[VDARE.com - Latest Articles] 08/31/01 - Weigh Anchor! Enforce the Citizenship Clause: While we might criticize the 36th Congress for poor drafting, it does not make sense to say that the drafters of the essentially simultaneously enacted Civil Rights Act of 1866 and 14th Amendment meant to create two different standards for U.S. citizenship. The dissenters also noted, correctly, that there is nothing in the wording of the Citizenship Clause or the Civil Rights Act of 1866 that limits the application of the “subject to the jurisdiction thereof/not subject to any foreign power” language only to diplomats or other accredited representatives of foreign governments.

[City Journal] Forgiveness and Irony by Roger Scruton, City Journal Winter 2009: y answer is yes, it is worth defending, but only if we recognize the truth that the present conflict with Islamism makes vivid to us: citizenship is not enough, and it will endure only if associated with meanings to which the rising generation can attach its hopes and its search for identity.

He also admits (implicitly) that his “ideological” message has no ability to convince human beings in general and Muslims in particular, to follow his teachings and respect taboos, without an approach of persecution, intimidation and threatening.

[3quarksdaily] Humane Terror, Sacrificial Horror: Suicide Bombing and ...: Since Muslim militancy has arisen in the wake of such movements, “[it] derives much of its rhetorical charge by partaking of their effects.”[14] Adverting to the writings of philosopher Karl Jaspers, Devji maintains that sacrifice, though not political in any normative sense, “serves as an invitation to a politics of the future.”[15] For Jaspers, as for Devji, Gandhi is the principal exponent of modernity’s sacrificial logic, even though his practice of it predated the Cold War. This logic, so Jaspers suggests, is suprapolitical because it is purposefully withdrawn from institutional politics and therefore also from political rationality.[16] Gandhian sacrifice was not only disinterested, but also outside “the chain of cause and effect that binds all political calculation” and stripped of all instrumentality.[17] It was the suffering of Gandhi’s body which became the focal point of an ethical investment by his followers and the condition for the possibility of a transformation in politics (from Crown rule to independence).

Since the gravity coupling actually remains small at high energies and small distances, and since it is powering the cosmological acceleration, we can see why the mainstream assumption that gravity is enhanced by a factor of 1040 at the smallest distances causes the mainstream estimate of cosmological acceleration/dark energy to be too high (another error, albeit a smaller one, in the mainstream calculation is their assumption of the Planck scale as the grain size or cutoff wavelength instead of the black hole event horizon size, which is smaller and more meaningful physically than the bigger length given by Planck’s arbitrary dimensional analysis).
