THE MORNING RANT: Polite Conservatives, Lauren Boebert, and “How Losing My Political Values Helped Me Gain My Freedom”
There are 221 Republicans in the House of Representatives, and a bell curve of those GOP reps would reveal that most of them are stereotypical political creatures with lengthy political resumes, always striving to convey an air of respectability as they claw their way to higher office and/or more seniority.
But there are always a handful of unpolished representatives at the outer limit of the Republican bell curve. Frankly, they are more likely to authentically represent their districts than the coiffed and polished professionals, and these more exotic representatives are also more likely to maintain an authentically conservative voting record, and to pursue the agenda of the conservative grassroots. So of course, polite conservatives have a need to obsess about these few exotic Republicans - mocking them, denigrating them, focusing on their private lives, and seeking to terminate their political careers. A few weeks ago, one of those unpolished Republicans, Lauren Boebert, was caught canoodling in a darkened theater, and perhaps breaking other rules of decorum. (Coincidentally, there was a camera in this darkened theater pointed right at her, and video of her was leaked to the press, yet we’ll never know who smuggled white powder into the West Wing of the White House, despite that facility being blanketed in cameras.) The left-wing media was predictably appalled and outraged at Boebert, but so was most of right-wing media, whose writers all seemed to need fainting couches and smelling salts to deal with the shocking PG-13 footage they had seen. In fact, it seemed like a contest among conservative pundits over who could show the most indignation and condemnation toward this back-bench representative.
There's a frustrating game that the left plays with conservatives. It's an Alinksy tactic called, "Make them live up to their values." Now, living up to one's values isn't a bad thing, but setting high standards ultimately means that you'll sometimes fall short. The left loves to exploit these shortcomings--every Christian who falls short of perfection is a hypocrite; the social values candidate you voted for just got arrested for drunk driving. Haha, everything you believe and advocate is now discredited. They got away with it for years, waving away the lies, hypocrisy, indiscretions, and criminal behavior from their own politicians while beating the right mercilessly with the missteps of their own. It's effective because the right always maintains a baseline of integrity not displayed by the left, as evidenced by comparing what happens to Republican politicians when they're caught in criminal behavior with what happens to Democrats. Republican voters and politicians reluctantly dump the malefactor while Democrats defend their guy and launch an offensive against those who demand accountability. And then came along Trump, a guy just ripe for demonization by the left. I think it's fair to say that even his early supporters worried that the Democrats would successfully make him toxic to the general voting public with his boorish behavior, vulgarity, multiple bankruptcies and very public divorces. But something strange happened. Not only did Donald Trump not care about attacks on his character, neither did anyone else. We saw this new paradigm assert itself over and over during the primary throughout repeated media predictions that this time he's gone too far and he's cooked. This same indifference that helped Trump carry the election has continued into the early days of his administration. With it comes a refreshingly freeing state of mind. Personally, I don't feel in any way responsible for Trump, nor do I feel compelled to defend him against attack. Why? Because I voted for retribution. "He's thin-skinned and petty!" shrieks the left. "He takes everything personally!" Good, I say. I want him to take attacks personally and deal out payback. I know I won't be the target, you will be. "He's unpresidential! He'll destroy the integrity of the office!" No, that's already happened. Remember, you elected a shit-talking jackass who takes selfies at state funerals when he's not giving stealth middle fingers to his opponents during debates. There is no dignity of the office, not after Clinton and Obama. "He's a narcissist! He's got totalitarian impulses!" Yes, he's basically a mirror version of Obama. Except now, he'll be working for what I want. The end justifies the means. You taught me that. "A sitting president going after the media. OMG!" Oh, like Obama trashing Rush Limbaugh and Fox News? How about when he sent his lackeys to berate news reporters for failure to flatter him at all times. Oh, and NSA spying on the press. That was pretty great, too. "He won't show his taxes!" Don't care. Where are Obama's college transcripts, by the way? "He's a bully! Is this what you want? Someone who uses his power to bully other people?!!!" And this is where everything funnels down to the very nexus of my change in attitude from "Do unto others" to "I will do unto you what you do unto me." It's two words: Memories Pizza. It was that moment that everything changed for me--not only the harassment, fake Yelp reviews and the death threats that forced them to temporarily close up shop--oh, that was bad enough, but the most powerful man on Earth bullying a couple of small town pizza owners from Indiana simply for expressing an opinion on a hypothetical asked of them by a reporter with a malicious agenda? That was when I snapped. Do you remember? It's this that sent me to a place from which I'll never return. I literally don't care what Donald Trump does because nothing he can do is worse than what they've already done. Donald Trump isn't the bully; he only insults and abuses people in power who have attacked him. They're the fucking bullies. The left, with their smears, their witch hunts, their slanders, their insults, their riots, their violence, and their weaponizing of the federal bureaucracy. There aren't any rules anymore because the left only applies them one way. And in doing so, they've left what once was a civil compact between the two parties in smoldering ruins. I have no personal investment in Donald Trump. He is a tool to punish the left and roll back their ill-gotten gains, no more and no less. If he succeeds even partially in those two things, then I'll consider his election a win. Further, I no longer have any investment in any particular political values, save one: The rules created by the left will be applied to the left as equally and punitively as they have applied them to the right. And when they beg for mercy, I'll begin to reconsider. Or maybe not. Because fuck these people. This new philosophy has freed me of more emotional angst that I can describe. Literally nothing the left says or does matters to me anymore. I don't care about their tantrums. I don't care about their accusations. I don't care if they say Trump is lying. I don't care if Trump is lying. They created this Frankenstein. They own it. I am free of all obligation. I will never play defense again. I will attack, attack, attack, attack using their own tactics against them until they learn their lesson. What I will not do is let them play my values against me ever again. I don't need to prove that I'm better than them. I already know it.For what it’s worth, I also barely care about the scandalous behavior of Democrats anymore either. Short of treason or murder, it is a waste of my time to bother getting upset. They’re a protected class, and I’m only showing my ignorance if I expect those on the left to be principled in opposition to Democrats’ misbehavior. But as for any embarrassing actions by those in office who are on my team…I don’t care. [buck.throckmorton at protonmail dot com]

Washington is a cesspool and everyone participates. Those who are *not* involved in "scandalous behavior" are the extreme aberrations.
I think Bobert's behavior was bad, and things one should not do in public. Does it disqualify her? Probably, yeah - from watching your kids. From office? Nah. Not unless you have some expectation that those in office should be responsible, demure, decorous, respectful, honorable people. If that is your expectation, I'd like to know why. It hasn't been true in decades if ever.
Does this make me like Boebert less? Yes, it does. Does it matter? No, it doesn't.

The personal side of things, though, has degraded. It had to. They're all scumbags. Personal integrity isn't a thing in Washington anymore, for anyone. They're all liars, whores and thieves. I've gotten to the point where I just want them to be lying, whoring and stealing in the service of things I'd like to see happen.

As do I, however, there is me not caring and there is the reality on the ground.
Boebert won her seat by the skin of her teeth, her dalliance's with a Gay Bar Owner in a public venue, are to be charitable, not on brand for her, which is, hinky.
Bottom line, the ballots, errr, voters in her district will decide her fate.

A good friend is close to our local House Rep. The Representative is an actual conservative, but concedes that the amount of truly conservative Republicans in Congress is 30% max. So that means no more than 15% of Congress is with us. None of that is a surprise, of course, but it is confirmation that we’re screwed.

The camera wasn't pointed directly at her. It was a surveillance camera that covered the whole seating area. The video was later highlighted to defend the theaters actions.
If you saw the video you saw other patrons asking her to settle down. Patrons, rightfully, complained to management. More than once ushers asked her to settle down.
I'd vote for her over a Democrat but I wouldn't trust her.

The guy doesn't even have the self awareness and intestinal fortitude to just shave his head, instead he just rocks ridiculous widow peaks.
So I don't know what exactly is going through her mind but she's clearly not focused or has it together.

Sure, what Boobert did wasn't any worse than what MOST politicians do, and certainly a LOT less worse than some.
But accusing anyone who is critical of her behavior as somehow hurting your cause, or acting like everyone who is critical of her behavior is taking it to the extreme of condemning her to a life of misery, outside of Congress is just silly.
She behaved like a tramp. Own it. Or don't. Nobody cares what anyone else thinks, but acting like the reactions to her stupid behavior is somehow wrong is just... tiresome.

Feinstein was the tie-breaking vote on the Judiciary Committee, which approves judicial nominees. The GOP will likely refuse to seat her replacement on the committee.
Pres. Biden’s ability to confirm federal judges will be severely curtailed. An RBG-level disaster.

He is an ex-junkie. 14 years according to him.
There is a reason for NA and AA, and some people get clean and sober, and some people also manage to get their lives back and do something beyond being clean and sober.
Being a jackass is not the end of a life, sometimes getting over it is the beginning of being even better than what you once were.
My issues with RFKJr have nothing to do with his drug use, and any problems I have with Trump, Bobert et al have nothing to do with any moral failings.
A surprising number of people seem to be rock ribbed conservatives who are willing to drop "superstars" for reasons unconnected with why they seem to be effective, which generally indicates that being effective is not as important as it should be.

Over all, yes, but there's the whole 'dirty tricks playbook' used to blackmail them. I hope the theater thing was all they have on her. We don't need GoPe pols to be starch shirt paragons. We need them incorruptible or at least smart enough to avoid obvious blackmail traps. It was intensely stupid to date a Dem staffer. Like intensely.

She won last year by 10s of votes. After having won two years prior in a seat she took from a Gopey Gope in the primary.
She's going to be primaried, the party people are already talking about it. If she wins that though, the whole state of Colorado will gun for her, and this time I don't think she'll have enough support to be even close to winning the seat.
Which, again, if you care, should matter. I don't, but some people here seem to.

That's kind of the point. The left doesn't care about anything other than winning. They lie, they cheat, they do business with our enemies and commit treason and their voters still turns out for them. Ted Kennedy murdered a woman and never had to break a sweat to get re-elected.
Kennedy and Chris Dodd famously made a waitress sandwich in one of their drunken nights on the town in DC. Didn't even register a mild tisk tisk from Democrats. What Boebert did was tasteless but all politicians are tasteless. I don't care anymore. We are fighting marxists.

I often make inappropriate jokes, but I feel I need to be more serious after the passing of Senator Diane Feinstein. My thoughts and prayers are with the Chinese people in this time of great loss and sadness.

You are right, super inappropriate, I apologize. Luckily, my mean words can't hurt her now, she is at peace.
Rest in Peace, oh champion of ripping babies limb from limb inside their mother's womb. Your great work is finished, and job well done

he attends NA per his own statements. He doesn't discuss it on interviews. My main concern is that no one is morally perfect, and any attempt to build them up just builds them up for a fall.
Actually I am not terribly concerned that he is an addict, just that he is not using and he is not trying to hide it.
Recovery is odd, in my experience.
some people just focus on being clean and sober, and never going back to what it meant to them.
Others look to find greater purpose and use sobriety for making the world better and greater.
Both are truly inspiring, and provide great hope for myself and the world.
And both can be really irritating at times.

I do care about her honoring & standing up for the political principles that got her elected to Congress... exactly as I care about each & every one of her "coworkers" doing the same.
I'm sick of people hanging around solely for the decent salary, generous staffs, extraordinary benefits, and very untethered lifestyle that the Legislative Branch provides them and, very often, their family members. I'm sick of all of their pay for votes schemes that are bleeding the average person & taxpayer - F the color coding - of this nation dry & also harming our youth, seniors, and truly needy (often one & the same).
It's time that all of 'tammany hall' is cracked down upon.

Well, unfortunately, the candidates who tell folks to F off normally head into ethnic and sexual slur territory.
If you've got a path to win the Upper Midwest, where language probably wouldn't be an issue - go for it. Til then the 2024 candidates have the path of VA and GA, so that's the 2 states they have to nail down and win. And both states have popular govs to help anyone who plausibly can win them.

This is one hell of a good idea.
Imagine going on social media with an offer that for say, $10, you will pour a container of piss on her grave. Must be shipped n a non-spill, non-breakable container. Or...for $15 we will provide the piss.

That saying, "whatever Democrats accuse Republicans of they are doing themselves" is not just for the look-back machine, it applies in real time. So, when Leftists accuse Republicans of fascism, it is what the Democrats are doing. (fascism grew from socialism so to be fascist, you must first be socialist). It applies to everything since Democrats are so hypocritical.

"the Trump Terrorist Event -- the fact of Trump's victory -- hit them much more deeply than 9/11 did. They didn't just lose two towers and 3000 people on Election Day.
On Election Day, most knew Trump had won, but still held out hope that Hilary wouldn't concede or that Detroit would suddenly "find" 100,000 uncounted votes.
November 9, 2016 was when the actual SMOD -- reality -- hit.
They lost their feeling of control and power over America. And believe me, after 8 years of Obama, and with the social and cultural winds at their back, able to gin up social media hate-mobs against anyone who even said something they didn't like, and able to sic the IRS on conservative groups and get away with it scot-free -- they felt like they were in total control.
And they were right to feel that way: They were in total control.
And now that's gone. ...
And they've gone crazy."

But…[they're] completely unwilling to publish any articles or white papers supporting anti-trust investigations into Google? Why is the one thing you're never allowed argue for in Conservative, Inc. -- the one unforgivable heresy -- the same thing that Google and the other tech monopolies are paying protection money for? Why is this the only issue not up for debate? You can argue for Transgender Strippers doing "story hour" for kids in taxpayer supported libraries, and your fellow members of Conservative, Inc. will slap you on the back and call you "brave" for taking on small-minded bigotries.
But none of these bravehearts apparently feel as if suggesting we simply enforce on the-books laws against trusts and anticompetitive behavior..."
