Doesn’t it seem odd that the kids who started the 60s anti-establishment protest riots on college campuses with the Free Speech Movement (Berkeley, 1964) are the college professors or politicians today who most vehemently suppress free speech among their students or constituents in the name of political correctness?

How can this be? How can worshipping at the shrines of Diversity, Tolerance, and Multiculturalism result in trials and expulsions for students, or jail for citizens, who express ideas with which the worshippers are not in agreement?

The answer is the intimate connection between Subjectivism and Fascism.

Spike Lee took his cameras and crew to New Orleans to film a documentary about Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath. Unfortunately, the four-hour production, which aired on HBO, is about as destructive as was the disaster it depicts.

Earlier this summer, I thought that voters had decided that the Republicans deserved to lose but were not sure that the Democrats deserved to win, and that they were going to wait, as they did in the 1980 presidential and the 1994 congressional elections, to see if the opposition was an acceptable alternative. But events seem to have made that a harder sell for Democrats.

Some conservatives are alleging that the president suffers from an inability to communicate with the American people, and there may be some overrated truth to this. But in a news conference last Friday, we saw George W. Bush at his communicating best.

He certainly should be. This economy is the greatest story never told.

What kind of people provide a market for videotaped beheadings of innocent hostages? What kind of people would throw an old man in a wheelchair off a cruise liner into the sea, simply because he was Jewish? What kind of people would fly planes into buildings to vent their hate at the cost of their own lives?

These are the kinds of people we are talking about getting nuclear weapons.

We have always had our covert enemies, but their numbers were few until the 1960s. But then the elite young men who declined to serve in the military during the Vietnam War set out to write a narrative in which they, rather than those who obeyed the call to duty, were the heroes. They have propagated their ideas through the universities, the schools and mainstream media to the point that they are the default assumptions of millions.

Our covert enemies don’t want the Islamo-fascists to win. But in some corner of their hearts, they would like us to lose.

Marvin Olasky on the truly unbelievable revelations of Reuters, AP and other press agencies publishing hundreds of doctored photos to impugn Israel and promote Hesbollah. Does it seem sometimes that the media is rooting for the terrorists, Saddamites, et al.? Well guess what: they are.

Needless to say, the Dan Rather-ization of the media continues on unchecked. But people are beginning to realize it, it’s beginning to sink in, and in another decade, the “old media” may well be swept away.

In the meantime, read Olasky. You need to know.

There has been some fretting of late among Republicans that the death or fall of Castro would provoke a mass exodus of (conservative) Cuban-Americans from Florida, tipping this most divided of battleground states forever into the Dum column. Our own Jack Wheeler (whom the Washington Post has described as the architect of the Reagan Doctrine), describing his, er, unique trip to meet Fidel Castro shows why this — and a lot of other myths about the future of Cuba — isn’t so likely: Cubans, unlike Eastern Europeans, have been thoroughly ruined by Communism. A sad, but important, read.
