THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.”-George Orwell

This video of Chris Christie talking to the editorial board of the Des Moines Register is absolutely disgraceful.
First,
Christie boasts that he is proud to have signed a billthat deprives
New Jerseyans who end up on the "terror watch list" of their Second
Amendment rights. And then - as casually as can be - he concedes that
there are no due process protections for those who have been affected.
Worse,
Christie demonstrates that he "understands" how widespread the problems
with the systems are, but indicates that he doesn't especially care.
Having cited the bizarre case of Fox's Stephen Hayes, Christie admits
that "from what I understand, it is a very, very difficult thing to be
able to work your way off of it." It should, he suggests, be "easier."
And
yet, when asked whether he thinks his endorsement of the bill was a
mistake, Christie flatly says "no." Of course there will be people who
are unfairly punished, he proposes. But that that is not a good reason
to limit the government's power.
Naturally, I disagree - and
strongly. We are talking here, remember, about an enumerated
constitutional right. In fact, we are talking about two enumerated
constitutional rights: the right to due process and the right to keep
and bear arms.
If Chris Christie believes that the unfounded suspicions
of the executive branch should trump those protections, that is his
prerogative. But those voting in the upcoming primaries should think
long and hard about whether they agree with him.
Do we really want to put a man with this attitude in the Oval Office of the White House?
