I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
You made it, you own it
You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.
I like the Free Press. It serves my intellectual needs splendidly.
I dislike lefty commentators in silo-asylums who lose contact with reality, and eventually drift off into the never-never---thus becoming of no use to anybody.
I don't want this to happen to me.
Since, politically, I'm roughly 80% conservative, 20% libertarian, I need some moderate leftist input to keep me out of my own silo.
