CONVENIENT CONSERVATIVE VALUES

2012 Quote Source:

“Conservatives will stand united in November. The stakes are too high,” Cruz said. “The Tea Party will show up en masse to support Mitt Romney.”

Cruz addressed the GOP convention Tuesday night — one of a handful of congressional candidates to get a plum speaking role at the celebration of Romney’s presidential nomination. (link)

Roger Ailes Resigns From Fox News, Effective Immediately…

roger-ailesNEW YORK (AP) – Fox News Network CEO Roger Ailes has resigned, 21st Century Fox says.

A former Fox anchor, Gretchen Carlson, alleged in a lawsuit that Ailes had forced her out following a meeting where he told her that “you and I should have had a sexual relationship a long time ago.” The contract of Carlson, who said there was an atmosphere of harassment at Fox, was not renewed when it ended last month.

Ailes denied Carlson’s charges. Since the lawsuit was filed July 6, a succession of Fox employees have come forward to publicly defend him, but they notably did not include Megyn Kelly, who was allegedly also a victim of harassment.

The prime-time host’s profile increased dramatically in the past year following attacks on her by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. (link)

Trump Effect: The EU, Turkey, NATO and Now Clinton Democrats Demand War…

When Donald Trump proposed a simple border wall and tighter immigration enforcement, a gobsmacked “conservative” electorate were stunned to see the entire political universe of people, who most thought would align with such basic tenets, flip 180° and begin stating: “walls don’t work”, “we need open borders”, and “deportations are unfair”….

In July 2015 it was weird to see the “conservative” pundits and professional class expose their true intents so quickly.

Many couldn’t fathom what they were witnessing.  We called this the “Trump Effect”.

Donald Trump suitIn essence Trump exposes the hypocritical nature of the deceivers simply by affirming an intent to give them what they’ve advocated for.  In doing so Trump puts sunlight on their hidden ideology, and forces them out of the shadows.

Remarkably, Trump is doing it again with comments about NATO, Turkey, the EU and a reconsideration of the U.S. role in Europe.

It’s simply an incredible thing to witness.

If we follow the current Democrat arguments to their logical conclusion, we now see liberals shifted to demanding a war against Russia, because Turkey via Erdogan has gone full Islamist and is also a NATO “ally”.

First Principles – by Treeper Cetera

a53c08d4-8a1a-4a6f-859d-6f43f42f213f_zpsd3580be3-1

This series has been previously published. It seems a good time to bring it back again. Originally Sharon worked with Cetera to publish these posts, and all work is done by both of them. I am just copying these posts to give us all a chance to review them again, and some of our newer readers may not have seen them.

Our friend, Cetera, left this comment in a thread earlier this week and I think it serves well as an introduction to his spirit and concern that we find ways to stand fast and encourage one another:

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…”
