RWer Jennifer Rubin (WAPO) lambastes the GOP over "crackpots"

[Mertex]

Call me when the Dems are ready to rid itself of crackpotism. Hell, the entire leftwing is complete crackpotism.

How utterly laughable.

Yeah sure....we're not the ones cringing in fear over Obama's takeover in Texas (and I live in Texas)....we don't pay homage to Conspiracy theories as in this OP....yeah, you're utterly laughable.

No, you're the party that goes to sleep at night mumbling Bush, thinks all the world's ills will be fixed if we just spend and tax more, thinks Jews are the root of all evil and Islamic fundamentalists are misunderstood and the Christians are the real issue.

Where do you get such bullshit. We're just thankful Bush is no longer relevant...and the fact that Jeb gets his foreign policy from him should make it easy to knock Jeb out pretty quick. We don't want the middle-class to be taxed more, unlike most conservative wannabe Presidents, we just want the right wing to quit coddling the 1% - so where you get your misinformation is obvious, Faux News.

And, I don't know any Liberal that hates Jews, in fact Obama is well liked by Israel, just because he didn't fold to that right-wing nuts and Nut-and-yahoo doesn't mean that Obama hates Jews.

Israel Matzav Finally Netanyahu and Obama agree on something

And, Christians are not the real issue, I'm a Christian myself, it is just the extreme whack-a-do Christians that think rape is okay by God and contraceptives are bad, that are making all Christians look bad.

Completely delusional morons most of you..... as for Obama's takeover of Texas... I have no idea what you are babbling about.

Wow! A conservative Governor goes out on a whacky limb, wasting tax-payer money summoning the Texas Guard to oversee the military because some whacko conservatives think that Obama is planning a military take over of Texas and you have no idea what I'm talking about? No wonder your party is so misinformed....most of you are comatose.


Governor Abbott's move is the very essence of not only poor leadership, but destructive leadership. As governor, he is supposed to be the adult, yet by ordering up the State Guard, he's giving credence to the conspiracy fears that have been the DNA of the Tea Party and the Alex Jones mentalities which have plagued the nation throughout the Obama years.

You have to be self centered/self absorbed and a crackpot to be a cult member of that party.

good gawd

Leftwing ideology is indeed a mental disorder... or brought on by chronic drug abuse. Either way...

I say every once in a while that they don't have a couple of their wires completely connected.

oh they went to one website and took what ONE person was wondering over these Military exercises that is going to be done in Texas..... and took it and spread it around like it was all THE GOP. That's how low and desperate they are. its patethic

One person........geez, Steph, you really are misinformed, or ignorant....or both.


“We’re getting back to our basics,” Lt. Col Mark Lastoria, USSOC spokesman, told the packed house Monday. “After 14 years of combat, there are certain other core tasks that we’ve neglected or we haven’t had time to train on … We have to make sure that we have all of the muscles trained.”

Many in attendance balked at Lastoria’s assertions that the exercise is only training for future operations overseas.

“When we have a federal government that cannot tell the truth, how do we know that what you’re saying is true?” an attendee asked Lastoria.


Jade Helm public hearing, 04.27.15
Many in the courtroom expressed apprehension for Jade Helm 15 fearing the implementation of martial law, confiscation of weapons, fuel and food, or the bringing of enemy forces, like ISIL, to help with the training.
Residents outraged over Jade Helm 15 training www.statesman.com

DALLAS — The questions being raised by right-wing bloggers and conservative commentators about a Pentagon training exercise called Jade Helm 15 traverse the outer edges of political paranoia.

Getting rid of crackpotism in the GOP

...Republicans have their own problem: They tolerate far too many crackpots.

Dr. Ben Carson joins Mike Huckabee in refusing to accept that Supreme Court decisions, on gay marriage for example, are binding. Pressed by Chris Wallace, Carson insisted that Marbury v. Madison and more than 200 years of history have not settled the issue. “It is an open question. It needs to be discussed.” Actually, it’s not open...

Huckabee has ... hawked “nutritional supplements” as a cure to diabetes. He insisted on Sunday, “One of the elements of the plan was dietary supplements, but it is not the fundamental thing.” (Then why encourage people to buy them?) He declared, “I don’t have to defend everything that I’ve ever done.” So he’s both a constitutional and dietary charlatan. Either one should disqualify him.

Then there is Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who cynically chooses to pander to the conspiracy-mongers who turning a military exercise primarily in Texas into a secret plan to impose martial law. Cruz has taken their nonsense as legitimate and made inquiries at the Pentagon. Rich Lowry hit the nail on the head on ABC, calling this “pandering to a vocal minority.”...

...How many times has Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) falsely suggested the National Security Agency is listening to the content of millions of phone calls? Before reversing himself, he also gave support to the anti-vaccine hooey. At what point do voters say, you know, that’s not the mindset or character of someone who we’d want as president?

Responsible conservatives should follow Lowry’s lead — name and shame — lest the GOP be seen as a haven for the unhinged. ...

For discussion ---

This quoted material begs the question: are Conservatives out there in the real world going to be willing to listen to self-criticism? Once the Jade 15 exercises are completed and people like Ted Cruz are going to look like complete and utter fools for having tried to make this into a nefarious gubbermint plot to enslave Texans and what-not, are Conservatives going to wake up and realize that a number of their candidates are often saying things that are considered absolutely insane by the overwhelming majority of people who are sane?

I accept criticism of Clinton, Sanders, O'Malley, etc, because I know that no candidate is a perfect person. Are Conservatives willing to do the same, or are they going to just grumble that somehow, Jen Rubin is not really a Conservative?

I gotta say, from my perspective, the crop of GOP candidates that is forming for 2016 makes the 2012 GOP crop look tame, lily-livered and Liberal in comparison. They make Barry Goldwater look like Lenin. And their 2012 nominee lost decisively against an embattled Democratic president during economic rough times. I see the same conundrum forming for 2016 as formed for 2012: that GOP candidates are tacking so unbelievably hard to the Right in order to feed enough "red-meat" to a crazed ultra-Conservative base, "red-meat" that then turns into a poison-pill for the GOP when the General Election campaign starts up after both nominations are completed. It appears that Jeb Bush recognizes this conundrum, but even before officially getting out of the starting gate, he has put his foot in his mouth about the Iraq War that may very well jettison any hope of him even launching, which I suspect causes Scott Walker to whoop with glee.

So, what do you think of Jen Rubin's words?

Let's see who can actually debate like a real adult on this thread and put his emotions in his side pocket and actually debate the quoted material...

Oh, and nat4900 - thanks for trying this once already. This material DESERVES to be debated.

she is hardly a 'staunch conservative.'

She is a waffling platitude-spewing, left-wing respect seeking bundle of contradictions.

Levin has repeatedly called Rubin out:

* * * * Rubin's smears of Cruz, Lee, Paul, et al and numerous conservative groups, explain her popularity as a guest on MSNBC and a paid hack as a Washington Post blogger. But if you're looking for insight, substance or scholarship, she's incapable of it.

-- Mark Levin Show - The idiotic Jennifer Rubin again

Back in March of 2013 Mark Levin summarized what Rubin is and isn't:

* * * * I'm tired of stand-for-nothing, unprincipled, putative Republicans who've done nothing for conservatism but trash it and misrepresent it, lecturing us from their basements. Jennifer Rubin knows nothing about Russell Kirk or Edmund Burke. She knows nothing about Locke or Montesquieu. She knows nothing of Madison, Jefferson, or Adams. She's your typical big mouth know-nothing RINO who found her way from LA to DC and spews her idiocy in the pages of the Washington Post.

-- Mark Levin Show - Jennifer Rubin is just another idiot

Send up a flare when the alleged "staunch [sic] conservative [sic]" actually authors a blog that addresses the idiocy of the modern American liberal political philosophy. We won't be holding our breath.

I thanked you not because I agree with you, but rather, because you were at least willing to bring additional information to this thread.

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9515 mit Tapatalk

I don't think there is too much chance that your "thank you" was to be deemed agreement.

I get what you are saying.

I fundamentally disagree with Rubin as touted in your OP for the same reasons so often aired by Mark Levin.

also, I'll think: they have lost their marbles. sometimes it's like. Holy crap

 

[IlarMeilyr]

That's right Conservatives...you don't need a RINO like this Jennifer telling you what to do. Buck tradition...nominate your far, far right candidate and prove it was Romney's "middle of the road" stance that made him lose. Put your theories into action!!! Palin/Cruz 2016

I don't think anybody values YOUR advice Seabiscuit.

The last true conservative nominated by the GOP won in a landslide --

twice.

But when we put up mediocrity, we lose to the Democrat Parody and its handmaiden apparatchik left wing news outlets.

Gee. Maybe we SHOULD simply disregard YOUR partisan hack "advice."

s.com) - During an interview on WPRI's "Newsmakers" last week, Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) said House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) would have to "make the case to all of us about what the plan is going forward."

He compared her leadership to that of a sports team, saying "when the team is not doing great, you got to make some changes."

"I would say this: You can look at different sports coaches over the years, and when teams are doing great, the coach is doing great, and when the team is not doing great, you got to make some changes, and so certainly I would say we need to look at are we making progress or are we not making progress,” Langevin said when asked it he thought it was time for Pelosi to move on.
