D'Souza Uses Virginia Tech Tragedy to bash Atheists

D'Souza has been vying for that coveted level of intellectualism currently held by the likes of Mark Steyn and Ward Churchill, and the like. His effort has paid off well.

His piece was short, had poor logic, was not by any means eloquent, and the premise was retarded too. Thinly veiled bigotry.

Then again, I have no idea who this guy is but his blog is posted on AOL.

He's a guy who recently wrote a book claiming that 9/11 happened because righteous Muslims are offended by atheist liberal American culture.

The guy's like Ann Coulter.

Only, less hot, and less vulgar.

I did read D'Souza's short book _Letters to a Young Conservative_. It's not so terrible! It's filled with simple talking points and slogans for the budding young Republican. D'Souza got his name race-baiting back in the days of _The Dartmouth Review_ (he's one of THOSE conservatives), and you'll occasionally catch him attacking atheism, Dawkins, Dennett, etc. I have no idea why he harps on Dawkins here. Why would anyone think of calling in a scientist? I wonder when people are going to really start playing up the rich kid hating/Christian hating angle.

That said, I think Puppycow has a point. When something bad happens to a person religious people will immediately offer their prayers. "I'll pray for you." What do we have? Yes, you could say, "your family is in my thoughts," but what does that mean? It's not as pro-active sounding. Plus you can't add the comfort of religion: "Yes, she died painfully and pointlessly in a cold, indifferent world." Instead we're reduced to "learning a lesson" or "preventing a future tragedy" or "honoring her memory," and so on. Hey, "God works in mysterious ways," and at the end of the day, "everything happens for a reason."

"I am sorry for your loss, if you need help, need to talk or just want me to sit there, give me a call."

Works for me, that and keeping in touch and not ostracizing them.
 
I say "his goodness will live on in your memory and the accomplishments of his life will be with humanity forever." Or something like that. It came out a little stilted.

Gotta be fairly homely to be less hot than Ann "Mr. Ed" Coulter. Do you suppose somebody, maybe somebody Carl Rove-ian, rubs peanut butter on her gums to start her rants? :boggled:

Haha, okay, given.

Less hot in the sense that I don't find many males to be hot. :D
