6th district candidate raffling off AR-15

Eleventh in a series of profiles of candidates in the 6th congressional special election.

MARIETTA, Ga Raffling off an AR-15 in a political campaign may sound provocative, but to Amy Kremer, it signifies her strong support of the 2nd amendment.

Giveaways like these have been done in a lot of campaigns; I wish I could take credit for it, said Kremer, one of 18 candidates seeking to replace Tom Price in the 6th congressional district. We are very pro-2nd Amendment not only in Georgia but in the south.

Kremer is a native of the 6th district, and was one of the founders of the Tea Party. She co-founded the Tea Party Patriots and is former chairperson of the Tea Party Express.

We need more conservatives in Washington, Kremer said. The GOP is dragging its feet in terms of rejecting Obamacare and implementing the presidents initiatives. I worked with Tom Price to fight against Obamacare before it was even called Obamacare.

Kremer remembers when the intersection of Sandy Plains and Shallowford roads was a four-way intersection with a stop sign, and where we used to sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts for fundraisers.

Most of the work Ive done has been on the national level but benefited the people of this district.

The district includes portions of Atlanta, Brookhaven, Chamblee, Dunwoody, Doraville, Tucker, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Alpharetta, Johns Creek Milton and Mountain Park. Before it was last redrawn as part of Census reapportionment, Republicans Newt Gingrich and Johnny Isakson held the seat.

Kremers campaign is raffling off a CQB .300 Blackout, which has a retail value of $2,500. For every $25 donated to her campaign, entrants will receive one entry ticket. For every $100, five entries will be made, with a maximum of 108 donations/135 entries.

The special election to replace Price, who is now President Donald Trumps secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is set for April 18. All of the candidates will appear on one ballot, and a runoff is virtually assured in the race. The only way to avoid a runoff would be if one candidate receives 50 percent-plus-one on April 18, almost an impossibility in such a crowded race.

Crunchy Chicken Salad

Ingredients

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and diced (rotisserie chicken works)

1 stalk celery, diced

4 green onions, chopped

1 apple, cored and diced (I use Granny Smith or Honey Crisp)

1/3 cup craisins

1/3 cup seedless red or green grapes, halved

1/2 cup chopped candied or toasted pecans (raw pecans will also work)

1/2 teaspoon curry powder

teaspoon salt or seasoning salt (to taste)

-1 cup mayonnaise

Directions

In a large bowl, COMBINE the chicken, celery, onion, apple, craisins, grapes, pecans, curry powder, salt and mayonnaise. MIX together until well combined. SERVE on croissant or lettuce.

Tastes best if prepared the day before serving to allow flavors to come together while in the fridge.

You may need to add a teaspoon or so of extra mayo just before serving to add a little extra moisture.

SERVE on a lettuce leaf or a croissant.

There is an adagerestated many times and by many authorsthat you can tell more about a persons character by how he treats his social inferiors than by how he treats those equal to or above him. A middle-manager who abuses the office janitor shows a character defect. The adage holds this abuse reveals more about the managers character than if the manager is nice to other managers and to his or her supervisors.

A direct political analogue is how groups conduct themselves in rallies and public demonstrations. Do they act peacefully and clean up after themselves, or do they riot and leave a mess for public-sanitation workers? Although there may be many individual differences within any group, the adage suggests far better character, on average, among the former cohort.

A few years ago, Tea Party groups protested widely against the federal governments overspending and overregulation. These protests could be vigorous and overwrought, but almost invariably the participants acted peacefully and cleaned up after themselves. I asked Mark Meckler, one of the movements most prominent leaders, what he and other organizers did to ensure individuals did not leave a mess for others to deal with. Here is what he reported:

The Tea Party movement was largely self-policing, which was the most amazing part, said Meckler. Im sure that good, neighborly behavior was encouraged, but the reality is that this is just how folks on the right generally behave. We believe in the rule of law. We believe in the right to peaceably assemble. We believe in private property rights. And we believe in the Golden Rule. Were we angry? Sure, we wereand frankly, we still are. But we were civil, non-destructive, and certainly never criminal. These are hallmarks of conservative protests and are the exact opposite of what one sees on the left.

Meckler is certainly correct about what one sees on the left. The mess created by progressive rallies and demonstrations has become legendary. The Occupy movement left tons of litter for hapless sanitation workers to clean up after their 2011 protests. More recently, the Womens March did the same. The Black Lives Matter movement has been even worse, adding riots and looting to their mounds of trash.

It is fair to conclude the behavioral contrast tells us something about the character of the participants in these movements, but does the contrast also reflect on their arguments? Strictly speaking, to reject an argument because of the identity of the arguer is the classic ad hominem fallacy. The identity of the person making a claim does not, by itself, prove or disprove the correctness of the claim.

Yet everyone recognizes that the identity of the arguer can be one legitimate consideration for judging an argument. We recognize this officially in our campaign disclosure laws; a principal justification for those laws is the identity, interest, and character of those funding a campaign reflect on the campaigns merits. The identity, interests, and character of a candidates supporters tell us something about the candidate.

You can carry this too far, of course, but all things being equal, would you rather have a person in a position of power who appeals to decent, conscientious peopleor one who panders to rioters and metaphorical pigs?

Thus, the stark difference between the conduct of conservative and left-wing protests reflects on the merits of what they say. That difference is also a reason the facile equivalencies some draw between the Tea Party movement and protests on the left are highly offensive.

It is common to say, Good people can differ. This is absolutely true, but it does not follow that because they differ they are all good.
