Pinging 2 Ping Lists

Nailed It! Moral Clarity BUMP ! 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.

Victor Davis Hanson Ping !         Let me know if you want in or out. Links: FR Index of his articles:  http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/keyword?k=victordavishanson  His website: http://victorhanson.com/     NRO archive: http://www.nationalreview.com/hanson/hanson-archive.asp

The victim analogy is an excellent point.

If there is another attack on the scale of 9/11, and I believe there will be, it will not result in a stiffening of American spines, much less enlightenment about the nature of Islam.

What it will do is, give Democrats ammunition against George Bush and his administration. We still have two and a half years. If they think they can destroy him, they will gladly try, even at the risk of American security.

Do we really need further convincing of the threat we face?

Yes, we do. Liberalism is deification of Self. They are content that what happended in New York didn't happen to them personally. They will make no sacrifice for others. Liberals don't act until their own safety and possesions are immediately threatened. Then they act ruthlessly.

Meanwhile, we in the West who worry about all this are told to fret instead about being “Islamophobes.” Indeed, a debate rages over the very use of “Islamic fascism” to describe the creed of terrorist killers — as if those authoritarians who call for a return of the ancient caliphate, who wish to impose of 7th-century sharia law, promise death to the Western “crusader” and “Jew,” and long to retreat into a mythical alternate universe of religious purity and harsh discipline, untainted by a “decadent” liberal West, are not fascists.

If our media wanted Americans to understand this simple concept, they would sell these very words day after day. Somehow, a drunk Mel Gibson's words are a 2 week media frenzy; a killer in Seattle who says "I did it because I hate Jews" or a killer in San Francisco who called himself a terrorist, do not get any more than the merest documentation in mass media, then are dropped from the news cycle forever.

Since this war has progressed, oil has gone up from $25 a barrel to over $70, now adding an additional $500 billion per annum to the coffers of Middle East dictatorships

More moral clarity from Victor Davis Hanson!

[VOA]

We're funding the guys who want to murder us.
(and the Israelis).
At least one writer sees it.

Bump!

An island of clear thinking in an ocean of MSM denial, dissembling, and propaganda.
