Memo to McCarthy: Conservatives are sick of playing nice with Democrats out to destroy our republic

By Jon Dougherty, editor-in-chief

As news broke late Wednesday that POTUS Donald Trump acquiesced to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s demand that he hold off giving the annual State of the Union Address until the current partial government shutdown is over, you could almost hear the collective groan from the president’s massive grassroots base.

The president made his decision after the California Democrat announced in a letter to the White House that she won’t allow a resolution ‘authorizing’ the president to come to the House chamber to deliver the SOTU.

“I am writing to inform you that the House of Representatives will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the Presidentâ€™s State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened,” she wrote yesterday.

In seeking to assauge conservatives’ angst over this petty insult, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) went on Sean Hannity’s Fox News program Wednesday evening to whine.

“I truly believe history will mark this as a low point for the Speaker of the House, for that office, to disinvite this president. That’s why tomorrow, Sean, I am bringing forth to the floor a privileged resolution disapproving of the actions of this Speaker,” McCarthy said.

Yeah, probably. Depending on who is writing the history. But so what?

“So what speaker Pelosi is doing is almost acting like a dictator,” McCarthy continued. “By bringing a privileged resolution allows a vote on the floor to disapprove of this action. Because I believe, at no other time in America, it is more important now to have the president, the senators, the House members, Republican and Democrats alike, all in one place talking about where America’s at today and where we can go in the future.”

True. We agree. ItÂ is important, especially now.

“This is bigger than just our country. The world watches the State of the Union. And you know what’s most concerning to me? Since 1934 there has not been a state of the union past February 2nd. She is putting politics before people and she’s running it almost like a dictatorship,” he added.







Well, yeah, sheÂ is, Mr. Minority Leader. What else is new? She is an authoritarian leader of an increasingly authoritarian party whose objective is to regain power any possible way it can — through the normal election process, through election theft, through vote fraud.

Any. Way. Possible. And after what happened to Republicans in McCarthy’s state during the midterms, any member of the GOP who still doesn’t comprehend what the Democratic objective is — obtaining power by any means — is of no use to our party or the cause of preserving our republic as it was founded.

No, that doesn’t mean bringing back slavery. Or rescinding women’s suffrage. Or reversing the civil rights movement. Or reimposing “white rule.” Any liberal who really thinks that is brainwashed.

We’re talking about bringing back constitutional government. We’re talking about reinvigorating our governing institutions. We’re talking about bringing sanity back to the Judiciary. We’re talking about preserving American traditions and culture — like working hard to get ahead; valuing family and life; encouraging and emulating success; supporting capitalism as the most successful economic model ever devised; promiting individual liberty and freedom; getting big, fat, inefficient government out of our lives as much as possible so Democrats can’t use shutdowns as political leverage.
