  Today's "Read it All" Award goes too.... The Wall Street Journal's editorial page, for me, is the most enjoying part of the entire paper. The commentaries and opinions of those featured are usually a selection from some of the most eminent minds in America. Today's commentary by James Q. Wilson entitled "Divided We Stand" is certainly one of the best pieces of opinion based journalism in a long time. Read the whole thing, Wilson goes into quite a bit of depth covering what exactly it is that causes the dramatic split in contemporary politics, and why this is not a GoodThing.  ¶ 6:55 PM 0 Comments

  I love this guy... Evan Coyne Maloney's blog Brain Terminal was one of the first political blogs I ever started reading. His film Brainwashing 101 is one of the best pieces of good interesting conservative documentary i've ever seen. He has even been dubbed in some circles as the "Michael Moore" of conservativsm -- I personally can't see him as being it that extreme.

On his blog today, he wrote a response to the cartoon scandal going on recently. In response to Andrew Sullivan's article in the London Sunday tines he said one of the most bold statements I've heard about Western media not running the cartoons. He said..

The fact that the cartoons are so mild is a huge part of the story. After all, if people are threatening death over these cartoons, what else will set them into a murderous rage? Wouldn't this information be helpful?

Apparently not, in the view of our media. It is quite easy to stand up as a noble defender of press freedoms when the only people on the other side are finger-wagging octogenarian letter writers complaining about an errant nipple during a Superbowl half-time show. But the pitiful reaction of the press in this instance shows that they are nothing more than bloviating pushovers who will hand over their freedoms as readily as the French in 1940 the first minute they're faced with anything more dangerous than a pile of letters to the editor. But they're worse than just being cowards, because they've just reinforced the only lesson that radical Islamists seem to understand: the best way to achieve their goals is through mob violence.

Well there you go.  ¶ 1:09 AM 0 Comments

  A hahaha i saw this posted on instapundit...

"And reader Michael McDowell isn't having any of it:

Zerbisias condemns those Westerners who "claim to be morally superior." Well that is absolute horseshit. I am tired of being told not to judge other cultures through my "American lens" because I don’t understand their circumstances. I believe in equal rights without regard to race, religion, color, gender or country or origin. I believe in the freedom of homosexuals to marry and live freely in society. I believe in freedom of expression, and speech, and the free exchange of ideas. I believe in kindness, compassion, consideration, and that dogs make life better. I don’t "claim to be morally superior" to those ass-hat murderers; I am morally superior."

I really like that statement. Everyone keeps advocating to me that we need to judge societies in terms of their own behavior, cultural relativism. How can you be relative and be for human rights? How can you be relative and for civil liberties? These extreme islamist cultures are far far away from the quirkiness of some strange south american society that some rich anthropoligist glorifies in a pretentious novel and brings back royalties on local culture to make her millions of dollars. These are brutal, savage people killing in the name of god. Crusades? The Religion of Peace Strikes Again!!  ¶ 2:52 AM 0 Comments
