Wow -- What a Rant by "Rage Boy" Chris Hitch Today
I am perfectly content, really quite happy, about Obama's decision to have this mega-Church author, pastor, and cultural figure, Rick Warren, give the prayer at the January 20th Inauguration of our new United States President. I understand the apoplexy of ''Rage Boy'' Christopher Hitchens at the very thought of a prayer being said, let alone a ...

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, ...

The Great Game -- Anglo Amero Brits and Kamchatka!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waziristan Honestly, I do not know why it is, that I both love to read Christopher Hitchens every week, and disagree with his every point almost without exception. Maybe it is his ''the sun never sets on the British Empire'' world girdling perapatetic meanderings around the World Map of Current Events and political ...

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. ...

Does Feith mention the PNAC and Wolfowitz?
Hitchens is not an authority on the War on Iraq. He was in favor of it. So the fact that he claims Feith's work is a triumph for the pro-invasionists, pro-imperialists crowd is selfserving and prejudice. First) the motivations, objectives, and purposes for invading Iraq was determined years before 2001. Did Feith mention that? Or did he drop ...

Apotheocracy & Israel
As Hitchens implies that the death of Israel will come at the hands of the thanatocracies of the Middle East, another transcendental geo-strategic trend is convenientally masked by the Western powers. How does a tiny nation of 6 million, 4 million who are Jews, in a sea of 150 million Arabs, get 10s of billions from America annually, billions ...

Men vs Women Dems vs Repubs Black vs White Hitch vs Me
The Black community is expert at tearing down it's Black Men, from children who dis Daddy, to womenfolk who dismiss their menfolk contemptuously, to ''Black on Black'' street violence and Black racism directed not just at Whites, but at other Blacks as well. You can see this everywhere you look in our ''post-Martin Luther King's success'' American ...

Ilk or Actuality?
I have to question the premise of Hitchens' argument. It seems he prefers to remain among those who feel they haven't heard enough renunciation and distancing in Obama's ''handling'' of his ''pastor situation.'' The senator actually demonstrated integrity treating the Rev. Wright and his comments with more seriousness than a mere political ...

The American Soul: A Killer
After marvelling at No Country for Old Men, I read a review in Entertainment Weekly which shared my admiration. That movie and this quote from DH Lawrence seemed to encapsulate AN essence of America: The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. There is more to it, but at this point in time, it suffices.

Re: Hitchens
I blame America. And Bush. And Hitchens. Not for detonating the bomb, but for supporting the decades long American policy of interfering in Pakistan to advance American interests. Decades of America dominating in Pakistan through Pakistani military assets has forced opposing politica interests to practice the most drastic, most violent ...
