Nice little interview by Ayaan Hirsi Ali with an anti-American Canadian interviewer:
I keep imagining John Kerry sitting in the same chair spending all his time apologizing, and here's this newcomer who does a better job representing America than people who have lived here all their lives.

"Syme: It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. You wouldn't have seen the [Newspeak] Dictionary 10th edition, would you Smith? It's that thick. [illustrates thickness with fingers] The 11th Edition will be that [narrows fingers] thick. Winston Smith: So, The Revolution will be complete when the language is perfect? Syme: The secret is to move from translation, to direct thought, to automatic response. No need for self-discipline. Language coming from here [the larynx], not from here

No, Avi, There' no school that teaches reverence for the greatest social experiment in democracy and equality anymore. Is there a school where they teach moral blindness and pathetic Canadian envy of America or are you just soooo special?
When Avi Lewis, the interviewer, accused Hirsi Ali of stating simplistic cliches, the obvious retort was that he was doing the exact same thing.
I especially rolled my eyes when he said that THEY shoot abortion doctors in America. I can see it now: a government-ordered execution of abortion doctors in the mall in Washington, DC, performed by the National Guard. Sure. Happens every day.
I have, since writing my latest post http://breathofthebeast.blogspot.com/2007/07/cultural-insanity-part-i-diagnosis.html about the insanity of the left, observed that the lefties and Islamists employ a form of argumentation that I think may be a kind of "splitting" or "dissociation". They insist, as Avi Lewis does in this interview, on comparing Israel, America and The West to a utopian standard of perfection rather than to the rest of the (squalid and reprehensible) real world that is so much less desirable than America. This begs the question which Hirsi Ali asks this dope- "why don't you move somewhere else?" He'll never say it but there IS no other place that he could tolerate or that would tolerate him.
