Alabama Conservative Perspective

     
   

A PROPER PERSPECTIVE OF ALABAMA CONSERVATIVBES

The following incidents illustrate how a culture of Special Interests corrupts and controls Alabama's government. As you read, remember that these privilege seekers are only half the problem. Without the privilege providers in government, no Special Interest abuse can occur. The first three examples focus on large corporations.

There is a prejudice against big business and professional lobbyists that is regrettably common, but is not shared by this author. I am pro-business whatever its size. Businesses become big for two reasons: success and profits. I celebrate both as part of the American dream. To hate these is to share the mindset of socialism and communism. Those who wish government would do something about them might be more at home in Cuba or China than in America.

In our democratic republic the citizens not only have the right of electing their officials but the right of access to them once elected. Whether private citizens are a big business, professional lobbyist or an average individual, they have the right to discuss with their elected officials matters of special interest to them, to argue their view of the matter and seek to persuade officials to their side. Those who would deny this right to solve corruption are advocating government by a small group of secluded elitists who would hand down their pronouncements to the people

Having made this disclaimer, I hasten on to say, however, that big business is especially susceptible to Special Interest corruption for this reason: the bigger the business, the greater the power and the greater the power, the greater the temptation to use it to gain what is wanted by any means it requires, including abuse of the system. Unless the people can see through the tons of TV advertising, the Alabama conservatives have a hard time being elected.

Will the Commandments apply for ever, or Old Testament time only

Psalm 111

7 The works of his hands are verity and judgment; all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness.
9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.
10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.

God Promises he will not break his Covenant of Commandments
Psalm 89

31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
