Horowitz Rocks!

G-d willing that one of those creeps listens to them, but they are so revved up in their own bile and hatred and hysteria, it will probably take years for them to come down...sad to say...

all I can think is that true lovers of America will not be so complacent and/or reticent in their response. I think it is time for the GenX generation (those born between 1961 and 1980) to show they will not bear a repeat of what they saw in childhood.

I know *I* won't!

Bump.

Like fine wines, the good Cal alumns get better with age!

Let's remember September!

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Good post. How anyone can protest a response to a direct attack on his fellow countrymen is beyond me. These pacifists are truly cowards.

[Lexington Green]

Call treason treason.

[Harrison Bergeron]

Ping.

I sometimes suspected Horowitz of being a plant, his conservative essays really serving as leftist agitprop to draw out the communist-under-every-bed lunatic fringe. But articles like this tell me I was just flat wrong.

Horowitz's magazine "Ramparts" was the magazine of the anti-war movement in the 60's and 70's. His conversion to conservatism appears to coincide with presents of large amounts of conservative foundation money. He suddenly discover the joy of conservatism about the time the anti-war movement, and his audience faded and the right wing reemerged flush with bucks.

If patriotic Americans had been more vigilant in the defense of their country, if they had called things by their right names

They did. They were called rednecks and Archie Bunkers and ignorant hayseeds and hateful jingoistic crackers, after which they were marginalized for almost thirty years.

You can't blame the victim because he failed to stop the crime.

You may wish to read "Radical Son" if you haven't. Mr. Horowitz has been to hell, and he is here to describe it to the world. His sentiment about the poor and downtrodden occassionally sounds left, but he now proposes solid conservative fixes to their troubles. And, as an intellectual warrior defected from the other side, he is invaluable.

Again, I highly recommend the book as a great history, story of redemption, and a fantastic read.

This appeal is for those of you who are out there today attacking your country, full of your own self-righteousness, but who one day might also live to regret what you have done.

or, you might die at the hands of terrorists...what regrets would you have then? None.
Peaceniks need to understand that they have enemies in the world, and those enemies are not Americans, or the American system; the enemies of the peaceniks are the same enemies we have, radical Islamic terrorists and the nations that support them.

That's great! Did you make that?

[Mr. Bungle]

"That's great! Did you make that? "

yup.

"These pacifists are truly cowards."

They are cowards. In addition, they are simply rebellious brats who engage in a blind, thoughtless behavior pattern of rebelling against authority and tradition. As Limbaugh says, the student protestors are "skulls full of mush". This time, we can't let their voices get too loud. It's time to prepare for massive pro-defense rallies if necessary. Stay tuned for further details.

Horowitz is exactly right about the "anti-war" movement. They openly hate the US and all it stands for. On a side note, "Radical Son" is one of the best books I have read in the past decade. I have had the pleasure of meeting Horowitza twice and having him sign my copy of "Art of Political War".

Here's some more good ammunition for you!

[gumbo]

Fan-tastic. (Your post #8.) I just emailed that to my whole family. Hope you don't mind.

[Harrison Bergeron]

Thanks. I'm going to pick it up. I'm falling way behind though. I bought "Hating Whitey" over a year ago and still haven't read it.
