I spoke with a friend about 3 weeks ago and as usual it went to politics and the GOP. She said she was still a \u201cproud Republican\u201d.. I told her I had left the GOP. She then asked me what I was. I answered: a \u2018Proud American.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Suffice to say, that\nfriendship is not on the best footing right now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And therein lies the\nproblem\u2026 We now identify ourselves as a \u2018party\u2019 member and we\nignore the larger picture.. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re Americans\nfirst..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donald Trump pointed that out so clearly. And that is one of the reasons the Uni-Party in DC hates him.. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nYes, the Uni-Party. Let\u2019s face it, the GOP has had its day. The\nfinal straw for me was on January 6, when Pence refused to hear the\nevidence regarding the votes of the Electoral College. At that\nmoment, the veil had been fully lifted and exposed the GOP, not as a\npolitical party, but as one half of the Uni-Party. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donald Trump is\nresponsible for exposing this. The GOP died long ago. We\u2019re dealing\nwith the ghost who won\u2019t go over to the other side. Dems and\nRepublicans are part and parcel of the same group, which wants\nunfettered access to stock tips, lobbyist money, power, great health\ncare , while the rest of Americans are wondering what part of their\nlife is going to take a hit next..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t speak as a\nlone voice. I\u2019m quite active on social media, and people from all\nover America, of every race, religious background, are fed up with\nthe GOP. The Republicans betrayed 75 million Americans who voted for\nTrump. From the beginning of Trump\u2019s run for the White House, they\ndid everything they could to disparage him, his campaign and his\nagenda. They worked hand in hand with the Democrats. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAnd when the\nAmerican people threw a monkey wrench into their plans by electing\nTrump, many of them blocked his efforts, using impeachment as an\nexcuse, or the Constitution as a weapon against him. This country is\nbeing run by one party. There is no difference between the two, save\nfor names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Donald Trump\ncommitted the unpardonable sin by exposing the duplicitous nature of\nthe Deep State. Like a slap in the face, Americans realized we had\nbeen taken for a ride for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His accomplishments\nduring his 4 years were many. In my book the most important was his\nability to bring people of all races, religions, and socioeconomic\nbackgrounds together under the banner our founders\u2019 intended: as\nAmericans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The utter contempt that GOP committees, even in my home state of New Hampshire have for Donald Trump is troubling. I understand many of them are \u2018moving on\u2019 and focusing on the 2022 elections. Here in New Hampshire, the recent pathetic State Committee meeting and its treatment of its own people shows the swamp has made it way up here. No outrage from the State GOP on the votes in Windham and certainly no curiosity on whether it happened anywhere else in the state. \u201cLet\u2019s move on\u2026 Nothing to see here\u201d is their mantra. They still have no clue what Donald Trump did for America\u2026. Not the GOP; AMERICA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The GOP stands for\nitself. Not for America. As the Democratic Party has embraced more of\nthe Communist dogma and values, one would have expected the GOP to\nact as a bulwark against those actions; to protect us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That would be true,\nif they were in fact, working for America and American interests. But\nthey\u2019re not. Their agenda has nothing to do with America, the\nConstitution or its values. It\u2019s their power, what they can garner\nfrom their time in Congress or local politics, and how to pad their\npockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time for the\nGOP to die. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What this country\nneeds is another political party. No, not a third party, since I\npointed out earlier the one party existence, but one which should\ntake the place of the GOP. Those who are RINOs should be Dems anyway\nand Conservatives are leaving in droves. Left are those who view\ntheir time in their local committees as a \u2018social\u2019 club. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019d be surprised\nhow many in local GOP committees have no idea who the players are in\nthis country, the issues, both domestic and international which may\nhave an effect on this country. I have had a discussion with one\nCommittee Chair who keeps insisting Trump used the word \u201cI\u201d many\ntimes to describe the accomplishments of his administration. Of\ncourse nothing could be further from the truth..<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIf they are a\nleaders of a political committee, shouldn\u2019t they be knowledgeable\nof such things? One would think so, but not in this case. I have no\nproblem saying they\u2019re rank amateurs. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I hear the cries of anguish: Another Political Party!? What\u2019s to say it won\u2019t turn out the way the GOP did?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Good question. First, our Constitution should be the basis for the Party and the platform that Trump ran on. Trump\u2019s efforts in bringing together the American people was unprecedented. Even Ronald Reagan was not able to accomplish that. This should be a blueprint for the new party. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another option I\nhave heard: Take over the GOP. No. Not possible. It\u2019s too embedded\nin the Deep State. There have been many attempts. I remember when the\nConservatives became very vocal and active during the Reagan\nadministration. They were tamped down after G H W Bush came into\noffice and for decades after. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tea Party was a\nvaliant effort, but it was quickly infiltrated by RINOs who ran under\nthe Tea Party banner and then, once elected, went into the Deep\nState. The Tea Party was used by politicians as a platform for their\naccess to Congress. After they were elected , they turned their backs\non their constituents.. Here in New Hampshire, the name Kelly Ayotte\ncomes to mind, who ran as a strong Tea Party supporter, then once in\nCongress, went into John McCain\u2019s lapel as an ornament. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m tired of people such as Mitt Romney, Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham, Collins, Murkowski and numerous others who have the audacity to lecture us as if we are the ignorant, unwashed and illiterate .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They are just politicians.. Not statesmen, not leaders. They are there to get what they can in money and influence from the American coffers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Politicians.\u2019: it\u2019s time we made that word a slur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s time for the\nGOP to go into the history books as having outlived its usefulness.\nStop trying to drag that dead elephant over the finish line. There is\nno longer a Republican Party. It died long ago. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, are you a\nRepublican or an American?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The choice is yours\u2026\nAfter all, this is America. But for how long\u2026\u2026?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
