As for "killer reviews," those can't be avoided. In fact, however, disparaging or discouraging book reviews have a tendency to work the opposite effect in this PC culture: they alert potential readers that your work is not PC, and consequently and potentially better reading than what establishment critics recommend. Face it: We live in a culture that is hostile to reason and all esthetic values. You will need the courage and fortitude to fight on. Jon Stewart mocked Fawstin's graphic comic idea, but that won't diminish their appeal.Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-83196304917115507052011-03-20T08:05:18.636-04:002011-03-20T08:05:18.636-04:00It was really nice seeing your mention of Pigman. ...It was really nice seeing your mention of Pigman.

Please go to http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ <br /> At this site, the Muslim immigrant is compared to a Christian woman in Pakistan who had horrible things done to her by Muslims. Instead of complaining, the immigrant Muslim woman should have asked for forgiveness for the terrible things that are perpetrated against intensely hated non-Muslims in Muslim countries.<br /><br />Non-Muslims suffer severe persecution and live in daily fear in Muslim countries, yet they are ignored by Western leaders who much prefer to import massive numbers of Muslims.Linda Riveranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-50013134329415774822011-03-19T10:11:34.355-04:002011-03-19T10:11:34.355-04:00Mr. Greenfield:
I thoroughly enjoy your columns. ...Mr. Greenfield:<br /><br />I thoroughly enjoy your columns. We are, more often than not, on the same intellectual and moral page. I have just finished reading your August 2010 piece, “The Towers of Barbarism.” If you read fiction (and I cannot imagine when you would find the time, your commentaries are models of essay-writing which I know take time to research and compose), you might be interested in my suspense novel, “We Three Kings,” in which an American entrepreneur is pitted against a Saudi sheik, and the State Department, in the name of “amicable relations,” gives the sheik carte blanche to deal with the American as he pleases – in this country. The Kindle link is here. http://www.amazon.com/Three-Kings-Merritt-Fury-ebook/dp/B003YXXKP2/ref=sr_1_cc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300543420&sr=1-1-catcorr<br /><br />In the meantime, great work. I have been recommending your pieces on Facebook and elsewhere.Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-42280355531349827912011-03-19T09:38:49.909-04:002011-03-19T09:38:49.909-04:00It’s interesting that the UN that had little to sa...It’s interesting that the UN that had little to say about the 1988 Lockerbie-Pan Am terrorist bombing, ordered by Kaddafi (among other of his depredations), is now in a panty twist about his “brutality” and disregard for “human rights,” whatever they are. Frankly, I see no difference between Kaddafi and the “rebels.” Let me put it this way: Has one individual emerged from the Egyptian, Tunisian, Yemeni, or Libyan “revolutions” who, in word and deed, bears the slightest resemblance to Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, or James Madison? Where is the Muslim “revolutionary” who has proclaimed, “We hold these truths to be self-evident…that man has inviolate rights to life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness….”? Sure, the MSM shows interviews of Libyan rebels mugging for a Western news camera and say, “That Kaddafi, he is a cruel man, he persecuted people, and robbed us, he’s got to go.” To which any in-the-field reporter should ask, “And what do you propose to replace him with?” but never does. His assumption is that they’re fighting for “democracy.”<br /> <br />But what is democracy but mob rule? Neither the etymology of the term nor the meaning nor the practice of that idea has changed in 2,500 years. It still means the legalized lynching of whoever or whatever the mob has decided to turn against: Danish cartoonists, smokers, gun-owners, freedom of speech advocates, Jews, tax protesters, and on and on.<br /><br />Muslims, for example, are very democratic: they are unanimous in their conviction that Shariah law is the only true moral model. They are so convinced of this that their more activist “brothers” are willing to kill you over it, and their stealthier brothers are willing to suborn your secular judiciary over it. "Democracy is what happened to Lara Logan in Cairo. It mattered not that she was attacked by pro- or anti-Mubarak celebrants. She was raped and brutalized by an ideology.<br /> <br />The farce in the UN is too surreal to even comment on, given that the UN is truly a club of dictatorships that ought to have been summarily “defunded” and evicted from these shores half a century ago. But that would have been taking Ayn Rand’s advice seriously, by stopping the support of our own destroyers. It would have been an advance in intellectual maturity as impossible to Eisenhower era policymakers as it is to policymakers today of either party.<br /> <br />As for the TSA and its policy of child-groping (and also adult-groping), I stopped flying years ago. The TSA is as superfluous as it is invasive. It has not stopped a single terrorist act, and never will. Like any bureaucracy, it has a vested interest in self-perpetuation and guaranteed employment. I cannot even stand watching these uniformed troglodytes searching passengers without my blood pressure rising to dangerous levels. I simply want to jump the rope and lay into them, regardless of gender. Aside from the issue of these creatures confiscating millions of dollars in personal property from passengers (where does it all go? To federal auctions? To the homes of the trogs?), the TSA is racking up as perfidious a reputation as the Catholic church’s for its sexual transgressions, and for its just plain police state nastiness. Unfortunately, Americans have become “conditioned” to tolerate it. Me? I’m on the TSA’s “No Fly” list.<br /> <br />This is not the world I was born into. It has become less and less inhabitable.Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-36044493846449877442011-03-18T22:40:19.105-04:002011-03-18T22:40:19.105-04:00I too was dismayed by the number of "anti-jih...I too was dismayed by the number of "anti-jihadists" who insisted that Trifkovic's comments were really unexceptionable. I think the following is the best part of your reaction:<br /><br /><i>What is more important is that Marx or Freud did not emerge out of some Hebraic vacuum. They were part of European intellectual milieu and while they may have been forerunners, their ideas emerged from existing European intellectual trends and merged into existing European trends. This is undeniable to anyone familiar with the European history of the last few centuries. To believe otherwise is to endorse some Jewish conspiracy</i><br /><br />Exactly. It is somewhat disheartening that so many of the people commenting on the anti-jihad websites are so little versed in European history that they couldn't immediately see Trifkovic's vicious nonsense for what it is. And these people claim to want to "defend the West."lava snithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02282195613450042091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-8187896368988144212011-03-18T20:01:12.136-04:002011-03-18T20:01:12.136-04:00Thank you very much Sultan - it's been a pleas...Thank you very much Sultan - it's been a pleasure, as always. I'm very glad my thinking is not too far off, and an even greater pleasure to find someone I nearly always agree with: there are so many days I wonder if maybe I have become delusional, while everyday life around me is placidly going on, as if nothing at all is the matter. <br />Happy Purim!westerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743621412192980274noreply@blogger.com
