Apparently The Writers At Reason Can't See Reality Through The Haze Of Marijuana Smoke
I was mostly done with "Reason" a long while ago, but I am still on their email list and can't quite pull the trigger. Their occasional article about law enforcement overreach and the even less frequent shots at the current crop of socialists have kept me mildly interested. But the most recent edition has me scratching my head...
Conservative Nationalists, Not Immigrants, Are Having Trouble Assimilating in America
Given how zealously the American right has guarded America's core freedoms from foreigners, it is beyond ironic that it elected a president who tramples on them on a daily basis.
I won't bore you with a fisking of the article, because it is an incoherent fever dream of the Democrat party talking points attacking President Trump. Let us say that there is a lot of straw in this article.
It really is a view of an alternate universe. I don't know what color the sky is in their world, but it sure isn't blue.
For instance, they attack the president's use of tariffs as somehow un-American, which tells me that they are ignorant of the history of our country! "The American System" courtesy of Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun, John Quincy Adams (and others), had as one of its main precepts..tariffs! But that was like more than 100 years ago dude...
It is sad that the most serious libertarian organization in the country can't look past their distaste for the president's bombast and examine what he is actually doing, rather than his public persona.
And the country is rushing headlong into legalizing marijuana everywhere?
