Are Social Conservatives as Orwellian as the Left?

Yesterday, speaking to Bill O’Reilly on his Fox News show, Ann Coulter talked about how she hated libertarians like Ron Paul, not because of the ninety percent of the cases where eliminating government was a good solution, but because of the remaining ten percent where she saw government as necessary and libertarians like Ron Paul don’t.

I could note here that a mixture of 90% mother’s milk and 10% cyanide would be 100% lethal to a baby — and that Ron Paul, himself, is only 90% libertarian compared to an agorist like me — but to avoid both analogies and grading libertarian purity on a curve, let me start with Ann Coulter’s first stated objection.

Ann Coulter hates that libertarians like Ron Paul don’t think the government should define the word “marriage.” She argued, albeit briefly, for the view that the consequences of replacing a uniform and traditional definition of marriage defined by law, with new definitions arrived at solely in the private sector, would have unknown consequences.

If Ann Coulter’s statement is a conservative meme — don’t allow freedom of choice because we don’t know what the consequences will be — then the mainstream political spectrum is nothing more than an argument between left-wingers who want social engineers to speed change and right-wingers who want social engineers to impede change.

Of course it isn’t that simple.

Et Tu, Southern Baptist Convention?

First, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff insists that not having Muslims in the military would be a greater tragedy than mass murder-by-public shooting. Then, an office of the Federal Reserve displays the rainbow flag in solidarity with the gay rights movement. And now, the nation's largest "conservative" religious denomination comes out on behalf of "paths to citizenship" for illegal immigrants. What more evidence could we possibly need that Cultural Marxism/Totalitarian Humanism is now the established ideology of American institutions? This is a particularly important question as the entire foundation of the Left's claim to authenticity is the notion that mainstream American society is a racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic conspiracy against against the roll call of the officially oppressed. Destroy the credibility of such claims in the eyes of the average person and the Left has zero legitimacy on which to stand.

Historian J. David Hacker has used modern research techniques to revise upward the number of "Civil War" dead, although like other historians, he insists on ignoring the 50,000 or so Southern civilian deaths, as documented by Jeffrey Rogers Hummel, among others. Most of the upward revision is the result of previously uncounted Confederate deaths, James McPherson is quoted as saying.

VERBATIM POST

The Market Ticker ®

Wow, man, let's just fire someone.

The Justice Department is expected to oust the head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, according to people familiar with the matter, amid a troubled federal antitrafficking operation that has grown into the agency's biggest scandal in nearly two decades.

This is outrageous.

Let me point out that should you or I provide a firearm to someone knowingly in violation of the law, we can be charged under 18 USC Section 2, which provides:

(a) Whoever commits an offense against the United States or aids, abets, counsels, commands, induces or procures its commission, is punishable as a principal.

(b) Whoever willfully causes an act to be done which if directly performed by him or another would be an offense against the United States, is punishable as a principal.

Therefore, if you aid or abet someone in the commission of the crime of unlawfully procuring a firearm, which is exactly what was done here, you can be charged as a principal in the underlying offense, which in this case ranges from a firearms crime all the way up to murder.

But we're just going to "fire" people..... right?

It must be nice to have the "Second Book of Law" available to you, but not to anyone in the common citizenry eh, which allows these people to commit felonies including murder that would result in a life prison sentence or even a capital sentence, were a "common person" to carry out the same crime.

And let's not kid ourselves folks - these were crimes.

There is no law when it does not apply equally to everyone; there is only "Divine Right of Kings", which according to our Constitution is a per-se violation of the law itself.
