Most of the top incoming House committee chairmen reflect the values of Democrat voters more than Republican voters. That is the legacy of Kevin McCarthy-era leadership. It\u2019s time for that to change, and it\u2019s time to end the \u201cnext in line\u201d country club politics of the GOP.<\/p>\n
Mouthpieces for the failed GOP leadership are complaining that the fight for speaker is delaying potentially for a few days the amazing committee work they have planned. But with committee chairs like the ones lined up at present, it sure is worth spending a few days doing surgery on the gangrene globalists within the party rather than spending the next two years with chairmen who hate their base more than Biden does. It\u2019s worth the time to ensure that we don\u2019t wind up with the same chairmen we dealt with during the last GOP\u00a0majority, when McCarthy was floor leader<\/a>.<\/p>\n When Democrats select committee chairs, they choose members who not only fought in the trenches for every leftist cause, but who are particularly intrepid in advancing their agenda on the relevant subject matter under the jurisdiction of said committee. Picture Rosa DeLauro, Adam Smith, Maxine Waters, Jerry Nadler, and Adam Schiff. There was not a single Democrat chair who was moderate on a single issue. These people made most of the chairmen during Pelosi\u2019s first tenure as speaker in 2007 seem like Barry Goldwater.<\/p>\n Republicans, on the other hand, choose people who thwart their conservative base on most issues, particularly those issues over which they will take charge as committee chairs. Let us take a tour of the new GOP House majority and examine the amazing fighters they have slated for committee chairs.<\/p>\n The Energy and Commerce Committee is considered one of the most powerful committees in economic and domestic policy. One would expect the rising chairman to be the most articulate foe of the global warming and green energy agenda. Instead, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who has a 60% Liberty Score, is the quintessential fusionist who likes to validate the global warming agenda and the need for green energy while merely opposing the most extreme measures of transitioning too quickly.<\/p>\n “I’m still learning,”\u00a0McMorris Rodgers recently told<\/a>\u00a0a climate fascist activist who asked about her position on global warming. “I think (any regulation) needs to be smart. I think it’s important to recognize we brought down carbon emissions.”<\/p>\n Exactly the \u201cconservative\u201d way of doing COVID, the \u201cconservative\u201d way of doing illegal immigration, the \u201cconservative\u201d way of doing Ukraine money laundering \u2013 always accepting the premise, parlance, and policies of the left as the starting point.<\/p>\n Applying Newton\u2019s laws of motion to politics, this is not exactly the sort of equal and opposing force that is going to stop the green energy agenda, which is the biggest threat to our life, liberty, and property. This is not exactly someone who will end all green energy subsidies and global warming mandates. In her opening remarks at a subcommittee hearing last year, she perfectly summarized the limp GOP \u201cagree to the premise\u201d strategy that has helped destroy workable energy in this country for years. \u201cWe need a smart approach \u2014 rooted in reality \u2014 to secure a cleaner energy future,\u201d\u00a0she said<\/a>. Just like with COVID, McMorris Rodgers believes we need to achieve the leftist agenda from the leftist premise, just more thoughtfully and efficiently. This is a core value of the Republican Governance Group (the RINO equivalent of the Freedom Caucus), of which she is a member.<\/p>\n
