The Republican Party is once again on the verge of falling into a liberal trap. They never learn.
Every time the GOP decides to be “open-minded” and “reach out,” they get snake-bitten.
At some point conservatives have to realize that the left hates our guts. They despise us. They have bad intentions, and wish to crush us by using our desperate human desire to be liked against us. Once the right realizes that the left does not see us as human, conservatism can finally advance.
The GOP is considering agreeing to a presidential debate sponsored by Politico. This is insane.
The GOP should immediately vow to boycott such debates.
Just because the Democratic Party is an entire collection of beggars does not mean we Republicans have to adopt their model.
It is not enough for Democrats to grovel in front of MSNBC. Liberal ethnic minorities know that MSNBC consists of upper class white bleeding heart liberals that empathize with minorities from afar but certainly would not be in the same room as they are.
This leads to Democrats doing debates on Black Entertainment Television, MTV, The View, the Gay and Lesbian groups, and PBS to satisfy the animal lovers.
Democrats in 2008 had debates about “black issues,” “Hispanic issues,” “gay issues,” and other nonsense.
The Republican party has a central set of core conservative principles. We lose when we stray from them and win when we stick to them. Since the ideas are the uniting factor, segregated Jim Crow debates are not necessary.
Herman Cain does not need to go on BET. Michele Bachmann does not need to go on The View. They are conservatives who can talk about cutting taxes and spending while killing terrorists to any conservative audience of any race or gender.
The Politico and MSNBC have zero interest with Republicans except to demonize and ridicule them. They are not real news organizations.
Democrats threatened to boycott Fox News, but the difference is that people actually watch Fox News. The ratings justify appearing. Democrats and independents do watch Fox News.
MSNBC and the Politico represent the hard left. Republicans have nothing to gain and everything to lose by taking questions from “unbiased moderators” like Chris Matthews. If we deny him, he will hate us. If we give in, he will hate us. Let him yell and scream, but not with my candidates in the room.
Some on the left will argue that boycotting the liberal media would be a threat to democracy.
This is totally wrong. Primaries are not general elections.
In the general election, liberals have a stake. It may be ever shrinking, but it is more than zero.
The Republican primary is for Republicans. In the same way liberals should have zero say in when Republicans schedule their primaries and caucuses, they should also have zero say in our primary fights.
The Republican National Committee should make sure that every “moderator” truly is just that. Republicans don’t need to take questions from Bob Herbert (formerly) of the Jayson Blair Times just because he claims to speak for all blacks. Conservatives do not need to take questions from Katie Couric or Joy Behar just because they are demented enough to think they represent any sane women.
Dr. Thomas Sowell and Dr. Walter Williams are brilliant economists. Let them moderate a debate on fiscal matters. They happen to be black, but that is irrelevant. They are the best and brightest. Charles Krauthammer is the finest foreign policy mind on Earth. He happens to be Jewish, but that takes a back seat to his being brilliant.
Otherwise, we can be like the left. We can have a bunch of while male hatemongers like E.J. Dionne babble about diversity while attacking the candidates for being born with a y chromosome and light melanin content.
It is bad enough the left weasels their way into the general election debates. Gwen Ifill and George Stephanopolous get to ask questions. For some reason, conservative reporters do not.
This cannot happen in the primaries. Let the Politico froth like the rabid leftist dogs they are. They cannot and must not get into our primaries.
If they do, Republicans should blame themselves for being “tolerant.”
It is time to hunt for the leftist infiltrators and verbally take care of them like the little rats they are.
Only then can Republicans have real conservative debates free from liberal bias and ideological bigotry.
