Andrew Sullivan, in his new book The Conservative Soul, declares a jihad on certainty, by which he means the certainty of fundamentalist “Christianists”Andrew Sullivan is certain of only one thing in this life - where he wants to put his penis!

I have long argued that there is no such thing as neutral. That humans by virtue of their survival instainct must necessarily pick a side.

Prominent figures in history books took a stand on what is right or wrong. Everyone else is just a sentence at best. The big reason why liberalism (and similar ilk) always fail in the long run is that they fail to see that there are real evil people, real saints among us.

Only evil people see the world as black-and-white.Except, of course, Islamists, since by this enlightened thinking, theirs is only a reaction of the oppressed to the evil "certainty" of the Judeo-Christian west. Islam is really all about "peace and luuuuv," save for millions of dogma-crazed "freedom fighters," whose only wish is to enslave the world, poor darlings.

Unlike television comedy shows [Seinfeld], civilizations cannot be based on nothing. Civilizations must be sustained by beliefs, strong beliefs. If the leadership of a civilization does not transmit certainties about the value of that civilization to its populace, that civilization will wither and die, and be overrun by some other civilization that DOES have strong beliefs. For instance: today's Europe, based on nothing but the pleasure principle, is being overrun by Islam. And America is not immune from this fate.

Certainly, I'm certain. But, are you certain that you are certain? For certain is, as certain does...

The New Republic’s Jonathan Chait proclaims that liberalism is the anti-dogmatic ideology. Wheezing! Collapsing! Tears in my eyes! Funniest thing I've seen on FR in months! ;)
