Christopher Chantrill writes for the American Thinker about the controversy surrounding a federal agency that has found a new place in the spotlight.
Did you notice something in the last week? Our liberal friends perked up and found themselves a new enemy. Previously, every card-carrying liberal knew that Donald Trump was the enemy. But that was before the midnight raid on USAID under Commando Bro Musk. How dare, how dare Elon Musk send his racist sexist tech kids to bomb the sacred groves of USAID!
I have to admit: I had no idea about USAID. It took Musk and his tech kids to wake me up to the fact that USAID is a slush fund — the slush fund — for our educated ruling class. And all the best people have served their time at USAID and benefited from its largess. Does our ruling class take care of its friends or what! …
… Oh yeah! USAID does wonderful things for the poor and oppressed of the world. And there’s a heckuva bridge available right now, real cheap, in Baltimore. …
… For our liberal friends, politics is how they are going to save the world. And that means that anyone who opposes their political agenda is not just an enemy but an evil enemy. I just think of liberals as fools and knaves, and USAID alums as corrupt fools and knaves.
Enough of enemies, let’s talk about the question of the friend.
What do you do to your enemy? You defeat him, or arrest him, or imprison him, or lawfare him.
What do you do to your friend? You gift him. Hello USAID. …
… [I]n politics the first thing that matters is waging war on the enemy, whether it’s racists or TERFs or Trump. Today, it’s Elon and that Big Balls kid. The other thing is shoveling taxpayers’ money at your supporters, from USAID to Green New Deal. Nothing else matters. Justice? Diversity? Equity? Inclusion? Reparations? It’s all about the money.
