  • 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 ...

  • Why, Hitch, why?

    I'll never understand, and will never stop mourning, Hitch's transformation into a bellicose war monger. What I don't understand is why, just because he despises Islamic fundamentalists, or Islamo-fascists, or whatever you wish to call them, he therefore has to back a misguided, mishandled, military debacle born of a series of lies? I hate them ...

  • The loss of Zimbabwe and South Africa to the Reds . . .

    . . . compares favorably with the loss of Afghanistan, Tibet, Hong Kong, and China to the Socialist/Communist ideologues elsewhere. Of course, the Anglo-American world Realpolitik has suffered it's share of losses to Right Wing Ideologue regimes, as well. Look no further than France, Italy, and Iran among others. We could even mention America in ...

  • Too Broad A Brush Stroke, Archbishop

    The Archbishops use of Beth Din to justify sharia demonstrates his complete lack of understanding of Jewish Orthodoxy, and is, ultimately, an insult, to Judaism. Jews have always submitted to the law of the land where ever they migrated. The Orthodox take only religious matters to the Beth Din. If a mutilations, beatings or “honor crimes” were ...

  • 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.

  • My check is in the mail

    Thanks, Mr. Hitchens! My check, made out to the Ayaan Hirsi Ali Securitry Trust, is going out in the mail today. Let's do all we can to support this noble woman. I think it speaks volumes that she has chosen to live in the United States.

  • Racial superiority in Islam

    Hitchens in his article on Islamofascism writes: ''Technically, no form of Islam preaches racial superiority or proposes a master race.'' This is not entirely true. The notion of racial superirity was eliminated by Prophet Muhammad in his statements and also in the Quran, but within hours of his death, the doctrine of Meccan Arab superiority ...

  • Islamofascism

    The Fascist accepts life and loves it, knowing nothing of and despising suicide: he rather conceives of life as duty and struggle and conquest, but above all for others -- those who are at hand and those who are far distant, contemporaries, and those who will come after... So wrote Mussolini in his defintion of fascism, with which Giovanni ...

  • The Dutch gov has been paying for her protection

    Hirsi and Hitchens? Ecce quam bonum, et quam iucundum habitare fratres in unum, i.e. ''behold, how good and joyful a thing it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity.'' Ah, let us recall a few things, please: Ali did not legitimately receive Dutch citizenship, i.e. she gave false information about her real name, her age and the country ...

  • Rage boy

    Hi All, Let me first start by saying that although I do not agree entirely with all that he advocates, I highly respect Christopher Hitchins' thoughtful and incisive views and the objective, factual relevance of his arguments; not just on this issue but in the majority of his essays and books. In this mass media, technology age the ability to be ...
