QUOTE: Andrew Sullivan, feeding us the good stuff, as always:
"THE TIMES AND STALIN: Stunning sub-headline in the New York Times Book Review yesterday. Let's run it through the usual test, as blogger Counter-Revolutionary suggests:
"Nobody likes Hitler, but Martin Amis seems to have a thing about him. In his new book, Adolf the Dread, he attacks the monster as if he were current. Then he offers some tender reflections about Kingsley Amis, his father, who was once a Nazi. What's up here?"Would that headline ever run in the Times? Would anyone ever even think about it? Parts of the American Left still haven't recovered from their softness on Communism, have they? Kinda proves Martin Amis' point, doesn't it?"
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
