Never Trumpers’ Whining About Principles Was Just An Act

Never Trumpers' Whining About Principles Was Just An Act

You know all that insufferable babbling and crying about “principles” we had to endure from you Never Trump Konservative Ken Dolls? Your rending of your cheap suits, your 180s over classic GOP policies because The Donald actually tried to enact them, and your mortifying blubbering to suddenly sympathetic hosts on MSNBC and CNN about how awful our President is? With your sad, drawn faces and high-pitched voices, you True Conservatives of Conservatism™, you Keepers of the Flame of Conservativeness resisted the coming of Donald Trump (and those who supported him) because…because…

 Because that’s not who we are…

 Because we’re better than that…

 Because…our principles!

Our principles. Yeah, right. Well, it was all a crock, a con, a grift by a bunch of displaced Beltway strivers furious that the marks – that’s us Normals – wised up to their scam, played the players, and sent them packing.

Principles? You laughed uproariously at Sean Hannity’s confidential information being revealed for no good reason, just as you laughed at President Trump when federal agents marched into his lawyer’s office to steal privileged documents as part of the shameful collusion farce you’ve been applauding. Your principles didn’t stop you from supporting an effort to undo the results of an election that left you out in the cold.

What would the Founders say? Probably, “Stop trying to hang around with us.”

Where are your principles in the face of the gross injustices of the last few days? A federal judge who was nearly appointed Bill Clinton’s attorney general and who officiated at Soros’s wedding ordered Hannity’s information disclosed, but that was cool with you. After all, Sean Hannity is so…oh well, I never!

Principles that depend on who is asserting them aren’t principles. They are poses.

If you actually adhered to them, your principles would have you shrieking, not cheering. A bunch of Hillary-donating feds should not be allowed to randomly pillage through privileged materials looking for a crime. No, the crime-fraud exception does not mean that the feds can just take all your stuff, read through it, and decide if some happens to fall into that narrow exception and leak the rest. But hey, why let some principles get in the way of a good laugh at the expense of one of those Trump people?

Gosh, it’s almost like your talk of principles was just…talk.

The government is mocking due process, shattering attorney-client privilege, and undermining the rule of freakin’ law, but you’re giggling like teen girls at a One Direction reunion concert, only you’re less butch. Where are your principles now that invoking them helps someone you don’t like?

Missing in action, like Bill Kristol and Max Boot when it comes to the wars they so eagerly advocate.

You and your principles. Your only principle is getting the president out of power so you can weasel back in.

You don’t hate Donald Trump because he feels he can ignore your glorious principles o’ convenience. You hate Donald Trump because he feels he can ignore you.

And same with the rest of the Normals, those of us who had to spend decades listening to your excuses and lies until we noticed that the cruise ship captains of the conservative elite had been treading water. Oh yeah, every election you promised to fight, and after every election all you did was fail. But you had a good gig, as long as the bipartisan elite grift was in effect. When the GOP won, you were the in-crowd, and you raked in donations and media hits with the promise that you would use the power we gave you to make real conservative change.

But that never seemed to happen.

And when the GOP lost, well, then you were in opposition, and so you raked in the dough and attention talking about how you would fight once we put you back into power.

It was a pretty good scam, that is, until we got tired of being lied to and installed a disruptor into office. And what we hired him to disrupt was your sweet little gig.

We rejected you. Us unwashed, uncivilized, non-DC/NY-living nobodies rejected you, and now you can’t even get your phone calls returned from that 24-year old guy in a MAGA hat down at the Old Executive Office Building. You’re a nobody, a punchline, writing articles nobody reads for magazines no one remembers.

It gnaws at you.

But you still have your principles, your precious principles, and the liberals will let you act out your Never Trump charade on their shows and in their pages because it’s helpful to them to have little Mr. Helper playing Sad Conservative Has-been Against Trump. But they don’t respect you. And they don’t like you. And when they are finished with you, it’s back in the gimp box.

You think you’re Michael Corleone Conservatives, pulling the strings, plotting to take power. But you’re really just Fredocons. You’re not smart, you can’t handle things, and you may want respect, but don’t hold your breath.

Still, you have your wonderful principles. Congratulations. And if you close your eyes and try real hard, you unaccomplished mediocrities can imagine that you aren’t just lying there on your bellies at the feet of your liberal overlords. But you are. Maybe if you beg, if you obey, if you please them by trashing the people you used to pretend to champion, perhaps your masters will drop a scrap off the table for you to gobble up.

Here’s a hit on NBC with Chuck Todd. Be ready with a bon mot about how Donald Trump is a moral cancer.

Here’s a chance to write for the New York Times. Be careful to stay within bounds, though, or else.

Here’s an invitation to a little cocktail soiree in Georgetown. Just make sure you shake your head in disgust when the other partygoers talk about those racist hillbillies and science-hating Christians with their guns and Jesus and masculinity.

You’ve talked and talked and talked about principles, but as James Comey and Robert Mueller and your gal Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit undermined every principle this country was founded on, all you did was clutch pearls about how Trump is icky. This country is in real danger of breaking apart, of actual conflict, but all you can think of is recovering your cheesy little seat on the Beltway bench.

No one’s fooled. And no one cares. Which ought to scare the hell out of you. Because when the liberals figure out that you have zero credibility with us real conservatives, you’ll stop being their useful idiot. You’ll just be a plain old idiot.

Fredocons. Great line.

Wow! Nice rant, Kurt! You’ve set me thinking about the Heritage Foundation which keeps sending me requests to continue my membership. The question I’m asking myself is: If you (heritage) have been so great at informing incoming congress critters for the past 40 years or so, why do things seem to keep getting worse ? I’m going to ask that question when I decline their request; not that I expect to get an answer. And thank you, Mr. Quinn for the post!

Kind of like the (gay) Bill Buckley scam…..I dumped Heritage when they dumped Richwine for pointing out the truth about immigration.

In my 20’s and 30’s, I foolishly donated to the RNC, the RNSC, Heritage Foundation, and others. I believed I was supporting conservatism. As I matured and suffered through the lies and disappointments , especially the repeated failure of the Republican party to address any serious conservative issues EVEN WITH MAJORITY POLITICAL POWER, I realized the party labels don’t matter and I am just a serf against a power elite.That is why I was so glad to support and vote for Trump. A cat thrown amongst the pigeons. Go Trump Go.

Principals only need addressing when they fit the narrative a litician needs it to fit. Unless your principles serve an ideology that ends in servitude to the state. Then the principals are the same as Islam.

Trump has definitely forced everyone to show who and what they are, and what they really stand for.

Yes, there is an enormous need to force people to come out of the shadows and be exposed. Declare who and what you stand for. But, hiding in the shadows or behind other men with guns is how the feckless rule. Pussies.

Thank God I never sent them a dime. Years ago I tried to fill out one of their surveys and couldn’t do it. All the questions were rigged to force you to co-sign their bullshit or put you on record as a mal-content. So I took a red pen and edited the survey; couldn’t even do that. So I tore it up and put it in the postage paid envelope and sent it back to them. Repeat until they stopped sending me their junk mail. Free at last.

This guy is a waste of time. Only those mean ole dummos are unprincipled…. Unlike all those ‘conservatives’ who are just marinated in principle. Right. That’s why you can look at a graph of government spending over the last 50 years and see no correlation between spikes in spending and ‘conservatives’ being in power-like the spike just tacked on with this pork gorged omnibus bill the repos served up by a ‘conservative’ house and a ‘conservative’ senate to the ‘conservative’ president. Principle, my ass. There isn’t a fucking scintilla of in the district of criminals since Ron Paul blew town. Who can believe this horseshit?

I can’t see why this guy’s parochial bullshit finds it’s way on this site. I read Town Hall one single day and wrote them off as a pack of assholes.

His snark can be funny. That he’s only now seeing Conservative, Inc. as a bunch of grifters – something that others of us figured out years ago – shows that he’s not been fully red-pilled. It’s like he took half of a red pill. He probably thinks low-IQ people could move into the top 5% of incomes if only they could get more education.

Great line!

I have been chomping at the bit to get the criminal round up party into high gear, but the time it has taken is driving me crazy.

Or, maybe not. During my waiting for justice to be served, I have watched the never Trump conservatives dig deeper and deeper holes for themselves as the level of my anger against them increases by the day. This article clarified my disgust at their pompous assertions that they are holding the high ground of conservatism, as they spew their venom against the deplorables who they somehow still think is their base. Each pronouncement against policies that benefit the country and shrink government is another nail in the coffin of their political careers; I just hope there are a lot of Brendan Dilly’s out there to replace these abusers of conservatism, when the time comes to vote; assuming there will be a next time.

I recall a Zippy cartoon where he asks an advertiser, if I buy your product, will you tell me I’m beautiful?

We all want to hear nice soothing lies. Nobody ever votes for hard truths. They are lies and when nobody delivers, we weep like Mary Magdalene. Incidentally, I only knew of one girl named Magdalena, she was a quiet girl with an unfortunate name; her mom might as well have named her Stormy.

We’d rather weep later than vote for the person who promises hard work and sacrifice. What ever happened to Ron Paul? Oh, yeah, too much truth.

Ron Paul did squat. His token opposition made him a pretty good living. When he got pushed onto the stage, he cucked harder than the others. All MLK jr. and disavowing his own newsletters. He loves gold, but the principal was higher than principle.
He and son Rand do free surgery. In Haiti.

Love the rant. Unfortunately, you speak to a very small choir. Everyone else in this shithole believes every word put up on CNN, CNBC, and Fox.

I don’t give a damn whether Trump has principles or not. Among politicians, only Ron Paul who was the most ineffective congressman in history had principles. I respect his character very much. With Trump I’m more concerned with him promoting my principles and agenda. So far he has sucked at getting things done.

The problem with Trump is that he’s a pussy. He should have done what Llpoh said – refuse to sign anything that doesn’t have 100% funding and authorization for his border Wall.

Trump is as good an actor as Reagan, gives as good a speech as Blow Job Bill, is as dumb a general as GW, and is as big a double crosser as Obama. Jimmy was a one term president too.

Oh, but the Lincoln Party is ALL about Principal. Principal matters.
Principal One: Tax Cuts. Principal Two: Federal Contracts.
The Most Important Principal: Donor Kickbacks and “Contributions”

What’s in your Principals? Is there Democracy in there?

Promises: Worthless.
Your Values: Not even two cents.
Keeping Donors Happy: Priceless.

Principal Conservative. The Best Government Money Can Buy.
Lincoln Penny Political Investments. Created Financial Destruction.
The Future does not belong to those who insult the Prophet Marvin.
