RSSSenator Bunning Just A Moderate Socialist In Conservative Clothing
J.J. Jackson | March 4, 2010
Senator Jim Bunning is being hailed as a hero by some for his recent actions in trying to hold up an extension of unemployment benefits because the terms of PAYGO (pay-as-you-go) were not being met despite all the fanfare liberals heaped upon themselves for putting forth such a measure. Too many conservatives are singing his praises in a sickening chorus. The man still supports the unconstitutional spending of federal money on unemployment however. But that is lost in talk about his strong “fiscal conservative” actions.
This is, if you ask me, like praising Hitler because he built great roads (albeit with slave labor) or giving Mussolini a pat on the back for making the trains run on time. And it shows a serious problem that is rampant within the conservative movement and even some of the more popular right wing radio hosts who have not had enough good things to say about Mr. Bunning as of late. But just like with Scott Brown where too many in the American Center, often misrepresented as the American Right, could not praise him fast enough simply because of his pledge to be the 41st vote against Obamacare they ignore the truth behind the mask. Scott Brown, I warned, would not be a paragon of virtue day in and day out that Americans could be proud of and I was lambasted for it by those blinded by his pledge on a single issue. I was, of course, proven right about him being a typical north east Republican when he voted in favor of the mislabeled “jobs bill” which was nothing more than a hodgepodge of unconstitutional acts and federal spending. Gee, I have not heard too much from the diehard Scott Brown supporters since that little event and the facade being dropped. The least all of you could do is apologize and admit I was right.
Granted Mr. Brown will no doubt be more in the mold of Mitt Romney than Olympia Snowe but he is still a left leaning, government solution seeking Republican.
Senator Bunning is the same way. He is being praised for his stance but the reasons behind his stance are not entirely good. Sure he wants to pay for programs as we go along which is virtuous. But it is not virtuous to pay for unconstitutional programs and violate the limited powers delegated to our Congress in any manner; pay-as-you-go or otherwise.
You might as well be saying that Stalin was great because he helped beat back the NAZIs. But in doing so you overlook how hideous he was towards his own people and how he quashed their liberty to cement his power.
Praise Senator Bunning if you like. But he is nothing more than, at best, a moderate socialist which you are trying to wrap up in conservative clothing.
