We have questions. We donât have answers, but we do have questions. Four of them, in fact.
1. Why are Republicans against private property rights? Conservatives have gone apoplectic because the estate of the late Theodor Geisel â better known as Dr. Seuss â announced it no longer will publish six of his 45-plus books because they contain depictions of people that his estate calls âhurtful and wrong.â Itâs an easy way for them to take a side in a culture war and rail against the so-called âcancel culture.â
When Christiansburg restaurant owner Marie March announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination for the House of Delegates last week, she appeared in a video holding Dr. Seussâ âThe Cat In the Hat.â Meanwhile, Pete Snyder, a candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, appeared in a video holding not one but two Seuss books â âOne Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fishâ and âGreen Eggs and Ham.â
