It matters for a few reasons. The first is that the Review is
still considered the creme de la crème of intelligent conservative writing. The
second is that the National Review is still a major mouthpiece for conservative
thought in this country. With the many conflicts of Trumpism, libertarianism
and traditional conservatism going on right now one would expect a flowering of
debate, ideas and moral conflict on the right!
That's not happening. Why?
That brings us to the third reason it matters that Rich Lowry is
the Editory of the National Review.
Congresswoman Alexandria Occasio-Cortez rightfully accused the
Orange Troll of operating concentration camps on the US-Mexico border. Was
this language inflammatory? Absolutely and I'm very glad that Congresswoman
Occasio-Cortez is willing to be inflammatory! Her willingngess to put
herself out there like this allows us to see what the enemy really thinks.
Rich Lowry has been kind enough to show us what he really thinks.
We should believe him. He’s an intellectually dishonest Nazi apologist who is
willing to split hairs in order to score political points with an uneducated
audience that prefers owning the libs to facts or truth.
All the internal conflicts brewing in his own bedroom and Rich
Lowry is using a nationally read platform to troll a Congresswoman he doesn't
like!?
That's right. What's more is he is stepping into this fight
knowing that it's a loser. The simple fact is that there was a distinct
difference between the phrases “concentration camp” (which can be used to
describe everything from a PLO refugee camp in Lebanon in the 1970s to the
German internment camp at Crystal River, TX during WWII) and a “death camp.”
Has Rich Lowry never seen Conspiracy? It was kind of a big deal
when it came out. He might want to go back and watch it.
I will raise the stakes. Not only are we building concentration
camps on the border but we put our citizens in actual gulags and set them to
forced labor to enrich corporations! How will Rich defend gulags?
