Ron Silver: How to Get the World to Like Us –The Case for Isolationism

The presidential electoral cycle is upon us. That means conventions. Conventions have platforms. I propose a platform that will make the world like us again. Just like they always did.
It may take 12 steps to get clean and sober, but only 6 to make the world realize just how super the U.S. can be.
1. We can start by helping the Arabs retake Andalusia. Having conquered it once, it belongs to them forever. This goes for most of the Balkans as well as Austria up to the gates of Vienna. All infidels should convert to Islam. This is inevitable as Islam means submission. Needless to say, we should all follow the code of Sharia. Itll work wonders. No need to tie up the courts with gay marriage cases; we can just kill all the homosexuals. How much better will our soap operas be when the cheating wives get stoned to death?
Whats wrong with honor killings of women? Or keeping them uneducated or illiterate? Why cant heroism be defined as hiding behind women and children while trying deliberately to kill women and children?
<...snip...>
Now I know this will offend many in my own community. Hollywood, as we know, is very sensitive to the mistreatment of women, and womens rights, first amendment protections, separation of church and state and the usual menu of American values like diversity, pluralism, dissent, free press, unfettered artistic expression and all the other BS we try to foist on the world. But what happens in America should stay in America. If filmmakers are killed in Holland, let the Dutch decide if it has a chilling effect on free and unfettered, robust debate.

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.

What ever happened to Clint Eastwood? He is a conservative and could afford to be in a town where being one means no work.

You do not seem to hear too much from him lately. Then again, he could give a tinker’s damn if he ever works again; the man has made so many movies that he has the cash to work because he *wants* to do so.

To paraphrase the immortal words of one of my fellow artists, we can hold hands, open a Coke and say, They like us, they really like us. LOL!!!!.....

The heck of it is, there are extremist Lefties out there who wouldn’t understand that this whole thing is written with the sarcasm turned up to eleven.

I always figured he was smart enough to come around. That he isn't into phony crap. And fact is he is very smart, has a masters in Chinese history. I'd love to have a beer with him
