We've discussed this before, and what they are doing is feeding the beast in hopes it will eat them last. Oddly, much like their economics, they seem to be moving to a more conservative stance (Germany's Angela Merkel in particular) while we gleefully toss the First Amendment and pander to those who would destroy us if they can. Paraphrasing the quote misattributed to Volatire: "I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death my right to criticize you for saying it."LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-70884566070492727962010-12-04T21:02:07.288-05:002010-12-04T21:02:07.288-05:00Wow!

We must take back the English language, and restore honesty, by affirming our 1st amendment rights, without exception. We have no right not to be offended. The West is slowly losing it’s greatness to an insipid cult, that have the morals of the Klan. I really have no patience with this crap any longer, it must be thrown back with every ounce of energy. I see us in the not too distant future having to save Europe again. If we have to do it a third time, being a baseball fan, three strikes you’re out. We’ll just keep it this time.StanHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395708786509590321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-35972032596947295672010-12-04T20:44:20.161-05:002010-12-04T20:44:20.161-05:00Bev: LOL I wondered who'd be the first.

First my kids, now my grandkids, insist on watching Sound of Music at Christmas time, and it's mid-February before I can get the dumb song out of my head.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-74092273440506522632010-12-04T20:41:43.708-05:002010-12-04T20:41:43.708-05:00Thanks, Lawhawk...now I can't get that dang Go...Thanks, Lawhawk...now I can't get that dang Goatherd song out of head!BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-61212273229627163562010-12-04T13:57:28.514-05:002010-12-04T13:57:28.514-05:00Andrew: I agree (my mother's family is from B...Andrew: I agree (my mother's family is from Bavaria which shares a lot in common with the mountain Austrians). They did indeed hold back the Ottomans at the gates of Vienna, but they don't seem to be doing as well this time. Maybe the Trapp family singers can help, but I doubt it. After all, they might be tempted to yodel.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-40328418969615349632010-12-04T13:48:30.668-05:002010-12-04T13:48:30.668-05:00Austria is a beautiful country with interesting po...Austria is a beautiful country with interesting politics and an interesting history. After all, it was in 1683 at the Gates of Vienna that they held back the Ottoman Empire and changed the course of Western history as it marked the end of the Ottoman Empire's expansion into Europe.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-20954359210320878212010-12-04T13:02:47.312-05:002010-12-04T13:02:47.312-05:00Tehachapi Tom: The religious/political nature of ...Tehachapi Tom: The religious/<i>political</i> nature of Islam is what a great many people miss. Among the rest of us, our politics and our religion are separate entities which influence each other. In Islam, they are one and the same. <br /><br />Crime is in the eye of the beholder. One group has managed to convert much of its uncivil behavior into the grounds for suing or prosecuting those who object. Case in point--loudspeakers OK, yodeling bad.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-62394283984110853732010-12-04T11:44:29.302-05:002010-12-04T11:44:29.302-05:00O'boy I have been struggling for a way to disp...O'boy I have been struggling for a way to display my distaste for the polito-religious identity of Islam. <br />Hawk thanks for the list you have identified the prime areas for creative thought. You only listed six<br />but that should be enough to stay busy with for a few minutes.<br /><br />You did say the group was praying inside their house and had speakers outside blaring away did you not? Wouldn't that be the first crime? Disturbing the peace will get a response here, probably not though if it's Muslims.<br /><br />Good read on absurdity.Tehachapi Tomnoreply@blogger.com
