Dryer says GOP establishment did an "excellent job in
killing [the Tea Party] movement" after 2010."..
1/12/14, "Ex-NFL Great Dryer: GOP Establishment Afraid MSM Will Call Them Bigots," Breitbart News, Tony Lee
"Fred Dryer, the former All-Pro NFL defensive end and Hollywood actor of shows like Hunter and Cheers, is furious at the Republican establishment for waging war against the Tea Party.
He sees the establishment as surrendering to the mainstream media and accepting its stereotypes about conservatives.
Appearing on Breitbart News Sunday on Sirius XM Patriot
channel 125 with Breitbart News Executive Chairman and host Stephen K.
Bannon, Dryer said it was the "dumbest thing" for the GOP establishment
to abandon constitutional principles when the country – and the
constitution – is center right.
He blasted GOP establishment honchos like Ed Gillespie for doing nothing but watering down conservative candidates.
"They put them through a series of washings to get all that
independent thinking out of there," Dryer said before emphasizing that
the "cowardice that is in the Republican Party today is only matched by
their myopic opinions of themselves."
Dryer said the Republican Party bosses want to be liked by The New York Times and have bought into and been "intimidated into believing" the notion
that, if they oppose liberal policies, they are "racist, sexist,
homophobe, those types of things." He said the establishment Republicans
have done an excellent job of institutionalizing "complete stupidity"
by adopting and abiding by various rules that "only weaken them" in
national elections.
To Dryer, this has been going on since President Ronald Reagan left
office. Dryer blasted the "neocons" aligned with President George H.W.
Bush, whom he accused of undermining everything Reagan was trying to
accomplish. Dryer even slammed Bush's "1000 points of light" speech as a
slam on Reagan's "shining city on a hill" rhetoric.* Dryer said that
since George H.W. Bush got elected president, Republicans have
progressively moved to the left because of "his people."
Dryer then lamented that America's youth are not taught civics
anymore, and he said that the only reason someone like President Barack
Obama can get elected twice is that people do not know anything about
the Constitution and "what kind of government they have."...
Dryer, who played college football at San Diego State during the
1960s, said he saw liberalism come up from the ground when it was a
nascent movement. He said it has turned into a "hideous beast" in the
last 50 years. He said the Tea Party in 2010 tapped into the desire of
Americans to restore the country to its founding principles and move it
away from that "hideous beast," and the movement's success shocked the
Republican establishment more than it did liberals.
Dryer said leaders on both sides, though, couldn't care less about
constitutionalism and Americanism, and want people like him to just die
and go away so there wouldn't be people who can impart institutional
knowledge to today's young people about what it means to be an American
and why the nation – and the Constitution – is exceptional.
He was particularly disappointed by the Republican establishment's
leaders, though. Dryer blamed them for doing an "excellent job in
killing [the Tea Party] movement" after 2010, and he said he wants to
see more people "step forward and articulate" a "strong constitutional
narrative."
Dryer, echoing Reagan, said freedom can be lost in a generation and
that Americans who do not understand the country's fundamental
principles are losing the country. He was upset that the Republican
establishment is doing nothing about it.
He said the establishment GOP is not setting the narrative and not
fighting for conservative values or even educating young people about
what it means to be an American or "what is happening to their country."" image, afp via breitbart. via Mark Levin show

*Bush #1's "kinder, gentler" rap was also a slam on Reagan suggested Mark Levin as he spoke with Dryer on his show Fri. night Feb. 28, 2014. Such slogans talk down, ie sabotage, the Republican Party, implying it's been mean and nasty all this time. Priceless since Bush turned around and put America in a Mideast war.
