Any Day You Learn Something Is A Good Day! Do You Know This Word: OIKOPHOBIA
James Taranto of the WSJ Best of the Web Today addresses the pro-mosque crowd:
"The Ground Zero mosque is an affront to the sensibilities of ordinary Americans. "The center's association with 9/11 is intentional and its location is no geographic coincidence," as the Associated Press has reported. That Americans would find this offensive is a matter of simple common sense. The liberal elites cannot comprehend common sense, and, incredibly, they think that's a virtue. After all, common sense is so common.
The British philosopher Roger Scruton has coined a term to describe this attitude: oikophobia. Xenophobia is fear of the alien; oikophobia is fear of the familiar: "the disposition, in any conflict, to side with 'them' against 'us', and the felt need to denigrate the customs, culture and institutions that are identifiably 'ours.' " What a perfect description of the pro-mosque left"
OK all you lefty OIKOPHOBICS out there - change your ways! You should not fear this great country or its systems. Learn to appreciate what they have accomplished in 200+ years! Everything has faults - the alternative you are pursuing has MANY MORE!
It has been a good day!
