Fascinating article, Huber -- thanks for posting. Of course it doesn't at all occur to the Duke Prof that fewer people are attending the anti-military protests, simply because they realize they wish to live, to be defended against more murderous attacks on our citizens?

Of course not.

In the 60s, it was Simone Beauvoir who coined and ranted (rasped) FOR the "little death". Sexual. Now the left is ranting FOR the "larger death", as in permanent.

The left hasn't grown much in all these years if that's the kind of intellectual leap they propose as a "movement."

People are choosing "Life" in increasing numbers, and this depresses the left.

These anti-military protests this past weekend "pretend" to be FOR the lives of the military. They aren't. Therefore their own message is diluted, and they can't figure out the reason why beyond some "vast "growth in government" conspiracy"?

The left's effective message, using current news is:

We support Terri Shiavo's humanness, but we totally disagree with everything she represents.

Think about this -- how can a movement grow, nor even survive, such an unclear message.
