Col: The reason we’re pinned down General is we can’t get any air support!
General Patton: The hell with that Nobody’s getting any air support! If you can’t put some fire in this battalion Col I’ll get someone who can! [Turns to another officer] Major, you the executive officer here?
Maj Walker: Yes Sir:
General Patton: What’s you’re name?
Maj Walker: Walker Sir
General Patton: Well you’re now the commanding officer. You’ve got four hours to break through to that beachhead down there if you don’t make it by then I’ll fire YOU
Patton 1970
One of the reasons why I’m constantly recommending people like Don Surber is that he constantly puts things exactly the right way.
He achieved that today in his post SJW’s on the run with these two paragraphs:
A few people began praying. The anniversary of the decision became a focal point of the prayers. Republicans began mouthing the words of the pro-life movement. For more than 40 years, Republicans strung the electorate along. Then Donald Trump — the flawed vessel of conservatism — came along and appointed three actually pro-life justices.
Last June, Roe v. Wade was swept abortion rights into the dustbin of history, right alongside Dred Scott (black men have no rights) and separate but equal. The reversal of Roe may have cost Republicans the midterm election but so what? What good is power if it is not used for good? It’s not as if Charlie McCarthy and Go Along With Mitch are doing anything. Dude, where’s my J6 footage?
emphasis mine
When the GOP says we should not fight the culture war, when even Donald Trump, who delivered on Roe when nobody else did suggests the abortion issue might be a loser my mind goes back to the 4-3 ruling that legalized gay marriage in Massachusetts that put us where we are today.
Under Massachusetts law it only took 25% of the legislature to get something like this on the ballot for the people to vote and it was something we were well on our way to getting.
But Mitt Romney was our governor and Mitt Romney wanted to be President and Mitt Romney, for all his Mormon faith didn’t want to upset the alphabet people to do anything that might hinder those national ambitions so he did nothing and the measure never made it to the ballot at a time when it would have been soundly defeated. Massachusetts was a stepping stone to him and he didn’t want any waves when he was crossing.
Mitt had the power but the end of his power was more power, and whenever I see all the evil and destruction LGBTQ+ has done to our society in one generation I never forget that it was Mitt Romney who made these things possible.
If you make the goal of electing republicans seeing a person with an (R) next to their name in office and make it clear to candidates that this is your goal that’s the only goal you will achieve.
But if you make the purpose of electing republicans achieving conservative ends and advance the conservative agenda and make it clear to candidates that if they don’t achieve that goal you’ll fire them, they’ll work to achieve those ends, even if they hate your guts. As Orwell put it
Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.
George Orwell 1984
If you make the squishes know you’re their only path to power, they’ll kiss your hand every time.
