15 MINUTES INTO THE FUTURE: On Wednesday, James Lileks wrote:
Nowadays, if you point out that someone’s a Communist, you might well be accused of - dum dum DUMMMM - McCarthyism. The term has morphed from its original meaning. It no longer means falsely accusing someone of being a Communist. It now includes correctly identifying someone as a Communist, or ascribing a taint to someone because they don’t reject the Communists in their midst. (I’ll admit there’s a significant difference between the two.)Yesterday's New York Times, has finally gotten around to reporting on A.N.S.W.E.R.'s communist ties, almost a week after several other publications on both sides of the aisle did. The Times' article has these lines, printed without comment or dissent by the reporter who wrote the article:
In an interview today, Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, a spokeswoman for Answer, said questions raised about the group's role were "classic McCarthy-era Red-baiting." "When you select out the Socialists or Marxists," she said, "the point is to demonize and divide and diminish a massive, growing movement."In reply, Glenn Reynolds writes:
It's not McCarthyite to call people who are communists, communists. Communists, as devoted followers of murderous totalitarianism, deserve to be called to account every bit as much as their Nazi colleagues. And in the 21st century, they can hardly pretend to be ignorant of their ideology's true nature.But they're always ready to use the "M" word at a moment's notice, thus, as Lileks writes, perverting both its meaning, and the events in America during the 1950s. 1/29/02 UPDATE: For those clicking in from Counterspin, here's Glenn Reynolds' response to his post, which I'm pretty much in agreement on. By the way, Counterspin seems to have confused me with James Lileks, whose comments I posted above, along with Glenn's. But that's OK--Lileks' chops as a writer are so great, that I'm more than happy to be confused with him!

CURSE OF THE FOUL MOUTH: The Wall Street Journal says "Bad language used to be associated with the lower classes--hence the term 'vulgarity.':
But it is now an affectation of celebrities and macho corporate go-getters. Even sailors and peasants watched their language around ladies and children, but now family gatherings at the ballpark must endure obscenities from neighboring fans. Women are swearing the same blue streak as men, and young children don't seem to have their mouths washed out with soap. A recent Washington Post op-ed lamented the common experience of finding oneself in a subway car "filled with cursing students."It would be easy to say that in this time of impending war, that vulgarity is even silly to worry about. And yet, somehow, our fathers and grandfathers got through two world wars and the Depression without (at least publically) sounding like they were "sailors and peasants".

TAKE THAT ARIANNA! John Merline reports that from 1990 to 2001:
Sales of cars - a category of autos that excludes SUVs, minivans and pickups - have been falling steadily for decades. They dropped 10% between 1990 and 2001, according to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which keeps track of this for the federal government. Worst hit in recent years have been subcompact cars. They saw sales cut in half in the past decade. Sales of SUVs, meanwhile, climbed an eye-popping 312%Gee, people in big, heavy cars are safer in a crash? Whoda thunk it!* * * Despite all this, overall fuel economy of all the passenger vehicles on the road actually climbed 6.6% between 1990 and 2000, according to the Energy Information Administration. And the highway fatality rate dropped 27.4%.

HAWK BITES WEASELS: James Taranto writes that "France and Germany's unexpectedly strong pro-Saddam tilt has had at least one salutary effect, the Washington Post reports: It's turned Secretary of State Colin Powell into a hawk."
Given the number of American allies who have come onboard, Taranto says, "So it's France and Germany, standing alone against the world and in defense of Saddam Hussein. Somebody should have warned Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Schroeder of the dangers of unilateralism."

MY TAKE ON FRANCE: What can you say about a country whose president is "in complete solidarity" with French farmworkers who destroyed a McDonald's restaurant, but not in complete solidarity with removing a vicious, lying, mass-murdering dictator?
As Jonah Goldberg wrote a couple of years ago:
An anti-U.S. activist and author named José Bové is a French folk hero because he led a goon squad of angry farmers in dismantling a local McDonald's with crowbars. An angry judge gave Bové a whopping 20 days in jail. Politicians bravely denounce the company. Jacques Chirac, the French president, recently declared, "I am in complete solidarity with France's farm-workers, and I detest McDonald's food." But anti-Americanism only partly accounts for the phenomenon. For example, protesters will often attack a Mickey D's even if the U.S. embassy is more convenient. When Breton separatists wanted to send a signal to Paris last month, they blew up a McDonald's, killing a 28-year-old breakfast-shift leader. (It was a mixed signal, to be sure, because McDonald's is even less popular in Paris than in Brittany.)Of course, you can say the exact same thing about the American far left, who thinks of nothing of suggesting that a McDonald's be blown up, or killing policemen, and destroying US government property, but who actively prevent helping the truly opressed: the people of Iraq.

THE OTHER PARAGRAPHS: "CPO Sparkey" of Team Stryker analyzes paragraphs one, two and four of the resolution against Iraq. We looked at paragraph five earlier today.
As Sparkey writes:
If the rule of law is to mean anything, then it must be enforced. Governments that pass laws that they can't or don't intend to enforce simply encourages - not deters - more crime. Those of you who seek UN approval and mandate remember this. Remember the way the UN is behaving here. Passing laws and resolutions that it really doesn't have the will to enforce except on those who are most likely to obey them anyway.

PARAGRAPH FIVE PAYS OFF: Way back on November 9th, we mentioned "the seldom discussed Paragraph Five of our resolution regarding Iraq", and linked to this post by Bryan Preston, who wrote:
there is some quiet self-satisfaction among the Brits and Americans that paragraph 5 -- the silver bullet -- went through with little fuss. This says the inspectors must have "immediate, unimpeded, unrestricted and private access to all officials and other persons" and that the inspectors "may at their discretion conduct interviews inside or outside of Iraq, may facilitate the travel of those interviewed and family members outside Iraq." This means an open ticket to the West for all the best brains in Iraqi who would like to leave. It is also the guarantee that Iraq can be declared in material breach if access to any designated scientist, technician, official or civilian is denied. And the CIA and Britain's SIS have drawn up a very long list.Check out the first two paragraphs of this AP article:
As Iraq awaits a key report by chief U.N. arms inspectors, a senior Iraqi official says Baghdad is still unable to meet a key U.N. demand — persuade Iraqi scientists to submit to private interviews with U.N. arms controllers. In New York, deputy U.S. Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz charged that Iraq had threatened to kill its scientists if they cooperated with U.N. weapons inspectors.Add that to the previous chemical weapons discovery, and the subject of this article--that Iraq refuses U-2 overflights to assist the inspectors--and the evidence keeps mounting. The Super Bowl should be fun, but Bush's State of the Union address is going to be the real must-see TV next week.

STANDING ATHWART HILLARY, YELLING "STOP!": 15 years before Hillary Clinton wrote It Takes a Village, Ronald Reagan, with great foresight, wrote his review:
"...it rests on the assumption that your kids belong to the state. If we buy that assumption then it is for the state -- not for parents, the community, the religious institutions or teachers -- to decide who shall have what values and who shall do what work, when, where and how in our society. That assumption isn't a new one. The Nazis thought it was a great idea."--Ronald Reagan in Human Events, February 1979.

ANDREW'S HOME RUN:
But for us, it's important to remember why we're fighting Saddam. The answer is September 11. Those who want to find some specific evidentiary link between al Qaeda and Saddam don't begin to fathom what war is. It is not the pursuit of one distinct goal after another, depending on the exigencies of international law or diplomacy. That's called foreign policy. War, in contrast, is the attempt to destroy an enemy. The enemy is Islamist terrorism and its state sponsors. Strategically, the overthrow of the Saddam regime is absolutely central to this objective. It will deal another psychological blow to the reactionaries who want to ratchet Islam back a few more centuries and wage war on the free societies of the West. It will remove one huge and obvious source of weapons of mass destruction potentially available to the enemy. It will provide a military base from which to continue the war against al Qaeda and its enablers across the Middle East, specifically in Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia. And it will reassert the global hegemony of the United States and its Anglosphere allies. That's why we fight. It isn't a pre-emptive war. It's a reactive war - against what was done to this country throughout the 1990s, culminating on that awful September day. We are fighting to honor the memory of the dead and to defeat a brutal enemy that would inflict even more carnage if they possibly could. And we fight to defend the principles of a liberal international order, principles that the United States and the United States alone has long been responsible for upholding. Our loneliness in this struggle should not therefore be a cause for concern. It is, in fact, a sign, once again, that we are on the right path.Perfectly stated.

MARCHING WITH STALINISTS: Michael Kelly nails A.N.S.W.E.R., and the folks who blindly march with it:
There is, increasingly, much that happens in the world that the [New York] Times feels its readers should be sheltered from knowing. The marches in Washington and San Francisco were chiefly sponsored, as was last October's antiwar march in Washington, by a group the Times chose to call in its only passing reference "the activist group International Answer." International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is a front group for the communist Workers World Party. The Workers World Party is, literally, a Stalinist organization. It rose out of a split within the old Socialist Workers Party over the Soviet Union's 1956 invasion of Hungary -- the breakaway Workers World Party was all for the invasion. International ANSWER today unquestioningly supports any despotic regime that lays any claim to socialism, or simply to anti-Americanism. It supported the butchers of Beijing after the slaughter of Tiananmen Square. It supports Saddam Hussein and his Baathist torture-state. It supports the last official Stalinist state, North Korea, in the mass starvation of its citizens. It supported Slobodan Milosevic after the massacre at Srebrenica. It supports the mullahs of Iran, and the narco-gangsters of Colombia and the bus-bombers of Hamas. This is whom the left now marches with. The left marches with the Stalinists. The left marches with those who would maintain in power the leading oppressors of humanity in the world. It marches with, stands with and cheers on people like the speaker at the Washington rally who declared that "the real terrorists have always been the United Snakes of America." It marches with people like the former Black Panther Charles Baron, who said in Washington, "if you're looking for an axis of evil then look in the belly of this beast."Read the whole thing.

IN MEMORIAM: Wonderful tribute to Al Hirschfeld by Andy Ross in Flak Magazine:
Hirschfeld served as a historian, marking moments of a culture immersed in and enthralled by entertainment. Cataloguing the 20th century, Hirschfeld showed the world the faces of an aging art form. Live performance, with its caked makeup and exhausting hoofing, has no existence beyond the moment it shares with its audience. Without celluloid or videotape, all theater had to make it immortal was Hirschfeld.Great descriptions of Hirschfeld's deceptively/masterfully simple style as well

INSERT FOOT INTO MOUTH DEPARTMENT: I'm sure, looking back in the almost one year that this blog has been in existence, you can find more than a few turns of phrases that we wish we could take back (that may have just been one of them). But did Howie Kurtz really intend to say this, as found by James Taranto on The Journal's "Best of the Web Today"?
"If colleges don't consider race at all, some of them would end up looking like the Republican side of the House. (Number of blacks: zero.)" Does Kurtz really think no blacks can meet the standards of certain colleges?Taranto also has this one by Hillary--who I expect to put her foot in her mouth from time to time:
"Yes, we want to be judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin. But what makes up character? If we don't take race as part of our character, then we are kidding ourselves."--Hillary Clinton at a Martin Luther King Day ceremony, quoted in today's New York Sun.I think Kurtz was simply trying to be clever and reached too far. But I'm sure Hillary believes exactly what she said above. As Taranto said, "Oh well, it was only a dream". UPDATE: Pejman Yousefzadeh has some additional thoughts on Hillary's speech.

"A RERUN OF A BAD MOVIE": President Bush says:
"This business about more time, how much time do we need to see clearly that he's not disarming?" Bush told reporters after meeting with economists to tout his tax-cutting plan.Of course, one reason that some "allies" are so reluctant is that they may have contributed to Iraq's arms buildup. In other Iraq news, inspectors may have discovered Saddam's ongoing nuclear weapons program. Meanwhile, former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter is rumored to have booked recording sessions with Pete Townshend. UPDATE: Steven Den Beste does a little supposing about what happens if after we're victorous in Iraq, we announce German and French complicity in helping Iraq build WMDs.* * * "It appears to be a rerun of a bad movie. He is delaying. He is deceiving. He is asking for time. He's playing hide and seek with inspectors. One thing for sure is, he's not disarming," Bush said. "So the United States of America, in the name of peace, will insist that he does disarm and we will keep pressure" on Iraq." In a flash of impatience, Bush said of reluctant allies, "Surely our friends have learned lessons from the past."

COMPARE AND CONTRAST: William Whittle begins a long essay on the current state of Hollywood celebrities and the anti-war/pro-dictatorship positions of today's Hollywood by describing his chance encounter with Jimmy Stewart in the late 1980s.
Let's flashback even further to about 1966. Compare the apathy and arrogance of today's celebrities with this photo of Stewart, a brigadier general in the Air Force Reserve, at about age 58, looking like God in a flight suit, walking away from a B-52F, after a mission over North Vietnam.
I have no idea how many flights Stewart made over Nam--but even if it was just one for this photo-op, think of what he had to go through: the 5000 mile flight from Los Angeles to at least Guam, where most of the B-52s flew out of during the Vietnam war, the risk of getting shot out of the sky by crack North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gunners and killed or captured, plus the timeout from his career, when by the 1960s, he was earning at a minimum, in the very high six-figures per movie. I'm sure that when the call came, if Stewart or his handlers quietly said, "err, no thanks", the Air Force wouldn't have pressed the issue. But, just as he did in WWII, Stewart served his country.
Now, flash-forward 35 years. John Travolta owns his own Boeing 707, a plane based on technology Boeing developed for the B-52 and the earlier B-47. Imagine him flying in a '52, a B-1, or a B-2 anywhere except on a Hollywood soundstage. To paraphrase one of the anti-war movement's heroes, it's not easy if you try! George Clooney is busy taking cracks at George Bush and Charlton Heston. Sheryl Crow is busy checking her aura. James Lileks recently put the whole phenomenon into perspective:
Imagine you’re living in WW2, and you learn that Glenn Miller had kiddie-diddler urges, Dick Powell is in Berlin on a fact-finding mission, Hitchcock is insisting that the Blitz could be solved with diplomacy and understanding, and the Andrews Sisters showed up for an awards banquet wearing T-shirts that criticized Lend-Lease. Hitler the Second would be running Germany today, because the beautiful people would have convinced America that scrap drives were a plot by the rubber-industrial complex.Of course, during the 1940s through the 1950s, when Stewart was at the height of his popularity, Hollywood stars--or at least their agents and producers--instinctively knew that they earned their wealth, from their audiences. As Whittle wrote:
I can clearly recall Jimmy Stewart on The Tonight Show telling Johnny Carson that everything he had -- all the money and fame and admiration and privilege – he owed to the good people who were kind enough to come to the darkened theater and part with their hard-earned money. He said it was a privilege and a small price to pay to give back whatever he could to those fine, generous people.Compare that to the celebrities of today and how far they're removed from their audiences.
