2164th On The French Riviera?


Or is it Doug and Sonia? No folks we are going to have an occasional Soirée into the current culture with topical events. This is from a current exhibit in Amsterdam at Foam. http://www.foam.nl. Believe it or not but the topic is suitable for the Elephant Bar as it is, and I quote here: "It concentrates on the relationship between public and private life, the power and influence of the media and the common desire to shape public figures to reflect our own perspectives." This is recommended reading

  1. I am authorized to send one bag of Costa Rican Poas Coffee to the winning comment, judged by Whit, to have the most meritorious insight into the topic. If in Whit's judgement he feels that his own comment is most worthy, well that is OK as well. Please, for once in your lives, try and stay on top of the topic. Get close to the real meaning, if there is one. Please feel free to consult with C-4 if you suspect a Jewish connection. If you are Jewish and wish a connection, we are very open minded and admire your ecumenical desires. In the event of a tie, I will keep the coffee. If I get coffee on my tie, I will keep the tie and the coffee. Good Night and Good luck.

  4. In THE ENEMY AT HOME, bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza makes the startling claim that the 9/11 attacks and other terrorist acts around the world can be directly traced to the ideas and attitudes perpetrated by America’s cultural left.

    D’Souza shows that liberals—people like Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Barney Frank, Bill Moyers, and Michael Moore—are responsible for fostering a culture that angers and repulses not just Muslim countries but also traditional and religious societies around the world.
    Their outspoken opposition to American foreign policy—including the way the Bush administration is conducting the war on terror—contributes to the growing hostility, encouraging people both at home and abroad to blame America for the problems of the world.

    He argues that it is not our exercise of freedom that enrages our enemies, but our abuse of that freedom—from the sexual liberty of women to the support of gay marriage, birth control, and no-fault divorce, to the aggressive exportation of our vulgar, licentious popular culture.

    The cultural wars at home and the global war on terror are usually viewed as separate problems. In this groundbreaking book, D’Souza shows that they are one and the same. It is only by curtailing the left’s attacks on religion, family, and traditional values that we can persuade moderate Muslims and others around the world to cooperate with us and begin to shun the extremists in their own countries.

  5. I'm still a fan of overwhelming force, but as 'Rat says, since our leaders aren't down with that, we type on patriotically.
