The scope of those suffering from Battered Conservative Syndrome no longer surprises those who have followed the past 15 years of GOP politics steeped in cultural Marxism.
Say something, anything, adversarial or confrontational toward the progressive leftists and you can be guaranteed of a quick fold from those who suffer from the syndrome.  It doesn’t matter that Joe Wilson was correct; or that conservative Paul Ryan passes Omnibus, or that Mitch McConnell is a complete fraud….

So let’s look specifically at the aspect which the MSM is intentionally trying to keep everyone from paying attention to.  Beginning with the curriculum vitae as expressed by La Raza Judge Gonzalo Curiel.
I would draw your attention to the Hispanic National Bar Association aspect: (more…)

QUESTION:  When was the last time you heard anything joyful from the entire enterprise (including the Glen Beck/Mark Levin types), of those who support Ted Cruz?

Within that answer you discover the reality of their situation.
Desperation breeds anxiety; anxiety begets a specific strain of blame-casting, and that blame-casting creates visible anger manifested as misery and denial.
The denial is emotional, dangerously emotional.  Intellectual honesty, logic and even reality itself must be avoided.   This is the reason why we have warned everyone to stay out of the blast radius from the final stages of their rage.  Quite simply, it’s toxic.

…”Meet at The Old Mill, We Ride at Midnight”

#ColdAnger – After ten consecutive months of the Vichy Republican political class ridiculing patriotic Americans, nipping at us, over – and – over, belittling us, marginalizing us, spiting us, poking their finger in our chests….  Well, now, our brothers and sisters in New York engage their moment to have their voices heard.
A visible and quantifiable moment to rise, push-back, join with common sense fiscal conservatives and state OUR united refusal to be co-dependents in our national demise. 
We are counting on you in New York not just for victory, but to deliver a resounding victory that can help inspire the remaining primary states to assemble.

Please allow me to be perfectly clear. I hold a ‘traditional conservative’ outlook.  Fiscally conservative.  I don’t care if what you do in your bedroom, nor does it bother me if you choose to marry a squirrel, wear a snickers bar costume to the grocery store, or make it your life’s mission to spend all day filling canoes with pancakes.  So long as your personal life choices in the pursuit of your happiness do not impact, impede, diminish or interfere with independent choices of others – have at it.

However, when it comes to federal spending, it becomes another matter entirely. A tidal wave of debt is close to collapsing our nation.
That’s why this latest proclamation by Lyin’ Speaker Ryan is infuriating.  Heck, honestly, it’s well beyond infuriating.
President Obama has never had a federal budget.  The last federal budget was signed into law in September of 2007 for fiscal year ’08.  That was the last budget passed and signed into law.  Nine consecutive fiscal years without a budget.
On December 11th 2015 the House passed a $2+ trillion Omnibus spending bill, and eliminated the debt ceiling.  They didn’t raise the debt ceiling, they eliminated it.  The Omnibus was structured to carry federal spending all the way to March 2017. (more…)

A “conflict of interest” (COI) is a situation in which a person or organization is involved in multiple interests, financial interests, personal or other interests, one or more of which could possibly influence the motivation of the individual or organization.

A person or entity avoids a conflict of interest by:

• a.) not engaging in activity that might be conflicted by a duality of interest, or
• b.) disclosing the potential conflict – allowing associated parties to be aware and decide independently if the conflict is influencing behavior.

In essence, when presented with a potential conflict of interest, be truthful and provide full disclosure.
If unsure, err on the side of full transparency, and do so as soon as the conflict presents – don’t wait.
This becomes the generally accepted best ethical practice to avoid potential issues that may arise as a consequence of conflicted interest; especially financial conflicts.
♦ Recently, the financial payments by political entities upon media personalities has created quite a stir.  When CTH revealed (from FEC filings) financial payments by Political Action Committees to media pundit Erick Erickson (and others), the response was to besmirch CTH for revealing the payments.

In 2015 the National Republican party (RNC) demanded a loyalty pledge from candidate Donald Trump.  Yesterday, the Republican Party of Colorado worked aggressively to ensure that Donald Trump would not be allowed as the party candidate.
Then the Colorado GOP sent the following message:

Here’s are examples of what took place (more…)

First, let’s be brutally honest –  This latest manipulation by Ryan is nothing but pure Machiavellian political maneuvering by the professional republican party in an effort to keep the unwashed masses from recognizing intentional usurpation.
This is professional political ‘gaslighting‘ folks, and it is beyond infuriating:

Filthy, lying CRAPWEASEL…

Sometimes when you find yourself in a disconcerting and unfamiliar place, it can be beneficial to stop, look back and understand just how we ended up in this terrain.  The professional DC consultant class are benefiting from the current climate of chaos, and they certainly don’t want anyone to review the consequential and intentional steps it took to get here.
When the Tea Party rose up in opposition to President Obama’s indulgent spending programs in 2009 many were under the mistaken assumption the opposing party, the republicans, were against the progressive agenda based on principle.

However, there were a few voices on our side saying be wary of the UniParty nature of DC, the republican party is not our friend.  Money always fuels their motives; so long as there are millions available to the ‘loyal opposition’, the republican political intentions should not be regarded as altruistic.
At the time those concerns were dispatched by a louder voices demanding strategic unity and instructions to work within the DC-based GOPe system.  However, ultimately what benefit lies within unity if the end result is just a destructive?   The awakened electorate was just as much a risk to the republican side of the UniParty as it was the Democrat side.
It was from this basic framework of acceptance the Conservative Tree House was born. A “last refuge” where common sense approaches still mattered.

Those who follow politics the closest know the strategic reasoning for rebel alliance members to remain as small as possible as they work to diligently gather ground support toward the most successful of accomplishments.  The elimination of Eric Cantor did not come from a bellicose, and highly visible campaign. 
Cold Anger is not driven to act in spite of itself; instead it drives a reckoning.  Like a long-term battered spouse on the eve of a pre-planned exit, those who are no longer willing to accept the battered conservative syndrome think strategically, methodically, carefully…
In November of 2013 we sent out a clarion call to those who understand politics the best; a warning per se’, predicting what would happen in 2015/2016 if Mitch McConnell was reelected. In hindsight, today, even our largest detractors admit we were correct.  That’s the backdrop for this: (more…)
