2008: Spineless Candidates Need Not Apply.
February 16, 2007
Vox Populi

By John Longenecker

Among the qualifications for office for 2008 candidates is their being anatomically correct – they have to arrive with a backbone – and some of that impact and scope brings me to pundits and commentators. How candidates run for office can be the chest X-ray to confirm backbone before the election.

I like Bill O’Reilly, but oftentimes he shows one of the most objectionable habits when it comes to his observations and comments in support of conservative values: he’s even-handed. In fact, being even-handed is out of line for anyone advocating values and looking out for people. For Bill O’Reilly and for Rudy Giuliani, gun control is one such example.

When you’re going to be an advocate as part of your investigative journalism or political analysis – say, if he’s looking out for you (part of Bill’s end-of-show signature) – you can’t be even-handed. If you’re going to be any kind of an advocate thr
ough news analysis, you have to be partisan. It’s what people turn to you for. (And the opposition doesn’t need the recognition.)

Gun control reflects how the candidate or pundit sees the folks: sovereign authority or subjects? Many pundits and candidates share the opinion that guns should be regulated – the so-called sensible gun laws. Try sensible censorship and get back to me. Or, for Bill, try sensible child molestation – this is precisely what Man-Boy Love is advocating, sensible molestation laws. Different feel, isn’t it? Just plain wrong, isn’t it? Short sentences are examples of being even-handed. Sensible.

Compulsory social programs are many examples of compelled compliance or-else – many of which are based on a theory of violence which would be nowhere near the societal problem it is today if citizens weren’t discouraged from answering personal violence as they are in many major cities.

[No-fault divorce was claimed to be important to protecting women from abusive husbands. Today’s womens’ shelters are based on that same lie – pointing to violence as the necessity for more and more social programs. Gun control isn’t an answer to crime – it’s an investment strategy.]

Pundits and candidates too often forget the authority – not only rights, but authority – citizens have with which to meet and face down grave danger. Carrying a handgun is a right; self-defense is their sovereign authority to act on it without obtaining permission first, and it is purely the call of the citizen even to say whether they are in grave danger. They may have to prove it later – that is reasonable under our system – but regulation confiscates personal independence and transforms it into dependency on those who cannot ever fulfill protection. No one can take your place as the first line of defense. Not police, not regulation, not anyone.

In putting this further in the proper perspective, Bill and Rudy should be reminded that police have no duty to protect individuals. It’s not their job, and it is a fatal mistake for the average head of household to believe overly in police to the exclusion of their own lawful and effective actions. This is the threat of the Millennium: rhetoric backed by force one-sided force.

[As an advocate of the folks, one cannot be even-handed and support regulation on the honest when it is the citizen on whose authority lawmakers even operate. When a majority of states confirms concealed carry of weapons and more states are ratifying Stand Your Ground laws for the protection of their greatest assets – the productive citizen – then nationwide concealed carry of handguns is a rather obvious moral imperative no longer subject to opposing opinion.]

As I said, try sensible censorship and get back to me. Unless you like McCain-Feingold or maybe the Fairness Doctrine and what is to follow. Well, they’re only sensible restrictions on a civil right… You go first, Rudy.

In 2008, we don’t need even-handedness: even-handedness cost us the election.

This is the challenge to 2008 conservative candidates: be partisan. Boldly partisan.

Heard a good joke the other day. A contributor wanted to have his picture taken with the Governor. He’d donated often, he’d volunteered often and finally asked what it would take to get to stand with the Governor for a picture. One of the staffers suggested he could simply go to the Zoo.

“Why?” asked the constituent. “You’re not saying the Governor’s an animal…”

“No,” said the staffer, “But you can visit the zoo and have your pick of the litter in taking a picture with any Rino you like.”

comment: Some folks over at The Mountain are tryin to sell me on the idea that I need to vote Republican no matter even if it is a piece of shit like McCain or a Gun-Grabber like Guiliani..

HOMEY DON PLA DAT !!

Come election time, if The Republican Convention caint put up a Conservative Candidate the meets MY standards, then they will have to get the sunzabitch elected by themselves the best way they can, without any of my help..
