Via The Blue State Conservative
The red wave is rolling. But it is not a surface wave of hope, carrying conservative values like some streamlined all-American surfer, arms spread knees locked and yodeling “here I come America. I will save you. By the way, I am a Republican.”
This is a bit like saying that someone is about to vomit, but it was a good meal when it was served.
But this red wave is of the tsunami caliber, hidden underneath until it hits. And what is hidden is the greed and corruption of the political lifers, dressed this time in the red cloak of the Republican Party while they play prissy and kiss-kiss with conservatives while lying and covering their damnable real intent. NO? Look at the recent 14 creatures of the night in the Senate. Red guys (and gals) laughing all the way to the lobby bank.
They are red all right. Probably better described as scarlet, caricaturing like the great Lincoln -Yankee harlot, “spreading”, sine qua non, but not to save any conservatives. Not for any republic, but for a “Reconstructed” republic into the present national state. Just like, and where, they were rooted.
Not unlike its Democrat twin in contrarian courtship, it begs for votes, for power for representation, and is no better than the whoredom it worships when money is on the public table (or by the bed). Lobby right, lobby red– lobby, lobby, lobby! Same as the lobby blue really—except blue will buy before worship– lobby, lobby regardless of right.
Some of these red guys love to say that the Democrats are the party of slavery. There was NO party of slavery. But they say it because of the popularity of the contemporary moment of the ahistorical notion that slavery is some initial sin. Historical idiots like this supposedly are going to red-wave in and save America. Yes, just like they saved America from Roe vs Wade.
If there is any kind of predictability based on political hindsight, you can bet that death in the form of Roe vs Wade may be in the rearview for now, but no red wave will keep death off the political party rallying cry.
Republicans (the red guys) are opposed to abortion today, but then they were against same-sex marriage merely a decade ago. Sure, they know, as the good political party, what a woman is– but just wait for a political cycle or two, and they’ll come around to realizing that Caitlyn (Bruce, whatever) Jenner really has been a woman all along.
Conservatives cheer like sailors outside a great WWII Chiang Kai-Shek Chinese Brothel, while certain Republican Senatorial and House members, most born and taught of the political pimp persuasion, take money and call on certain Cable and News tadpoles of history and scholarship (FOX, CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPo, All News Networks, ad nauseum) Yep. All blather the same hum and buzz insofar as historiography and/or any honest revelations. FOX, itself, has an all-star cast of ahistorical “scholars” and contributors that would shame William Randolph Hearst.
After all, their campaign manager, FOX NEWS has figured it out. NO? They have figured out that Trump is not a man, but Mike Pence is one because he loves Jesus and celebrates His birthday on January 6 instead of Dec 25, along with party girl, Liz and Baby Snooks, Adam.
But FOX seems to believe that the red wave is coming to save conservatives and the Constitution. Praise the Lord! And piss on Donald Trump.
FOX markets books for its mostly silly authors better than Nancy Pelosi markets ice cream for Ben and Jerry’s (or whomever). And the rest of the tadpoles are as intellectually cozy and careless with history and law as NPR is with communications of a Pravda-like culture. But, in short, to all of them, red waves and red flags are the same things—opportunities for politicians to lie to the people about how they are lying to the people, Republican or not.
To expect any of these–,red, blue or the tadpoles to pass a simple ten-point civics test on the Constitution (many of us had to pass in 8th grade) is like expecting the Fourteenth Amendment to be ratified (since it never was). They know little of that of which they script.
These people in Washington are there in the first place because they cannot survive in real life. Most have been issued degrees in law or “public policy.” The Socratic Method left law school a long time ago, and “public policy” is as useful as the proverbial tits on a boar hog. These “bloviating-crats” are forever admonishing you to “exercise your ‘right to vote’” so the so-called “experiment’ may continue. A “right to vote,” of course, should be placed in the same crapper as red flag laws.
You can almost be sure that as soon as this tsunami of red floods the land, those same overpaid hacks, elected or bureaucratic will be sending red in the form of blood to Ukraine.
Some of us old guys remember Viet Nam for what it was. The graveyard for 58,000 American men. Blue got us in. Red kept us in.
And most also remember that Davis, Lee, and Jackson were republicans. Lincoln, Grant, and Sherman were Republicans.
Article 4 of the constitution provides that each state is guaranteed a republican form of government, NOT a Republican form of government.
And never forget that the Union has a Star-Spangled banner NOT a National Anthem.
Wave red? Maybe more debt and more wars. But that’s about it.

Message to Republicans:
“Don’t say things. What you are stands over you the while, and thunders so that I cannot hear what you say to the contrary.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
If the sole purpose of Republicans was to enable the Democrat agenda, would they do anything differently?
Brilliant koan, Pal!
The great Rush Limbaugh asked the same thing about Democrats destroying America. If the Democrats set out to destroy America, would they do anything differently?
People keep putting their faith in choosing the right party.
There is no choice if you put your faith in any political party.
They all answer to the same master, and it ain’t We The People.
Ammo up.
Real change, real freedom isn’t found in any ballot box.
Resist.
Refuse to comply.
Practice Irish Democracy every day, until your slavers make that impossible.
Spray manure on them.
Spray lead on them when they make any other choice impossible.
They are there to give you the illusion of choice.
Can’t argue the point. Red is just a lighter shade of blue.
So…aren’t Trump republicOns “different”? I’ll take that jab sir!!!!
How many millions of votes in critical states did those 14 senators cost the GOP?
Rules for democrats – knock your enemy down and stomp him until he is dead.
Rules for republicants – IF you knock your opponent down, go to a neutral corner while the ref gets them back on their feet.
I can’t dispute a word said. I hate the republicans but I hate the democrats more. We have a chance and I feel a sacred duty to vote every MF’ing democrat and RINO out of congress on 8Nov2022 and we all must vote in order to actually defeat the huge democrat vote fraud machines in Blue cities. Then when the republicans refuse to do what we elected them to do, we should give them a historical demonstration of our dissatisfaction; some references: The Boston Tea Party, The Fall of the Berlin Wall, The Roman Destruction of Jerusalem, etc.
Since their inception, the Republican Party has been owned by Finance and Industry.
Finance and Industry added the Democrat Party to their portfolio circa 1910.
There may be short-term tactical reasons to vote (R), but expect no real change via elections; it may even be the case that “the worse, the better”, since no real change will come until after serious domestic pain has paid an extended visit to the FUSA.
That is the communist and Nazi positions: help bring on the chaos.
More like Chinese red if you ask me.
Only illusionists think the GOP can save us.
Fox keeps saying the red calvry is coming to save us in November. Lead by Mitch McConnell (who’s in-laws, his wife Elaine Chow’s family, is in the political elite of China), Lindsey Graham (not so closeted homo, who just stated that we should assassinate Putin), Blaine Capital warmonger Mitt Romney, et al. All of whom rubber stamped the last election as “Kosher.”
You can bet the red calvry will enrich the Military Industrial Complex with untold purchases to “protect” the Nazi’s in Ukraine, Israel and elsewhere, as well as line you up to be shot with the next DNA scrambling cocktail. “Hang on America” indeed.
I just hope Liz Cheney loses her primary on August 16th. Sanctimonious bitch.
This guy has a serious case of nihilism. This article made me sick.
“And most also remember that Davis, Lee, and Jackson were republicans.”
Total bullshit…and now neither party represents the beleaguered White man.
I read his point as they were small “r” republicans as opposed to Republican party members… Is that not true?
I have a hard cover copy of ‘The 1862 Plot to Kidnap Jefferson Davis’, which is a historical account of the US Civil War exploits of three French adventurers.
Mine is signed by the author, who is Victor Vifquain’s g-g-grandson.
Vifquain and two other Frenchmen (Vifquain was actually Belgic) decide on their own to ride into Richmond Va and kidnap the President of the Confederacy, to end the Civil War, and they take the name of the characters of from the “Three Musketeers” as they travel around with a small arsenal.
This was – not surprisingly -an unsuccessful plot, however Vifquain eventually joins the US Military and commands multiple engagements that are instrumental in the defeat of the Confederate States. He raised Black troops, and held no sympathy for the Confederacy.
When Vifquain left the US Military, and returned back to his settlement in Nebraska, he sought office as a Democrat, and was an avid opponent of the Republican party which he viewed as opposed to the interests of the common man at that time.
I think that the lesson to take from Vifquain – this Union-supporting soldier and staunch Democrat – is that the Democratic party of today is so far removed from its historical platform as to be now unrecognizable, while the Republican embraced outsourcing, work visa scams and global ‘defense’ spending, charged to future generations, have collapsed the nation in the matter of only a few decades.
A Marjorie Taylor Green, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson or Thomas Massie would likely be viewed by Vifquain and the ‘Democrats’ of his time as like-minded individuals, given the destruction wrought by the ‘captured’, for-profit, uniparty structure that has subdued the state in our own time.
