WND EXCLUSIVE
Can Republican Party save itself from destruction?
Richard
Viguerie, often called the “founding father of conservatism” for
his advances in direct-mail fundraising, is on a campaign to take
back the Republican Party from the “big government” advocates.
In
that pursuit, he has a new book, “Takeover:
The 100-Year War for the Soul of the GOP and How Conservatives Can
Finally Win It,” coming
out in just days.
Now
he’s being joined in his effort by a force powerful enough to turn
the tide in the 2010 elections and leave the U.S. House of
Representatives in the hands of Republicans, including many that
follow a conservative pathway.
That
would be the tea party, represented
here by Tea Party Patriots President Jenny Beth Martin, who wrote the
forward for Viguerie’s book.
She
explains that a “bitter political civil war” is happening now
that ultimately will determine whether America remains a
constitutional republic.
“The
modern version of this struggle is not between Democrats and
Republicans, but within the Republican Party itself,” she writes.
“It is a civil war between limited-government, constitutional
conservatives and the progressive, establishment wing of the GOP.
“And
make no mistake: the establishment wing of the Republican Party is
progressive, and has been ever since conservatives stymied Teddy
Roosevelt’s attempt to reclaim the Republican presidential
nomination in 1912 and make progressivism the governing philosophy of
the Republican Party.”
She
explains that Viguerie’s plan, outlined in “Takeover:
The 100-Year War for the Soul of the GOP and How Conservatives Can
Finally Win It,” is
a “plan for constitutional conservatives to take over the GOP so
that we may restore the liberty and opportunity that the Founders
intended and protect that great document, the United States
Constitution.”
She
continued, “The millions of Americans who are drawn to the tea
party movement understand that progressives in both the Democratic
and Republican Parties have usurped power and overrun the
Constitution. The Obama administration is the most extreme example of
progressive rule, but the road to where we are today was built with
the willing participation of establishment Republicans.”
The
door for restoration already is closing, Martin warns.
“Time
is running out, and if we fail in this task, our children,
grandchildren – our posterity — will never know the America for
which millions have sacrificed their labor, capital, lives, and
limbs. Unless the Republican Party fulfills its promise and becomes
the constitutional alternative to the progressives, I fear the
‘American experiment’ is over,” she said.
Viguerie, who
will be addressing the Heritage Foundation on April 11 in a streaming
event, reveals
that national polls show that the American people self-identify as
conservatives by a margin of 2 to 1 or more.
But
despite the many scandals surrounding the White House, the monumental
failure of the Obamacare rollout and the lack of leadership from
Congress, the Republican Party has failed to win key elections,
critics say, because it has failed to deliver on its promise to roll
back the tide of Big Government.
In
his book, Viguerie, who also is scheduled to appear April 9 with Lou
Dobbs on the Fox Business Network, offers a blueprint for how
liberty-loving, small-government conservatives can take back the
Republican Party.
“Every
day you read another story about [how] a candidate for the tea party
has embraced becoming the target of the entrenched Republican Party
leadership and mindset, and I believe my book offers a practical
outline for how principled conservatives can make the stand to
finally win this fight,” Viguerie told WND.
In “Takeover,” Viguerie
– who in the 1960s and 1970s pioneered the use of direct mail as a
means for conservatives to bypass the liberal media – dares to name
names when discussing the big-government Republicans waging the war
on the tea party movement and other advocates of limited government.
An
appendix to the book presents Viguerie’s view of those whose defeat
or abandonment “would advance the cause of conservative
governance.”
Viguerie
writes that Karl Rove “has grown wealthy by promoting the idea that
content-free campaigns, rather than conservative principles, are the
path to victory for the Republican Party.”
But
should the GOP be following the path of someone who had a record of
22 losses and nine wins in 2012, he asks.
Other
members of the “entrenched” GOP leadership, Viguerie says,
include Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, one-time vice presidential candidate Rep.
Paul Ryan and a man, Viguerie writes, who “seems to relish in
antagonizing conservatives,” Sen. John McCain.
Writes
Viguerie: “From criticizing conservative leaders to attacking the
principles of millions of conservative voters … McCain readily
trains his guns on his fellow Republicans while giving the Democrats
a pass. McCain’s frequent sallies against his fellow Republicans
earned him in January 2014 an unprecedented rebuke from the Arizona
Republican State Committee for his ‘long and terrible’ record of
voting with liberal Democrats.
“Despite
all this, he continues to be a favorite of the Republican
establishment,” said Viguerie.
My
comments:
The future of America hinges on whether or not she returns to God,
His Christ Jesus, His Word, His Covenant and His Commandments. Very
few politicians understand this; very few of those who claim the name
of Christ understand this. There is NOTHING political that is
divorced from the spiritual. All human action stands before the
Judgment of God Almighty.
The
Secular Humanists are out to CONVERT America into a godless, Secular
Humanist culture. The godless always fail, just as they have in all
preceding cultures and in the Days of Noah. Today, they are striving
with all their might to create a New Tower of Babel, One World Government. This effort includes Republicans as well as Democrats.
Scripture tells us they accomplish this for a moment and then God
begins His Great Tribulation which last for three and one-half years
and then Christ Jesus RETURNS and establishes His Kingdom on earth
for a thousand years.
