Political Whores

Friday, April 8th, 2005

Wow, there is nothing more I have to say after this flurry of activity on both sides of the CRNC race than… the College Republicans are a total mess.

CR Vets For Truth… hatchet job. Nothing more can be said of this piece other than it shows how bad things are for everyone in the CRs. People really do decide who they vote on by who will give them the most, whether a spot on the ticket, block grants, etc. A lot of votes in this election will be decided by the CRs political hacktocracy.

In the end this race is about this bull and this terribly unethical ripoff scheme. I think Davidson has a good shot at this and is running neck and neck but if in the end Gourley wins then the CRs are more worthless and the leaders more souless than even I could imagine. Tis a dark day for our movement, common sense may still win but the power of the careerists and souless leaders who care not for ethics and morality is still very strong …

CLARIFICATION: I am sorry if this came across this way but I am not calling all Gourley supporters political whores, I am calling those that are deciding who to support on this race based on who gives them the best political perks as political whores. If you get perks because of your good support that’s one thing but if you give support to get perks that is political whorism.

Ownership, An American Tradition

Friday, April 8th, 2005

Herman Cain wrote an excellent article for Human Events on ownership as an unalienable right. Ownership is one of the things that make America unique. While talking with a Chinese foreign exchange student yesterday, I was amazed at his inability to comprehend or understand individual ownership or private property. Ownership is something so simple and basic, and yet it determines the destinies of nations and the plight of people everywhere. Cain ties this into the Social Security issue and makes some really good points.

“Our Founding Fathers envisioned a society that valued and rewarded ownership and individual achievement. Ownership is as much an unalienable right as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, because they are all endowed by our Creator. Just as the pursuit of happiness is not possible without liberty, liberty is not possible without ownership of one’s time, talent and treasure. To argue otherwise would be illogical.” Click to continue »
