Or, at least that’s how I read it:

Only the males are killed in accordance with the rules,” said journalist Heba Nasreddin, while “the piglets and sows are hit with an iron bar and left to bleed to death.”

Despite nearly a dozen headlines proclaiming so, does any oxygen-rich thinker really think Obama’s truly sticking it to teachers’ unions by   backing measures that have a significant amount of support within the union itself?

If he really wanted to make the teachers’ unions sweat, he’d embrace their Public Enemy Number One–widespread adoption of revenue-grabbing school vouchers.  But he’s not.  He’s just writing legend with some token resistance to their status quo.

Rhetorical arguments that used to justify enhanced interrogation techniques in the War on Terror are now being employed in the debate over embryonic stem cell research, a promising if yet unproven field.

But they’re not coming from the right. They’re coming from the left. Proponents of embryo research are insisting that because we’re in a life-and-death struggle—in this case, a scientific struggle—anyone who impedes that struggle by renouncing effective tools is irrational and irresponsible. The war on disease is like the war on terror: Either you’re with science, or you’re against it.

We mused back then how an individual could simultaneously be repulsed by non-lethal interrogation techniques while supporting the intentional destruction of life.   Both could potentially save lives.  But only one already has–and it didn’t kill anything in the process.

Fareed Zakaria really earning his reputation:

Wherever it is tried—in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in parts of Nigeria and Pakistan—people weary of its [radical Islam] charms very quickly. The truth is that all Islamists, violent or not, lack answers to the problems of the modern world. They do not have a world view that can satisfy the aspirations of modern men and women. We do. That’s the most powerful weapon of all.

So head-to-head with western values, they cannot win.  Brilliant analysis, Newseek!  We’re all saved!  Well, all of us except the poor Sri Lankan cricket team visiting Pawk-i-stan yesterday.

People have been getting so weary of radical islam’s charms. . . they’ve been unable to shake free from its yoke for more than a thousand years.  Even with the unpleasant headchopping, stoning, and honor murders!   I can almost see a Sharia-bound Zakaria fomenting dissent and organizing rebellion among subjugated Muslims “weary” of the tired and inffective doctrine of strict Sharia governance.

This kind of radicalism prevents the repressed from resisting on their own accord, and I believe history shows that the only force capable of protecting the human rights of people captive to medieval, radical Islamism is external antagonism.

Although Rick Warren’s appointment to provide the invocation at Obama’s ascension inaguaral has drawn mass bellyaching from the left, it wasn’t that long ago that progressives were trying to nail him with the same guilt-by-association tactics they wet their panties over in the Bill Ayers-Obama saga.

Regarding the 2006 attempt to link a violent videogame to the Rick Warren empire:

What is going on here is an old fashioned business idea of endorsement by association, in which a corporation gains the implied endorsement of a product by being able to invoke the name brand of a prominent person or celebrity. In this case, this is an alliance of business and ministerial interests invoking the name brand of the Mr. Warren’s Purpose Driven Church. Mr. Warren does not have to explicitly endorse or be involved in the product in order to be held accountable for allowing his name brand to be used in the selling of this antisocial product.

Some people have commented that the link between Mr. Warren’s purpose driven empire and this product is casual. Let’s be clear: Mark Carver is Executive Director of the Purpose Driven Church, and therefore works directly for Mr. Warren in one of the most senior roles in his empire. It would seem unlikely that Mr. Warren, who plans an international stealth evangelism campaign that already includes the president of Rwanda, is unaware of this project, the biggest Christian video game in history. Mr. Carver’s role on the Advisory Board of Left Behind Games, the corporation created in October 2001 specifically to develop and market this violent video game, is an association clearly more active than a casual. People are involved on this Advisory Board because of their expertise, and their connections to markets – in this case, Mr. Warren’s. On its corporate web site — part of its merchandising pitch — Left Behind Games touts its association with Mr. Carver, and makes clear his prominent role in Mr. Warren’s Purpose Driven Church.

So hey, your associations DO matter, and the intellectual discourse you exchange with your colleagues DOES have a marked influence on personal decision making.  And your involvement — however indirect –  implies endorsement of the goal.  Who could deny such logic?  Well, in respect to the Obama-Ayers relationship, just about every Democrat.

Had it been released a year earlier, this videogame could very well have been blamed for the 2005 Atlanta courthouse shootings which left several dead.  But it wasn’t.  Instead, Brian Nichols–the convicted gunman who was sentenced this week to eternity in prison–was persuaded by his next possible victim to end his killing spree partly because of Rick Warren’s message.

Them stealth evangelists–better watch out for ‘em.  They might save your miserable life.

Obama’s inaugural choice sparks outrage.

But he appeared so ‘thoughtful’ and ‘cautious’ during the campaign!

C’mon, it’s a petty gift to the right showing that Obama will lead a balanced administration with fair-minded mentality.  These harmless, non-political situations will keep coming, and they will be described as–you guessed it–’thoughtful’ and ‘cautious’.  The reality is that he’s already the most compromised PE we ever had, and he has little choice.

Chopra: Attack prompts tough questions (insane relativism in bold below)

Chopra: I think Mr. Obama has a real opportunity here, but a challenging opportunity, a creative opportunity.

Get rid of the phrase “war on terrorism.” Ask for a creative solution in which we all participate.

King: Is it because the war on terrorism really can never be won because the terrorists (inaudible)?

Chopra: Because it’s an oxymoron. It’s an oxymoron, Larry, a war on war, a war on terrorism.

You know, terrorists call mechanized death from 35,000 feet above sea level with a press of a button also terror. We don’t call it that, because our soldiers are wearing uniforms. They don’t see what is happening, and innocent people are being killed. So, you know, terror is a term that you apply to the other.

King: Thanks, Deepak Chopra, as always, extraordinarily enlightening.

I dunno but calling a preventive and retributive war against terrorist organizations and their sponsors actually sounds like a ‘War on Terrorism’.

We heard some of the same nonsense in the middle years of the conflict in Iraq (and to some extent in Afghanistan)–if you posture against terrorism, it will only inflame the hurt egos of the jihad and rally their unwitting but not unwilling allies in Western politics.   Doesn’t matter if the jihad itself is an artificially generated phenomena, fashioning both violence and extreme anti-Western misinformation as both its technique and its excuse, and whose sympathizers consider it some noble sort of grassroots political phenomena that deserves all of the plaudits of false moral relativism.
