George Will says it is vanity to vote pro-life
I sometimes try to stomach “This Week with George Stephanoupolos” because I think it is important to keep up with the most public branches of the Clinton team.
During the Roundtable segment moments ago George Will said there is a “certain vanity in these so-called values voters.” He said everyone votes their values and that social conservatives aren’t as important as they think they are.
According to this position, NARAL members are to be viewed as “values voters,” as are pedophiles and rapists! Does that sound extreme? Apparently in today’s moral relativism driven society there is no extreme. That isn’t exactly true, social conservatives are viewed as extremists, or according to George Will: vain extremists that don’t matter.
Personally, I am inspired by Duncan Hunter in a way that I have never been before. (Disclaimer: I was 10 in 1980.) I will do all I can to help as many people as possible become aware of this great man. This does not mean that I am all or nothing in the general election, however. If the Right Choice isn’t nominated I may be able to cast a vote for a lesser candidate… unless that candidate doesn’t believe in protecting the most innocent of lives!
Arrogant “moderates” and others that don’t really care too much about this “little wedge issue” will deride our stance as foolish or unrealistic. Deride away. The concept is so simple and so basic that one can’t help but wonder what motivates those that oppose it. The abortion issue is literally a life or death issue! There is no room for moderation. We as a society have incredibly soft sentences for the most heinous of crimes, sentences seemingly designed to facilitate repeat offenses, yet we don’t seem to care about the slaughter of millions of innocent Americans.
What do you say we don’t let the media decide who we nominate? What do you say we make it as clear as possible that a man that has such an enormous flaw (thinking it should be legal to kill babies) can not be voted for by those who are concerned with protecting those babies.
For those who opine that refusing to vote for Rudy in the general is equivalent to voting for Hillary, I suggest to you that the same might be said for nominating a pro-choice candidate that is also extremely questionable at best on many other conservative issues!
Hi Sam,
Yeah, I’m really getting sick of those whiny moderates who are already starting in with the name calling of Christian Conservatives. The ball is in their field now, if they make sure Rudy is the GOP Candidate, then they may as well cast their vote for Hillary. I’m sick of playing their freaking game. I slugged it out over at HotAir with the lot of them last week — as did Tieki Rae.
Tammi,
It amazes me that I belong to a Yahoo group called Conservative Principles and Activism and the majority of its members would have us set principle aside to support the man the media designates as Hillary’s competition.
Yes. Fools they are. I think it’s cute how non-social conservatives think they can control how I vote by calling me names and attempting to manipulate me by telling me I may as well cast my vote for Hillary. I’m not some middle school girl who sways which ever way the peer pressure is being applied! Instead, I have some rock solid values to hold fast to.
