…he will become more powerful than you imagine.
I’m not a Bill Maher fan, but at least, unlike much of the left, he’s willing to be an equal-opportunity religion basher.

A Quarter Of A Century After The Fall Of The Wall
Germany remains divided. History can remain destiny for a long time.
How We Won In Vietnam
…but are losing at home.
The Middle East
…is returning to ins natural state.
The borders were always arbitrary, imposed from outside, which is the only way that it could have been done. This is truly the end of colonialism. Sadly, what will follow will almost certainly be worse.
Deployed Nuclear Warheads
Russian now has more that the US.
Well, that’s what Obama wanted.
Female Genital Mutilation
Is it an African problem, or an Islamic problem? Of course, some multi-cultis would say it’s not a problem at all.
“Workplace Violence”
If we won’t call things by their proper names, it’s impossible to fight them.
Hispanics Converting To Islam
Sorry, but I think these people are fools. When I see a women in a hijab, I don’t “respect them first.” I pity them.

What Sam Harris gets wrong about Islam.
I would note that I’d bet a lot of money that the people shooting up Ottawa right now aren’t Lutherans.
Veils And “Circumcision”
I agree with Glenn: “Personally, I favor cultural imperialism. And for immigrants, displays of cultural submission.”
Democracy, multi-culturalism, immigration. Pick any two.
The Problem With Ebola
It isn’t the virus, it’s the incompetence. Not to mention the venality.
[Update late morning]
Amazingly, left-blogger Atrios (aka Duncan Black) agrees:
Ultimately the point is that as of now, Ebola is a small problem in the United States overall, if a very serious problem for the people infected by it, and we have failed to deal with this small problem. The lack of clearly established systematic responses to potential deadly disease outbreaks is extremely worrying. If a genuine epidemic occurs, there’s no reason to think the response will be any better.
At least as of now, there’s no reason to be frightened of Ebola. Turn off cable news and go about your day. A small number of infected people is not an epidemic. But there is reason to be frightened of the apparent inability of our institutions to deal with an actual epidemic, or true national emergencies of any kind.
Yes. As has been pointed out ad infinitum. when the government (and particularly the federal government) tries to do too many things, it ends of doing none of them well.
