Fantastic: The Varieties of Liberal Enthusiasm

This is a fine piece of work by the managing editor of the always fantastic City Journal.

It is a wonderful examination of the Cult of Obama, including a merciless look at the underlying white, liberal racism that is a very heavy factor in the adulation of the nobody from Chicago.

Most of the points are not new-but they are woven together in a way that is seamless and frightening.

Great Podcast from City Journal

If you don't read City Journal, you should. They always have excellent articles that are topical and interesting.

I am listening to a podcast right now and am really enjoying it-and I plan to look up the book as well.

For some reason, I can't cut and paste the link-so try this, and if it isn't working go to City Journal and hit the right nav bar under "Podcasts"-I'm listening to the one about Nazi propaganda in the Arab world.

The "Highly Unpalatable" and "Unacceptable" Stuff That Americans Should Be Talking About

A great review of two very important books by two ballsy ex-Muslim women.

The Great Dalrymple: A Modern Witch Trial

This is the incredibly inspiring and spirited Theodore Dalrymple on the modern witch trial, otherwise known as being accused of being "racist".

It is a must read from the ever amazing City Journal web site.

Dalrymple correctly notes that "racist" is a charge to which there is no defence. Reducto Ad Racisto is the sickening battlecry of the seething left and its unholy masses of jihadis and their enablers as they try to silence free speech and unpopular opinion.

"...the notion that racism is so pervasive and institutionalized that it is everywhere, even where it appears not to be, induces in the susceptible a paranoid state of mind, which then finds racism in every possible situation, in every remark, in every suggestion, in every gesture and expression. It is a charge against which there is no defense".

Read it all.
