Wonderful reading for the eve of our nations birthday !

[College Repub]

Regarding the title...Comeon...there's a difference between being a dumbass baffoon and being evil!

[45Auto]

The most interesting part of the equation is that American liberals/socialists seem to think of themselves as philosophical allies of the Taliban, forgetting, that if the latter came to world domination that THEY would be the first up against the wall. These morons refuse to see the danger in this and also refuse to see that only in a free society like the US could they have a voice at all. Morons, to the man.

For now, at least, deportation hearings of suspected terrorists will not be open to the public. This, the Times said, was "troubling." Sadly, the Constitution does not require that national security be compromised.

An example why Ann Coulter is one of the most gifted political satirists in our nation's history. Her writing talent will be remembered, studied and emulated when a lot of the controversies du jour that she writes about will need explanation in footnotes. You read it here first!

[cksharks]

Maybe in your eyes, but not mine. Ann is right on.

[goodieD]

one can contribute to evil just by being a "dumbass baffoon". As the liberals like to say, 'if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem'.

I wonder if Prof. Eric Foner is related to Philip Foner, an old time Stalinist Commie who wrote trash for the Commie press from the forties on to the sixties, (maybe beyond that.) Wouldn't be surprised if he is. Or maybe Philip Foner is Eric's red diapered godfather.

In 1994 The Road to Serfdom was reprinted . . . the original printing was in 1944. Its author emphasized that history did not exactly repeat itself, and we had a long way to go--but Britain and the US were in 1944 philosophically in a stunningly similar place to where Germany had been a generation earlier. All happy about socialism . . .

The main thesis of the book is that National Socialism was indeed socialism, indeed of the left. Fascism and Nazisim were simply routine splitoffs which are inevitable (Hayek asserted) among socialists. Based on the public knowledge of the Soviet Gulag before WWII, Hayek predicted that very ugly things would come to light after the fall of the Nazis. You may perhaps agree that he was right.

Given that I keep seeing similarities between the Palestinians and the Nazis, and given that Nazis were socialists and so are "liberals", the connection between "liberalism" and terrorism may just turn out to be less tenuous than you suppose.

see #8.

then expand your knowledge by reading The Road to Serfdom.

if that doesn't do it, Atlas Shrugged might be the 2x4 upside the head
that'll help you grasp just how slippery the 'liberal' slope really is ...

[habs4ever]

Thanks, old fella.Have you gazed through Witness yet? It's a fine read :-)

[College Repub]

I agree with the parts ABOUT liberalism...just not that anyone who's a liberal or democrat is evil (like terrorists)...which some people seem to think

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The Road to Serfdom bump. One of the great books of the 20th Century.

[secretagent]

"Since pacifists have more freedom of action in countries where traces of democracy survive, pacifism can act more effectively against democracy than for it. Objectively, the pacifist is pro-Nazi."

Unless the pacifist takes his non-violent direct action right to the Nazi.

If he doesn't have the courage to do that, then better to pick up a gun, according to Gandhi.

[secretagent]

I can almost hear Coulter's voice in this line:

Thousands of our fellow countrymen dying in a fiery inferno, I'm pretty sure, is "more frightening" than the rhetoric emanating from the White House.

[tomkat]

haven't got to that one yet.
maybe i can manage to creak on down to the bookstore this summer ...

[tomkat]

that's what neville thought as well ...

[Eagle Eye]

'if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem'.

No, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

[Uncle George]

This Coulter Composition should be chiseled in marble and mounted within the Arlington Cemetary on the FOURTH OF JULY. Inscribed over it should read "We hold these truths to be self evident"

"first up against the wall"

No they wouldn't - they would just be the first to try to BRIBE THEIR WAY OUT OF BEING SHOT!!
