Ross Douthat's column in the New York Times today defending those who oppose the building of a Muslim cultural center in downtown Manhattan is EXACTLY the same as his column last week against the legalization of gay marriage:
Yes, yes. I'm a smart, enlightened conservative, and I agree you liberals make some excellent points. But you've got to realize that heterosexual marriage (last week) and white xenophobic discrimination (this week) are American institutions that are so ineffably awesome and special that you're just gonna have to go along with us conservatives on this.
