One of the primary reasons I want to see Moore elected is because all the right people hate and detest him, and i'm thinking that includes people like you.
Let me tell you something about a people like me:
I believe in freedom.
I believe in individual rights and responsibility.
I believe in a properly-construed
government---meaning, a government whose
sole legitimate business,
other than protecting and defending us from enemies actual and provably imminent from abroad and predators
(
real predators, please, not mere vicemongers), is to
stay the hell out of your business, my business,
everyone's business,
until or unless one would obstruct or abrogate another's equivalent rights.
I
disbelieve in the improperly-consecrated State under which we have lived long enough, the State that
makes everything its business whether it is competent or Constitutionally sanctioned to do so.
Just for the record, assuming by "the right people" you mean Democrats, it
isn't just Democrats who
found Moore deplorable before any accusations of sexual criminality came into the picture. I found him deplorable
on the grounds that he stood, when all was said and done, athwart Article VI, Section 3 of the Constitution of
the United States, and I was hardly the only one on the right who felt that way.
Until the accusations came forth, I suspect most on the right felt much the way William F. Buckley, Jr. did
before he dropped the gloves and went after Robert Welch and his acolytes: "I wish I could attack these
people without pleasing those I despise." If the accusations against Moore
do prove true, those
we profess to despise would be handed the political equivalent of the neutron bomb to detonate the
next time we take after those on
their side guilty of similar deviances.
