The Texas House member just announced on Fox & Friends that he's challenging Boehner for the Speaker position.
What a fine way to start the first full week of 2015.
He's the real deal. He understands that the notion of human-caused climate change is a fiction cooked up by totalitarians, and that ANWR drilling and the Keystone XL pipeline are no-brainers. He knows that the House can use the power of the purse to put the squelch on the Most Equal Comrade's illegal-alien-amnesty-by-executive-fiat maneuver. He understands that a society that exterminates millions of its fetal citizens is morally sick. He understands that an armed populace is a safe populace. He knows that jihadists have burrowed into post-America's security apparatus.
He'd make Freedom-Haters and Establishment Pubs alike howl.
Let's be prepared for someone with such an excruciatingly purist stance that the tiniest of deviations constitutes wholesale apostasy to howl from the other end of the spectrum. I can't imagine what such a person would find on Louie, but consider that Mark Levin thinks Trey Gowdy is a squish because he has spoken of the difficulty of removing longtime illegal aliens. Look, I do believe in litmus tests and deal-breakers, but I also believe that one can develop the skill of taking the measure of one's fellows, and accurately detecting the fire of a righteous vision. Trey has that - you can't watch the videos of him taking on the enemy in hearings on the IRS or Benghazi - or responding to a charge of racism - and conclude otherwise - but alas, he's not interested in running against Boehner.
So I will write, work and pray for the fearless Texan to take the gavel from the Reasonable Gentleman from Cincinnati.
