This Is Not a Test |
There is no desire for a MAGA or conservative "purity test."
I am grateful for those who put comments after my articles. Some are very kind, while others are quite critical. And that is a good thing. People can certainly disagree with anything I write, and sometimes I learn something of value from comments in either direction.
One thing I have noted over the past few writings is that people conclude from my criticisms of Tucker Carlson and his friends on the new "woke Right" that MAGA and/or the conservative movement requires some type of purity test. You may only think A, B, and C; otherwise, we will throw you to the wolves. That is how the Democrats actually work today. Do you think that some potential candidate with a "D" after her name could suggest abortions limited to the first trimester, or no gun control whatsoever, or a strict immigration regime that includes a hermetically-sealed border? The party would not support such a candidate or provide any funding. "Go to the Republicans. You sound like one."
Many moons ago, Ray Kroc had an opportunity to speak at the Wharton School of Business. After his seminar, he went out with faculty and students for drinks. He asked them, "What business do you think I am in?" Everyone laughed. "Ray, you're in the hamburger business!" He smiled and said, "No. I am in the real estate business, and the hamburgers make my properties more valuable." Elon Musk is an outstanding and visionary engineer and business leader. But each of his companies started with an idea: a great electric car that would eventually drive itself, getting to Mars, restoring brain function, etc. Ideas still count. And just as the F-35 has a very advanced sensor suite, so Jews have sensors for Jew hate. It has been refined over a couple of thousand years. And the Jews' sensors are going off with recent attacks from Carlson, Owens, Gaetz, Bannon, and others.
