NARAL, anti-Roberts, Daschle, and Johnson

During the 2004 campaign, Daschle couldn't avoid the issue of work he did for NARAL and Emily's List. He even refused to answer a reporter's question about whether he was pro-choice and, in the process, confirmed the criticism that he...
NARAL Communications Chief Resigns

From NewsMax: Just 24 hours after last Thursday night's announcement that an anti-John G. Roberts ad was being pulled from the airwaves, David E. Seldin, NARAL's communications director, sent an e-mail to friends saying that he was leaving his job,...
Let the RINO Hunt Begin!

Mainstreamers have lost their way

A couple of opEds from the RC Journal here and here express some thoughts similar to a comment the Chief posted a while back on the same topic. Akers' double-barrel blast was especially on target in a number of respects.

Moderates accommodate evil (the mainstream coalition advocates "tolerance and compassion for all"). They avoid decisions. Whenever you hear a politician say we have to let the courts decide issues like abortion and gay marriage, you're listening to a moderate. Prior to the Iraq war and World War II, moderates sought to avoid decisions by giving sanctions or diplomacy more time to work.
The Mainstream Coalition was about as bold as you'd expect a bunch of moderates to be in crafting their list their principles. They're for human rights, religious freedom and quality education, against saying mean things about homosexuals and racial minorities, against candidates who lie about their beliefs, and against requiring office-holders to belong to a particular religion. This would only matter if anyone with power or influence were taking the opposite position on these things, and none are.
The Mainstreamers should add a little to their statement that a quality education is the cornerstone of freedom and democracy. Along with quality education, you need guns, a constitution, ammunition, private property, citizens who know how to use guns, judges who follow the constitution, gun factories and a separation of powers. And maybe a few more guns. You need one more thing. A moral population. A religious citizenry.

On target!

As far as the virtues of "moderation" go, two thoughts:
(1) Moderation in defense of freedom is no virtue, extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. (Goldwater)
(2) ref: Revelation 3:16.
