And then ensure you don’t vote for him or her again, if you’re an actual Conservative.

Moderation
Truism.
We didn’t create this country behind “moderates.” We created this country behind people who veritably placed their very intimate lives on the line and took a stance for Conservatism and freedom. Those persons who believed in minimal government, independence, self-determination, religious freedom, unfettered thought and speech, and the ability to defend same. (Leftists run this way: 1. What isn’t prohibited, 2. Will be mandated.)
And we won’t save this country behind moderation. Moderation to me is the equivalent to defeatism, to capitulation, at this stage in our history. Time and again Liberalism has yielded the downfall of our cities and, by dint of that, the expansion of government in order to backstop failed Leftist policies. For Leftists, it’s a win-win.
For people who may desire to stand on their own two feet, it’s lose-lose.
With one major exception:
The US Government, over many generations now, has taught people how not to stand on their own two feet. The US Government has taught people to become dependent on it, which in turn mandates larger and larger government, more spending, higher taxes.
Moderation is the ability of the GOP to look the Demorats right in the eye, squint, and say “yes, you’re correct; looks like I’ll have to come over to your way of thinking.”
Moderation is for losers.
Just look at the GOP.

GOP, once again, never fails to squander an advantage
John Boehner just loves him some good ol’ Demorats.
Because the Old Staid GOP decided it’s just got to be “business as usual” with John Boehner throned for a third time as Speaker of the House.
Ho-hum. Buh-bye to any power the GOP would have wielded to fight the Demorats and Leftists, despite the majority in the House and Senate.
The GOP, once again, not failing to squander whatever advantage it acquires.
And what would a re-coronation of John Boehner be without the waterworks?
Just when you thought, as an actual Conservative, that the GOP might be starting to change, they go and insist upon the path they’ve trod for years: knocking back drinks at local DC watering holes with their buddies, the Demorats. Back slapping all around.
As Rahm Emanual said, “you never let a serious crisis go to waste,” so the GOP says: “we must never fail to squander a good electoral and tactical political advantage.”
The GOP is broken — and I’m wondering if it can ever be repaired.

GOP: giving the finger to Conservatives over Eric Cantor
Figure 154: RINO in its natural setting.
From PJMedia.com:
(EXCLUSIVE) Eric Cantor’s Top Aide: I’ll ‘Bankrupt’ Virginia GOP, Install Allies, Rebuild It With Cantor’s Donor Cash
by David Steinberg
Sources tell PJ Media that House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s long-time top consultant, Ray Allen, has “angrily” stated to multiple individuals that he intends to bankrupt the Republican Party of Virginia (RPV), to install his own people throughout all levels of RPV’s State Central Committee, and to rebuild the RPV with money from Eric Cantor’s donors.
Ray Allen is considered the “brain trust” of Eric Cantor’s Young Guns, which has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and has hired staff with the intention of retaking control of the RPV at all levels. (Eric Cantor and Ray Allen lost control of the RPV in 2012, when Tea Party/conservative candidates won seats at all levels of the party, taking majority control from Cantor allies.) In this effort to reclaim the majority, Ray Allen has helped orchestrate the parliamentary procedure of “slating” at several RPV conventions this season.
This is, of course, all about the terribly-embarrassing defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor by an unworthy economics professor named David Brat. Who may or may not have had “affiliations” to the TEA Party, whatever that is and whatever that means.
Wherein the defeat was thought to be by, perhaps, a few hundred votes. Oh no. The defeat was by ELEVEN MILLION votes.
That said, there are new plots afoot.
These bombshell allegations — implying that Eric Cantor’s reelection effort intends to dismantle the Republican Party of Virginia and to employ it as a vehicle for the expansion of Cantor’s power and influence — could not arrive at a more precarious moment for the Cantor campaign for two reasons:
1. Cantor just suffered a game-changing defeat at the Seventh District Republican Convention. On May 10, Linwood Cobb — a powerful Cantor advocate and ally — lost the chairmanship of the Seventh District to vocal Cantor critic Fred Gruber.
Additionally, Cantor’s speech at the convention received boos and heckling when he attempted to denigrate Dave Brat. Cantor, receiving this treatment in his own district, appeared visibly unnerved and needed to interrupt his speech to address the hecklers.
2. Cantor’s own recent comments put him in a difficult position for defending against these new allegations about Allen. Recall, Cantor just asked “kissing congressman” Vance McAllister (R-LA) to resign over his infidelity, which will perhaps be considered a much lesser offense by Cantor’s constituents than these allegations regarding the behavior of Cantor’s campaign.
And that’s all you need to know. The Old and Staid GOP giving, once again, the “finger” to Conservatives by way of arcane machinations and ancient runes.
