AT SEA IN THE SWAMP OF MORAL NARCISSISM: Michael Walsh reviews Roger Simon’s new book I Know Best: How Moral Narcissism Is Destroying Our Republic, If It Hasn’t Already:

Simon concludes I Know Best by outing himself as a “libertarian neocon,” a believer in smaller government and a more muscular foreign policy. “Those who wish to roll up the gangplanks and live in some libertarian nirvana, letting the rest of the world stew, strike me as naive beyond words. If you want to have paradise — or even a halfway decent existence — you have to be prepared to defend it.”

So that’s my moral narcissism — how “I know best.” Factor it in, but as you do, be sure to factor in that of others. It’s all around us, the most prevalent disease of our times. I have it, you have it, and everyone else has it too.

What’s yours?

Read the whole thing.

In addition to his ongoing interviews and reviews, Roger will be discussing his new book in person this December at Bullets & Bourbon in Texas.
