A Review of Bill Bennett's new book Why We Fight

Quote: Tolerance too often seeps into nonjudgmentalism, which as Bennett notes, is a sickness "encouraging a paralysis of the moral faculty."

We need more people saying this. One thing that always mystifies me is how people who think religion is equivalent to mindrot keep twisting and pushing beliefs from the New Testament--turning the other cheek, for example. Except that turning the other cheek only works with people who strike you on the cheek. If they kill you, the phrase is without meaning. When people are trying to kill you, I don't think that religion requires you to allow you life to be taken, but apparently a lot of peaceniks do.
