Whether these charlatans spread their poison through via dead trees or electronically is not the issue. Sure, I’m glad to see that the lefty newspapers are croaking. But like any other parasite, they’ll simply jump to a new host — in this case, the internet. The object should not be to chase them away, but to eradicate them and their contagion.
I would be content to debate their ideas on an equal footing. In my considered opinion, the reason conservative political theory has not transcended is that the means of communication has been corrupted and owned by the other side for many decades.
