The enemy of my enemy is still a drunk…
Here is a question for all my conservative Christian friends and allies: in the debate on religion between atheist Christopher Hitchens and Fifth Columnist to all civilization Chris Hedges, for whom do we cheer?
CS Lewis once famously observed that the cunning of the Inferno sends errors into the world in pairs, so that a man, haplessly over-reacting to avoid the one, might fall and be snared in the opposite. In this particular case, my particular sympathies are with lovable socialist drunk Hitchens, only because he has some sense of integrity. Mr. Hedges evidently has no such scruples. He has achieved the final objectification programming of Mr. Frost and Mr. Wither. The Dark Eldil has him.
He is not the person I would have selected to debate religion with Mr. Hitchens. Let us hope secret Opus Dei efforts to clone GK Chesterton are successful.
