THE MORAL AMBIGUITY OF FOOLS
I was astonished when Tucker Carlson hosted presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy in a discussion that could be summarized as Let us rethink Ukraine and Israel strategy and act responsibly by putting American interests first.
Observing a moral imperative but restricting our actions to what benefits the United States.
Specifically cited is our involvement in protecting the interests of others, which ignores the defense of the American homeland. Calling out individuals such as Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham as unthinkingly pro-conflict. And suggesting that some of our politicians are bought and paid for by foreign lobbyists.
Of course, Vivek was not having a conversation; he was campaigning – for what I do not know since he is not presidential material.
The acid test…
Bottom line…
Negotiation with evil is not a negotiation; it is surrender. You do not contain evil with artificial lines; you kill evil wherever and whenever it appears.
