PART 1: Hitchens Unhinged PART 2: Hitchens Haj PART 3: Hitchens: Enemy of My Enemies? |
Published in Taki’s Magazine under the title “Hitchens Haj,” October 15, 2007.
 America should model itself after Moorish Spain, says atheist guru Christopher Hitchens. The map above depicts Muslim-occupied Spain, circa AD 1000, with Muslim lands shown in green. |
Christopher Hitchens puzzles many conservatives. On the one hand, he appears to be one of our staunchest allies in the war on Islamist insurgents. Yet Hitchens makes no secret of the fact that he loathes and despises us. By “us”, I mean all those conservatives who believe in God, which is another way of saying all genuine conservatives.
Now here is the riddle: If Hitchens hates conservatives, why does he break bread with us at so many political gatherings, and why does he side with us in our present war with militant Islam? Hitchens himself has helpfully provided an explanation for this paradox. Brace yourselves, conservatives. His explanation is a doozy. Read more

Attorneygate and the World Trade Center Bombing
I am referring, of course, to the real Attorneygate scandal — the one that occurred in 1993 — and to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.

ATTORNEYGATE: Bill Clinton’s 1993 Purge of U.S. Attorneys
History is an excellent antidote for hysteria. All the huffing and puffing over the Bush Administration’s firing of eight U.S. Attorneys might be tempered by an awareness that Bush’s predecessor, President Bill Clinton, summarily fired all 93 U.S. Attorneys on a single day, March 23, 1993.
