On the Scale*

Last night Kathy Hutchinson was on Lawrence O’Donnell’s show. She’s the lady who at twenty six testified at the first impeahment inquiiry what she had witnessed as the aid to Mark Meadows then Chief of Staff to Donald Trump. She spoke about her conservative principles. I’ve always wondered what that meant. I looked it up by googling it. Lo and behold one of the first hits was Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, espousing his conservative principles. They are:
1. Individual Freedom,
2. Limited Government,
3. The Rule of Law,
4. Peace Through Strength,
5. Fiscal Responsibility,
6. Free Markets,
7. Human Dignity.
That’s it. As I read this all I could think about was, “Then why?”
If you’re for Individual Freedom then why do you want to restrict women’s freedom?
If you’re for Limited Government then why do you want to regulate what people do?
If you’re for The Rule of Law then why do you back a criminal?
If you’re for Peace Through Strength why do you hold up funds for Ukraine?
If you’re for Fiscal Responcibility why do Republicans always outspend Democrats and don’t pay for it.
If you’re for Free Markets why did you allow your Republican president to muck up the American farmers’ grain deals with China? Why are you letting your nominee espoiuse 100% tariffs on all imported goods?
If your for Human Dignity why are you letting women bleed out in prking lots and refusing them medical care?
I don’t understand the Core Values that are espoused. Is this what Ms Hutchinson is for? I don’t know. I mean it sounds good. In theory. But their actions are quite different.
It seems to me that their values are more: My Way or The Highway:
A. Women need to shut up and have babies.
B. We want to limit government helping people and let business scres over the people.
C. Rule of Law for you, We do what we want.
D. Let’s start wars on “the others.”
E. Fiscal Responsibility means you don’t spend money. We do.
F. Free markets means we want unregulated buisness to once again screw over people and give us kick backs.
G. Human Dignity – that’s White Christian Nationalism. Otherwise forget it.
Oh yeah. In other news there’s a 165 page complaint released by the judge that the Special Counsel had submitted outlining Trump’s criminal attempts to stay in office. There is now direct evidence that Trump directed and participated in these efforts.
Hey Mike! Talk to me about The Rule of Law.
