Under The Marble Arch
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009

Philosopher's Corner

"With their memories of the sixties, when to be young was very heaven, they still believe that an oppositional stance in pursuit of perfection is virtuous in itself—indeed, is the prime or sole content of virtue. And it is this belief that renders them interesting to Hollander, for it makes genuine moral reflection about the nature of various governments and policies impossible. It transforms merely personal discontents into matters of supposedly great general importance."

-Theodore Dalrymple on Paul Hollander: The Only Superpower: Reflections on Strength, Weakness, and Anti-Americanism

More rude questions

DateMonday, June 29, 2009 at 09:48PM

Over at the View, Philo is tired and cranky and so says, "Feh" to political correctness and history and all and asks some uppity questions.  I want to add to that list.

Why does BO make a big effing deal about other nations' sovereignty and right to repressive, brutal, totalitarian regimes, AND TO EXPORT SAME,  while maintaining, with his fellow multi-cultists, that we are "post-national?"  I mean, he does get the "Davos" invites, doesn't he?  Whatever happened to "We Are The World?"  "Give Peace a Chance?"  The Sesame Street theme song?

Or is there an operational double standard because he's fascinated by and afraid of Islamofascists, like all liberals?

The operational double-standard - and yes, there is one - has little to do with the Occidental / Oriental divide but rather the difference between free, or mostly free, states and totalitarian regimes, with this administration in favour (obviously so, with little or no dissembling) of the latter.
