‘Unproductive’: FreedomWorks, Dick Armey part ways

Dec. 4, 2012 9:05am Eddie Scarry

Former Rep. Dick Armey has resigned as chairman of the grassroots conservative organization FreedomWorks.

He did so in an email sent to FreedomWorks CEO Matt Kibe on Friday.

“The top management team of FreedomWorks was taking a direction I thought was unproductive, and I thought it was time to move on with my life,” Armey told Mother Jones, which first reported the news. “At this point, I don’t want to get into the details. I just want to go on with my life.”

According to the email, Armey’s contract with the group terminates at the end of December.

From Armey’s email:

“Effective immediately I expect that Freedom Works shall remove my name, image, and signature from all its letters, print media, postings, web sites, videos, testimonials, endorsements, fund raising materials, and social media, including but not limited to Facebook and Twitter.”

Well, Dick really stuck it to them…sadly I’m finding myself in agreement with him because after all of Glenn’s success and a quarter-century of el Rushbo leading “republicans” the fact seems to be that most of America is going the other way.

I just want to get on with my life too, so my family is preparing for the future fall of the Constitution. I’m teaching my kids how to be good marksmen and survive in the third-world-future the takers are insuring for the makers….unless I win the lottery and can purchase an island, it’s time to follow Tim Leary (without the lsd) and drop out because conservative constitutionalists are now enemies f the State, and the State is being run by genuine thugs who will penalize any success achieved by its subjects.

If I remember correctly, FreedomWorks was set up to remove the old barriers between the voting class and the elected class was it not? This has been my question all along; Mr. Armey was a part of the problem in the GOP while in office, and to me, seemed as if he was using FreedomWorks as a sort of ‘Get Out of Jail Free’ card, to absolve himself of past political indescretions. I just thought it was an ‘Odd Couple’ fit from the get-go. Maybe now, Mr. Kibe and the organization can move forward, and rid Congress of the vampires, leeches and old guard bloodsuckers out of the Republican Party.

Lets talk about detail Mr. Army. Lets talk about being productive. Lets talk about finding representation ourside of the 2-party system and making them popular. 4 years after 2008, most local TEA parties, and freedom works—-let obama get elected again, along with many other lower level “representation”, like the election of 2010 never hapened. Nobody in my local area knows who the local TEA party is, and nobody outside of Conservative talk radio knows who freedom works is.

There is one fact about results,—they show how productive you really are.
