Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Support The Revolution – “The normally insane Glenn Beck has come completely unspooled, casting the revolution as a Marxist/Islamist team-up to establish a Caliphate. (Marx wrote a lot on that.)”
- Zombie Lie: Right Still Clinging To Decade-Old Fabrication About Radicalized Mosques | Media Matters for America – This needs to be cited every time this “80% of mosques are controlled by radicals” canard is brought up.
- This is not the post I wanted to write – “If you look around the world, abortion rates are lowest not where abortion is illegal, but where contraception is widely available and there is social pressure to use it.” Abortion is so contentious because it is a combination of arguments over life vs death, and over freedom vs tyranny … but also over man vs woman, and sexuality vs chastity. But speaking purely pragmatically, if “pro-life” forces were willing to do whatever it took to remove the demand side of abortion (rather than fighting against the supply side), I think they’d draw less fire and likely be more effective.

Interesting. Albeit 4 years old (and via News Corp).
