| RINO-hunting, the long-popular political sport that morphed in 2008 into a sort of hysteria-driven obsession, lately has become a suicide mission. RINO, of course, refers to Republicans In Name Only and is the pejorative term used against those who fail to march in lockstep with the so-called conservative base. I used “so-called” because, though the hard-right faction of the party tends to be viewed as The Base, this isn’t necessarily so. My guess is there are now more RINOs than those who, though evangelical in their zeal, are poison to their party’s ability to win national elections.

Comments: Kathleen Parker calls for the ´unapologetically sane´ republicans to re-assert themselves in a party taken over by the fringe.

There you go, RHINOs, listen to the lefty journalists - your soul mates. Great advice!!! She really has your best interests at heart.
I´m for anything that will hasten your demise.

Kathleen Parker, I fell in love with your posts years ago. I don´t know what caused you to start down the dark path, accommodating Liberal swine, but you have far traveled that road.
Conservatives do not need to compromise with Liberals in the least. Liberals are empty people in empty suits. It is the Hollywood Media machine we need to defeat. The machine is devoid of emotion. It´s sole purpose is to defeat and destroy Conservatives. Never give in to this evil. Fight it every day.

This really needed saying. Republicans need to appeal to the majority of voters and you won´t do so going around acting like a bunch of rabid dogs.
Now aged 82, I have been a Republican since 1968 and proud of it. It is the party of reason, and we shouldn´t run from that. Reason attracts more adherents than rabid, and can win more elections. We should eschew people with a death wish who want to drag us down with them on some imagined principle, and become a big tent again.
As to those who want to go down with some mythical ship, let them bay at the moon on their own dime.

Has anyone heard ANY statements from Republican Party Leaders about the ever increasing division in the Republican Party? I have read opinions on boards and heard pundits and such, but I simply have not seen Preibus or any elected members address this bloodbath.

If Republicans become the same as Democrats what´s the point? That is what these people like Parker want. Why don´t they just become Democrats? They are trying to take away any reason to vote for them.

What we need is to have is The American Party.

Oh, wait.
Nevermind ...

And we´d rather go down fightin´ than get dragged down into Marxism.

The RINOs can have the GOP. Anyone with true conservative values and a spine, left the GOP years ago. As "independents" we may be wandering in the political wilderness, but at least we haven´t prostituted our core values.

´´RINOS?´´ ...Actually, a statist is a, ´´statist,´´ regardless of party affiliation, which is why there is hardly any difference between how they vote as elected officials. The current problem in the GOP is that vote for a RINO might as well be a vote for a bonified 1960´s/2013 radical lefty/lib/dem pol as the resulting statist policies are simpatico.
Mark Levin´s best seller, ´´Liberty and Tyranny,´´ explains statism and so is a definitive must read.

Yes, Rino´s do indeed own the Repub party with all the losses they rack up. Rino´w rule is the true object of all Democrats, moderates, and leftwingers. Only one small group and growing smaller is left to bemoan the end of our country´s sovereignty. And, we get blamed for all defeats, no matter how we vote. We vote for Dole, McCain and Romney and yet it is our fault the Repubs are losers. Typical of the mentality of liberals, moderates and Tea Party haters.

Renowned author Dan Brown woke up in his luxurious four-poster bed in his expensive $10 million house – and immediately he felt angry. (snip) The critics said his writing was clumsy, ungrammatical, repetitive and repetitive. They said it was full of unnecessary tautology. They said his prose was swamped in a sea of mixed metaphors. For some reason they found something funny in sentences such as “His eyes went white, like a shark about to attack.”

Mark Sanford has won the South Carolina special election in a competitive race for what in normal circumstances is a safe Republican seat. The former governor beat Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of comedian Stephen Colbert Busch, for the state’s 1st congressional district. The AP called the race for Sanford early in the evening, with the Republican leading Colbert Busch 54 percent 46 percent.

Most countries in the world have irrelevant numbers of "immigrants." In the Americas, for example, only Canada, America, and the British West Indies have significant non-native populations. In Mexico, immigrants account for 0.6 percent of the population, and that generally negligible level prevails all the way down through Latin America until you hit a blip of 1.4 percent with Chile and 3.8 percent in Argentina. (Snip) But profound sweeping demographic transformation through immigration is a phenomenon only of the western world in the modern era, and even there America leads the way.

Shortly after Barack Obama finished his press conference after Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’s dramatic apprehension last night, a Russian newspaper reported that the president did not mention the “Russian footprint” in his address. (Snip) “Putin has repeatedly said there is no such thing as our terrorists and somebody else’s,” Peskov said. “One must not differentiate between them, deal with some and condemn others. They all deserve the same approach, the same rejection.” This was a reference to America’s vocal defense of the Chechen separatists in the 1990s

As is now traditional in these stories, we’re now being told that the Brothers Tsarnaev are merely the latest card-carrying members of Local 473 of the Amalgamated Union of Lone Wolves. No broader pattern can be discerned, or should be discerned. All jihad is local. Nobody could have seen this coming: Boston bombing suspects Tamerlan, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev appeared to lead normal lives If by “normal lives”, you mean reported to the US Government by a major foreign power as possible terrorists, interviewed by the FBI, had your citizenship application put on hold, and cheerily posting a series of videos

Mahatma Gandhi is quoted in his book, Gandhi: The Power of Pacifism, by Catherine Clement, as follows: While Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsees and Jews, along with several million adherents of an animistic religion, all coexisted in relative harmony, one religion that would not accept compromise stood out from the rest: Islam. Gandhi was referring to the experience during his lifetime in the Indian sub-continent, but the growth of Wahhabism and the current resurgence in Islamic triumphalism since Gandhi´s death in January 1948 now poses an increasingly existential threat to the West,

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care
