Christopher Hitchens Puts Bill Maher in his Rightful Place


I recently watched this episode with Christopher Hitchens on the Bill Maher show and was impressed by Hitchens’ handling of Maher’s demagoguery, and especially with his handling of the intellectually infantile studio audience that Maher seems to attract. Fortunately somebody edited out the nonsense coming from the other guests so we could get the full flavor of Hitchens’ remarks and they are that much more powerful. I remember it was not that many years ago that I held Hitchens in low regard. He has come a long way from his pathetic days as a Marxist and has evolved into a powerful, clear- thinking intellectual.

  1. Alexis de Tocqueville was 'the best French intelligence to capture the essence of democracy' - with Frédéric Bastiat and Bertrand de Jouvenel. The funniest thing is: both they three didn't do it in their own land - Revolutionay France in XIX century was not the best place to raise a solid democracy.

    Samuel Huntington is too polite. 'Clash of Civilizations' is just an expression: there's nothing such as 'islamic civilization': this Clash of Cultures is the eternal Clash among Civilization and Barbarism.

    Michel Houellebecq said ALL THE AWFUL TRUTH: when the West opened its doors to the same barabarians which always fight against, "The Westers Civilization commted suicide."

    Golda Meir hit the target when precognized about the Muslins: "They only will make peace when they begin to love their chidren more than they hate us."

  2. My plan to kick off Muslins of the West:

    As in "Miami Vice" way, we could play fake roles as 'terror leaders conspirators' visiting every Muslim family in West; and in private, invitate them to 'do the Jihad' - blowing up themselves, shooting the crowds on streets, poisoning Water Reservoir cities - as some of them tried to do in London(istan) in 2005 - etc, in order to 'exterminate all the infidel population tomorrow'.

    All the Muslins who DON'T call Police and keep secret about the Jihad conspirace would be arrested and expatriated.

    Simple, doesn't it?

  3. As commented in my http://inferno_.blig.ig.com.br/

    about Daniel Pipes article on Ariel Sellouk, American Jew killed by his Muslim 'friend' Mohammed Ali Alayed:

    "It did only can be an tipically American Jew (80% Leftist, liberal, at least 75% Democrat voter, crazy Dhimmy) to run that suicidal life risc, standing friend of a Muslim.

    All for get clear he did have nothing against his fellow being a Muslim. Well, in the other hand, his friend had something against his friend being an American - and Jew. Nothing so fair as multilateralism, huh?

    Children, learn about that stupid dead lib: before 'tolerance' and 'relativism', there's the good old Natural Danger Instinct. In 2 words: multiculturalism kills.

  5. 9/11 shook him out of his stupor! He got to attacking his leftist comrades, he was so pissed at the anti-Americanism.
