A Loose Cannon

A year ago I wrote a piece warning you, my fine readers, 

about U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and her

off-the-wall political antics. Sadly, I must blog again about

this misguided politician's activities. Greene hasn't gotten 

any better, and NR has the goods on her. Believe me,  

the goods are anything but good.  

In the May 30 issue of NR there is a partial list of her 

"accomplishments" during her time in office as the House

representative for Georgia's 14th district. She has claimed

that the riot at the capitol on January 6, 2021 was really 

"an inside job" perpetrated by the Democrats to further

smear outgoing President Trump. Greene told Lou Dobbs

in an interview that joining the U.S. military was "like

throwing your life away." She spoke at the America First

Political Action Conference, which was a gathering of 

white nationalists and the brainchild of a Holocaust denier.

How about when she's at her job? According to NR, Greene

does not, I repeat does not, serve on any committees. 

She does no apparent legislative work. She has provided 

very poor constituent service. She has proven to be not a 

lightweight, but a flyweight as a House member and a 

political figure. NR has long been the white glove inspector 

of the conservative movement and the people involved in it,

especially office seekers and holders, as its founder 

William F. Buckley Jr. created it to be, as well as a magazine

of conservative thought and opinion. And here NR has  

discovered a lulu!

NR realizes, as do the vast majority of Republicans and 

conservatives, that in order to retake both chambers of Congress,

we all must make a concerted effort to put our best foot forward

so as to get voters to see that we present a strong and viable 

alternative to our Democrat foes. Rep. Greene is a wobbly foot

which would cause us to stumble out of the starting blocks. 

However, a remedy is close at hand. Although Greene's 

district is too conservative for her to face a serious 

Democrat challenger in the general election, she will 

be facing a Republican primary opponent, Jennifer

Strahan, a health-care entrepreneur who is running on 

a pledge to serve the needs of the district rather than 

act like a lunatic. I don't know the date for their primary, 

but when the day comes may the Republicans of Georgia's

14th district give Greene the boot and give Strahan

the nod.
