I know I’m in the enemy camp among a lot of Conservative circles, because I stand with the Freedom Caucus.
I would ask those circles what percentage of those in Washington D.C. are devoted to a 50-year plan to reverse the revolution your living through; the revolution towards Stateism. It’s zero.

The government can now force you to buy a product you don’t want, from a company you don’t like, for services you don’t need, at prices you can’t afford. It’s called health care.
I stand with the Freedom Caucus because they are standard bearers for small government.
Mike Pence says the new tax code is going to be much simpler. Great! But who is the professional Republican that is pointing to an ultimate change; who is carrying the flag for a fair tax? Who’s out there saying that those in Washington D.C. shouldn’t pay themselves first?
Who is standing up for those in the heartland; leading us towards actual Conservatism?
The left looks at things with the long view in mind. They have a 100-year plan. Why don’t Conservatives? We need a counter revolution because we are undergoing a liberal “velvet revolution.”
