Read Me at WorldNet Daily

…on Michael Medved, Bush, amnesty, & the rest

 

 

WorldNet Daily’s letter of the week features yours truly. “North American Union in College Texts”, covers some of what I’ve seen since my return to academe, but it also touched a bit on the fallacy imbedded in present-day internationalist thinking.

 

While it can quite rightly be argued that internationalism in some respects and given certain conditions is a good thing, what is being pushed as such today is most often not being done so by level-headed, thoughtful, or apparently moderate voices within that camp. Instead of an intelligent, rational, and fair dialogue with the people, democracy is rather quickly being subverted.

 

By "being subverted", I mean that there is lacking the crucial debate over such things as how much, what, where, and with whom, such laws should be crafted and treaties signed toward regional and global unity on a variety of fronts. If one questions this, he should look at the growing frustration among EU citizens (which I wrote about here) over the increasing disenfranchisement they feel as growing EU power has not coincided with similar growth in EU-wide democratic institutional relief. Yet, this is the model after which many of the North American effete currently pursue, desires and needs of the people be darned.

 

The fact this is the current paradigm in academia does not make those who hold internationalist views evil; however, those who hold hard-line “unity at any cost” views, as I mentioned at WorldNet Daily, are either suffering “bouts of missing history” with respect to the long-standing ebb and flow of localization versus regionalism, or logic with respect to so much as truly rationally evaluating the historical information of which generally they are aware.

 

I Hope you enjoy the read.

Well look at you in WND. You've hit the big time. And I knew you before you were famous. Good for you.

I've been reading about the problems with our universities as it pertains to Muslims and Islam, both here, in Europe and in Canada. It's very scary in some places. I'm working on a post about it, but I have to depend on what I read, no personal experiences with it. When I was in college and seminary Islam wasn't a problem.

I think Joseph Farah was handing out alms to starving student writers this week ;).

Something says that experiencing radical Islam first -hand is not something that would be fun to do. I don't believe I'll be signing up for that! Still though, covering terrorism and the Middle East from a safe distance is vital, though not always done as extensively or thoughtfully in print or other media. Your discussion of the little-reported anti-Arabism in Iran is one example. So I look forward to that next post at your blog.
