'As President, I Will Defend Americans Against the Moral Bullies'

Back when Al Gore was running for president in 2000 he had a line about “fighting for the people against the powerful.” It’s the standard line of the activist. No doubt it’s what the marginalized and dependent classes are looking for in a president. 

But if you are a responsible individual like me you find that sort of thing insulting. People of the Responsible Self don’t want some community organizer drilling them in a street protest; we just want a government that defends us from enemies foreign and domestic. 

Even as we speak, the indefatigable Michelle Malkin reports that all the best cities now have their own social justice magnet school. Really? America needs to encourage more kids to become social justice activists? I’d say a bigger need is magnet schools in every bland suburb to teach ordinary American kids how to defend themselves against the liberal bullies and the social-justice activists.

That’s why we need a leader, right now, ready to defend Americans against the social-justice activists. 

We need a presidential candidate saying: “As president, I will defend America against the moral bullies.”

When you think about it, it is a scandal that the leaders of the Republican Party appear to be utterly clueless about defending good honest conservatives from the liberal community activists and moral bullies. It’s no less a scandal because, as Alastair Roberts writes, the “empowered and privileged” activist getting outraged on behalf of people “supposed to be offended” is doing the easiest job in the world.
