You know I looked on the net for a blog post by this fellow and didn’t find one, could I have been punked?

You might have gotten a glimpse of him in yesterday’s video.

I don’t know what evangelicals Ben Smith talked to…

…but there were plenty of tea party people and solid Christians at CPAC and although they disagree on a few issues they got along just fine.

Just ask Cynthia Yockey and Bruce Carol if all those Christian Bloggers ran them out on a rail. Or if that notorious Catholic blogger who opposes gay marriage refused to interview them.

Stacy meanwhile notes some interesting links for the “Evangelical” in question.

Well it doesn’t count as a “Have Fedora will Travel” event…

This may sound cruel to some people but what happened to kids?

There were no shortage of bullies when I was a kid, particularly when you were a fat kid like I was, but we didn’t kill ourselves over it or need the state to pass laws to protest us.

If these kids can’t be taught how to deal with this stuff without litigation when they are young how strong are they going to be when they have to deal with real life which is much more unforgiving?

There are laws against assault, if people are assaulting others the assault laws can be used.

There are laws against libel, if people are being libeled those laws can be used.

What kind of generation are we raising? No wonder we can’t convince people to stand up to Jihadists. If we need legislation to stand up to bullies in school we are going to just wilt when real threats come up.
