Sununu: Republicans Should Not Be ‘Big Government Authoritarians’ on Cultural Issues
Breitbart ^ | 02/12/2023 | Pam Key

Posted on 02/12/2023 11:12:55 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Governor Chris Sununu (R-NH) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Republicans should not try to pass laws on cultural issues because it is “trying to beat the Democrats at being big government authoritarians.”

Partial transcript as follows:

MARGARET BRENNAN: You’ve been talking about trying to sort of remind the party that Republicans are about limited government. You said recently, ‘Republicans are almost trying to outdo Democrats at their own game of being big government and having a solution and a say on everything.’ Who were you thinking of when you say that?

SUNUNU: Oh, there’s a lot- I think there’s a lot of leadership out there that forgets- at heart, I’m a principled free market conservative. Let the markets decide. So there’s no individual per se, but there’s a lot of leadership that says, you know what, when we’re not getting that result out of a private business or locality we’ll just impose from the top-down our conservative will.

He’s got a point. The question is how do we counter it when a democrat says it?

Makes no sense. The government is forcing its cultural values on us. Are we not supposed to resist?

Protecting life or property legitimate functions of government.

Children being harmed by genital mutilation does he think government stands clear of that?

Cultural issues? Define that please. Is murdering unborn innocent babies a ‘cultural issue’? Is a lack of standards and teaching lies in government schools a ‘cultural issue’? Is genital mutilation and sterilization of minors a ‘cultural issue’? Get specific because culture is wide ranging. Do a search on culture and try to find a single and consistent definition. You won’t be able to find one.

Sununu is a fraud. He is a member the Krispy, Hogam, Whitman club.

We wanted Freedom.

But maybe we didn’t know what Freedom really means.

Or maybe we have forgotten what Freedom really means.
