Jonah Asserts
Here's an aside Jonah Goldberg makes at NRO:
What is staggering here is that Bryan Burrough honestly thinks Christian
conservatism or social conservatism actually represents something as
goofy and intellectually illegitimate as Leonard Jeffries style
Afrocentrism. That's self-discrediting.
Really? Let's leave aside personal insults, shall we, Jonah? Tell us why the notion that God made the world 6,000 years ago in six days is not as goofy and intellectually illegitimate as Afrocentrism? (Burrough doesn't name Leonard Jeffries, so don't misrepresent him) Tell us why the notion that a book that contradicts itself on countless occasions but is regarded as literally inerrant in every respect by fundamentalist Christians is not as goofy and intellectually illegitimate as Afrocentrism? Tell us why the notion that withdrawing from the West Bank is wrong because the Bible says so is less goofy than Afrocentrism. C'mon, Jonah. Back yourself up with argument. You don't believe this nonsense either, do you? So stop pretending you do.
