Fighting With a Dull Knife

 Over at the American Thinker Olivia Murray has a post today entitled Apply border security poilicy to GOP too that argues that the Republican big tent policy diffuses conservative messages. Allowing people who are liberal to run for offices means that if they get into office, they will vote for leftist policies with the Democrats. As has often been pointed out, why should voters vote for a pretend Democrat instead of the real thing.

A political party is a machine, and it has one function: to serve as a vehicle to advance a political agenda. We see the Democrats have mastered this approach; they’ll cheat principled leftists like Bernie Sanders, and there’s no room for those who don’t toe the company line (Tulsi Gabbard and Kyrsten Sinema). Democrats in government and their party apparatus are in perfect lockstep towards communism, perversion, and lawlessness.

Yet, the contemporary Republican Party is more than happy to bring everyone under the “Big Tent.” ‘Belief in conservative values not required, we’re happy to have you!’

Gabbard defects, she’s welcomed with open arms, touted as a conservative “icon”. If Bill Maher were next — pro-abortion, Biden-supporting Bill Maher — he too would receive a place at the head table.

Yet, ideological purity isn’t a lot to ask, especially when measured against the standard of the Constitution. After all, it’s the supreme law, our most authoritative governing document. The ideas and limits contained within it aren’t radical in and of themselves, but they’re radical to a bunch of soft “Republicans” who have been capitulating to leftist assaults for decades — the Constitution’s Tenth Amendment makes it clear, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” This reality nullifies the right of nearly 100% of the federal bureaucracy to exist, yet, to many conservatives, abolishing these agencies would be “radical” or “too extreme.” (And that would only be the first step in restoring the Constitution.)

Rather than being an instrument to instill principles of conservatism and Constitutional adherence, the ethos of the modern Republican Party is nothing more than a safe space for Democrats seeking asylum from the hardline Marxists who took over their party, and a cocktail hour for the moderate misfits looking for friends — inevitably, this opens the door for serious subversion and nefarious infiltrators.

Gentle readers may not be from North Carolina, so may not pay much attention to Thom Tillis, but Tillis has always been a RINO even in the state house. About the only thing he does for the Republican party is contribute to the numbers for purposes of extablishing majority control. Other than that, he is useless as a Republican. Witness his latest attempt at an immigration bill with Kyrsten Sinema. Does he really think North Carolina voters want more illegal immigrants?

The Democrats have become a Communist/Fascist party. We need a party to represent people who want to return to the Constitution. Governing according to the Constituion is not right wing, as Conservatives are so often accused of, but should be considered the middle of our political spectrum. As Murray notes, governing according to the Constitution would mean far fewer Federal agencies, but nore state ones. It would mean having each branc staying within its own lane.

The Republican Party is our apparatus, to advance constitutional conservatism, but we’re fighting with a dull knife. We can’t win battles against the Democrat party, because we’re neither grounded in the Constitution nor objective morality. We need to right the ship and correct course.
