Or more apt, it's like a pile of crap being called chocolate.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-18101618206421088432011-05-23T13:05:11.261-04:002011-05-23T13:05:11.261-04:00this post delighted me in so many ways. i mean it...this post delighted me in so many ways. i mean it's not often you get to reference Irish Spring with politics. plus the whole "tra la" thang.<br /><br />made me lol. gold star for you.Notawonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388997298014397980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-28461257597446461972011-05-23T01:23:18.194-04:002011-05-23T01:23:18.194-04:00Stan: I think you're right about the friend-o...Stan: I think you're right about the friend-of-my-friend thing.

However, God forbid, the liberals would be the first in the chopping block if a world caliphate were ever established. Hey, would that make the parable, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, work the other way. Hmmm… <br /><br />Our boy king has unleashed the whirlwind in the Middle East, putting it back together will be next to impossible. They are taking the moral equivalence arguments to a new and very dangerous world. Our new president (that was an assumptive close) in 2012 will have to have a steely resolve to put the $hit back in the horse…wow.StanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-26284785535824517842011-05-22T17:12:00.071-04:002011-05-22T17:12:00.071-04:00Tennessee: There is no single reason for liberals...Tennessee: There is no single reason for liberals being so tolerant of and even deferential toward Islamofascism. I would have to say that it's a combination of distaste for traditional Christianity, a newly-emerging and virulent anti-semitism, Marxist socialist egalitarianism, and an admiration for any government that brooks no opposition from those who disagree with the party in power. There is also the element of perpetual naivete and self-delusion about the real nature of the enemy. Likewise, we are not the first to discuss the social welfare mentality as a secular religion. That might partially explain why the left saw Obama more as messiah than candidate.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-87886525535624028762011-05-22T17:03:10.728-04:002011-05-22T17:03:10.728-04:00Andrew: I did phrase that incorrectly, though the...Andrew: I did phrase that incorrectly, though the idea was correct. It was a <i>referendum</i> on the formation of a new government, and the Islamofascists won 78% to 22% over traditional semi-sectarian parties. The results of the actual election are not expected to be much different, and they're likely to win the presidency to boot.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-6261123175642573132011-05-22T16:31:39.883-04:002011-05-22T16:31:39.883-04:00What is your take on liberals and Islam, Hawk?

I read where American Jews are not liking Bamster's position on Israel very much, but this has beensomething of an enigma to me. Maybe it is more like statist = atheist (where the state is the religion) = hate judeo-Christian traditions which remind them of free market capitalism. The problem with the last is that there is nothing quite as religion based as jihadism. Maybe it is as simple as "Bush supported Israel so screw them?"Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-84587995202928832992011-05-22T16:16:39.183-04:002011-05-22T16:16:39.183-04:00By way of a correction, the parliamentary election...By way of a correction, the parliamentary elections won't happen until at least September, so the Muslim Brotherhood doesn't have control of the parliament at this time.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.com
