Entry: Neocons and the Left: Know Your Enemies Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/neocons_and_the_left_know_your_enemies#2495 Post contents: Kevin -- You sound like you're buying the neocon-liberal putdown of paleos. Does "petulant" criticism of Israel, mean the usual thing, that is, ANY criticism of Israel? Is the exploration of genetics automatically an "indecent" enterprise, as you suggest? I think it's a futile enterprise, given the mental conditioning of the general population. "M.S.S." claims that "Recognition is overdue that, in a society maintaining unemployment below 5%, the poor are not poor because they lack employment or suitable training for employment - they are poor because they lack the native intelligence, drive, or character to hold jobs or to manage their lives providently and prudently." After such data had been proven in genetic research, and widely publicized, who in this society would care about such facts? Wouldn't such information make most multicultural-oriented Americans feel even more sympathetic and open to serving this benighted population via government? And, given Professor Gottfried's observations about the Latino invasion and their growing influence on the left, I must disagree with him that "evidence of cognitive differences" would matter one twit or affect public policy. Recognizing the reality of the changing demographics, where would traditionalists get the power and influence to alter public policy based on such scientific data? Perhaps traditionalists don't fear being politically incorrect by ignoring this field; they just sense the futility of getting involved in it. Sent at: 2008 05 15
