Do Smart Guys Just Seem Crazy - Or Are They?

Glenn Reynolds has a quote from Walter Russell Mead that got our attention:
We worry about the end of the world. The Greeks worried about seeing their city burned, the men killed, the women and children forced into slavery. Their culture, their identity, their dignity, their rights: gone with the wind. Our fear seems detached from daily life; theirs was part of it.
This raises two questions related to NewAge spiritual, and religious, beliefs:

Who is this apocalyptic "we", and what does Mead mean, that such irrational fear "seems" crazy?

Love the graphic by the way, very cool.

Proof: The Democrats Are The Party Of The KKK



Yes, they were Dixiecrats, and now - like Global Warming became Climate Change - they've taken off the hoods and claim to be "progressive" (which, as we were reminded, is another word for Communist) but the old habits never die and, when faced with anyone they don't like, the words "Send him back to the fields" and "String him up!" ring loudly, and proudly, just like in the old days - and weren't those the days? To their credit, it seems Democrats will defend any race - whether it's whites or blacks - but they've got to have one so, by sight, they can know who else they'll be eliminating.

And the cry of "Revolution now - just like in Egypt!" makes a very nice bookend for Francis Fox Piven's supposedly-non-violent claim we should have “strikes and riots” in our streets - just like in Greece. Of course, between those bookends is a weird mixture of Communism, Naziism, and our old friend NewAge because, let's face it, all these folks are just being "nice".

At least that's their story, and they're stickin' to it.
