A Vindication of America

Islamofascists, big religious wigs, and campus radicals say that America is ruled by plutocrats who use sex to sell to a consumer society. Then Saudi moneybags buy girls from India and Pakistan, and American prelates hide child molesters from the police, while campus radicals, who say that what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms is none of our business, do it in public.

Very interesting perspective. Never quite thought of it that way before. Thanks for the post.

President Bush says that our enemies hate freedom, and they think that he is an idiot. So the President knows the truth, which is better than being intelligent because the purpose of intelligence is to know the truth. Truth is an end, intelligence a means. And intelligence that consistently fails to find the truth is not really intelligence. It is like a computer with a bug or a doctor whose patients all die.

BINGO! BINGO! BINGO! WOW!!!

The radicals share with Saddam Hussein a Nazi/communist disdain for bourgeois respectability; the churchmen share with Osama bin Laden a hatred of bourgeois decadence.

What merit is there in not stealing because you fear that your hand will be cut off? In not drinking because you have no alcohol? In not being aroused by a woman you cannot see?

The Islamofascist cannot conceive of morality without coercion. To the Islamofascist, freedom is immorality. Freedom is license to him, not the arena in which we choose good or evil. Morality is imposed, external, not free and internal, which is why terrorists who come to America to destroy debauchery and promiscuity go to topless bars before murdering the just and the unjust alike.

Very clear vision
"President Bush says that our enemies hate freedom, and they think that he is an idiot. So the President knows the truth, which is better than being intelligent because the purpose of intelligence is to know the truth. Truth is an end, intelligence a means."

I have from 9:11 recognized that Bush sees clearly where most see poorly. God Bless him and stand with him

Talking about freedom...a nice rebuttal to our "other" poster on the repression thread.

BUMP! After the "Inquisition" threads, a bit of much needed sanity!

Or an ice-cold beer after a hard day's work.

Or a frozen Margarita after a day at the beach, with Jimmy Buffett playing in the background!

Is it just me, or has there been a bit too much fanatacism around here lately?

[Long Cut]

Here's a good, positive one for once! It gets to BOTH kinds of fanatics.
