I think multicultural &#8220;Star-Trek&#8221; thinking is what is (was) hurting us most in Iraq and Afghanistan. We were too afraid to be American&#8217;s and walk in and ask what American&#8217;s usually ask, how can we make a buck here (and in exchange you make a buck too). We should be going in like Poul Anderson&#8217;s Falkayn or Van Rijn, not like Picard.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/ordinary-gentlemen.com\/blog\/2014\/02\/25\/the-answer-to-the-question-who-cares\" target=\"_blank\">Gay activists remark\u00a0<\/a>on the Collins\/Sam coming &#8220;out&#8221; and that is on side of the coin. What is missed by all of these remarks is the other side. How Collins and Sam are barely-in-the-game (Collins a 12th man and Sam a late round draft possibility) by their &#8220;brave&#8221; action getting national attention and SI covers. How brave is it to do something which yields fame and fortune?<\/li>\n<li>So, much has been made of the Thomas\/Tobin not talking during oral argument things, e.g.,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ricochet.com\/main-feed\/What-Jeffrey-Toobin-Gets-Wrong-About-Justice-Thomas\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.

It&#8217;s interesting that the negative remarks by Tobin get lots of talk and coverage, but the more damning negative remarks of racism and the North-East elites by Justice Thomas get so little.
