4588686 Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 If you haven't been following Vice's podcast series then you are doing yourself a great disservice. Reihan Salam is one of the most interesting conservative thinkers today and Vice's readership tends to tact towards the left and consequently most of the guests tend to be on the left. Which leads to a lot of interesting exchanges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG-OrbF4Fjs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4588686 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 This is not one of the better ones. I don't think that Jose Antonio Vargas came into this discussion with any sense that he'd be talking to someone like Salam who is vastly more intellectually substantive than the typical cable pundit. It's a little frustrating seeing Reihan trying to pin down Jose to follow through the implications and consequences of his assertions and Jose kind of just jumping around.

Winchester Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Fear of immigrants is a mental deficiency. It's often a symptom of nationalism, which is, as Einstein put it, the measles of mankind. Although I think measles is a human disease, so measles is also the measles of mankind. My favorite part of the immigration debate is watching conservatives argue for government involvement in private contracts. My least favorite part of the immigration debate is seeing otherwise halfway decent people argue for crimes against humanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winchester Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 I doubt that. Well, they're definitely the minority in several Muslim countries, already. I don't think that will change in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
