He needs to give us accurate definitions
"(Kepple) calls some people “ideologues...who are
bent on pursuit of a far right so-called 'Constitutional brand
of conservatism' who will go nowhere in Salem.”
Letter to the editor by George Warner, Klamath Falls, Herald and
News 10/18/16
Mr. Kepple, a
brand new Republican, says that if elected he “... will
uphold conservative values.”
Many say they
have conservative values, and we wonder what this means.
What are his “conservative values?”
He calls some
people “ideologues...who are bent on pursuit of a far right
so-called 'Constitutional brand of conservatism' who will go
nowhere in Salem.”
Does he believe
there is “non-Constitutional” conservatism? I wonder how his
conservative values differ from theirs?
I also wonder
about his definition of the “far-right” (or the far left, as
far as that goes). Does he find the Constitution to be an
old document, which should be brought up to date by using
the Supreme Court to bypass the amendment process still
required by the Constitution?
That seems to
be what the League of Women Voters is trying to do, relative
to the Electoral College. What is wrong with following the
original intent of those who wrote it?
Mr. Kepple
seems to more-or-less imply that he feels his opponent on
the Republican ticket would not have civil dialogue with the
Democrats in Salem, and won't make connections, (whatever
that means), which is silly.
From history,
one will find that very few, if any, of the signers of the
Constitution were concerned about “making connections”
anywhere. All of the founders paid dearly for their efforts
in creating the Constitution. Too many of them lost
everything.
They debated
for years before they came to agreement — and they came to
agree that they would only accept a government that was
limited by the document they drew up.
Our
Constitution is universally recognized as the greatest
document of government mankind ever created and we should
demand that whoever we send to Salem must recognize that
fact.
