Entry: Who Speaks for Europe? (on the PC defenders of the West) Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/who_speaks_for_europe_on_the_pc_defenders_of_western_civilization#29108 Post contents: @Tom Piatak I agree that Bawer and Johnson have a strange idea of the West. Hedonist societies will always be doomed. Bawer isn't a hedonist, he's just a writer, who happens to be gay. Bawer is not advancing any revolutionary movements, just the right to be gay -- that's it. And, frankly, I don't see much wrong with that. I would be irritated at gay movements, if they kept bashing the West, while ignoring intolerance everywhere else. Bawer doesn't do that, he is equally critical of all intolerance of gays everywhere. He may be a liberal, but he's a consistent one. Charles Johnson OTOH, is a certifiable nutjob. I sometimes surf to his "news" site and especially the comments of his 'lizzard army' -- how pathetic -- just for my amusement. Also, his constant denouncements of AP, Reuters et all for supposed "anti-Semitism" or anti-Israel bias is pure comedy. And his commenters keep shouting: 'Yes Charles! You're right! Evil Reuters! Down with them!!" What loons, what hysteria.. My, my, may he never quit his work for all our amusement! Thus, I wouldn't compare him with Bawer at all. Johnson is against Islam, but he defames the only people who stand up to it. (Smart move, dude!) I'm not much of a fan of Vlaams Belang et al myself, but I don't see why they should be declared verboten, especially by some intellectually challenged Bushophile US-blogger. Paul Belien is a decent, worried man and he should be helped, not defamed. We're all in agreement that Islam would be a bad new fad for the West, let's agree on that. Sent at: 2008 12 02
