Why The Right Has No Common Ground With The Left And Can Never Be At Peace Or Truce With Them

An interesting article for those who believe we should nominate a "moderate" Republican:

Sultan Knish No Truce With the Left

“All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.” – George Orwell

Excerpted from Daniel Greenfield’s piece at Sultan Knish: There comes a time when every conservative thinker tries to find some common ground with the left in some area. Today it’s criminal rights and the headlines have Rand Paul denouncing the racist justice system while Grover Norquist and the Koch Brothers join with the left to back their reforms. As usually happens, the conservatives or libertarians turn out to be the useful idiots of the left.

Liberals have a long history of being the left’s useful idiots. It’s only fair that libertarians get a turn.

Republicans are still trying to figure out a truce on gay marriage. They retreated to civil unions, then accepted a full defeat on gay marriage and then acted baffled when Christian bakery owners were dragged into court for refusing to participate in gay weddings. When the left insisted that gay marriage was a civil rights issue, they refused to take them at their word.

Now they’re wondering how an accommodation can be made with tranny rights. A brief look back at gay rights will show that the only possible accommodation is one in which men in dresses have a legal right to use the ladies room and every single closed female space and event. And yes, that means your business will be shut down if you object to Steve using the female locker room.

After a few skirmishes, some fundraising and angry letters, the accommodationists will find ways to accommodate that and we can look forward to conservative activists eagerly crowing about the first gay Republican presidential candidate around say, 2024, and the first Republican man in a dress in the Senate around the same time.

The left does not care about social justice. It cares about power.

Nope, no common ground.

The GOP should publicly renounce any cooperation with the "mainstream" media on the basis that they are nothing more than publicity outlets for radical left wing propaganda. If these "journalists" want to regain any semblance of self-respect and trust, let them prove it to the American people by their actions. The last six years of Obama-love have been the nadir of journalistic integrity, and that stain will not go away for decades. Time to turn up the heat and let them stew in their own juices.

That is a left wing democrat.....socialism is left wing, and the flag is democrat racism on display....what has either one to do with Republicans....it also shows why republicans will never have common ground with the left....we believe in individual freedom, the rule of law, free market capitalism, with the emphasis on freedom....democrats and the left, now one and the same, believe in none of that...
