Entry: A response to Matthew Roberts Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/a_response_to_matthew_roberts#24571 Post contents: Chuck Baldwin is a solid Christian conservative, hostile to the increasingly marginalized and statist Christian Zionist Right and Neocons. He is likely to draw large numbers of non-Zionist Christian conservative voters disenchanted with McCain, who still remember his “agents of intolerance” crack, which is the political equivalent of Obama’s “clinging” blunder. Chuck Baldwin also has populist appeal, and is regularly featured on the hugely popular and populist Rense.com. When Bob Barr announced he might run as a Libertarian, Sean Hannity interviewed him and became visibly angry at the prospect of him taking votes on the Right from McCain, but I think the Neocons have more to fear from a Baldwin candidacy. In fact, it’s not too far-fetched to see a nearly wholesale Christian desertion of McCain for Baldwin. Also, Kari’s point that “there is an underlying connection between libertarianism/ traditional conservatism and Christianity” is a good one, even more so because it is the two-party system that is sabotaging initiatives like school vouchers that could be used to restore Christian/Western civilizational values. More and more populists, conservatives, Christians and libertarians correctly view the federal government Leviathan as hostile to their interests, values and cultural traditions in the same way that the Soviet government was hostile to the custom and interests of Russian people. Of course, this is anathema to the Marxists, Neocons and Capitalists who each want to use the Leviathan for their own selfish internationalist purposes, America and Americans be damned. Chuck Baldwin’s articulateness and experience at the pulpit makes him a good prospect to convey all of this on a mass scale. Sent at: 2008 09 08
