To the editor: Contributing author Josh Hammer is frightened that outstanding conservatives are less than the duty of defending and preserving the republic (“The guts of the American proper is on the road,” Dec. 25). The leaders of the American proper he names embody no statesmen, no coverage consultants — in truth, nobody with experience in something however setting up a media presence by continuously stoking cultural outrage based mostly on lies.
Hammer tells us that “at this perilous second,” the American proper wants leaders who will train “fundamental decency and judgment.” He ignores the truth that when conservative leaders do precisely that, the American proper largely drives them out of their mainstream. Assume Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney, Tom Rice, Jeff Flake and Mark Sanford.
Hammer ought to perceive that the American proper he speaks of has little interest in preserving the republic — identical to President Trump, who Hammer pointedly leaves unmentioned.
