David Horowitz has been making the round promoting his new book Party of Defeat. My copy arrived a short time ago, and it is in my collection of soon-to-be-read books. If it is anything like the video below, I think it will be quite an informative read. How refreshing to listen to someone who actually can debate properly; that is, who lays out a thesis then provides points that prove the thesis in a clear linear fashion. Whenever I hear most liberals (and some conservatives) debate, there is little, if any, differentiation between what may be understood as an item of fact and an item which is merely something that people may believe but has no evidence to back it up. Nobody sums it up quite like Whoopi Goldberg, who said: "...if you want to go and get lots of facts and not go from your heart. I go from my heart."

I prefer facts, and I like it when they are strung together to form an actual compelling argument rather than an opinion based on how someone feels. That's why this video showing David Horowitz speaking about his new book is good viewing.
