For my entire lifetime conservatives have been told that their only home was the Republican party, and that any move for a third or new party would lead to Democrat majorities until the end of time. Given what has happened in the aftermath of Republican’s pathetic attempt to repeal the ACA, it is time to take that chance.

For the past 4 election cycles, every single Republican has campaigned on repealing Obamacare and instituting free-market reforms in its place. They claimed to need control of the House to fight its implementation; they received their majority, they caved. But that was just because they needed control of the Senate; they obtained control of the Senate, they caved. But that was only because they didn’t have the Presidency; now they have the Presidency, what did they do?

Well, Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and a few Republican “leaders” concocted a bill in secret that would have had the effect of crippling the ACA’s funding mechanisms, while leaving in place the regulations and mandates that have been responsible for the massive increase in premiums and deductibles. Then the leadership swiftly pushed the bill to the floor with minimal opportunity for debate or amendment, and presented it to the House as a binary choice between that and Obamacare. When conservatives in the House Freedom Caucus made it plain that they could not support the bill, Speaker Ryan pulled it and a party-wide witch hunt began against the members of the Freedom Caucus. No compromise, no debate, no attempt to recraft the bill; the Republican leaders did what they have done for the past 6 years: they wrote a terrible piece of legislation, bypassed the usual legislative process and demanded that conservatives support it or else. Well, I think it’s about time for “else”.

How many more times are conservatives going to accept the treatment we receive from the Republican party? Every two years conservatives turn out in droves to vote for whatever crap candidate the Republicans have decided to foist upon us. Every legislative session those crap candidates and their crap leaders make a minimal effort to push an agenda that is only marginally more conservative than the Democrat’s would be, and give up after a moment’s difficulty. These people, none of these people, deserve our support any longer. No matter the cost, conservatives must end this cycle or there is no hope for the nation.

Even if it means 20 years of Democrat rule, conservatives must rid Washington of every Paul Rya, Mitch McConnell, and yes even Donald Trump. In many ways these fools are worse then the Democrats; at least the Democrats are honest about what they want to do, and are willing to fight to achieve it. What has Paul Ryan ever fought for? How many times has he winged about reforming entitlements, only to craft a budget that takes one set of Social Security IOU’s and moves them to a different part of Social Security? How many times has Mitch McConnell promised that he will do whatever is necessary to ensure Neil Gorsuch is confirmed? Does anyone really believe that he will remove the filibuster if Democrats use it?

And for those of you who thought that Trump would be the Avatar of rage against the Establishment, what has he done to unseat Paul Ryan and enact a conservative legislative agenda? He spent a couple of weeks demanding that the awful Establishment-crafted replacement for Obamacare be passed, and then turned his guns on the conservatives as soon as it failed. If you really want to destroy the Establishment, if you really want to get rid of those pieces of human debris who fight conservatives at every turn, but refuse to battle the Democrats, then you must destroy the Republican Party. That is the only option. Until each and every Republican hack politician and staffer finds himself jobless and partyless, they will continue to give conservatives the shaft. I say it’s high time we stop bending over and taking it.
