Ideas and values should matter more than tribal identity...
Unfortunately, many conservatives have embraced this sort of binary thinking: If it angers the Left, it must be virtuous. Undoubtedly, that's a crude shorthand for political thinking. It means you never have to check the ideas of the speaker, you merely have to check how people respond to him.
That's dangerous. It leads to supporting bad policies and bad men. The enemy of your enemy isn't always your friend. Sometimes he's your enemy. Sometimes he's just a dude sitting there minding his own business...
The logic of "if he melts snowflakes, he's one of us" actually hands power to the Left, by allowing leftists to define conservatives' friends. It gets to choose whom we support...

I don’t know. Where did you hear that?
This cuck outed himself as a pathetic panty sniffer over that lying ditz reporter that got beat to death by Trumps guy.
1) Maybe fired
2) Quit for better things
3) *ding ding ding* Got tired of co-host Brian Whitman interrupting him to talk about how great the democrats are along with another story about another restaurant he went to in 1998, 2003 and so on and padding every answer with 500 words when 10 would do then complain when Ben tried to finish what he had to say, Brian would say “Please let me finish, I do not interrupt you...”.
I immediately thought he was alluding to Milo.
>Question being asked here (by me, unsuccessfully): if Steyn, by chance or otherwise, makes an intelligent observation about something . . . will you discount it because of his response to the death of George Michael?
I have no opinion on Steyn. Did he try to help get Hillary elected? If so, then no I wouldn’t bother reading his propaganda either. And before you start going on about observations, it was clear from the start that Little Benji was writing a propaganda piece, not an observation. You don’t need 5,000 words for an observation.
I will refer you (possibly again) to my comment #21. What do you find so troubling about the “propaganda?”

Why would I listen to #nevertrumper propaganda in service to the left? I don’t listen to communist propaganda for the same reason.

And a vanity I submitted with a Tennyson theme:
Ulysses Trump Joins Millions of Heroic Hearts to Take Back America
Nobody cares about you Ben, or what you think. You`re stupid and irrelevant.
Eff Ben Shapiro
Eff Michelle Fields and her Shapiro sidekick boy toy
She is hot though....if we were Vikings she’d be spared for as a comfort gal but her compadres would “take the walk”
I think he's talking about Trump and Milo.
I think he dislikes both because they not sufficiently ideologues. They don't fit into the neat "tribes" that he likes.
Oh, and, DAVID DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!
Run for your lives!!!!!!!!!!!!
DAVID DUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is just more self-important navel gazing by the childish Ben Shapiro.
This article has nothing to do with foreign policy. It’s simply one more NeverTrump essay.
” we are not to be blind loyal fools we have to be loyal to “principles” as defined by.... who exactly??”
As defined by a purist who has born during the Reagan administration. As defined by someone too young to remember purists like himself for whom Reagan wasn’t principled enough. As defined by someone who doesn’t remember guilt-by-association smears against Reagan identical to his own linking of Trump with David Duke.
Presidents are elected by coalitions. No one gets all that they want. You either join the coalition and help, or like little Ben Shapiro you can stand on the outside throwing rocks and helping the enemy.
” but, this about Milo more so than Trump.”
? Milo isn’t mentioned even once.
