Charles Krauthammer The Case of Mental Illness and Supreme Islam Hater


Fanatic Krauthammer

"It is worse than offensive. It is a conflation of American Muslims with al Qaeda - a conflation Bin Laden has been eager to establish for years. That Krauthammer and so many other conservatives simply assume this conflation is a real eye-opener for me. I thought they made a distinction between foreign Jihadists and American Muslims, were in fact proud of the way in which American Muslims have overwhelmingly rejected both the nihilism of Islamist violence but also the segregation of many Muslims in Europe".

It appears I was mistaken. The war, as they understand it, is one between the Judeo-Christian West and Islam as a whole. They have forgone Bush and Rice for Cheney and Falwell. And religious freedom? One more expendable principle in the pursuit of power through demagoguery.
So is Charles Krauthammer -- a bastion of right-wing deregulation and small government -- suggesting that the federal government should regulate religion? Weird. In this case, the federal government should, writes Krauthammer, overrule local zoning approval and negate the free exercise of religion. I've always thought that religious interference in secular government would lead to secular government interfering in religion. I just never thought such government interference would be promoted by conservatives.

Also, there was a tower at Gettysburg, but not on government property. It was there for many years, in fact, until the owner gave up and the eyesore was demolished. There are still tower-like observation platforms in three locations on the battlefield -- owned and operated by the National Park Service. Let's see. There's also a McDonalds, a Friendly's and a Hardees on the battlefield. There's a wax museum. There's a Holiday Inn on the site of some of the bloodiest fighting. There's a place called "General Picket's Bufffet" on the battlefield. There are a wide variety of souvenir stands, hotels, restaurants and toilets. On the battlefield. Should the government demolish it all? I say yes, but I'm sure Krauthammer would disagree with government interference in the free market.
