  • Vintage Hitchens destroys Gov Palin's remains

    Mr Hitchens warns us of his ire with the 2 year campaign in his 1st sentence which goes far from being soured gastric juices. A manufacturing chemist who works daily with the most toxic compounds will identiy the composition of Mr Hitchins's 1st sentence for us shortly. I wish to be enlightened. Sarah Palin's remains, political & earthly, ...

  • News Flash: Christopher Hitchens Seeks Catholic Confessional

    I was surprised to read Christopher Hitchens today, riding high on his moral horse as to the political, cultural and economic predations of Maximum Leader Robert Mugabe in his current Country of Residence, Zimbabwe. What people like Hitchens never seem to understand, is that morality is never just for other people, or leaders, or religious types. ...

  • Ilk or Actuality?

    Christopher Hitchens' article, ''Bah, Hanukkah,'' December 3rd in Slate woke this atheist Jew from his slumbers.

I have apparently been, for sixty years now, and Jews have been for a couple of millennia, ...

  • Someone please help me with this...

    OK. Background- I'm a well-educated, New England liberal. I believe that religion and the state should be kept separate. I believe that America is a place of great ideals and great potential, but that potential is squandered on superficial consumerism. I believe that Wal-Mart, and other uber-capitalist corporations like it are downright evil. I ...

  • Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Western Civilization

    Whenever I read Christopher Hitchens, I learn a few lessons. In this case, Hitch upheld The Netherlands/Dutch as historically heroic for, among other things, offering refuge to Spinoza's family. Who knew? Unfortunately, when reading Hitchens, I always come across masterfully artful examples of his selective Polemics - (argumentative techniques.) ...
