    No problems in the streets either. Perhaps it will all be mellow outside and just silly and showy inside.

    You'll get no argument from me that Carlson is hardly the best representation of conservative thinking. That's why NPR uses him. The roster of "conservative viewpoints" they're willing to tolerate is pretty small. Carlson, David Brooks (also the New York Times idea of what a conservative should be) and the terminally pompous George Will. The days when someone like William F. Buckley could appear regularly in Public Broadcasting are long gone.

    All the conservative pundits should turn down public broadcasting gigs on principle!

    Is speaking approvingly, even proudly, about Western Civilization just dog-whistle racism now?

    I don't think being offered air time is much of an issue. I think it's more a question of the gatekeepers being worried about someone shocking the sensibilities of their audience by implying that Western civilization is not the source of all evil in the modern world.
