The NARAL ad slandering John Roberts was taken off their website sometime yesterday, and NARAL has announced that it is withdrawing the ad altogether as soon as the substitute ad is produced and made available. The reason is that the...

Claim: Muslims Had Nothing to Do with 9/11; Dirty Zionist Hands Behind It

This guy shows apparent evidence that he lives on some other planet since he's describing something that has no resemblance to any reality on Terra.

"Our enemies weave many lies about us, which we are not necessarily aware of. For example: One day, we awoke to the crime of 9/11, which hit the tallest buildings in New York, the Empire State Building [sic]. There is no doubt that not a single Arab or Muslim had anything to do with these events. The incident was fabricated as a pretext to attack Islam and Muslims. The plan was to take over the world's energy sources, and to achieve this control by force and not by agreement or negotiations, by interests, free trade, or anything like that. This is what they wanted. "So this incident was fabricated - and Allah knows that the Arabs and Muslims are innocent of it - in order to serve as a pretext to attack Islam and the Muslims.

Seriously though folks, the Chief doesn't know whish is worse: that he believes this is true, or that he knows it isn't. If he believes it is true, then the man, apparently a person of some stature in the mid-east, is a total psychopath with a view of reality that has no resemblance to anything true. If he doesn't actually believe what he's saying, it's even worse, for then he must have grounds for thinking that there is a significant audience out there that DOES think this alternative version of reality is true.

In either event, there's no rationality, and certainly no basis for any sort of meaningful compromises.

Mainstreamers have lost their way

A couple of opEds from the RC Journal here and here express some thoughts similar to a comment the Chief posted a while back on the same topic. Akers' double-barrel blast was especially on target in a number of respects.

Moderates accommodate evil (the mainstream coalition advocates "tolerance and compassion for all"). They avoid decisions. Whenever you hear a politician say we have to let the courts decide issues like abortion and gay marriage, you're listening to a moderate. Prior to the Iraq war and World War II, moderates sought to avoid decisions by giving sanctions or diplomacy more time to work.

The Mainstream Coalition was about as bold as you'd expect a bunch of moderates to be in crafting their list their principles. They're for human rights, religious freedom and quality education, against saying mean things about homosexuals and racial minorities, against candidates who lie about their beliefs, and against requiring office-holders to belong to a particular religion. This would only matter if anyone with power or influence were taking the opposite position on these things, and none are.

The Mainstreamers should add a little to their statement that a quality education is the cornerstone of freedom and democracy. Along with quality education, you need guns, a constitution, ammunition, private property, citizens who know how to use guns, judges who follow the constitution, gun factories and a separation of powers. And maybe a few more guns. You need one more thing. A moral population. A religious citizenry.

On target!

As far as the virtues of "moderation" go, two thoughts:
(1) Moderation in defense of freedom is no virtue, extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. (Goldwater)
(2) ref: Revelation 3:16.

The worst thing that the Party of the Second Part can come to believe about an election is that the Party of the First Part won because it cheated. This is true even when the winner did cheat, and even...

The extent of the damage done by NARAL's slanderous ad against John Roberts is much greater than I would have predicted at the outset. It has undermined one of the Democrat's most cherished conceits: that the other side is the...
