SOME IRAN LINKS

Here’s a way to send some moral support to the student insurgents in Iran. Check out their website, sign their guest-book. It’s a start. Jeff Jarvis has been on the case for a long time. Here’s a list of Iranian bloggers he knows and likes. Read them, email them. And don’t, of course, forget Pejman. Or Iraniangirl.

BOLICK’S CONSISTENCY: A superb and persuasive piece in the Washington Post today about the link between the Boy Scouts gay case and the sodomy law now under review at the Supreme Court. Clint Bolick outlines the principled conservative argument – that freedom of association should allow both the Boy Scouts to discriminate against gays and forbid the state of Texas from infringing on the right of gay Texans to freely associate in their own homes as well. That’s always been my position. Pity so many liberals want to use the coercive state to enforce their morality and so many alleged conservatives want to do exactly the same thing. But liberal and conservative prejudice – against free people – is a far more powerful force than principle, isn’t it?
