Conservatives vs. RINOS, Real vs. Two-Faced (12/30/2022)
Two-faced people are some of the worst that exist. People who project one image and are something completely different behind the scenes.
I've been dealing with a lot of that lately. People I thought were friends, but decided to turn their backs on me for no apparent reason. Never lost any sleep over it, since I knew I wasn't at fault and could do nothing to change it.
Then I move down here to SC. A few months after I closed on my new home, I decided to get involved in the Horry County Republican Party, which is the largest one in the state. Started going to meetings, getting to know people, and yes, made a lot of new friends and loved what I was doing, because I was truly fighting for something. Most of these people are great patriots. But on the same token, there were several snakes in the grass as well.
I suppose I shouldn't have gotten involved in politics if I didn't want to meet my share of two-faced people. That much is on me, but I wouldn't change a thing about my own decisions. See, the party was (and is) run by a group of grass roots patriots that I identify fully with. They won an election at the county convention (before I joined) and did so cleanly.
Recently, it's come to light that, just like the left, several of these snakes in the grass could not accept the results of the election, and a coup was set in motion, almost immediately thereafter. This coup was led by none other than Reese Boyd III, who is not a true conservative and desires to move the party left. He formed a group called the GOP Pirates. (Side note: pirates were pilferers, murderers, and thieves.) They began having secret meetings and forming a shadow organization, much like Obama did when Trump was in office.
When the grass roots took over the party, most of these rino types that voted the other way refused to show up at meetings, and refused to support the party. Some of them did show up at meetings, for the purpose of causing chaos, constant disruptions, and an overall attempt to belittle party leadership in an attempt to make the leadership look like they couldn't control a meeting. And the left wing media? On their side, which really says it all.
These people need to be exposed, and they are. The problem, though, is that too many people are apathetic. Many will say "Eh, politics as usual," and brush it off. That's how these people stay in power nationwide. That's how Mitch McConell still has a job, one he is completely undeserving of. It's what Reese and his band of "Pirates" are counting on. They know they are in the wrong, and they don't care. They have the media on their side, as well as enough people being kept in the dark.
That's why it's so important to get involved and make a difference. I will not stop doing so, and I hope I can inspire more people to do the same. I began this post mentioning two-faced people and how they are some of the worst out there. Several of the rino group put posts up every day about what a great day it is, how to band together, etc. They even hide behind God. That's the image they want to project, but it's all smoke and mirrors. In reality, they are some of the meanest, lying, viscious, two-faced people you will ever meet.
I've chosen my friends carefully, and I've chosen wisely. If there's one thing I take pride in about myself, it's the fact that I'm always real. What you see is what you get. I could not live any other way. These people can, and that bothers me to no end. Until people start taking more of an interest, they will be able to continue abusing power.
