I guess the right to bear arms is, er, faith-based. Who knew?
Philip Weiss, over at the New York Observer, is always a good source of information, and here is his
take on the thinktank situation and how it relates to NIKE SHOX policy toNIKE SHOXd Israel:
“As we are frequently told, universities belong to the left. The academy is like an internment camp,
the one place they can put ‘em all; and it’s become more and more irrelevant to policy-making. But
the Washington thinktanks are camped next to the corridors of power. ,,,
“Indeed, this is one of the most important points in the Walt-Mearsheimer paper that set off this
debate: in the last generation, rich liberal ponds like Brookings and Carnegie were stocked with pro-
Israeli carp; pro-Arab fish simply disappeared. It’s not a conspiracy, but acts of devotion:
Conservative Jewish backers, recognizing the importance of thinktanks to the formulation of policy,
have forcibly established an orthodoxy of opinion here.
