Charles Krauthammer Is...
... exactly right.
Confronting the Zeitgeist one day at a time
Please know that you are always welcome here. This is a safe place.
Turning and turning in the widening gyre/ The falcon cannot hear the falconer;/ Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;/ Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,/ The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere/ The ceremony of innocence is drowned;/ The best lack all conviction, while the worst/ Are full of passionate intensity.Surely some revelation is at hand…
–W.B. Yeats, "The Second Coming"

Krauthammer lists,
"soft lies..." "false equivalencies..." "moral abdication..." "a disturbing ambivalence toward one's own country..."
"Moral ambivalence" is the best we can expect from a liberal mind steeped in the Jerimiah Wright school of America bashing. Modern liberals appear to go to great lengths to avoid being called judgemental. Avoiding judgement is moral abdication. Combine ambivalence and abdication and you get what I call "Capitulation in Cairo."
TUP,
"Capitulation in Cairo." Cool.
I liked this quote regarding the Cairo speech..."The problem facing international security is that people who believe something will always be stronger and more committed than people who believe nothing -- which unfortunately describes the complacent passivity of most Western intellectuals these days." - Camille Paglia
Karen L,
That DOES describe things quite well. Thanks for sharing that.
