"Head in the Sand Liberals"
Sam Harris, pointing out he's a dyed-in-the-wool liberal and reminding us he's no fan of the Bush administration, writes an important piece today in the LA Times skewering the liberal dogma that "Western power is utterly malevolent, while the powerless people of the Earth can be counted on to embrace reason and tolerance, if only given sufficient economic opportunities":
...my correspondence with liberals has convinced me that liberalism has grown dangerously out of touch with the realities of our world — specifically with what devout Muslims actually believe about the West, about paradise and about the ultimate ascendance of their faith. On questions of national security, I am now as wary of my fellow liberals as I am of the religious demagogues on the Christian right.
Read the whole thing. H/T: Gadsden Flag.
