My review of Irshad Manji’s cri de coeur against and for her faith.
SEX SLAVES EPIDEMIC? That’s what the New York Times Magazine claimed last Sunday. Dan Radosh and Jack Shafer aren’t convinced.
A CLINT EASTWOOD REPUBLICAN: Or a Dennis Miller Republican, I suppose. That would be me. Here’s an interesting excerpt from USA Weekend magazine:
So, socially, you’re live-and-let-live. How about politically?
I suppose. I don’t see myself as conservative, but I’m not ultra-leftist. You build a philosophy of your own. I like the libertarian view, which is to leave everyone alone. Even as a kid, I was annoyed by people who wanted to tell everyone how to live.
As an ex-politician, does that extend to your view of same-sex marriages? That could be the polarizing issue of the presidential race.
From a libertarian point of view, you would say, “Yeah? So what?” You have to believe in total equality. People should be able to be what they want to be and do what they want — as long as they’re not harming people.
A radical new idea: conservatism that leaves people alone.
