Hi, this is TheCandidConservative with today’s minute on killing children…

Twenty murdered children.  It’s hard to imagine – even harder to explain.  The sun had not set on their last day before political opportunists started trying.  At the head of the pack were the gun phobics.  That’s understandable – it’s easy to blame a gun you can see over something harder to get your hands on – like insanity and evil.  You can bet both were a factor in this horrific event.  Don’t believe in evil?  Then you maybe haven’t looked into the eyes of a child molester or inner city drug dealer.  Are there things we can do to stop this kind of mayhem?  No, but we can slow it down.  More laws, gun control, and political chatter will not stop crazy and evil.  Healthy families, mature role models and spiritual grounding can.  There’s one more thing.  We all need to matter.  The killer found a bad way.  Cultures that emphasize good ways will always be safer than those like ours – where more and more mattering in dark ways is considered sophisticated, liberating, and progressive.

I’m Dr. Carl Mumpower and you just spent a minute with a candid conservative…
