I agree with you. I was thinking, reading Mark Steyn’s column this morning:
http://www.steynonline.com/
that there’s very little chance of “our side” competing with either militant homosexualism or militant Islam. A belief system that exists to crush all opposition will always have an advantage over one that isn’t interested in that.
In it he says:
I started the day on Bill Bennett's radio show, which is always fun. Jonah Goldberg was on before me, and advanced the proposition, after the Supreme Court's almighty constitutional bender last week, that it wasn't so bad; conservatives who just pottered around in their own world and tended to their families would still be able to lead lives largely unbattered by the forces of "progress". A few minutes later, one of Bill's listeners, Claudine, came on and said that's what Germans reckoned in the 1930s: just keep your head down and the storm will pass. How'd that work out?
When Jonah hits it out of the park, he then refuses to run the bases. Mark Steyn is not only funny when hitting it out of the park, he runs the bases. Very good piece by him.
