It s only a matter of time before the issue snowballs. It's already happening. The liberal and moderate columnists now defending Horowitz's right to free speech are also refuting the substance of his arguments, and though not agreeing with reparations, they are expressing sympathy with the desire of black advocates to receive compensation. Their arguments are largely wrong, but being wrong never hurt anyone in American politics. Here the game is about repetition, and these columnists can certainly be depended upon to repeat the line.
Liberals are good parrots if nothing else.
This process, like others before it, will create its own logic where no conservative argument, save maybe minimalism, will have a chance. I don t know. Not their trillion dollar reparations package, but they will walk away with something, most likely a recognition of slavery s lingering legacy , which will then be used to justify more idiot welfare give aways or affirmative action. Whatever it is, our wallets are going to end up lighter and our freedoms fewer. Horowitz had best make the most of his time in the public eye.
