Bill Whittle Looks Like He's Becoming a Regular at NRO

Here's his latest column, "The Undefended City" . If you've never read Bill Whittle, you're really missing some incredibly inspireing , and very clear-headed writing. You can find all of his essays at his website, linked over at the right in my sidebar. He has also published them all in a book titled Silent America: Essays from a Democracy at War.

This Western Civilization… this American City… has earned the right to greet each sunrise with a blast of silver trumpets that can bring down mountains.

And what, really, is a Legion of Narcissists and a Confederacy of Despair against that?"
