How Can a Democrat (Party Member) Talk To An Islamist

   I'm guest blogging at [1]Democracy Arsenal, a Democratic Party insider
   blog.

   My first post is on [2]How Can a Democrat Talk To An Islamist.

     We can't send them tapes of Velvet Underground. We can't show them
     good American porn. We can't offer them a Christianized liberation
     theology. They don't know who Coltrane or Miles Davis are (nor
     care). The method of culture-war that we used to stoke the Soviet
     Bloc underground-democrats doesn't work with people so (freaking)
     conservative.
