"This is pure ends-justify-the-means logic. And the means are pushing falsehood. The notion here seems to be that Trump is helping America avoid perdition, and thus must be given leeway to lie; if we didnt allow him to lie, the left would continue to do so, and then theyd win and drive us straight into Hell. But that suggests that truth no longer has the capacity to drive voters or Americans. If thats true, is finished as a principle—if we can only lie to voters to get them to vote for us, that undermines the decency of republicanism altogether."

"President Obama is, however, a man who embodies all the personal characteristics of a fascist leader, right down to the arrogant chin-up head tilt he utilizes when waiting for applause. He sees democracy as a filthy process that can be cured only by the centralized power of bureaucrats. He sees his presidency as a Hegelian synthesis marking the end of political conflict. He sees himself as embodiment of the collective will. No president should speak in these terms—not in a representative republic. Obama does it habitually."

"When someone calls you a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe because you happen to disagree with them about tax policy or same-sex marriage or abortion, thats bullying. When someone slanders you because you happen to disagree with them about global warming or the government shutdown, thats bullying. When someone labels you a bad human being because they disagree with you, they are bullying you. They are attacking your character without justification. Thats nasty. In fact, it makes them nasty."

"So, what would tempt the New York Times to print an illustration directly from the mind of Julius Streicher? The fact that the Times, like many of todays mainstream media outlets, has been completely and utterly willing to cover for and, indeed, engage in anti-Semitism, so long as it is disguised as anti-Zionism. … Back in 2015, the New York Times printed a list of lawmakers who voted against the anti-Israel Iran deal—listing them by the percentage of Jews in their districts and noting which ones were Jewish themselves. Back in 2014, the public editor of the newspaper, Margaret Sullivan, advised reporters to cover the Palestinians as "more than just victims," thanks to the papers insanely one-sided coverage. … The mainstream Left has engaged in self-flattering blindness when it comes to Jew-hatred. And all too often, that blindness veers into outright anti-Semitism."

"Meanwhile, the polarization of the American public continues apace with wokescolds doing their best to ruin every aspect of American life. Im very excited that Merriam-Webster Dictionary has now added the non-binary pronoun they to the dictionary. Because when I look at a book for definitions of words, what I want is a made-up definition of a word that has never been used this way in all of human history: a plural noun, used as a singular noun, to refer to a singular gender. Were gonna use a plural noun, and Merriam-Webster is gonna go along with this, which just demonstrates once and for all that logic has gone out the window. People are tailoring science to meet politically correct demands, people are tailoring language to meet politically correct demands."
