One of the Best.
When a lefty/liberal/multi-culti/so much cleverer than everyone else type reads something by Theodore Dalrymple, does he nod in wise agreement or does his head explode with the effort of trying to deny irrefutable logic and common sense?
Here is an interview TD gave to Bernard Chapin of Front Page promoting his new book “In Praise of Prejudice: The Necessity of Pre-conceived Ideas.
A sample from the interview:
BC: Would you agree that the veneer of being non-judgmental is rather thin because those supposedly tolerant have no problem spewing all kinds of prejudicial invective about conservatives?
Theodore Dalrymple: The veneer of non-judgmentalism must always be thin, because non-judgmentalism is virtually an impossibility. The desirability of non-judgmentalism is itself a judgment; indeed, it is hardly too much to say that life is judgment. In effect, non-judgmentalism is a rhetorical stick with which to beat aspects of the status quo which the non-judgmentalist does not like.
