Quote of the Day

From the latest issue of First Things from the article “France’s Most Controversial Man,” namely Eric Zemmour, whom I have never heard of but who seems to be a sensible chap:

Zemmour’s rise coincides with a paradigm shift in French society: the increased willingness of those in the public square to criticize the left. The longstanding custom in French public life was that when it came to social and cultural matters, the left was exempt from criticism. Any criticism of leftist ideals was held to be immoral. The progressive left, however, bet big on a multicultural experiment; with almost daily Islamist attacks in France, their thesis has been very visibly falsified.

I always said that leftists were completely irrational to want to support their worst enemies, the Muslims.
