...Cross-cultural comparisons are odious, of course. The rioting French Muslims were largely poor, unemployed immigrants or the children of immigrants, familiar with anti-Arab stigma and no doubt aware that the number of fellow-believers in the French Assembly could be counted on one hand - with fingers left over. By contrast, the American Christians who responded "Christian first" are probably employed and ethnically unalienated (to put it politely). Far from being disenfranchised, they are an increasingly powerful voting bloc who - when they wanted to see their views better represented - elected and then re-elected a President...
...Pariser and the MoveOniks can't seem to get Bill Clinton's success out of their craw.

...stop short of denouncing their creators, Robert J. Zangrilli and David Z. Grey? Just as frat “brothers” have always found safety in numbers, these two hide their odious opinions behind the claim that they are being funny. They must be called to account. Zangrilli says that the shirts express an “extremist, primitive, and self-destructive” idea. So why express...
...Ghent University. "It gives them an excellent excuse to abandon more radical positions, then play the underdog to the voters by saying, 'We've been convicted for saying what you think.'" Such a makeover could help the party to solidify its support - without any real change in its odious message...
