Liberal professor of political philosophy Mark Lilla is all for the gains on behalf of diversity rightly understood over the last generation. And we conservatives agree there really has been progress on this front, and our country in some key respects is more just than it used to be. Our rigorous “selective nostalgia” — attentive as it is to the ways things are getting better and worse — celebrates the ways things have gotten better for African Americans, women, gays, Latinos, and others.
One of the most memorable days of my life, in fact, was driving through midtown Atlanta the weekend after the same-sex-marriage decision and seeing the gay flag waving next to the American flag everywhere. One downside, of course, was that some religiously observant Americans thought that the working out of the implications of that decision would result in their marginalization as Americans, that our country’s flag would no longer be theirs. I realize the latter need not happen (although there has been more than one step in that direction), but, if it did, it would be at the expense of the inclusive ideal of American citizenship that’s genuinely conservative.

Oh, piffle. National Review has a wide variety of writers with differing and sometimes contradictory points of view. If you don’t want to read them, that’s your business, but pretending there’s nothing worthwhile is just silly.
I once subscribed to NR. They got too liberal for me by the mid 90’s.
Worthwhile? What?
Van Jones still lives.
That is proof that there is no “whitelash”.
I don’t begrudge any qualified hard working Black man a job. Skin color does not matter.
That being said, in the quest to make sure we got that qualified hard working Black man a job, we have hired on tons of unqualified moderately lazy Black men a job.
When I use the work ‘man’ here is mean it in terms of my fellow man, men and women.
Part of the crisis in leadership we are experiencing these days are the results of affirmative action. People were placed in the university setting that had no business being there.
Not only were these people “C” level people when we needed “A” level people, many of these people had no morals at all. There was nothing that they could think of that was out of line to attain a certain goal.
Many of Hillary Clinton’s minions were members of this group. Many of them were White too. They just didn’t have a freaking clue, what was sound, what wasn’t, what was morally acceptable, and what wasn’t.
Whites aren’t the only ones figuring this out. Many Blacks figured it out before they decided to vote for Donald Trump.
We’re all tired of observing the stench coming from Washington. And yet, the only stench the Left can see in Washington these days, is the Trump administration’s dedication to returning to observance of the U. S Constitutional and the national rule of law normalcy.
Whitelash?
Black leaders wish it was that simple. It isn’t, and minorities can attest to that. Trump benefited from these people’s acknowledgements.
They have a fellow traveler in me. I salute them.
Yep. Organizations are always infiltrated if they have power over the perceptions of the masses. Vice has to be normalized because Virtue is essential for Freedom and the elites/corporations want only slaves, commodities.
NR is now a Leftist forum that promotes satanism (yes-an irrational religion) where children are taught it is good to kill their own genetic offspring (whoa—rights for human beings??????) and that they should take pride in men sodomizing other men (unbridled irrational, vulgar, filthy lust, never “love” which always includes pederasty since it is a learned behavior).
Hmmmm. Why are these people promoting sodomy to little children-—can it be for the Spirit Parties of the Satanists in the White House-—little kiddies for their He/She Goat god sacrifices???? They seem to want to normalize their Skull and Bones activities of sodomizing others as well as Hastert’s “orientation” for little boys....(since you are BORN that way!!! LOL)
It’s the new FR. We no longer distinguish between editorial content and content. Saw people going after Victor Davis Hanson just yesterday.
The “new” FR? I’ve been here longer than you have, and I have probably subscribed to NR longer as well. But I’m thinking it’s time to move on from that.
Oh, goody! Yet ANOTHER DAMN link to the discredited, traitorous, Hillary-supporting, Trump-hating National Review.
If it wasn’t for the National Review and their compatriot, neo-con swine, Trump would have won the popular vote.
Honey Badger don’t give a shit about the National Review.
Please quit posting NR links on FR!
One thing is for certain, anybody that facile in gobbledygook is no conservative.
I
am a
LatinoLasher
and Proud of it!
VIVA TRUMP
They are still pretending Trump beat a black woman; I’m glad so many minorities realized the White Witch couldn’t care less for them.
Other FReepers have posted comparisons of the 2016 electoral map and a map of crime rates; incredible how reliably the worst areas came out strongest for Hillary. Trump really is the “law & order” candidate...
What a great idea, comparing the Hillary vote with crime areas. I appreciate the mention. I may have heard of this prior to this, but it really strikes home now. Thanks.
Thanks; I thought it was very telling. Kudos to the FReepers that posted it!
