Essay: 2022 Ally of Conservatives Award
This essay is in response to the Conservative of the Year 2022 award which is currently in a state of flux (Perhaps the content of this essay is having its desired effect).
1. Elon Musk
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.
Indian Express article: Critics say Musk has revealed himself as a Conservative. It’s not so simple.
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]
5 additional reasons why Elon Musk should not be conservative of the year:
Here are 5 reasons why Elon Musk should not be conservative of year:
1. On July 14, 2018, Elon Musk said, "To be clear, I am not a conservative."[3] Are we to believe that he became a conservative in the last 4 years? I don't think so. And he certainly hasn't called himself a conservative in the last 4 years.
2. Elon Musk does not believe in the existence of God because he is an agnostic. Here is a video: Elon Musk is an agnostic
3. In 2017, Elon Musk broke up with his bisexual, liberal girlfriend Amber Heard who is a Hollywood actress. Amber Heard said, "I will never be a religious person". In 2018, Elon Musk broke up with Amber Heard a second time.
4. On November 7, 2022, Elon Musk said, "And I’m open to the idea of voting Democrat again in the future."[4] Does any person believe that the Democrats are largely going to be conservatives in Elon Musk's lifetime? I very much doubt Musk believes that.
5. On November 7, 2022, Elon Musk said, "I am neither conventionally right nor left, but I agree with your point."[5] Why would Conservapedia pick someone who is not even on the right side of the political spectrum to be conservative of the year? Conservapedians might was well pick the political moderate Mitch McConnell to be the conservative of the year if they are going to pick a moderate to be the conservative of the year.
Accomplishment: Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter was the most consequential thing an ally of conservatives has done since Donald Trump left office.
Musk responded to the network's statement about so-called "security concerns" Sunday afternoon with a giggling emoji . His wordless response received nearly 100,000 likes in an hour. Apparently, CBS News dislikes Elon Musk's policy of allowing more free speech and not censoring conservatives.
2. Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is twice divorced. He divorced his first wife after cheating on her. He then divorced his second wife who was an adultress in order to marry a model who was much younger than his first wife. He also cheated on his third wife with Stormy Daniels.
In addition, President Trump's appointed the homosexual Richard Grenell as acting Director of National Intelligence. Previously, while Greenwall was the ambassador to Germany, he spearheaded a global effort to end the criminalization of homosexuality in nearly 70 countries where it was still illegal.[6]
Recently, Donald Trump suggested that parts of the U.S. Constitution be suspended due to the circumstances associated with the 2020 election.
Accomplishments:
While Donald Trump is not a conservative, due to some prominent blemishes as far as social conservatism, he is the strongest living ally of conservatives and his administration appointed many conservative judges at the federal level. Trump caused many other victories for conservatives (See: Essay: Donald Trump's glorious victories and Donald Trump achievements).
Trump could have gotten a lot more done as president, but unfortunately he had to contend with all the Democrats' dirty tricks and witchhunts like the "Russian collusion" claims.
Why I hope Donald Trump is elected president in 2024 out of the most likely candidates to win at this point:
For the record, Donald Trump is defnitely still a contender for the GOP nomination and he could win against Biden in 2024 given the direction the USA/World economy is headed in. In addition, Joe Biden is incompetent and is suffering cognitive decline.
As far as the most likely candidates to win at this point, despite his faults, Trump has definitely had prior accomplishments, so I do hope Trump is reelected. But he is somewhat of a longshot as far as winning the presidency in 2024 as of 12-31-2022 according to prediction markets, but that could change (See: Political polls vs. political betting markets. Which are better?). But he is definitely still a contender. Underestimate Trump at your peril is something his critics have learned the hard way in the past.
Although Donald Trump does not appear to be a Christian, he has often been an ally of Christians and a champion of religious freedom (See: Donald Trump achievements: Religious liberty and LGBT).
Given the current state of West, which I hope improves soon, sometimes one has to pick the lesser of evils when picking a candidate.
And the winner is...
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!
