(AP) A man who survived the Holocaust as a boy by hiding in basements and attics urged a group of countries on Wednesday to speed the opening of millions of files on Nazi concentration camps and their victims.

Bostock on a subject that’s been responsible for several highly contentious threads at LGF: <a href='http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/11/13/AR2008111303347.html?nav=rss_opinion/columns' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Free the GOP</a>. Subtitled: “The Party Won’t Win Back the Middle as Long As It’s Hostage to Social Fundamentalists.”</p> <blockquote><p>Four years ago ... our central thesis was simple: The Republican Party had been taken hostage by “social fundamentalists,” the people who base their votes on such social issues as abortion, gay rights and stem cell research. Unless the GOP freed itself from their grip, we argued, it would so alienate itself from the broad center of the American electorate that it would become increasingly marginalized and find itself out of power.</p> <p>At the time, this idea was roundly attacked by many who were convinced that holding on to the “base” at all costs was the way to go. A former speechwriter for President Bush, Matthew Scully, who went on to work for the McCain campaign this year, called the book “airy blather” and said its argument fell somewhere between “insufferable snobbery” and “complete cluelessness.” Gary Bauer suggested that the book sounded as if it came from a “Michael Moore radical.” National Review said its warnings were, “at best, counterintuitive,” and Ann Coulter said the book was “based on conventional wisdom that is now known to be false.” ...</p> <p>In seven of the nine states that switched this year from Republican to Democratic, Obama’s vote total exceeded the total won by President Bush four years ago. So even if McCain had equaled the president’s numbers from 2004 (and he did not), he still would have lost in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina and Virginia (81 total electoral votes) — and lost the election. McCain didn’t lose those states because he failed to hold the base. He lost them because Obama broadened his base.</p> <p>Nor did the Republican ticket lose because “values voters” stayed home. On the contrary, according to exit polls, such voters made up a larger proportion of the electorate this year than in 2004 — 26 percent, up from 23 percent. Extrapolating from those data, McCain actually won more votes from self-identified white evangelical/born-again voters than Bush did four years ago — 1.8 million more. But that was not enough to offset the loss of so many moderates.</p></blockquote> <p><a href='http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/DOA3lL0mbB2fiu20VY5XdKtiIgY/a' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/DOA3lL0mbB2fiu20VY5XdKtiIgY/i" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/littlegreenfootballs/Ilds/~4/rrKbz9jB4C4" height="1" width="1"/>', '1227068607', '1227068604', '2008-11-18')

It reveals the results of a survey sent to biology and ”biological anthropology“ faculty members from ”all 35 public universities plus the 15 largest private institutions in Texas,“ in which they were asked to take the following taste test: evolution or intelligent design? As Eve writes in the introduction, the reason for the survey was simple:</p> <p>”In the spring of 2009, the Texas State Board of Education will vote to adopt new curriculum standards for the teaching of science in grades K – 12 in Texas public schools. (These guidelines are formally known as the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills, or TEKS.) Many observers, both within Texas and around the country, anticipate a vigorous push by certain interest groups to make the debate over the Texas science curriculum the latest front in the running battle over evolution.“</p> <p>So Eve, and the TFN, wanted to see where educators stood on the issue. Oof the 1,019 faculty members to whom the surveys were sent, 464 responded — and fewer than 1 percent checked off the box marked, “Modern evolutionary biology is mostly wrong. Life arose through multiple creation events by an intelligent designer, although evolution by natural selection played a limited role.” In other words: Do the evolution.

DuBois to James and Grace Lee Boggs, from Audre Lorde to Robin D.G. Kelley, Angela Davis, and bell hooks that could be acknowledged and engaged. Race and gender, gender and class, class and race—a lot has been done and there’s a lot left to do, but smart white male lefties like Peter naming and then dismissing the “triplet” seems more than a little glib. It seems to point toward a limiting white blind-spot and a severely pinched vision of social justice.</p> <p>In an aside, McLaren manages to both accept and deflect two weaknesses often associated with his work: “While some criticism is substantive—including a welcomed critique of the enciphered language of some academics and a challenge to radical educators to come up with concrete possibilities—much of it is small-minded and petty ... ” (p. 30). Note the “some academics”—Not me! Not me!—and the active “enciphering” to boot. There is, in fact, a self-conscious performativeness on almost every page:</p> <p>Through policies of increasing its military-industrial-financial interest, it continues to purse its quivering bourgeois lips, bare its imperialist fangs, and suck the lifeblood from the open veins of South America and other regions of the globe. (p. 23)</p> <p>Watered by the tears of the poor and cultivated by working-class labor, the dreams that sprout from the unmolested soil of capital are those engineered by the ruling class. (p. 20)</p></blockquote> <p>On and on and on like that. Who needs waterboarding?

During an appearance on Fox News, a CBS executive attacked the bloggers in a statement that will go down in the annals of arrogance. ‘60 Minutes,’ he said, was a professional organization with ‘multiple layers of checks and balances.’ By contrast, he dismissed the blogger as ‘a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing.’ But eventually it was the guys sitting in their pajamas who forced Mr. Rather and his producer to resign.</p> <p>“Mr. Rather and his defenders are not alone,” he continued. “A recent American study reported that many editors and reporters simply do not trust their readers to make good decisions. Let’s be clear about what this means. This is a polite way of saying that these editors and reporters think their readers are too stupid to think for themselves.”</p></blockquote> <p>The media are still defensive about this incident.

The network also commissioned an investigation led by Dick Thornburgh, a prominent Republican and former United States attorney general, and Louis D. Boccardi, a former chief executive of The Associated Press, <strong>not so much to verify the documents</strong>, but to determine how the segment got on the air.</p></blockquote> <p>“Not so much to verify the documents!” Because, hey!

No doubt they’re right. But I must say I find it laughable that this charge would come from liberals of all people. The left in this country has had a long and dismal history of embracing a wide variety of anti-intellectual credos.</p> <p>Start with the most obvious: the left has long been the welcoming home of fashionable postmodern nonsense like deconstructivism and moral and cultural relativism. Under these doctrines there are supposed to be different kinds of “logics” (male logic, female logic, &.) and none is more valid than the other. All of them are simply clever masks for a brutal competition for wealth and power. This is a profoundly anti-intellectual strain of pseudo-thought which avoids the need to take any arguments seriously, because such ideas simply be accused of corruption. When Sandra Harding called Newton’s Principia a “rape manual,” she did so from the left, not from the right. And the cultural relativists who demand that we treat the dismal productions of barbaric cultures as the intellectual equivalents of Shakespeare and Homer—and tars as “racist” anyone who suggests that some cultures and their mores are better than others—are fundamentally, even proudly anti-intellectual.</p> <p>These ideologies masquerade, unconvincingly, as intellectual movements, but they are simply attempts to ignore ideas, or to shoot them down with reactionary appeals to political dogmas. They treat the world of thought with the same contempt as a street thug, except that they phrase his appeal to violence in more clever terminology. In the end it is the same: power over thought, force over reason. Goebbels said that when he heard the word culture, he reached for his gun, but many of the so-called “radical” intellectuals of today avoid the challenge of thought altogether by interpreting it in terms of base politics—and not even a very sophisticated politics, but a politics centered entirely around the tribal: around racial and gender conflicts over land and money.</p> <p>“Radical chic” is a leftist phenomenon, not a conservative one. It was, and is, liberals who accord street thugs and petty vandals the respectability of academic honors. The terrorist Bill Ayers? Or the terrorist Angela Davis, winner of the Lenin Peace Prize of the U.S.S.R.? She’s presidential chair at U.C. Santa Cruz. It was liberals who not only gave the anti-intellectual thug Norman Mailer pop icon status, but handed him the mantle of a respectable intellectual. The Jack Abbott case was a curiosity to them, and a source of gossip. When he stabbed his wife with a penknife at a dinner party, almost killing her in 1960, was that the end of his run as a leftist intellectual? Hardly. The left respects its anti-intellectual thugs.</p></blockquote> <p><a href='http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/JpjDh-v-zPPaVDbKvV7skteA23g/a' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/JpjDh-v-zPPaVDbKvV7skteA23g/i" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/littlegreenfootballs/Ilds/~4/t_Rf_MX3Ggg" height="1" width="1"/>', '1227068607', '1227068594', '2008-11-18')

I’ve become increasingly alienated by the Republicans“ embrace of the religious ”social conservative“ agenda, including attempts to ban abortion, embryonic stem cell research, and gay marriage.</p> <p>The Founding Fathers correctly recognized that the proper function of government is to protect individual rights, such as freedom of speech and freedom of religion. But freedom of religion also implies freedom *from* religion. As Thomas Jefferson famously put it, there should be a ”wall of separation“ between church and state. Public policy should not be based on religious doctrines.</p> <p>Instead, the government’s role is to protect each person’s right to practice his or her religion as a private matter and to forbid them from forcibly imposing their particular views on others.

This plan gives all the land Israel captured in the 1967 war to the Palestinians (whoever that’s supposed to be; Hamas or Fatah?), gives back the Golan Heights to Syria, and gives East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as their state capital: <a href='http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article5162537.ece#cid=OTC-RSS&attr=797093' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Barack Obama links Israel peace plan to 1967 borders deal</a>.</p> <p>Does Israel get anything out of this? Well, yes; they won’t have to accept the so-called “right of return,” otherwise known as the demographic destruction of Israel.</p> <blockquote><p>Barack Obama is to pursue an ambitious peace plan in the Middle East involving the recognition of Israel by the Arab world in exchange for its withdrawal to pre-1967 borders, according to sources close to America’s president-elect.</p> <p>Obama intends to throw his support behind a 2002 Saudi peace initiative endorsed by the Arab League and backed by Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister and leader of the ruling Kadima party. The proposal gives Israel an effective veto on the return of Arab refugees expelled in 1948 while requiring it to restore the Golan Heights to Syria and allow the Palestinians to establish a state capital in east Jerusalem.</p> <p>On a visit to the Middle East last July, the president-elect said privately it would be “crazy” for Israel to refuse a deal that could “give them peace with the Muslim world”, according to a senior Obama adviser.</p></blockquote> <p>Obama apparently has been convinced by his gaggle of mildly to extremely anti-Israel advisers that the best hope for change is to give a one-sided deal concocted by a rabidly anti-Israel, totalitarian religious monarchy another chance.</p> <p>Putting aside the issue of whether any of the Arab players in this eternally-recycling “land for peace” shell game can be trusted to keep their side of any bargain, there’s always the possibility that the Palestinian side (whoever that is; Fatah? Hamas?) will manage to screw it up, either by making the “right of return” a deal-breaker or by committing some heinous act of mass murder.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong> at 11/16/08 9:27:31 am:</p> <p>It should be noted that one of the Times’ writers on this piece, Uzi Mahnaimi, has a rather checkered past: <a href='http://www.yourish.com/2007/06/17/3306' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Uzi Mahnaimi and his lies about Israel</a>.</p> <p><a href='http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/vfDrvNNYgwnoNU6CZZXnW_fXGlw/a' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~a/vfDrvNNYgwnoNU6CZZXnW_fXGlw/i" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/littlegreenfootballs/Ilds/~4/SJr0dzS4Y7k" height="1" width="1"/>', '1227068607', '1227068590', '2008-11-18')
