Christopher Hitchens

Some of my favorite people are former marxists. Thomas Sowell for one. And another is Christopher Hitchens. Chris eventually came to the same conclusions that I have about the nature of the left:

I learned that very often the most intolerant and narrow-minded people are the ones who congratulate themselves on their tolerance and open-mindedness.

Very true. And now we learn that sadly, Chris has contracted esophageal cancer. Let's hope that he defeats it, just like he has defeated the lunacy of the left.
