Sununu: ‘The Government Is Not the Solution to Cultural Issues’
Breitbart ^ | 01/29/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/29/2023 8:13:05 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that it was not the government’s job to address cultural issues.

Anchor Dana Bash said, “I want to play something that you said in your inaugural address earlier this month.”

During his inaugural speech, Sununu said, “It’s not right to tell a private business what they can or cannot do. It is not the New Hampshire way to force locally elected and accountable school districts or town councils to bend to the statehouse’s will. That’s not leadership, and it’s not conservative, and it is certainly not freedom.”

Let’s see. The left throws rocks. The right must respond. Then one on ‘our’ side says BOTH sides need to tone it down. The result is DJT.

“said...it was not the government’s job to address cultural issues.”

He’s right, but it is the government’s job to PROTECT the citizens from the absolute Leftist Fanatics that want to DESTROY our culture.

‘The Government Is Not the Solution to Cultural Issues’

Contrast to Sanders, Youngkin, and DeSantis who are not afraid to hit these “cultural issues” head-on. Sanders just said that nobody in Arkansas government can use “Latinx.” She’s fighting back by not letting the communists take control of the language.

Not only is the government not the solution to cultural issues, it is the CAUSE most of them.

* God out of schools - check.
* Wipe out our borders - check.
* Stop merit immigration and open the country to uneducated third-worlders - check.
* Affirmative action - check.
* Local governments sponsoring trannies in libraries to indoctrinate kids - check. * Government schools teaching our kids they are racist - check.
* Government schools teaching our kids America is an evil country - check.

On and on and on and on. Pick any social pathology at all and you find it was CAUSED by the damn government.

Sununu is right. You cannot expect the thing that caused all this social breakdown and collapse to fix it.

Exactly. The Left has the exact opposite outlook. It relies on tax dollars to fund its social engineering efforts, no matter how offensive to actual taxpayers. Sununu must know that his position is akin to tying both hands behind his back during a [dirty] fight.

All they want is for government to promote business with tax dollars and debt.

“Politics is downstream of culture.”
— Andrew Breitbart

If only one side wants to steer the Culture, that becomes the side that wins the Politics.

The preemptive surrender of RINO Sununu. What a useless tool.

The government causes many of the cultural issues.

This phony distinction between “social issues” and other issues is always made by politicians who don’t want to stand up for America’s Christian (or “Judeo-Christian) foundation. Our system of government is based, first and foremost, on the doctrine of “natural rights”; that our rights come from God and not from government. Also, John Adams famously said, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

And that’s just scratching the surface of the “social issues” that secularists want us to believe should be avoided when campaigning for office, or when governing after obtaining office. But the reality is that “social issues” are not optional or superfluous, but rather essential. If the culture, or “the People”, is morally degenerate then, as pointed out by Adams, our Constitution becomes powerless to govern this nation. A nation in which the People are sovereign requires morally self-restrained people to function. Drop degenerates in as citizens instead, and the freedoms contained in the Constitution just become a license to do unspeakable evil.

Sununu is either a spineless wimp or a degenerate himself.

You left out ‘Institute racial equity policies at all levels of government and society’ and ‘Institute permanent racial reparation programs at all levels of government and society’.

To the idiot Sununu: The public schools ARE the goverment, and is they, the public schools, that have no right to politicize education and forcing a cultural war on the children and against the wishes of the parents.

One new idea mentioned just recently was each school’s principal to be directly elected by the parents of the kids attending that school.

Sununu doesn’t understand every law passed supports some group’s moral position.

The fact he refuses to see that is telling.

“It’s not right to tell a private business what they can or cannot do.” -— That ship sailed decades ago.

Thanks. Yes, those are very important additions, probably the most important. I knew I was leaving out some important government actions to destroy us.

It is not the solution but it is mostly the cause of the problems.

He’s in a state that’s been getting flooded with leftist Massh**les for years. Any wonder he’s pandering?
