		<description><![CDATA[&quot;So, yes, I wonder whether I need honor these people and pretend that they are worthy of the privileges of the First Amendment, which I have in my gut the sense that they will abuse.&quot; 
 
I don&#039;t read that as a call to suppress another&#039;s free speech. He&#039;s just musing out loud about the irony that people who have a hidden agenda to promote their brand of intolerance (sharia law) can do so by exploiting first amendment rights in a free society (&quot;a right they will abuse&quot;). These people may not be &quot;worthy&quot; of the right, despite the fact that their right cannot be challenged constitutionally. It&#039;s a moral argument, not a legal one. Amazing how Peretz is being bullied by his enemies into conceding the underlying intent of his nuanced observation. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marty Peretz is doing nothing unusual but taking the normal position of liberals that if they don&#039;t like what you are saying, maybe you shouldn&#039;t have the right to say it.  I find nothing admirable about that attitude.  It is revealing of the totalitarian nature of leftists.  
 
I think where David finds empathy with Peretz is not in what he said, but the flogging he is getting from the left which David has shared.    ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think the point of the &#039;muslim life is...&#039; quote is to bring attention to the disregard so many of the active muslim groups (Hamas, Hezbollah, Saddam Hussein&#039;s Irag, Assad&#039;s Syria, a quaida, etc...) 
 
DO have a disregard for human life.  They DO recruit people to blow up themselves and other muslims and then these murderers are celebrated as heroes by their community.  Streets are named after them.  they are cited in children&#039;s textbooks as role-models. 
 
This element of extremist islam is despicable and we, all of us who actually care about people and human life, need to draw attention to this horrible ideology. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First off, the term &quot;libertarian dictatorship&quot; is an oxymoron.  Apart from that, I find it interesting that you came up the formulation that a person either &quot;support freedom or you get thrown in jail.&quot;  Only a supporter of radical Islam, with it&#039;s contempt for freedom, could concoct something so ridiculous.  Much like their soul mates on the far left, practitioners of radical Islam reject human nature and the yearning to be free.  Again, like the far left, enforcement comes in the form of brutality. 
If you&#039;re a freedom loving Muslim who has no use for the more radical elements of your religion, then grow a pair and stand up for your religion and your freedom.  That&#039;s what the rest of us are waiting for from so-called moderate Muslims.  Your enemy isn&#039;t Christians and Jews, its the radical elements within your own faith. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Must I be tolerant of the intolerant? Why should I care about people who only mean me harm? Why should I allow a mosque to built in my country when they do not allow my church to be built in Saudi Arabia? Should emancipated Western women support Sharia? At what point have I eaten enough feces from Muslims? ]]></description>

Why not set up a libertarian dictatorship where either you support freedom or you get thrown in jail? Nothing Orwellian about that at all. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I must concur, at least, with you. Here in the West, &quot;&lt;i&gt;progress&lt;/i&gt;&quot; implies &lt;i&gt;improvement&lt;/i&gt;. Improvement implies making something &quot;,i&gt;better&lt;/i&gt;.&quot; So two questions: 
1. &lt;i&gt;Better&lt;/i&gt; is the &lt;b&gt;comparative&lt;/i&gt; form of &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt;: Thus Ayn Rand&#039;s question, &quot;Good? By what standard?&quot; (i.e.: In whose perspective?) 
2. Better? Than?

		<description><![CDATA[I find it a bit ironic that Marty Peretz is being touted as some hero of free speech, when the comment that got him in hot water in the first place involved him calling for muslims to be silenced and denied their first amendment &quot;privileges&quot;. 
&quot;frankly, Muslim life is cheap, most notably to Muslims. And among those Muslims led by the Imam Rauf, there is hardly one who has raised a fuss about the routine and random bloodshed that defines their brotherhood. So, yes, I wonder whether I need honor these people and pretend that they are worthy of the privileges of the First Amendment, which I have in my gut the sense that they will abuse.&#8221; 
Funny, Horowitz seems to have left that last part out.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nature is cyclical and we are of nature. We&#039;re not headed anywhere in particular as a species and it&#039;s a dangerous notion to think so, for fear scary leaders arise and decide where we&#039;re going for us. We&#039;ve long known how that story ends. Without this particular mirage tempting us, we must consider what truly is the best we can do within the time allowed and resources available. Maybe more modest and thus achievable goals that don&#039;t backfire spectacularly would be a good place to start.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#039;ve been wondering about the notion of a modest return to a dark age. It occurs to me that a dark age doesn&#039;t mean a decline all the way back to the caves, but rather is relative to the advancements made since the last one. Two steps forward, one back. 
But conservatives should consider this possibility. One of the mirages of the progressive movement is the very notion that we as a species are &quot;progressing&quot; in some direction. Is more technology a progressive thing, or is it merely neutral? Guns and cellphones, which is worse? The deaths via war in the 20th should put an end to that notion, but it hasn&#039;t. We&#039;re mortals. We don&#039;t live forever. Therefore, we have no need or imperative or mandate to create a heaven on earth, a paradise, a eutopia, because we&#039;re not around long enough to see it through.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;ve long admired Mr. Peretz as well and have always been surprised to find him writting for The New Republic, which I understand was, and still is, like The Nation, a long-time fellow traveler hand-in-glove with the worst governments and most brutal dictators of all time. The fact that more people died during wars in the 20th century than in every previous century combined, wars largely brought on by the massive and continuing deception of communism/socialism/and-its-timid-but-persistent-and-perhaps-even-more-ominous-little-brother/liberalism, is lost on these people. That Europe is folding its socialist experiment in the full light of day as Obamageddon and Co push on with their lame pursuit of same...what words can explain this blind spot?
