Conservatives happy over Time’s Person of the Year

Time magazine has chosen, as its Person of the Year, the American soldier. Many of the posters at Lucianne.com, that weathervane of mainstream Republican/conservative opinion, are besides themselves with wonder and joy. Inveterate critic that I am, I posted this corrective:

There you go again, all you conservatives, seeking the approval of the liberal culture. Time magazine’s “Person of the Year,” like everything else about Time, has been worthless for many years now. Time is an organ of the left. For example, Time’s Man of the Century was Einstein, a liberal-left icon.

Yet, despite everything you know about liberalism, you remain so eager to get some validation from liberals that you all are ready to dance with joy because Time has, for once, issued a “person of the year” award that you like.

Don’t you get it yet? Conservatives with any sense DON’T CARE WHAT TIME MAGAZINE SAYS.

Amen. And I am minded of how conservative organs such as National Review sympathetically review the piddling novels of celebrated liberals, but will not make the slightest effort to discover non-liberal novels of superior quality published by small presses, even when those same small presses advertise in their own pages.

(The utter lack of interest conservatives show toward contemporary non-liberal literature or art is scandalous, and dooms all their efforts in the end.)
