The Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) “Senate Update” quotes one of Kentucky’s two largest newspapers, the Lexington Herald-Leader, which recently reported that “U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Republican Leader in the Senate, has decided to declare "war" on the conservatives who disagree with him.”
Is it any wonder that Obama has lately had a smile constantly on his face despite all the negative press and disappointing news from his ObamaCare sources? Sen. McConnell (no connection with this author) has made liberal Democrats joyous at the feud between conservatives in the party and RINO-liberal sympathizers, during the recent and all upcoming election cycles nationwide.
It’s like an early Christmas present to the liberals Democrats. Well, maybe not Christmas, per se, that being of the Christian faith for which all liberal Democrats have nothing but negative thoughts and desires. This anti-Christianism amongst the LIbDems has reached the highest levels of swiftly becoming atheists with our usurper illegal POTUS office holder, Mr. Barack Hussein Obama himself, bringing death-knell decisions outlawing all Christian activities, particularly in our military service branches.
Christians, who once numbered in the eighty percent levels of our country’s population, still register in the lower 70s percent range. Losses, mostly in the non-white communities, who favor Obama’s personal attentions paid them, largely account for the drops in national levels.
This recent quote from Wikipedia, Christianity is the most popular religion in the United States, with around 73% of polled Americans identifying themselves as Christian in 2012. This is down from 86% as recent as 1990...”
Probably helping to diminish the ranks of Christians were comments from Obama’s pastor for 20 years who was a highly questionable Christian, Rev. Jeremiah Wright; most notably when he commented, “[Mar 13, 2008] Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America."
If Obama is a Christian, as he often asserts, why doesn’t he support the values and tenets of that religion instead of excoriate it and rule against true Christian believers as he has openly and unabashedly done particularly with those in our military forces? If a Christian, his targets for denunciation should be those who put down Christianity, not agree and rule against them.
But these days Barack Obama is not only a political enemy of Christians but has been under the political bedsheets with the very RINO-like minority leader of the U. S. Senate, Mitch McConnell. Many believe that the reason McConnell is striking out at Republican Conservatives is because they are a main thorn in his side and as part of the nebulous Tea Party are providing conservative opponents to contest his seat in the next national election. But he is going about it in a distinctly unprincipled way thereby giving fodder to the conservatives for their campaigns.
In the Lexington Herald Leader article on Senator McConnell’s “declaration of war” on Republican conservatives as reported in the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF) “Senate Update” the Republican Leader “is specifically targeting the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF), Heritage Action, Madison Project, and FreedomWorks in a misguided attempt to destroy the Tea Party.”
But as the article goes on to state, “that's not all... McConnell's operatives told the New York Times that he has ordered the Republican Party to stop doing business with private companies that provide services to SCF and to oppose candidates endorsed by SCF.
Their offense? They're associated with our grassroots organization and we support Matt Bevin, McConnell's conservative primary challenger.”
The SCF once led by former South Carolina Republican Senator Jim DeMint, no great friend of Sen. Mitch McConnell, went on to suggest that he, McConnell, can’t hurt the SCF directly so he instead punishes vendors and conservative candidates. That pretty much answers the question of why we have so many RINOs who vote more with liberal Democrats than with traditional Republicans with conservative values as were bred in the patriots of Revolutionary days.
The SCF also charges in the Senate Update mentioned above, that “Not only has McConnell forced his party to support bailouts, debt limit increases, tax hikes, and funding for ObamaCare, he's now going to force it to abandon the free market and even freedom of speech. Here's what his Chief of Staff, Josh Holmes, told the New York Times:
"S.C.F. has been wandering around the country destroying the Republican Party like a drunk who tears up every bar they walk into.”
It is expected when we hear liberal Democrats, of the Socialist ilk, calling out and branding true conservative patriots with all-American values as terrorists or worse, but when the Senate Minority Leader’s Chief of Staff (Holmes) labels conservatives as like “drunks” tearing up bars, it is pretty reprehensible and totally uncalled for.
But it is, in my humble opinion, better than being charged with being disloyal to the true values of the Party and being called a RINO who betrays the conservative mantra and hands the Socialist liberal Democrats unearned victories.
Gerald A. “Jerry” McConnell, 92, of Hampton, died Sunday, February 19, 2017, at the Merrimack Valley Hospice House in Haverhill, Mass., surrounded by his loved ones. He was born May 27, 1924 in Altoona, Pa., the fifth son of the late John E. and Grace (Fletcher) McConnell.
