More of eloquent scathing of Jihadists by Christopher Hitchens. He did what many on the Left forgot of doing: he used logic in analyzing Jihadists. The result is also logical: he became our ally. If only he used the same logic in analyzing other causes he used to champion. Oh well...

Nailed It!

 

Don't miss the Freepeer's comments;

. . . Hitchens' solidarity with us in championing the fight on terrorism is indispensable. 3 posted ... by eric_da_grate  

Amen brother. Unfortunately, some on this site do not find Hitchens to be sufficiently "pure" and therefore not worthy of support. Hitchens is a brave man. He has torched many a professional and personal relationship by doing the "right thing" and supporting the War on Terror. God bless that atheist. 4 posted ... by Maynerd

God bless the atheist indeed. Hitchens hasn't given up his basic ideals; he's simply been forced to conclude that they aren't being served by support of theocratic fascism. His ex-colleagues on the left would do well to consider this.

Part of the necessity of judgment is this - that it leads ineluctably to the conclusion that the Islamists are living in a thoroughly foul little fantasy world compounded of elements of a fantasized and unhistorical past and those of a vicious, murderous utopianism. The only single attraction this has for the left is that it isn't their sworn enemy, the West. What it is does not bear up well under close examination, and that is precisely what Hitchens has subjected it to, and found it wanting.    5 ... by Billthedrill

Thanks, guys
 

This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for the perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author all 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of the good stuff that is worthy of attention. You can see the list of articles I pinged to lately  on  my page.
You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about). Besides this one, I keep 2 separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson and Orson Scott Card.
