A Syllogism For Our Times

Premise #1:
"The test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." -- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Premise #2:
Islamofascists -- and their Gramscian Neo-Syndicalist Fascifist allies -- are incapable of holding two opposing ideas in mind at the same time and retaining the ability to function.

Conclusion:
Islamofascists and their allies are not first-rate intelligences.

"Let's put the issue very simply. The president has the power as commander in chief under the Constitution to intercept and monitor the communications of America's enemies. Indeed, it would be a very weird interpretation of the Constitution to say that the commander in chief could order U.S. forces to kill America's enemies but not to wiretap -- or, more likely these days, electronically intercept -- their communications. Presidents have asserted and exercised this power repeatedly and consistently over the last quarter-century."

"Punditry is one of those strange activities where for the good of your character it is best not to be too successful."

"Our postmodern mind is tightly bound by the idea that a story must be false, and deceitful, simply because it claims to be good, beautiful, and true. The Christmas story breaks these bonds. It may be inaccessible to the cynical and world-weary. But it will always be spontaneously understood by children, and those who can become children, in the presence of Our Lord."

Something a little different for your Christmas reading list...

"Let us know how that works out in '06." (HT Glenn)
