Here is a comment on the Belmont Club today which might provide some grist for the SI mill.

There is something in the human psyche that filters reality to what is acceptable. You see scenes of the worst slums on the planet and superimposed are people going about the mundane chores and rituals of daily life. Survivors or terrible ordeals often enter a surreal world of imagined safety. I believe that is happening to the world regarding the death battle with radical islam. People really cannot take the truth.

It would be logical to show the death of the twin towers with fireman in the lobby asking about the thumping outside and being told it was jumpers. You would hear the crashing bodies. It would be good to see the falling man plunging downward upside down. This would be good because all is so unbelievable. Sane normal educated people no longer believe it. Who would believe that someone could cut the head off an alive innocent human being while screaming "god is great".

We are faced with evil incarnate. Those that can look must see. We have to understand that most cannot and will not see or help. They cannot face the truth and strike out at those who try to convince them of the danger. They are irrelevant and useless in the fight to destroy the Islamic orcs. We must support in every way possible those that understand the fight and are who prepared to assist the jihadis to hell.

The intellectual effete at the NYT haven't noticed that there is an enemy that wants to slit our collective throats.
