I was banned from lgf for commenting on, what I found, was an increasing hostility towards Christianity on his site. I only lasted a couple days. I was most often polite in my responses and posts, but the lizards offered me no such courtesy. During one of my last exchanges, one poster, "Mandy", let fly with a string of profanities against me that really surprised me. After being banned, all my previous comments were deleted.

With Charles, I believe the war has always been against all religions, not just Islam.

Oh well, lgf has been relegated

Ooops. I meant to say that is NOT Hitchensesque

The 'he hates all religions' mantra just doesn't work. Because it's not as if he is now criticizing Islam and Christianity equally, which would at least make sense. In fact, as someone who does not equate all Muslims with radical Islam, I can honestly say he over-defends the Muslim religion–as if there's nothing, simplly nothing, wrong here (and, if you think so, you're a bigot). That is Hitchenesque. Hitchens is, at least, fair and honest in his disagreement with religion. No, this is something else. Something strange. And perhaps we'll never understand.

Closing question: Why the HELL hasn't Victor Davis Hanson retracted his defense yet? I've lost so much respect.

Yeah. He just never talks about it anymore.

I like your post, the fact that your site is a little bit different makes it so interesting, I get sick up seeing the same old boring recycled stuff all of the time.

Great site, exactly what I was looking for, I can’t get your RSS feed to work right in google chrome though, is it on my end? By the way, if you get a moment, check out my Blogging for Cash Website – http://bit.ly/bM1Mxo

@ “I have observed other credible intelligent people ( very few-6, actually) make an abrupt left turn. In one case it was a surrender to homosexuality, in another a personal war with God over a painful injustice suffered in youth” –Haarumph, way above Childrearing models explain the whys of today’s otherwise inexplicable left-turns among westerners, as I explain in one of the longest articles in my blogsite.

What a disappointing step by Charles who I still love/respet so muh to lump freeRepublic & atlas shruggs with "hate" and not a real HATE site like the militant daily cos, oh, well.
Yet, the postitivity of Charles still goes on as he sees at least Israel – as the – real victim of radical Arab racism & militant Islamic-fascism.

Congratulations, I'm sure you've just A) earned a spot on Charles' list of meany-pants fascists and B) been banned from his silly little site of hateful stupidity. Engaging that giant web-troll is a waste of time, as enjoyable as the smackdowns are.

Lawrence, I strongly agree with your first sentence but strongly disagree with the second.

Buchanan is indeed a vicious anti-Semite, but conservative intellectuals like Prager and Buckeley are praiseworthy for avoiding invective and attempting, above all, to be reasonable menschen in the time-honoured tradition of the Talmud. One need not respond to hate, with hate.

I will always go out of my way to read Prager, or Glazov, or Bawer, or Spencer, or Bat-Yeor. Their vilification by the Islamophiliac far-left is to their credit!

I think that the masses of independent voters in Massachusetts who turned out to vote Scott Brown into The People's seat pretty much put paid to that kind of looney left "argumentum ad Teabagger." The left, to its political peril, still refuses to acknowledge that the Tea Party phenomenon — despite the occasional hangers on with the "hitler" signs (just like we see at leftist rallies) — is actually an uprising of very much middle of the road, middle Americans who are fed up with "progressives" cram regressive economic and suppressive political policies down their throats.

Anyone expect that as the tide turns back to concervative in the government, he will suddenly "see the error of his ways" and do yet another 180 in an attempt to weasel his way back onto the popular team again? Could be interesting to watch if so. But methinks he has destroyed all of his conservative bridges by now. So probably wouldn't work.

In short, I guess I am saying CJ is and always has been a charade and a popularity leech.

Prager is way too kind to Charles. Mad King Charles has banned people from his blog for downdinging comments! Why have a rating system if you are going to ban people for that? He has lied routinely about so many things, including his series of lies about Robert Spencer. Plus Charles himself used to be a global warming skeptic (do the research), before he did a u-turn and then in classic Orwellian style pretended to always be a global warming hysteric. We were always at war with Eurasia.

And Prager is way too soft on Buchanan btw, Buchanan is an off the charts Jew-hater, a Holocaust Revisionist who sees Jewish conspiracies everywhere, and an anti-black racist besides. Prager's lukewarm writings on everything is rather off-putting, no real convictions, no heart. You miss Charles, really Prager? How pathetic, it's like you wish for a reconciliation that is impossible, get over it. Charles is a lost cause.

Mr. Prager, I have always immensely appreciated your articles and regard you as
one of the best, articulate voices for freedom. Now that I have learned to use the
computer (a very senior citizen) it is a thrill to read you on-line. This rebuttal of
a newly-converted leftest is masterful! Thank God for people of your caliber.

The list of 10 reasons for parting with the right are the same projections and adolescent talking points we're used to hearing as opposed to intelligent debate from the left. This is pathetic. It is to Dennis Prager's credit that he asks for an explanation–something the left wouldn't bother with. I suspect the Muslim Ummah paid a visit either verbally or in person. Wish Charles would fight the source of the trouble.

Charles Who?

By: Radegunda

Radegunda — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 03:31:58 +0000

So where are the courageous people on the left who will call out Obama and Pelosi et al. on their ruinous policies, instead of just calling everybody who criticizes those policies a racist or extremist?
Over the health-care issue, for example, conservatives have cited chapter and verse, over and over, of what's actually in the bills under consideration and what are the likely consequences. In response, practically everybody on the left side of the aisle has simply lobbed ad hominems, saying it was all a raaaacist plot against our poor delicate young black president.
So who needs to grow up?

Let's hear your list of "thousands of anti-muslim right wing sites."

I'll make it easy. How about the top 100?

Then we'll stack up all the Jew-hating, Christian-hating, infidel hating rants and incitements to violence and conquest and world domination that come from Islamic websites AND MOSQUES on a daily basis. Then we'll see who are the hatingest haters.
