<p style="font-weight: 400;">Last week, Arkansas governor Asa Hutchinson refused to sign into law a bill that would protect children from the predations of perverts who want to pump them full of cross-sex hormones. Governor Hutchinson’s “conservatism” demands that we defend child castration as preferable to any “big government” regulation that might outlaw it. “I go back to William Buckley, I go back to Ronald Reagan, to principles of our party,” Hutchinson explained, “which believes in a limited role of government.” One can almost hear WFB and the Gipper turning in their graves. If preventing the mutilation of minors does not fall within the limits of legitimate government, what does?</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Hutchinson dismissed the bill as “a product of the cultural war in America” — a war that he seems to wish we would all just surrender. The governor has acknowledged “the fear…that we’re losing our culture.” But, he insisted during an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, “You don’t need to use the instrument of the law, you don’t need to use the state to accomplish that purpose in every instance. There is the Church. There is society. There is your community. And that’s where the culture is impacted or reflected in the future.” In other words, “politics is downstream of culture.”</p>
