Republican conservatives and libertarians keep fighting\u00a0each other, and shooting\u00a0each other\u00a0in the foot while RINOS remain solidly in control of the Republican Party. If we are not careful that is the still the way it is\u00a0going to be in four years.\u00a0How\u00a0does that sound for a winning political strategy in 2014? <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">We should\u00a0all just agree to\u00a0stop shouting at each other and shooting each other in the foot. We should also try to stop blowing up useful bridges with\u00a0our shortsighted policy of mutually assured destruction. We must recognize that we need each other in order to defeat our common political enemy, i.e.\u00a0progressive Democrats. We need to make a grand strategic alliance of sufficient proportions in order\u00a0to unseat the ruling RINOS in the Republican Party\u00a0first, so that if we actually do beat the Democrats in 2014 and 2016, our overall victories will actually mean something in the end. Our battle is not with Democrats right now. Our battle is with members of our own political Party! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For the next year we must do everything in our power to defeat the liberal Republicans in control of our Party so that we can actually run real conservative candidates in the midterm elections. We can settle the philosophical and ideological rivalries\u00a0that divide\u00a0us later after we have prevented our country from going over the freedom cliff from which there is no hope of\u00a0returning. \u00a0If we fail to understand\u00a0the consequence of our inability to build a bridge between our two factions than it means the certain end of\u00a0freedom in America,\u00a0and neither of our two sides has any hope of regaining control of this stampeding pack of RINOS who are marching our Party and our Country right over the freedom cliff.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">In order to construct a bridge to somewhere from a position of nowhere there must first be a foundation upon which to build it. My belief is that this framework already exists. It is our shared belief in God\u2018s redeeming grace. Christian conservatives and libertarians already have that in common. On this foundation we can erect a sufficiently sturdy framework of political cooperation upon which to restore our Constitution and our Republic!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Of necessity we will have to exclude some whose secular beliefs prohibit them from ever having the\u00a0simple faith\u00a0the size of a\u00a0grain of mustard seed. That will undoubtedly include many young libertarians who are either atheists or agnostics. Many of these young \u201ctwenty-somethings\u201d are fervent admirers of Ron Paul. They are\u00a0 young members of the Ron Paul Revolution, or the idealistic supporters of his Campaign for Liberty. They are young secular humanists who live in a place where no bridges are possible, and where no welcoming hand can ever be extended because these people are haters. They hate Jews. They hate Israel. And they hate the Bible! They hurl names and epithets at anyone with whom they disagree, especially at conservatives who thoughtfully decided to vote for Mitt Romney in the last General Election. Many of these young \u201cknow it alls\u201d get their news and information from the most un-reliable sources like Russian newspapers or T.V. We need to build a bridge to libertarians, not a bridge to Lenningrad for Pete&#8217;s sake!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Unfortunately these young secular humanists make up a large part of the Libertarian Movement, and they cannot be included in any possible bridge between Christian conservatives and libertarians. There is no earthly bridge that can\u00a0connect light\u00a0and darkness. As long as there is darkness in their world there is no possibility of light ever entering in. But once light enters, then their darkness is dispelled. So until that happens there cannot be a bridge\u00a0connecting people of faith and secular humanists. If the majority of conservatives and libertarians understand this, then we can work together to save our beloved country,\u00a0but\u00a0we must hurry because there isn&#8217;t a moment to lose in this critical\u00a0battle\u00a0for the future\u00a0of America! <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Select Related Articles<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lessgovisthebestgov.com\/Republican-Party-conservative-libertarian-bridge.html\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">http:\/\/www.lessgovisthebestgov.com\/Republican-Party-conservative-libertarian-bridge.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lessgovisthebestgov.com\/national.html\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">http:\/\/www.lessgovisthebestgov.com\/national.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lessgovisthebestgov.com\/American-politics-political-pandering.html\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">http:\/\/www.lessgovisthebestgov.com\/American-politics-political-pandering.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lessgovisthebestgov.com\/counterfeit-conservatives-Gingrich-Romney.html\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">http:\/\/www.lessgovisthebestgov.com\/counterfeit-conservatives-Gingrich-Romney.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/rinos-rule-a-bridge-to-somewhere-from-a-position-of-nowhere\/\" data-send=\"false\" data-layout=\"standard\" data-width=\"450\" show_faces=\"false\" data-action=\"like\" data-font=\"\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"125\" height=\"83\" src=\"https:\/\/lessgovisthebestgov.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/02\/Rand-Paul-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail-excerpt\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><p>RINOS still rule the Republican Party in spite of all the hard work and determination of the Tea Party.
