Chris Christie: Not a Tough Guy, No Conservative — Not What America Needs

He instructs millions of traditionalist Americans, in other words, that, contrary to the holy book they cherish, biological science, common sense and millenia of history, sodomy is positively hunky-dory.

Call me one of the “crazies” he’s dismissively deplored in the past, but Governor “Pulls-No-Punches” would be better served training his moral hectoring on the anything-goes mob which never stops hollering about its libidinous obsessions.

God-and-Country-loving patriots must shut down, right now and unceremoniously if necessary,  this blowhard’s unprincipled career-climb. Toward clear-headed, decent people? Chris Christie has unambiguously outed himself a menace. At all costs, he must be kept away from 2016’s GOP presidential ticket.

Two weeks ago at the Republican National Committee’s summer meeting, a typically fanfaronading Christie boomed, “I’m in this business to win. For ideas to matter, we have to win.”

Which, obviously, sparks the question: Precisely what ideas, Governor? That absolutist sexual perversion is swell and families’ dearly preserved beliefs must give way before it? Ideas that will put America back on Constitutional track? Or only those that’ll appease the rainbow-mafia (and other Lefty lobbies), keeping the skids greased for your shot at the nation’s top spot?

The superficial he-man bit won’t cut it, any longer. Required, instead? Authentic statesmen, leaders of last-man-standing timbre, willing to risk personal popularity to turn around the nation. Come January 2017, whoever assumes the seat behind the Resolute Desk will also , immediately, be bequeathed daunting and entrenched crises involving the economy, national security, and a demoralizing bevy of lit-fuse social issues.

Tested by all that? Cosmetic chutzpah, the mere window-dressing variety, will wither everytime.

Conservatives have grown abusively accustomed to like-minded candidates making all the requisite red-white-and-blue noises on the stump, then quickly losing track of their scruples when they actually land in DC. A cynical phony like Chris Christie, garishly collapsing before even officially declaring for the Big-Show, makes choosing easier for patriots. For the past five years, America has been helmed by a smooth-talking, sometimes malign, sometimes clueless weakling with a (D) after his name. Simply replacing him with a blustering, stylistically coarser weakling, this time identified by an (R), won’t change much of anything.

Except this go-round, the packaging will proclaim: “Tough Guy” – but only the packaging.
