Growing up in Tucson, I know that if Tucker Carlson slipped through a crack in time and stumbled into a Tucson bar in the late 1950s, I'm not sure he would make it to the hospital. Hughes Aircraft was a major employer and Davis-Monthan AFB trained pilots to fly B-47s and B-52s around the world. Barry Goldwater was one of our US Senators and the Communist Soviet Union – Russia – was the enemy.
Even though Russia is just Russia today, having lost the Union from its name, its aim remains the same: World domination that includes ending the democratic form of governing in the United States. In a word, Carlson, who is giving serious aid to the enemy, is a traitor. He is performing for another serious traitor to the cause of democracy here and around the world.
Here I am, at the far edge of being progressive, able to see and accept ambiguity, able to understand the deeper and hidden needs of the human heart, yet now I am being absolutely black and white. The line that defines the edge of the abyss may be fuzzy, but when gravity takes over, you know you’ve gone too far. Tucker has gone too far with this and with many other things, including his appalling fantasy about the Jan. 6 “tourists.”
My recommendation for all media is to reverse the telescope on him. Then he’ll be small and far away. How he is and how he should be.
