‘The party’s merely the shell’

By Tom Chambers • 5:18 p.m. Feb. 28, 2009 • 3 Comments • 0 Trackbacks

If there isn’t a bigger argument for keeping kids out of public schools, I don’t know what is.

Jonathan Krohn, a 13-year-old author, spoke at CPAC and apparently blew the roof off the place. This home-schooled kid has a stronger grasp of conservatism than most Republican Party leaders — John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Arlen Spector, Michael Steele, et. al. would be wise to take some lessons from Krohn.

As Krohn said:

There were too many people who threw this term conservative around who didn’t understand what they were talking about. They didn’t understand what conservatism was. They didn’t understand conservatism as a base of principle, but they understood it as a base of policy.

Krohn’s got a book out, “Define Conservatism : For Past, Present and Future Generations,” and a blog. He’s what one of my former editors would call “scary smart.”

He defines conservatism as respect for the constitution, respect for life, less government and personal responsibility.

With the current conservative leadership falling flat, there may be hope for the future.

TAXATION BY AN INELIGIBLE PRESIDENT IS TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION.

NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE — WHO IS HE TO TAKE LAYERS AND LAYERS OF NEW TAXES FROM HARD WORKING AMERICANS?

Ted, the birth certificate thing is a bit worn out. Taxation without representation? America elected Obama — elections have consequences and we get what we ask for.

Tom, “worn out” you say? Even beyond the birth certificate, BHO is NOT an Article 2 “Natural Born Citizen” under the Constitution. Even were he a 14th Amendment “citizen”, his father being a Kenyan/British, not American, citizen on BHO’s birth disqualifies him. “Natural born citizen” is a unique contitutional prerequisite to be President under Article 2. It is NOT the same thing as being a full “citizen” under the 14th Amendment. BHO, who is a constitutional scholar, fully knows this.
