FrontPage Magazine: You make the shrewd observation of how political correctness engenders evil because of “the violence that it does to people’s souls by forcing them to say or imply what they do not believe, but must not question.” Can you talk about this a bit?

Theodore Dalrymple: Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

I have 6 months left of my 18 month contract, but am spending 3 times my tariff cost on extra costs. I pay about £35 for rental and 400mins and 500 texts any network anytime, but my bill comes regularly to £90 odd pounds as I am using about 600+ minutes. Can I call and negotiate a better deal? What kind of deal should I expect?

Let's all try to take the emotion out of it if possible. Love him (all 10 of you) or Hate him, history tries to document actual events from a presidency.

How will the history books actually document the last 8 years?

By the way - don't jumpt down my throat. I am a proud American and support the office of President fully, even though there are certainly things I passionately disagree on that have been done in the past 8 years.

The Antichrist is the greatest deceiver of all time. The Bible indicates he will even pretend to be religious. In fact, he will ultimately pretend to be God, and be worshipped as God half way through the Apocalypse. More than any other president Bush wears his religion on his sleeve - both for political gain, and to deceive the world. Presidential assistant David Kuo quit his post because he was convinced that Bush had deceived conservative Christians.

Bush says that God (rather than the Supreme Court) chose him to lead the nation, and he sees himself on a divine mission. Bush told an Amish group in Pennsylvania that "God speaks through me." Another story that ran in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz tells how Bush had told Middle East leaders that " God told me to strike at al Qaeda and I struck them, and then he instructed me to strike at Saddam [ Hussein], which I did”

What's important about these voices Bush is hearing, which are effectively telling him to go kill people,

To me this makes no sense. I want to lose weight by drinking Protein shakes, but it also cause people who want to build muscle do so? I don't want to get big like bodybuilders. Is there a trick to making the Protein Shakes go in the direction you want them to?

I wish I was born in Victorian times, all that Dickensian stuff. London in those days was really buzzin and I would love to have ridden in a horse and cart. And the clothes were lovely- especially all those lovely long dresses.
