Four years of solid conservative leadership and reform. That's what Congressman Jim Bridenstine has provided to America and Oklahoma's 1st Congressional district. Every fundamental promise of reform has become Bridenstine's operational policy of representation. The strong policy of fiscal responsibility is completely matched with a long journal of congressional votes. Jim has fearlessly taken on the hypocrisy of many Republicans in congress as well as the leftists who would bankrupt our economy and culture. And now, after rooting out the Boehner deceit and deficit funding machine; former Speaker John Boehner has developed a PAC whose prime objective is to defeat men like Jim Bridenstine. Reports estimate that the people backing his principal opponent have already spent over a million dollars in campaign efforts. Most of that money is from out of state special interests whom Bridenstine twarted from their goals. And now, most of the other Oklahoma delegation is humiliated by being exposed for their deficit spending and propping up Obamacare. Only one man in our state delegation has kept his campaign promises. That man is Jim Bridenstine. |

Fox News reported that Mr. Johnson then “unceremoniously chucked it in the garbage can.” News of the incident started as a rumor on social media before both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Petersen confirmed it to Fox News Wednesday. Joe Hunter, communications director for the Johnson campaign, said the former New Mexico governor was “frustrated.” “That’s why he tossed the gun,” Mr. Hunter told Fox News. “He wishes he hadn’t. He’s sorry he did it and that it has become an issue.” He said Mr. Johnson was angry that almost immediately after giving him the pistol, Mr. Petersen started slamming Mr. Johnson’s running mate, former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld.
“That was very frustrating to Governor Johnson,” Mr. Hunter said. “And what he did with the gun was pure frustration.”

My Response:
I think the whole "non aggression" mindset seems so romantic to many of them and they conclude that evil and aggression will just go away if "we" just set a good example. The Non Aggression Principle is a very solid and consistent teaching of a Judeo Christian worldview, as well as a political principle advocated by Mahatma Gandhi and Rev. Martin Luther King jr.. It advocates a respect for other's lives, freedom, & property. But we should never make the foolish presumption that if we adhere to the principle, then all the world will do the same. The classic faiths of the world have all been bastardized at times by some tyrants, to exploit a popular faith in their own lust for power & control. Right now we see a sect of Islam doing this, but there are also very dangerous Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, and Christians; who have and would again seek to dominate others. They will twist portions of their holy texts, to justify their evil designs.
In Dinesh D'Souza's documentary, "America"; he points out that all of human history demonstrates that the world has been perpetually dominated by the rule of conquest. The mightier and more oppressive have always occupied the territory they desired.
But this is perhaps where some folks' Libertarian philosophy transcends into a religious creed. The adherents of Libertarian Non-Aggression feel they need to be true to non-aggression as a sort of "turn the other cheek" act of faith and obedience. But Judeo Christian doctrines have always taught national vigilance as well; to defend and protect, knowing that evil will always exist in this world. I think we've seen the zenith of US domination. The pendulum may be swinging back and it may take some painful losses in order to shake the spiritual Libertarians into reality. But it may also lead to a much more dire consequence for most or all of our republic. Many thoughtful Libertarians do believe that a nation should keep sentries at the borders and fully monitor who and what is coming in.
Some 90 years ago, President Calvin Coolidge gave a chilling caution about the growing power of federal government. Addressing the College of William and Mary, in Williamsburg, Virginia on May 15, 1926; Coolidge called upon the the alumni and graduates of Thomas Jefferson's alma matre, for the sake of the republic's future. Here is an excerpt of that message. |
