Talk:Essay: 2022 Ally of Conservatives Award

Elon Musk on Tesla paying for employees to travel so they can get abortions. He is definitely not a conservative. And Musk never said that he is a conservative because he is not one!

Elon Musk on Teslta paying for employees to go out of state and get abortions: Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but he tweeted in September that he believes "government should rarely impose its will upon the people, and, when doing so, should aspire to maximize their cumulative happiness. That said, I would prefer to stay out of politics."[1]

In other words, Elon Musk is not for the state protecting babies from being murdered. Conservative (talk) 14:02, December 31, 2022 (EST)

So long as there's a state, it has a basic moral obligation to protect innocent human life. If this is not prioritized, a society is gradually reduced to Ancient Rome–levels of utter depravity. —LT ^{(Mark 8:36)} Saturday, 14:02, December 31, 2022 (EST)

NYT three weeks ago: "Critics Say Musk Has Revealed Himself as a Conservative. It's Not So Simple."--Andy Schlafly (talk) 14:30, December 31, 2022 (EST)

Andy, here is the article and it is at the Indian Express: Critics say Musk has revealed himself as a Conservative. It’s not so simple. Conservative (talk) 14:47, December 31, 2022 (EST)

The article at the Indian Express says of Musk: "He has called himself an independent and a centrist, yet “economically right of center, maybe.”[2] Conservative (talk) 14:49, December 31, 2022 (EST)

"On behalf of all conservatives"

...um, seriously though? —LT ^{(Mark 8:36)} Saturday, 18:54, December 31, 2022 (EST)

The whole point of the essay is to point out that the 2022 Conservative of the Year award at Conservapedia is a farce this year so adding a bit of humor is appropriate. And to point out that Donald Trump shouldn't have been picked previously for the award.

In addition, the Ally of Conservatives award is a good idea. Every political group/faction/movement needs allies.

Also, sometimes I like to have a bit of flamboyance. It attracts traffic and adds humor. Maybe I need to amp things up and add the following: Olé! Olé! Olé! :) Conservative (talk) 19:08, December 31, 2022 (EST)

Well, can you at least give us a chance to vote on who deserves the award?--Geopolitician (talk) 01:57, January 1, 2023 (EST)

[EC] [EC] [EC] If you're looking for flamboyance, how about just sticking to more research further proving a correlation between atheism and penile cancer, anal cancer, etc., in those articles you've written about? One day, perhaps that series can be promoted on MPL. :)

Also, yes, I mostly concur that the metrics by which nominees are picked and ranked isn't as sensible as either of us hope. Nonetheless, let's not let our vanities drown us in far-fetched statements like "on behalf of [large vague group]." Massive egos are indeed a trait of godless atheism, I presume? —LT ^{(Mark 8:36)} Sunday, 19:06, December 31, 2022 (EST)

On behalf of all conservatives, I hereby dub Elon Musk as winner of the 2022 Ally of Conservatives Award!

Let the dancing and other festivities begin!
