What is Government's Role: Hugh Hewitt with Mike Gallagher

Today’s Democrats seem to be trying a new take on the “Extreme Makeover” reality show.

Their offshoot: I’d call it “Extremist Makeover.”

And we see it in their likely candidate for Senate in Maine.

It looks pretty close to certain Democrats be nominating oysterman Graham Platner in the Pinetree state.

He is not a "liberal." Platner is not even a "leftist." He’s an extremist. For years, he had a tattoo of a death head worn proudly by the Nazi era SS, Hitler’s worst of the worst.

It was—and remains—a vile symbol worn by guards at the concentration-extermination camps.

Maine’s current and—I trust—future Senator is Susan Collins.

Collins and Platner could not be more different.

It’s rare to have a Susan Collins represent your state from a position of power and influence do so with class and humility. To trade that in for a death’s skull and online bigotry It doesn’t seem like a bet Mainers are going to make.

Hugh Hewitt: 'Extremist Makeover' in Maine

It’s an age-old question: God or Mammon? What leads to a happier, more fulfilling life — religion, or money? Now, it seems we have an answer. According to the General Social Survey, church attendance predicts happiness more strongly than wealth does.

In fact, poor Americans who attend church regularly are happier than wealthy Americans who never attend at all.

Prominent behavioral scientist William von Hippel has observed, “Money buys a fair bit of happiness, but connection gives you more bang for the buck.”

He’s right. But let’s be clear about what “connection” really means.

It matters to connect with friends and neighbors — and church offers the opportunity to do that every week, and often more.

But more important still is our connection to God: our Father, our Creator, and the source of every good and lasting bond.

Many predictions about the midterm elections in the United States are dire for the GOP: a wipeout in the House, perhaps losing the Senate majority as well. The GOP could weather the electoral storm that almost always chastens the party of a president finishing his sixth year in office. But they got to do stuff.

To do that weathering: Every candidate in every partisan race has to make the case, which is easy to make: The Islamic Republic of Iran is an evil regime that cannot have nukes.

It seems certain that President Trump is not going “to go wobbly” in the battle with Iran.

Similarly: The GOP better not go wobbly either.

Americans have lost the muscle memory of victory. It will quickly regain an appreciation for resolve once the conflict is over.

GOP candidates must loudly and persuasively argue that the battle with Iran was long past due and is well worth winning.

There is no winning for the GOP in November without demanding and defending victory in this battle with Iran.
