Ubu to the Republican Party: So Long, and Thanks For All the Pork
And illegal immigration, pork, half-assing the War on Islamofacism, pork, creating another huge bureaucracy, more pork, nearly blowing the SCOTUS picks, and, oh, probably a dozen other little things that don’t quite come up to the level of major grievance, such as not prosecuting seditionists. (As much as I’d like to, I can’t blame you for Banner of the Stars III not being licensed in region 1 yet.)
At this point, I’ve given up on the Republican Party. I’m not voting for them just to keep the Dems out of office. That’s what they want and expect. The only way to remind them of who their bosses are is to humble them. Break them on the anvil of the voting booth, and reforge them into something better.
However, I no longer believe that is likely, and I can’t continue holding my nose and hoping. Therefore, I am no longer a Republican. Henceforth, I am a member of the Jacksonian Party, even if it’s just a party of one. For those who would like to know more about the beliefs of this party, and why Andrew Jackson is it’s namesake, I recommend this article.

“One man with courage makes a majority.” - Andrew Jackson

Welcome to the 21st Century, much like the 19th, but Nations heading downhill so that the People must go uphill. The easy days of the comforting Nation State are over and the hard, hard work of building and maintaining a Republic must shift back to where it belongs.
We the People.
Each of Us.

So true. I’ve got to find the time to write more on this but like Napoleon said, “Ask me for anything but time.” Of course, he was talking about military affairs, but it still works.

[...] That’s RINO immigrant, thank you. About what we expect. Oh, wait, why am I worried about it? “Let’s just vote on it and stop with the political games,â€? said Wiseman. And the day labor site won a renewed a contract. [...]
