MEDIA ADVISORY, Jan. 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- Radio host and bestselling author Gregg Jackson and a growing list of other conservative leaders, lawyers and activists are calling on Eagle Publishing to dismiss editor Jed Babbin and take immediate and decisive steps to restore the credibility of Human Events. Among the names widely known in social conservative and pro-life circles are Dr. Ted Baehr, President of Movieguide; Ambassador Alan Keyes, former Reagan appointee and presidential candidate; Dr. William Greene of RightMarch.com; Coach Dave Daubenmire, talk show host and author; and Brian Rohrbough, President of American Right to Life.
The editor of what was Ronald Reagan's favorite conservative weekly, Human Events, Babbin only recently admitted in an explosive radio interview that Mitt Romney illegally instituted same-sex "marriage" and $50 government-funded abortions. He now claims that Human Events faithfully reported these facts to their readers, but when asked to support that erroneous claim by citing specific articles in the four years since Romney's illegal orders went into effect, Babbin angrily professed not to remember and abruptly hung up, ending the interview.
Listen to Jackson's revealing 12-minute interview with Babbin here! Jackson/Babbin Interview
On numerous occasions, Jackson and others had gone to great lengths to share Romney's far left wing record with Babbin and other writers at Human Events such as Ann Coulter, David Limbaugh and John Gizzi, but they all chose to suppress Romney's radical record in Massachusetts and in doing so deceived countless conservative readers.
Also in this interview with Jackson, Babbin adamantly asserted:
* that the unalienable right to life is no more important or fundamental than the freedom of speech or the right to vote--a statement that is not merely illogical, but is an accidental admission that he is not pro-life in any meaningful sense
* that America's founding national charter, the Declaration of Independence, is not part of the Organic Law of the United States of America--despite the fact that the U.S. Code (section XXXVII - LXVII, "Organic Laws of the United States of America" ) says explicitly that it is, and despite the fact that the Supreme Court has repeatedly stated that it is (astonishingly, Babbin is a lawyer)
* that the candidate whom Human Events endorsed for President, Fred Thompson, whom Babbin claims is "solidly pro-life," had "no choice" as a lawyer other than to represent the nation's largest abortion provider: Planned Parenthood
* that despite John McCain's support for taxpayer funding for both embryonic stem cell research and Planned Parenthood; despite his belief that babies in the womb do not possess a God-given unalienable right to life that no state may violate; and despite his opposition to a Human Life Amendment--the core plank of the Republican Party--McCain too is "solidly pro-life"
"For years conservatives trusted Human Events as a source of truth about what is happening in American politics," Jackson said. "Babbin's embarrassing and revealing statements in this very revealing interview are only the most recent indication of an ongoing purge of real conservatives and their replacement by social liberals posing as the heirs of the Reagan revolution," Jackson continued.
"As people listen to this interview, we expect awareness of the sad state of Human Events to spread through the grassroots just as the facts about Mitt Romney did, despite a concerted effort by Human Events and many supposed 'conservatives' to suppress it," said John Haskins of www.UndergroundJournal.net. "Eagle Publishing may well be too scornful of the intelligence of their own readers and too stubborn to dismiss Jed Babbin as the counterfeit conservative he revealed himself to be. But they face a continued loss of credibility which can only lead, ultimately, to the death of the publication."

The disease of judicial supremacy, infecting the highest ivory towers of "conservatism."
By the way, these quotes are in the Deace interview at the link I posted back up the thread.
Judging by that quote, I don’t think Mr. Babbin understands either the concept of Citizen Sovereignty/consent of the goverened—or the Constitutional balance of powers.
If he doesn’t understand by now, he ain’t never gonna get it.
For those who don't know, Eagle Publishing owns and operates Human Events.
If so, you're off the hook.
One from the archives:
Conservatives Challenge National Review: ‘Come Clean on Romney!’
“A magazine that conservatives grew up with has legitimized a charlatan who trashed a constitution. As a (conservative and) an opponent of judicial tyranny, Romney is a fraud.”
(July 12, 2007) Twenty-two conservative activist leaders have publicly released a letter challenging the conservative magazine National Review’s “puff work” for presidential candidate Mitt Romney and implying that the magazine is quietly abandoning the social conservative grassroots and constitutionalism. The letter was sent to National Review on June 1, 1007. The editors refuse even to acknowledge receipt of the letter, which cites information about which they’ve misled their readers, most strikingly:
* Romney’s stance and record after his “awakening” are not pro-life.
* The Massachusetts Constitution says the people are bound only by laws ratified by the legislature; and only the legislature can suspend or alter laws. Blaming judges who admit they cannot create laws and have no authority over the legislature or governor, Romney unconstitutionally ordered officials to act as if judges legalized homosexual “marriage.”
John Haskins of the Parents’ Rights Coalition notes NR’s glaring refusal to face the implications of a devastating article (May, 2004, National Review) by a leading legal scholar, illuminating why fawning, pro-establishment attorneys such as Jay Sekulow, radio lawyer Hugh Hewitt, and (an NR pro-Romney blogger) David French have facilitated Romney’s unconstitutional actions:
“The deeper failure must go to the man who stood as governor, holding the levers of the executive. And if it is countdown for marriage...it is countdown also for Mitt Romney, whose political demise may be measured along the scale of moves he could have taken and the record of his receding, step by step... [I]t became clear that even conservative lawyers had come to incorporate, and accept, the premises that gave to the courts a position of supremacy in our constitutional schemes.”
— Hadley Arkes, Professor of Jurisprudence, Amherst College, The Missing Governor (National Review Online May 17, 2004)

This means we can't attack them. Criticize them yes, withhold support and run primary opponents sure, but no name calling and avoid burning bridges.
This also means we have to actively and vocally support them at times. If we don't they can safely ignore us and marginalize us.
And while there are some things we cannot compromise on -- i.e. the Constitution -- there are other things we can and should.
Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican.-- Ronald Reagan.
Romney, McCain, Snowe, Specter & Graham (to name a few) do nothing but water down Conservatism.
I won’t support any of them ever.
No problem there. I’m no longer a Republican.
By the way, that quote is the last refuge of a RINO.
14Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
15And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
16And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
17Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
18And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
- II Corinthians Chapter 6 verses 14-18
So besides driving away everyone not in perfect agreement with you -- which apparently includes Ann Coulter and David Limbaugh -- what's your plan for the conservative agenda?
Start from scratch. Beginning with the reestablishment of the core principles these folks seem to have totally forgotten. If that isn’t our plumb line, one that is adhered to diligently, this free republic cannot be saved.
Now are you saying McCain is the unbeliever or Romney? And if it's Romney are we kicking out all Mormons? How about the Jews? Do Mark Levin and Dennis Prager get the boot? David Horowitz?
Those are your words, not mine. I said that this eleventh commandment thing is the last refuge of the RINO.
Ronald Reagan was such an effective RINO hunter that he very nearly took down a sitting RINO Republican President in a primary.
Several of them do. But it has nothing to do with their religious beliefs. It has to do with the fact that they’re either out and out liberals, or completely compromised when it comes to enforcing America’s core principles in our political system.
If you try to do everything at once you are surrendering the Republic.
