It tells you quite a lot about ‘conservatives’ like Mr. Kimball (not to mention the lot over at NR and The Weekly Standard) that they regularly praise the likes of Christopher Hitchens.

“sharp-taloned hawk on the subject of Islamic terrorism”

Pah! Warmongering Trotskyite neo-con would be more accurate. Of course it should also be added that Hitchens is one of the most vicious of the rabid, Christophobic atheists churning out screed after screed these days. He is an anti-Catholic bigot. Shame on any ‘conservative’ who wants to make common cause with him.
