Thank you Matt. I have been saying for a while that people on the political right have been star-hungry since obama and globing on to people like Joe Rogan and Dave Portnoy simply because they hold one view that lines up with their own. You've got Fox News flattering Bill Maher for calling out woke culture even though he hates the conservative movement a whole lot more than he does censorship. Maher is not a moderate, will never be a moderate, and cozying up to him isn't going to change that, ever. I say the political right is star hungry because I don't think those left in the conservative movement, as few of us as there are, ever bought into Kanye's conversion. Wearing a MAGA hat and calling yourself a Christian doesn't change who you are. Sorry, but flattering Trump should not give someone a lifetime pass.
You are right about the left loving this. You know good and damned well they are busy making commercials for 2024 showing Trump with Kanye and Kanye with Alex Jones spewing out this lunacy. But Trump, who should know better, can't help himself. He won't distance himself from the guy and that's fine so long as he's not running for president. But since he is, he should act like it. But he won't, because that's not in his nature. Oh well. Such is life in the age of stupid.

I'm glad you addressed this aspect of Libertarianism. I could never get on board with their overall philosophy because it lacks a moral center. The whole live and let live approach to life is fine if people are angels but they are not. I'm not going to get into the damage online porn inflicts. There is enough evidence to support that claim. My problem is with the mindset that see's sex work as they call it as a victimless crime. This woman is not alone when it comes to this broader issue.
I used to follow Dennis Prager and Prager U but the more I listened to Dennis during his fireside chats, his libertarian views started to rub me the wrong way. Then I watched an interview he did with a man who was doing God's work and fighting sex traffickers at the street level. Prager started going out of his way to draw distinctions between boys and girls who were physically forced into that world versus those who volunteered. The man he was interviewing tried to keep the emphasis on the predatory nature of the evil men and women who were ensnaring these "volunteers" but Prager kept at it, gong way beyond the point of playing devils advocate in my opinion. He kept referring to his "libertarian sensibilities" as the basis for pimps rights.
I expressed my disagreements with Prager's arguments in the comment section and said I had heard enough from him to convince me to stop supporting Prager U. His "followers" let me have it pretty good. Just like it is with the left, there are certain Pharisees and wise old men on the right who are off limits when it comes to criticism. I don't believe in purity tests but I am done supporting people who may share one value with me but violate ten others. Like the "brave" commentators who say they aren't worried about being cancelled but then qualify their remarks ("I don't have a problem with transgenderism as a thing," or "I don't have a problem using someone's preferred pronoun out of respect, etc.).
Maybe I'm just that crusty old guy but we, as a society, have given enough ground to the demonic forces who are out to end us. Playing nice and adopting "a do what you want as long as it doesn't directly affect me or hurt anyone else" attitude is what got us in this mess to begin with. I'm sorry, but morality and moral codes are not social constructs. They come from God and we compromise on them at our own peril. I think the conservative movement (such as it is anymore) is so hungry for allies and stars of their own that they are willing to overlook any number of red flags and past behavior if the person can help them "own the libs." Bill Maher gets all kids of praise these days because he believes in free speech. But he still despises the right, especially those who have the audacity to believe in God and God's judgment.
I could go on but I've said too much already. Go ahead if you want, accuse me of heresy, but keep this in mind; if you fall into the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" trap, are you really that much different then those on the left you have been calling out for years? That's my take on it anyway. Thanks for the video Matt. There is more at stake than tax rates and anti-gun legislation. Anyone who bemoans the good old days when anyone could upload porn on the internet ought to be called out. But the thought process behind why they believe what they believe needs to be vetted a bit more carefully. The devil doesn't restrict his business to any one side of the political spectrum.

Matt hit it on the head when he used the term demonic. And he's right about these people getting jobs and bringing their craziness right along with them. I was part of the management team for a woke-leaning company and we were doing a SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats). A woman who described herself as a feminist and devout atheist stood up and said that fundamental Christianity posed the biggest single threat to our organization. And we were in the pizza business. 🤔
They may not be legion but they are out there and they are just as pushy in the working world as they are in the campus environment. CEO's are afraid to challenge them just like college administrators are afraid to restore sanity to their campuses. The Humanities have been totally hijacked and the hard left is in charge now. It was heading that way when I was an undergrad 30 years ago but the election of Obama and his Yes We Can BS along with his call to fundamentally change the country energized these budding Maoists and signaled to one and all that the cultural revolution had begun.
Personally, I'm not sure there is anyway back. It may come to a divorce because the moderate left-leaning people who still consider themselves to be democrats are bullied by the commies they have played footsie with for years and the commies smell fear and see blood in the water. They are pouncing because like their master they know their window of opportunity is small. All this talk about great resets and the like has emboldened them and sent them into overdrive. Make no mistake this is their religion, their cult, and they are zealots. Many would die for their cause. And don't count on the republican party winning in the midterms to change anything. The Rubicon is in the rearview mirror and we will soon be faced with a hard choice, stay and go over the cliff with these lunatics or separate and let the chips fall where they may.
The Boomers have spent this nation into second-class status. The Russians have exposed it with their venture into Ukraine and the Chinese are watching. These blue-haired crazies consider themselves to be the vanguard for a glorious revolution that will finally see the end of the wicked capitalist system they have been taught to despise but they are short on answers when it comes to what will replace it. Satan is having a blast with all of this and his primary agents like Putin and Jinping are waiting in the wings to bring the whole thing crashing down, a promise he made to himself when God created us and put him a position of servitude, a role which he rejected with all his being.
Call me nuts if you want. I don't care. But this thing is coming undone quickly and soon people are going to have to choose. Hardship and sacrifice in the name of liberty, or a nice soft tyranny where the powers that be replace God and grant rights to you on their terms. A time for choosing as President Reagan said. To borrow from Paul McCartney, it's coming down fast.

“Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea…Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! ― Matthew: 18
“But as for cowards, the unfaithful, the depraved, murderers, the unchaste, sorcerers, idol-worshipers, and deceivers of every sort, their lot is in the burning pool of fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” ― Revelation: 21:8
Let those who have ears listen.
