Pat Sajak nails it…

I quote:

Picture this:

Somewhere in the world, a filmmaker creates a short documentary that chronicles what he perceives as the excesses of anti-abortion activists. An anti-abortion zealot reacts to the film by killing the filmmaker in broad daylight and stabbing anti-abortion tracts onto his body. How does the Hollywood community react to this atrocity? Would there be angry protests? Candlelight vigils? Outraged letters and columns and articles? Awards named in honor of their fallen comrade? Demands for justice? Calls for protection of artistic freedom? It�s a pretty safe bet that there would be all of the above and much more. And all of the anger would be absolutely justified.

So I�m trying to understand the nearly universal lack of outrage coming from Hollywood over the brutal murder of Dutch director, Theo van Gogh, who was shot on the morning of November 2, while bicycling through the streets of Amsterdam.

This reminds me of another article which I thought was called Feminism is Dead at the National Review, but I’ve not found it there or on the web at large. But the premise was that feminists basically stuck themselves on the side of keeping women in bondage in Afghanistan, being against making it a crime to kill a pregnant woman’s child, and opposing the brutal procedure known as partial birth abortion. They’ve gone so far off the pier (As has Hollywood) that they can’t come back and protest things that should be clearly obviously wrong to anyone with half a clue.

And the only one out there who seems to get it is Pat Sajak…
