The Problem With Nice Republicans - Politicrossing

By
Chris Widener

I like nice people. Nice people are, well, nice. It’s lovely to have a really nice neighbor who you can chat with and borrow a tool from every now and again. It’s great to have a group of really nice friends who care about you. Frankly, the world could use many more nice people. It certainly makes life more fun and enjoyable.
But there is a place where nice doesn’t always work. Yes, we should still be nice, but there’s also a place and a time in which we should not be nice. And this is my problem with nice Republicans.

I have some very dear friends, Friends that I would consider lifelong friends. They are Republicans. Some of them are even conservatives although most of them are what we would call moderate Republicans. I love them to death. I would do almost anything for them if they needed my help. But they have a fatal flaw. They are too nice.
When it comes to a political fight they fold. They are, frankly, just too nice. They want people to like them. They want to feel like we can all get along. They want to have unity, and usually the terms for the “unity” are determined by the Democrats. Don’t get me wrong, these nice Republicans are almost always on the Republican side of the debate. The problem is that the Democrats know that there are nice Republicans who are easily manipulated because of their kindness. They know that because of their kindness they will go along with almost anything if it means keeping the peace.

There’s an old Bible verse that I remember quite often. It says that we should “speak the truth in love.” Do you see the two aspects there? There is truth and there is love. One problem in much of America today is that there are those who focus almost entirely on truth with no love, and there are those who focused almost entirely on love and there is no cure for truth. Therein lies the problem for our nice Republican friends. They are all for the truth until things start to not be nice. As soon as those on the left begin to scream and yell at them, put them down, demean them, condescend them, and the like, our nice Republican friends forget the truth in order to keep the peace. The kick their “niceness” into overdrive.

Well, as important as nice is, truth is far more important. If I had to choose between truth and nice, I would pick truth. Truth is the foundation of everything that we do. One of the great problems in America today is that there is no absolute truth. You can say almost anything – even something completely ridiculous – and demand that others agree with you. And sometimes not only agree with you but demand that they approve of what you know to be an absolute lie and falsehood.

So this is for you, my nice Republican friends. I love that you were a nice person. We need more nice people in the world. But when push comes to shove and I need somebody to throw down with me, I need you to be on my side. I need you to be willing to fight for what is true.

I’ve asked a few of my nice Republican friends over the last nine months or so as I’ve seen them cave to one demand after another from the left, “Is there anything that makes you angry? Is there anything for which you would fight for?” Do you know what most of them say? Not really. Their primary goal is to be liked by being nice. Nice is their core value. The primary goal is to keep the peace. The problem is that the left knows that there are enough nice Republicans that if they scream loud enough and throw a big enough temper tantrum, that the nice Republicans, the ones who do not hold truth as the highest goal, will buckle and cave and go along with the Democrats.
So my challenge to you is this. Are you nice? That’s great. But are you willing to stand up for the truth in the face of confrontation from the left, those who seek to destroy our country? Or will you be so nice, so willing to go along, so willing to seek peace with the enemy, that they manipulate you to the point where you allow them to steal your country and destroy your children’s future?

Perhaps it is time to stop being so nice. At least when truth is on the line. We need you to fight and stop being so nice.

Sen. Josh Hawley Folds? Blames Trump for ‘Inflammatory, Irresponsible, Wrong’ Comments - Big League Politics

By
Shane Trejo

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) has been criticized for leading the GOP’s electoral college objection amidst widespread allegations of voter fraud, and he has responded by throwing former President Donald Trump under the bus.
HAWLEY: "I think ex-president's rhetoric on the day was inflammatory. I think it was irresponsible. I think it was wrong. But I think that this impeachment effort is, I mean, I think it's blatantly unconstitutional. It's a really really, really dangerous precedent."
