Kathleen Parker Nailed It!
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.

The idiots in our State Department have created a situation where the Muslims will view government requests for censorship (don't give me the self-censorship garbage) as government recognizing the superiority of Islam to our resident religions which are constantly derided in the press.
What a bunch of flipping morons! Sharia by default in the blasphemy laws of Islam.
Protecting people in harms' way was the intent, but as in everything, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
We have a bunch of fourth rate thinkers unable to create. No wonder they call it bureauracracy

The Boston Globe, felt no such compunction in the past when they defended "Piss Christ," a photograph of crucifix submerged in urine. Or the Virgin Mary covered in feces.They are very careful to only be provocative with those who are not very easily provoked, in these cases Christians.

Donald Duck? No way! Bugs Bunny was Da Rabbit, yo! He'd be able to outsmart the Islamowhackos. Not that it would be that hard to do...

They are very careful to only be provocative with those who are not very easily provoked, in these cases Christians. Assuming Christianity is God's true teaching, and I do. Then attacking God would only involve attacking Christianity. It would in fact be counter productive to attack false religions.

Ping to this interesting article.
Newspapers especially deserve contempt for their spineless refusal to deal honestly with this controversy. Instead of publishing the cartoons and explaining why free expression is central to the West's survival, editors with few exceptions have swaddled themselves in the blankie of "sensitivity."
Thank God for the internet! It looks like the MSM is still too busy writing its collective obituary to play a role in the defense of freedom of speech.

No, that would be a documentary about the end of civilization circa 2006 - unless we come to our senses.WE? THEY need to come to THEIR senses and realize that the world will not put up with the rantings of lunatics and fire bombings and murders for very long.
