  • 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 ...

  • Hitch On Helms like White on Rice

    Gee Hitchens, why don't you and the Queen of England tell us how you really felt about that North Carolinian champion Senator Jesse Helms? I did not know him very well, living in the Midwest among Chicago Democrats and Suburban ''Collar County'' Repubs early in life, and then moving to New England, where both the Democrats and the Republicans have ...

  • moral idiot much?

The history of civilization demonstrates something rather different: Judaeophobia is an unfailing prognosis of barbarism and collapse, and the states and movements that promulgate it are doomed to suicide as well as homicide, as was demonstrated by ...

  • 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 ...

  • Hitch, The Brits Started This Mess, Along With Reagan

    Christopher Hitchens engages in breathtaking and broad stroke, decades long perspective in cataloguing the burning of world war through the 20th Century, from the beginnings of World War One through World War Two through to the conclusion of the Cold War, to the collapse of the Berlin Wall. Yet he dates this Iraqi Twin War Conflict only to 2003? ...

  • Krebs Can't Shake Imperial Thinking

    It seems like so many pundits, thinkers, politicans, and leaders in America just can't shake the mindset that America must advance its interests abroad through conniving double talk, backstabbing hypocricy, and cutthroat manicheanism. Its like the abuser that beats his kids, realizes its wrong, but resorts back to beating them because it just ...

  • Re: moderation is extremism

    princesswonderful: we have to acknowledge that there is absolutely no earthly authority who can ideologically police actions which bear the marks of religious interpretation or carry a claim (however irrational by empirical standards) of divine mandate. moderate religious practice (of all faiths) only further entrenches the dangerously ...
