Yup, all of the above is part of the system the Left has created and the right pooh-poohs but allows to stand in the end. We've been saying there are two rule books a long time, one for them, one for everybody else...the one for everybody else is on the public books, the one for them states the one for everybody else doesn't apply to them...but that other book would NOT have existed had there been resistance to it, resistance in terms of no-limit retribution...but those are just more of the thousands of hills the Pubbies refuse to fight on.
Just like we cannot end the demonic scourge of Islam without first ridding ourselves of progressives at home, we cannot take on the progressives at home until we either take over the GOP from within (an abject failure thus far) or find a new vehicle to advance out cause while letting the GOP die on the vine. All of this subject of course to ticking time bombs in the economy, society and the world at large...but it doesn't mean it isn't worth the effort with the time we have left, consider it practice for future endeavors.
