I pick that up to by the end of the 2nd paragraph and quit reading.
Nice objective article.
If Miss Odone thinks that Thomas Frank is a prescient writer, she has a lot of problems. Frank is the sociologist or something who couldn't understand why Kansans keep voting for Republicans. Apparently Miss Odone doesn't get it either. It's highly amusing to hear liberals on one hand call conservatives greedy, rapacious despoilers of the earth and then on the other call them obsessed with religion which values morality over filthy lucre. Well libs, which one is it?
"He is one man standing up to prevent his entire country from being destroyed over terrorism under tremendous opposition from all corners."
Abortion alone has murdered more Britons than will ever be killed by terrorists. Making war on terror is easy - it allows morally defective politicians to salve the bad consciences that result from their complicity in the genocide that goes on under our noses.
"If you choose to ignore the good done by this man, that is your choice."
Good? What is good? - killing people?
"I will take the opposite view, thank you."
That is your prerogative under the current relativist zeitgeist - the "right" to be wrong.
I see.
My assessment of G.W. AND Blair stands.
The Liberals' grouping of muslim fanatics with Christian morality-based politics is proof 'they dont get it'.
But it is fascinating that as usual, America leads the way.
Well said. I agree with you.
Three cheers for PM Tony Blair and GWB, 2 men of morals, faith and courage.
I do hope the moral uprising that swept America will also sweep Great Britain and the whole of Europe. Well, I can at least hope for Great Britain...
This article is the first mention I've heard of Tony Blair being overtly religious. Interesting.
Yes, I am nervous about the Muslims being included, too. Conservative, perhaps they are. "Demanding new rights" makes me VERY wary. Pagans have separate and mutually-exclusive goals all their own.
I think Rocco Buttiglione is a right and honorable man. I would also note that here in England the Catholic churchs generally are full every Sunday (and I'm in Brighton!) but the Anglican churchs (went to a few before I cottoned on that they were Anglican-Catholic!) tend to be empty or filled with only over 70s -- no young Anglicans in the churchs
Look how the MSM are lumping together Evangelical Christians and Muslims in Britain.
Yes, but this is the New Statesman. It's our equivalent to "The Nation".

Ugh. There ought to have been a "Barf Alert" then.
