Kurt Schlichter: It's Time to Purge the #FakeNews ConservativesAfter noting the treacheries of Flake, Corker, and Ben Sasse... Insufferable sissy Sasse is everything that is wrong with the Republican Party establishment. He's boring, sanctimonious, and utterly lacking any accomplishment except for distinguishing himself by running his fool mouth about Trump to any enemy outlet that will listen. Sasse poses as one of us, and even wrote an unreadable book mouthing a conservative critique of our crummy culture. The first line is, and I'm not kidding, "Sheryl Crow rocketed to stardom in 1996 on the strength of a single paradox." If I ever write something that awful, please hunt me for sport. In any case, his tiresome tome illustrates the problem: He writes a book about the culture war then gets his panties all in a bunch when we elect someone who is finally willing to fight it. Hmm, I wonder who he means by those who have "strong opinions about Star Trek"? By the way, before the election, some NeverTrumpers called for a purge of those who actually wanted to defeat Hillary Clinton, rather than install her as president for 4-8 years. For example:
Noah Rothman claimed he didn't want such a purge -- but did want Trump supporters to be "made to" confess and denounce their prior heresies. And if they didn't -- the obvious implication is that they would then be purged, because he calls this confess-and-denounce requirement a "modest" "price of admission." Once they confessed their wrongthink and swore allegiance to the Cruise Ship Wing of fake conservatism, they would be re-admitted with probationary and junior status: Republicans need to start thinking about the fallout from 2016 and how to heal the lingering divisions from a fractious year defined by internecine conflict. Note Rothman was completely wrong in those last two prognostications and also now seems wrong about Trump never picking up support from minorities. And yet he persists. After stating that Trump supporters cannot be ejected en masse from the party, he nevertheless demands a "reckoning." ... Once again, he claims he's not for a "petty" war of vengeance against his enemies -- but he will not permit his enemies to return a state of peace unless they "renounce their cause." That is, they are to be subjugated to the winning side, which he thought at the time would include himself and other ridiculous softboys. ... Kurt tells me that The Usual Suspects are freaking out about his call for a purge. However, when Noah Rothman wrote this bitter, vindictive declaration that the Ruling Class Republicans would make their position as The Ruling Class explicit rather than implicit, I rhetorically asked the Usual Suspects on twitter if they agreed with him or would denounce his call for purges and Loyalty Oaths to the Establishment. None, that I remember, would answer. None, that I remember, chastised him. So if they're whining about Kurt's Modest Proposal now, why were they just jake with Rothman's plan back then? Obviously it's because they believe they are in fact a Ruling Class and as such have privileges and immunities that the lower orders do not. They talk about #MuhPrinciples a lot. But if your "principles" are that it's okay to purge when you believe that you will have the power to purge, then you must also agree that it is permissible to purge you as well, should you wind up on the losing side of the Purge Power grab. At least, if you really believe in principles, rather than special powers and prerogatives for your tribe. Speaking of those we need to purge: Because the Mueller investigation seems to no longer be hinting about possible "collusion"-related charges, Quin Hilyer now claims it's a #FakeNews Conservative Conspiracy Theory to say the liberal media ever pushed the "collusion" narrative. That's right -- he's claiming the liberal media did not push a "collusion" narrative, and that it was only people like Byron York and Mollie Hemingway pushing that idea (in order to debunk it).
If you notice, alleged "Conservatives" spend a lot of band-width these days defending the left-wing media to the hilt. Or even to the pommel. Or even to the last security nut at the very end of the pommel. They're not anti-Trump, as Kurt Schlichter has observed -- they're just anti-You. You defied their farcical claims to Rulership, and they'll never get done hating you for that. | Recent Comments
