Where did I mention cartoons? Rose goes beyond the cartoons to look at Europe's failing culture.
From Rose's article:
An unholy three-cornered alliance between Middle East dictators, radical imams who live in Europe, and Europe's traditional left wing is enabling a politics of victimology....The role of victim is very convenient because it frees the self-declared victim from any responsibility, while providing a posture of moral superiority.
And victimology is not confined to Europe. Did you hear that Canadian bookstores refused to carry the June issue of Harper's Magazine for fear of offending Muslims?
"The role of victim is very convenient because it frees the self-declared victim from any responsibility, while providing a posture of moral superiority."
I haven't read the article yet, but I will, ASAP!
The "victimology" statement is such an astute observation. All failed societies, from the postmodernist crowd of all sorts to Islam use it as an excuse.
Anything is preferable than looking the facts straight in the eye.
Wrong again Duncy the problem with Europe is they did not move to deal with the criminal vestiges of Communism in Europe. The criminals changed their labels and are still working to destroy their host countries.
Communists are like cancer in that you need to destroy the host to survive. Revolutionary defeatism has been the motto of the day since Lennin who colaberated with the WWI Germans to ensure the defeat of his own country.
The best policy is for a rational look at Communism. Communists have by the nature of their history have established probable cause for surveilance. Communist who violate US law like the CPT and ISM members should be sent to GITMO or permanently stripped of Citizenship and sent to North Korea
or Cuba with no possibility of a pardon.
Europe is going down the toilet. Sovereign states are afraid to fly their own flags because it might offend Muslims: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3258613,00.html
