[National Post] In defense of atheism - Full Comment: On Tuesday, my colleague Jonathan Kay criticized the controversial new breed of militant-atheist intellectuals that has suddenly shot to prominence in a world where the discussion of religion has gained a terrible new political urgency. Taking the British biologist Richard Dawkins as their leader and model, he called them “atheistic jihadis.” It would be unfair to take too much umbrage at a metaphor, but surely it is somewhat damaging to Jon’s case for the permanence and value of religious faith that this creates such a bizarre mental image.

[Indiana Barrister] Bang! Bang! Behney! | Indiana Barrister: I wonder where the ethics of Libertarians arise and upon what basis they are founded, if any. All agree that they are aggressive about the lack of ethics in government but would probably like to see some religious values in any ethics laws like, "Thou shalt not steal anymore from the public", or, "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods".

[The Possum Box] Australian attack bloggers and the Overton Window « The Possum Box: Ever since it was raised in a post on Daily Kos (which in turn was picking up on a post from a Libertarian think-tank) it’s been provoking discussion among the netroots. The basic proposition on Kos was this: while the Democrats are still playing to the essentially 1990s strategy of triangulation for the centre, Republicans and their fellow-travellers are constantly working to shift that centre by articulating extreme views that expand and change the limits of political acceptability.”

[John Quiggin] John Quiggin » Bookblogging: Privatization (Part 2): I think this view is held by many libertarian ‘thinkers’, and by many of the minority non-knuckle dragging caste of their followers. What is interesting is the arguments they use for a more public audience are quite different from what they say amongst the true believers.

[Armed and Dangerous] Armed and Dangerous » Blog Archive » Alzheimer's and Herpes: (Don’t have a source at hand - a fairly reliable investment advisor, Mark Skousen said it.)

[Armed and Dangerous] Armed and Dangerous » Blog Archive » I have received a death threat: The the front of the war is those who - possibly exactly due to these problems in Western culture - think the Western culture is worthless and seek to destroy it: Muslim extremists, and those extreme moonbats who call themselves left-wing in the US and Western Europe and call themselves right-wing here in Eastern Europe but both of them sport a quite direct anti-globalisation, anti-consumerism, anti-business, anti-modernity behaviour. The problem is that they want to throw the baby out with the water: by attacking westernism as a single entity, they are also attacking the merits of it: human rights, liberty, democracy, equality and so on.

[CNN Political Ticker] CNN Political Ticker: All politics, all the time Blog Archive ...: The "middle" in this country has been pulled so far to the right that the Democratic party, leadership has become DINO by acquiescing to the so called "moderates"….In truth, the power centers of the party as it stands, are the same as the Republican party minus the fundamentalist Christian extremists. They are warmongering corporate shills.

U.S. military spending this year is estimated at $925 billion, a figure that doesn’t include funding for the U.S. occupation of Iraq and the even more costly and escalating war in Afghanistan.

[Armed and Dangerous] Armed and Dangerous » Blog Archive » Oderint, dum metuant: As for animal tests, I have some friends who are quite activist against it and they showed me shocking stuff, like simple basic cosmetical stuff like body lotions injected into the eyes of animals to check out what happens, and if they *only* get half-blind through immense suffering then it’s considered safe regarding the casual human use where only a lot smaller quanity gets occasionally into the eye. If it would be this way, it would be a moral duty to oppose it.
