Monroe-Hamilton that President Temper-Tantrum or anybody in his Administration is guilty of treason (the charge of treason specifically refers to aiding nations to overthrow or make war against the US, and I don’t think they’ve done that – the moslem brotherhood is not a nation, and helping Iran to destroy Israel isn’t covered), but given the list they’ve come up with (by no means exhaustive, I’m sure), there are definitely grounds for impeachment – plenty of High Crimes and Misdemeanours!
However…in order for patriot Republican representatives to succeed, they will have to get rid of the current leadership, who have spent more time attacking their patriot “colleagues” and cleaning The Won’s chocolate starfish with their tongues than they have defending the Constitution they swore to uphold. I still like the idea of Governor Palin for Speaker (the Speaker doesn’t have to be drawn from the members of the House). Boner and McConnell MUST GO before any impeachment proceedings will succeed, mark my words.
I can’t help it if you’re ignorant of the constitution. Art III Sec 3 says:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
There can be no argument that Osama bin Kenya has at least “adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.” The Iran surrender is enough there. The constitution demands the Life of the Person so attained of Treason as the only sufficient punishment.
Except of course America is not at war and, although having described them as members of an “axis of evil” and levied sanctions, etc. no nation is formally an “enemy”.
It isn’t the Constitution, it’s a basic understanding of the English language.
Don’t be a condescending prick to me, Sinner.
There has been no declaration of war, Sinner. Do try to engage brain before approaching keyboard.
And if you post here again using a different nom de plume in an attempt to hide your identity, you will be enjoying the graffiti on the walls of the spam bin in future.
We have honest commenters here.
Got it?
Sinner is gone. At least that version is.
Disagreement is fine, provided a person stays to argue the point. What’s not acceptable is using different nicks and indulging in drive-by sniping.
There is not a snowball in hell’s chance of Republicans impeaching Obama.Why would they impeach the person who is carrying out an agenda they agree with? “Immigration reform” is a top priority of of Republican backers i.e. big business.
This is merely a ploy to prise more money out of the faithful braindead.
Of course. There are far too many RINOs protecting him. But it USA delicious thought, non?
Sigh…we can dream, I guess.
And this is probably why many won’t vote for these sniveling cretins either. All they get is lip service until they need one of these curs to stand up and be counted. The culture wars are being lost because the leadership doesn’t even turn up to fight.
This is why i think in the long run the truly conservative in America are going to have to split away from the lefties and their faithful puppies in hiding. Refusing to vote for republicans and waiting for a real one to turn up isn’t going to be enough.
In the mean time the left pushes on consuming all in its path.
Your take is right on !! and is the reason why I call myself a “Recovering Republican”!
Having volunteered many hours and given $$$ and then to have had – not one- but two stalwart men betrayed by the GOP- NRSC (Danneymeyer -we have Di Feinstein becasue of that betrayal by the elite Rssssss) and Joe Miller–betrayed as well- we have little RINO lisa murkowski (Alaska) who votes w/ the dems and the mc cains ..
A CONSTITUTION Party is in order!!

Recovering Republican
Third parties don’t work as a rule. To me the establishment Republicans are a
gutless centrist bunch, e.g. Romney, who refused to introduce the subject of
Benghazi during last years Presidential debates. The trouble with Palin for all
her strengths, is that she would not appeal to the mainstream or independents,
as she has been so badly tarnished by the lame stream media. The future for
the Republicans is the like of Ted Cruz, but he would have to climb a monster
of a mountain to get anywhere.
Good points, Alan. But I think the only future for true conservative Republicans is to get organized and defeat the RINOS at the primaries.
Even if that means short-term losses.
Ignore the independent voters–they’ll climb aboard eventually because they’ll have no other choice.
As for Palin–I don’t believe she’s been “tarnished” as far as true conservatives are concerned.Or even many independents. To push that line is to do her enemies’ work for them. Already the MSM virtually decides who is an “acceptable” Republican candidate.
Women and blacks voted O into office. Women and conservatives and dithering independents could do the same for Palin, especially on a West/Palin ticket.
Chocolate starfish? Thanks, GG. Just as I was about to hoe into my Whittakers.
Why should we stalwart Republicans allow a bunch of RINO traitors to run us out of our party?
This would be like some invited relatives who refuse to leave your home after the vacation is over – and have the gall to say when you show them the door, “We own this house
”
We patriots are the REPUBLICANS – we stand for the God, Constitution and Country
Christie will be the nominee unless he strokes out,the media including Fox are pushing him already so I have no hope for any positive change in 2016.Infact I’ll just go ahead and call the race for Hillary rightnow.If the Republicans run another rat bastard limp wrist moderate they will loose,even to Hillary no matter how damaged she is by Benghazi.
The only way I see out at the ballot box is by taking over more state houses and governorships and then just ignoring the feds.Otherwise the Ammo box will be the only fix.
If it is Hilary, then it will be more hope n change, and presidential pardons all round. And the republic will be history. And the bodies will continue to pile up, but at a much faster pace.
