Edward Feser, Man is Wolff to Man<\/a>.  I was going to write this post, but Ed beat me to it.  Ed beats down the superannuated Wolff for boarding the bandwagon of benighted bashers of Nagel.  These lefties just can't stand Nagel even though he is a naturalist, an atheist, and a liberal.  Why? Because he is not an extremist like they are.  Because he could conceivably be interpreted by someone as giving aid and comfort to the enemy:  the theists.  For not toeing the party line.  For thinking for himself.  For being the Real Thing and not a leftist ideologue.  It is sad to see professional philosophy ideologized like this.  <\/p>\n

Kirsten Powers, A Global Slaughter of Christians<\/a>.  The 'religion of peace' is at it again.  But the PC-whipped churches stay silent.<\/p>\n

By the way, I admire the hell out of Kirsten Powers, even though she's a Dem (why Lord, why?): she has beauty, brains, and (the female equivalent of) balls.  And she puts up goodnaturedly with the sometimes obnoxious Bill O'Reilly.  But I admire the hell out of him as well.  That leftists despise a moderate such as him shows what contemptible extremists they are.<\/p>\n
