Horowitz is right. Conservatives need to reject Leftist labels that are created specifically in order to implicitly excuse their monstrous actions, and call them what they really are - attacks against freedom, truth and goodness itself.
Leftists wouldn’t put so much energy into labels if they didn’t work.
Long ago Wm F Buckley Jr said that “social” is an adjective meaning “not.” As in social justice, social security, social work, social science
Defending criminal cops is not conservative. Horowitz makes the common mistake of ascribing his own motives to others. In 1972, David was a commie trying to bring down America. Or at least making a living pretending to.
The corrupt, violent, militarized, dog shooters today SHOULD be protested by all Americans when they get out of line.
