The entire Conservative movement is ecstatic over the latest Massachusetts poll numbers.  We have every right to be. Securing enough votes to block and filibuster the totalitarian trash coming out of this Congress is enough to make even the most cynical Republican a bit giddy.

But the election isn’t over yet.  More importantly, the November election isn’t over yet either.  And no, this is not another plea for more money or volunteers for Brown. (However I wouldn’t mind if you did!)

Instead, this is a plea that in our focus on the politics of this election, we not forget the overarching moral theory upon which our views are based.

We are not a “political party,” we are a group of idealists.  We reach agreements, but we do not compromise our morals.

That’s what lost us the 2008 election.

We are the true liberals. (Look it up or log onto www.isi.org and find the meaning of classical liberalism).  Our party is not built out of some convenient coalition, it is about upholding the moral value of individual rights and that is where we must continue to take our stand.

Whatever happens on Monday, we must press forward to preserve the morality of individual independence.

If Brown is elected the fight is not over.  We WILL have to fight to seat him.  The Democrats are already saying they will block seating him until after the healthcare vote.  (Should this happen, I would love to see how it would play out if a sympathetic law enforcement officer arrest Sen. Paul Kirk for “impersonating a Senator”. . . . . .just suggesting. . . . .).

Should we seat Brown, block the government seizure of healthcare and everything we wish for play out, the battle must still go on.

We must defeat the despicable attitude of people who knowing support the government seizure of healthcare.  This attitude must be replaced by the “virtue of selfishness” as Rand described it.  (Yes liberals, there’s a bit of tongue in cheek in that title).

Below is a copy of my latest reply to an entire facebook thread concerning healthcare.  Thought I’d share.

God bless guys.  Keep up the good fight.  Remember it is not just for what works but for what is right.

The increase in government regulation exactly mirrors the increase costs in healthcare. Government does not compete, it only dominates. That’s the nature of government. I’m completely sympathetic to high medical costs. I’m self employed so have nothing but catastrophe insurance. Barely that.

The real moral question is whether or not the government has the right to seize the assets of citizens through taxes and use them to support a healthcare public option. The morality of “taking care of each other” is a completely individual subject. Is a man who donates thousands to cancer research suddenly uncompassionate because he does not do the same for AIDS research? And what of the person who donates for the a friend’s medical bills? Is he or she immoral because that is the chosen charity rather than Sickle Cell Research?

There are practical concerns here. The public option is too expensive even by the most optimistic Democrat rubrics. It doesn’t even provide better healthcare for all. Practically it sounds good but completely fails.

Above all, the question is a moral one: What is the proper role of government? Is it to preserve it’s citizen’s rights and protect the people from outside compulsion? Or is it to restrict those rights and forcefully compel the citizenry to conform to whatever whim the elected powers toss their way.

This bill, in fact the entire Democrat agenda, has become one of constricting rights and forcing people to conform to their moral structure. This is a perversion of everything America was founded upon.
