He sounds more like a character one of us created than an actual person.

Imagine actually going on TV and claiming that the legacy of Buckley and Ronald Reagan is to veto a bill designed to prevent what is effectively the chemical castration and sterilization of children because that would violate the 'conservative' principle of avoiding state interference.

(Actually he's probably right that is the REAL legacy of Ronald Reagan and his ideals.)

Imagine actually living in a society where this is up for discussion?

(Oh wait I just pinched myself and didn't wake up I'm living in one apparently.)

UNZ review has every national review magazine, full text search. And I found that they consistenly used the very politically incorrect term of "transvestite" atleast from 1960s to 1980s, they skipped over the slighly poltically incorrect term of "transexual" and started using transgender in the 1990s (which is also when it got neoconned?). If he really wanted to fufill the legacy of National Review Buckleyism he should be asking why Physicans want to make child transvetites.

Conservatives should get the firing squad. Commies get the coal mines. Libs get somalia

The Arkansas governor seems to completely misunderstand conservatism, which is rooted in the ideas of the common good and of natural law. The common good means that lawmakers have a stake in ensuring evil and bad-faith policies are not passed to the detriment of American citizens. Morals exist, and government has a role in reinforcing them. That’s why murder and child abuse are illegal, and should be.

Hutchinson cites Buckley, but while Buckley certainly believed in limited government, invoking the National Review founder to support this kind of veto is nonsense. Buckley’s 1990 book “Gratitude” laid out the idea of “national service” for children to serve American interests, aligning him with the Edmund Burke camp that determines civic institutions necessary to be protected by a moral and just government. Buckley understood that the government and institutions have some role in the inculcation of virtue.

Limited government does not mean governments failing to protect a child’s natural right to be secure from mutilation even at the hands of his parents. This is a complete obliteration and misuse of the term. A limited government by definition is one that restrains itself in the service of natural rights. Limited government doesn’t mean no government, but government that is restricted to its proper ends, that remains within its proper bounds. One of the proper uses of government is protecting children from literal physical destruction. A limited government, therefore, is duty-bound to act precisely where Hutchinson claims it should not.

Conservatism is still fake and gay.

Fuck transitioning and transgender ideology as a whole, not just for children but for adults, too. Parents certainly should not be able to force their children to transition, but if a child wants it and a doctor wants it, the government should not interfere. The problem with circumcision (and the reason it should be banned) is because the baby does not give consent. If an adult or even a teenager wants to circumcise, fine.
