Braindrops
I've recently become fascinated with the blog of Moishe Potemkin: Braindrops. As far as I can tell, he's a Jewish writer/student from Baltimore, and his political analysis is some of the most brutally pragmatic writings I've come across.
here:
"If I'm in Bush's snakeskin boots, and I think I need to win because my cause is right (reasonably assuming that ego-related issues play no more or less a role than on the other side), and one of the costs is getting my hands dirty in the swamp of high-school-level bigotry, then that's what I do.
Do I like it? No, but if I'm willing to allow an unknown number of Iraqi children to die in the interests of salvaging the future of their society (which is an inevitable component of supporting the war, like it or not), then I'm willing to (even dishonestly) adopt the rhetoric of the Jerry Fallwells of the world, even if it makes the Log Cabin folks unhappy. The end (no pun intended) justifies the means."
