Have I not said this before? Have I not screamed “Don’t be a joiner” loudly or frequently enough? Well, looky here:
Ed Cox must resign.
He is a donkey in Elephant’s clothing.
It has been discovered that Cox, chairman of the New York Republican State Committee, sits on the board of “League of Conservation Voters” (“LCV”) — which controls a network of at least five PACs, all registered as liberal and attached to a broader national network of far left Super PACs, including the “Beat Trump Climate Unity Fund.”
The mission of these PACs is twofold: support Democratic and far-left politicians, such as “Squad” members Rashida Talib and Ayanna Pressley, and even Letitia James, Tom Suozzi, and Kirsten Gillibrand, who received thousands of dollars and were all endorsed by the Cox-backed PAC.
In addition to funding far-left candidates, LCV has supported Never Trump PACs, like the “Beat Trump Climate Unity Fund” in 2020, which had the goal “to raise money for the eventual presidential nominee who will face Trump in the 2020 general election.”
This is the Republican Party in the Northeast. Perhaps it’s different in other parts of the country, but so what? We’ve known for a while that the national apparatus is corrupt, animated almost entirely by money and the desire to retain the allegiance of its donors. Now we discover that the GOP chairman in the fourth largest state in the Union is part of the effort to keep Donald Trump, the most effective president of the post-World War II era and the most popular figure in America, out of the White House!
Do you begin to see the folly of looking to partisan politics for salvation? If not, what will it take to awaken you?
I’ve had high officials of the New York GOP tell me that I “belong” in the Republican Party. Why? “You’re passionate and eloquent, Fran. We need your energy.” But when I started to probe for what the New York GOP is willing to do…blank-out. It won’t campaign for educational vouchers. It won’t campaign for constitutional carry. It won’t campaign for a Proposition 13 for New York. It won’t campaign for cost-benefits analyses of proposed “environmental” laws and regulations. And it simply won’t touch the issue of abortion.
So why does anyone of a conservative bent think the GOP is “the place to be?”
There may not be much individual New Yorkers can do to advance our liberation from this increasingly tyrannical state, but at the very least we can stop supporting a party that does nothing but solicit donations from us with which to run covert liberals for our statewide offices. There’s simply no reason to think the top layer of the party will ever change.
Don’t bother counseling me to move. I can’t. And it chafes me more than words can say.

Well in my case, I realize in retrospect that what pried me out of Los Angeles was an ethical call of duty down to Florida.
I look at that now as one more case where a guardian angel intervened to save me from my own inclinations.
In my younger years I simply didn’t notice such savings. And now I recall more than a few.
I am supremely grateful to you for making more aware of events that cannot be explained simply by reason. May you receive a similar prod, one that provides you a way out you didn’t even know was there.
