Andrew Sullivan is Irrelevant to American Politics
American pundits, bloggers and politicians give way too much credit to Andrew Sullivan. He is irrelevant to American politics.
Andrew Sullivan is not a United States citizen.
He can’t vote in our elections.
He can’t legally cast a vote for his local dog catcher in Washington, DC.
Back in the early 2000’s, Sullivan made a name for himself as a blogger and supported George W. Bush. He portrayed himself as a “gay Catholic conservative.” His fame quickly rose with his blog stats.
Sometime in 2007 or 2008, Sullivan became an Obama supporter, presumably because he thought (wrongly) that President Obama would legally sanction his marriage to Mr. Aaron Tone, an American citizen, which would automatically make Sullivan an American citizen.
For the record, I’m a conservative libertarian who supports gay marriage. I believe in the right of free adult American citizens to marry whomever they choose. It’s none of the federal government’s business.
However…
Andrew Sullivan clearly cares more about his own self interests than he does about the United States of America. Therefore, I don’t care about him.
Until Andrew Sullivan is a United States citizen, he has no business claiming any authority in American politics.
Until Andrew Sullivan can vote in our elections he has no business insinuating himself in American policy.
Until Andrew Sullivan is an American, I don’t care what he thinks. He’s irrelevant.
If he disagrees with me I hope he’ll let me know when I, as an American citizen, can cast a vote for the next king or queen of England.
Until then, I wish he’d just shut up.
