And da Winners Are... #004
The winners of the Watcher's Council award for best blogposts of the week are...
Among the Watcher's Council cabal:
- The Scourging, by Eternity Road;
I voted for this one; it's a great post. It explains modern liberalism as a secular form of penance in expiation for the sin of material success.
Among the slovenly louts who haven't joined the Council:
- Universal Moral Equivalence, by Gates of Vienna;
This is a clean and simple primer about moral equivalence -- "the worldview tells us that there’s no real distinction between good and bad, between God and the Devil." It's well written and incisive; but it breaks no new ground, which is why I didn't vote for it. (It's also long, over 2,500 words, according to Microsoft Word.) If you like points laid out in a tidy and logical way, however, you will likely enjoy this post.
I voted for "Iran, the EU and the PM," by Oliver Kamm, and I was the only one; to quote the young Indiana Jones, "everyone's lost but me?" Kamm addresses the failure of the Europeans to pull up their socks and confront Iran.
