Maggie's Farm

Vonnegut on Iraq: SDA

Socializing medicine: Cafe Hayek

The cost of freedom: Confed. Yank

Chris Matthews in denial: LGF. Would he have said the same of Hitler and Stalin and Pol Pot? To deny the human potential for evil is dangerously foolish, not virtuous.

A quote from Dinocrat, re the Iraq vote:

"The Left is in a profound crisis, a crisis which they have as yet failed to recognize. They are living in a country in which they are outnumbered 3 to 2 by conservatives, and they refuse to consciously recognize that the liberal position is no longer the default position in American public opinion, even as they are forced to cast humiliating votes. The religion of the Left has failed to capture the hearts of America. Their religion has failed, but it’s all they have. Imagine a young man at a madrassa in Pakistan who wakes up one day to discover that he no longer believes the Koran to be literally true. He still carries on with lessons and prayers, perhaps all the louder and more fervently. The Left too has its playbook; it is all they have. So one should expect more of the same, perhaps louder and more fervently."
