Self-proclaimed similarities to a jackass The Right dances around trying to rationalize, for "pragmatic" reasons, an exemption for something we're not doing. We're here via the Insta-Echo chamber.

Really short on moral authority, but not words, he drags out Tancredo's dumb-ass proposal for bombing Moslem holy places. Never mind that it would accomplish little besides really pissin' off the rest of the Moslem world that is either neutral (by inaction) or favorable to our position: As their witless leader says, "bring 'em on". Lotsa pragmatism there, huh Sparky? All this because he doesn't want morals to get in the way of intellectual consideration of things. As much as they would like to give this a veneer of respectability or authority, it has all the deliberative weight of the morally arrogant, over-intellectualized ruminating of Leopold and Loeb.

Or is just that the thought of testicles wired up to electrodes turns you on, Sparky?  ¶ 11/23/2005 09:26:00 AM
