The Distributist Review Talks Common Sense

To wit:

I have wanted to write on the mess that is the GOP primary for some time, but have waited to see how certain things will play out. My thoughts are hardly any different from three or four months ago, and I feel more confirmed in my Independent status and my general loathing of our system.

In the first place, we hear the same rhetoric from Catholics and social conservatives, namely, our elections revolve around abortion to the exclusion of all else and, therefore, we should swallow all worries and accept the lesser of two evils. This thought is fundamentally opposed not only to prudence, but to common sense as well. One cannot accomplish one’s goals by ignoring pressing issues that underpin or even cause the main fault at issue. All one does is band-aid them. Moreover, to consistently “support the lesser of two evils” is to encourage the status quo.

Abortion is not merely a moral question. It is the consequence of a social and economic order engineered to destroy the family. If we keep putting in pro-life politicians who support the status quo, all the judges in the world will not end abortion. Why? Because of our failure to address the money interests, international scientific dictatorship, and governments committed to keep abortion legal for eugenics purposes.
