"The movement concerned with such 'permanent things' as constitutional government, marriage, and the right to life would have become a claque for a Twitter feed" (National Review)

  • What is known thus far about those looking to represent Pa's 8th Congressional District and their thinking about marriage/family and the sanctity of human life?

  • See Charts 1 and 2 for information as to where current members of the Pennsylvania Congressional Delegation stand on pro life and pro marriage/family legislation backed by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and/or its ''partner organization'' the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment (NCHLA, aka Human Life Action).

  • "Donald Trump leads the polls nationally and in most states in the race for the Republican presidential nomination....But he is not deserving of conservative support in the caucuses and primaries. Trump is a philosophically unmoored political opportunist who would trash the broad conservative ideological consensus within the GOP in favor of a free-floating populism with strong-man overtones.

    "Trump’s political opinions have wobbled all over the lot. The real-estate mogul and reality-TV star has supported abortion....Since declaring his candidacy he has taken a more conservative line, yet there are great gaping holes in it....

    "If Trump were to become the president, the Republican nominee, or even a failed candidate with strong conservative support, what would that say about conservatives? The movement that ground down the Soviet Union and took the shine, at least temporarily, off socialism would have fallen in behind a huckster. The movement concerned with such 'permanent things' as constitutional government, marriage, and the right to life would have become a claque for a Twitter feed....

    "Some conservatives have made it their business to make excuses for Trump and duly get pats on the head from him. Count us out. Donald Trump is a menace to American conservatism who would take the work of generations and trample it underfoot in behalf of a populism as heedless and crude as the Donald himself" (National Review, Against Trump, 1/21/16).
