Heather McDonald has been steadfastly arguing over at NRO that political conservativism doesn’t need to have a God, and that in arguing the success of Judeo-Christianity, many religious conservatives may be confusing cause and effect (I think there’s a powerful Anglosphere angle here…). While I’m not a conservative, I agree with everything in this post.

How is Bush doing?

Not very well, according to Gerard Baker.

…the US could take the risk of alienating the world and discarding international law only if its leadership was going to be effective. Instead its leadership has been desultory and uncertain and tragically ineffective.

It tried unilateral pre-emption in Iraq, but never really had the will to see it through. So with Iran, it went all mushy and multilateralist. In Lebanon, it thought it would cover all the bases

A lot of Hollywood stars have actually publicly condemned Hezbollah and Hamas.

Hey, everybody’s got to be good at something:

A number of people have more than 500 arrests in the city of 226,000 people. The record was held by Edward Rooks, who died in 2004, with 652 arrests.

I think I see a candidate for president in ’08 that the “netroots” could really get behind. Hugh Hewitt talks about their latest hearthrob:

“Even before the translation could be heard, I felt more assured of his intelligence and comprehension than I’ve ever felt about Bush speaking in mangled English. He’s a very savvy politician, to be sure.”

And

“He is smart and is also media savvy or surrounded by people that are, as shown by the wardrobe, the mannerisms and likely even the pitch and tone of his chosen translator.”

And

“He certainly has some of the same comments and questions of bush that we do. He raised many good points.”

Plus, he’s all for destroying the Zionist Entity! What’s not to love?

Sarah Baxter, on the moral and intellectual confusion of the “anti-war” left (both “feminist” and otherwise).

The peace movement lost a foe in Reagan but has gone on to find new friends in today

I’m not sure what this means, but I think that Fidel is telling us that he’s kicked the bucket. Too bad it couldn’t have happened a lot sooner.
