Conservative Musings: Times Two! (Three!)

As another week comes to a close, I suppose I'll entertain you, my readers, with some good reading material from the week.

The first features the return of David Limbaugh.  I point to this article primarily because it has a more in-depth analysis of the presidential debate than I had on Thursday.  If you want a solid understanding of just what happened Wednesday evening, give this piece a read.  It helps, in particular, solidify just why Barack Obama's performance was so terrible.

The second piece is an excellent analysis of leftist hypocrisy on free speech by Victor Davis Hanson.  I keep a close eye out for his articles as they are often very insightful.

This article focuses on the liberal obsession with multiculturalism (the idea all cultures are of equal value, regardless of differences between them), but notes how often it conflicts with their professed beliefs on free speech.  As the title says, more often than not, the left allows the idea of multiculturalism to trump the ability to freely speak one's mind, particularly criticisms of another culture.  Instead of reading me rambling, however, you should instead read the article and see for yourself if it makes sense.

Finally, I bring to you Ann Coulter.  "Wait," you're probably asking, "you actually listen to that shrill harpy?"  I answer that question with "Well, I more read than listen, but yes."  The fact of the matter is, Ann Coulter is not nearly as bad as she's said to be by liberals.  While she can most certainly be a little too direct and, thus, sometimes turn off potential readers to what she says, it doesn't make her writing any less true.  Why her style of presentation should make her any less readable is beyond me and sounds more like an excuse to avoid, rather than confront, honest opinion.

This week, Coulter deals with the the brilliant minds at the cable network MSNBC.  Yet, to anyone who pays attention to the words of the article may realize that many of the things that she discusses in the piece not only apply to commentary on that network, but to far too many on the left as well.  If you don't believe me, read Coulter's article, then compare it to this article I wrote back in August and ask yourself: is this assessment of analytical behavior on MSNBC truly inaccurate?

That's it for the week.  Just four to go until the election!
