Presumably emboldened by the size of Biden’s lead, the left is pushing harder on its wish list. And so, Sunday’s NYT included a long column making the case for reparations, and we have an argument for removing statues of all slaveholders—including Washington—in today’s paper.
My response to the reparations column will be lengthy, and will have to wait until I have the use of a proper keyboard. The Washington argument, however, is a piece of moral and political obtuseness that makes the case for the right just as much as Trump makes it for the left. This is middle America’s nightmare. It is a Trump commercial waiting to happen. It has to stop until Trump has actually been defeated, or he won’t be.
