As I previously mentioned, Hannes Artens talked about his book The Writing on the Wall in this morning’s podcast.
Siggy had a few things to say, not only in the podcast, but also in his blog,
The Time To Unload Is Upon Us
While Mr Artens artistic talent is considerable, his politics are less impressive.
He is of the belief that the west and the US in particular are equal in morality to the Iranians and much of the Arab world and he believes that the mullahs in Iran are indistinguishable from Christians in the US. We could go on, but you get the picture.
We took Mr Artens to task, out to the woodshed and attempted to beat some sense into him.
So we are clear, let’s recapitulate. The west are not moral equals to Iran, the Arab world or much of the Islamic world. The west and the US in particular, are superior to Iran, the Arab world and much of the Islamic world. Regimes that oppress their own citizens, abuse women and children, embrace terror, racism and genocide have no place at the table of civilized nations. No exceptions (pay attention. See this). Leftist bastard whiners may say we are guilty- and certainly we are not perfect societies- but were are not those nations. Any leftist bastard that wants to play the comparison game can call in. Arguments about the superiority of cultures and regimes that need to reach back a thousand years to find examples of civilized behavior will be dealt with unmercifully.
Go read the rest of his post.
So, of course, Siggy’s going to talk about it tomorrow at 11AM Eastern.
I’ll open the chat at 10:45, and the call-in number is 646 652-2639. Join us!
The Sigster is at his most entertaining when he’s blowing gaskets…
Oh wait…that came out wrong…
