its been that way for a while now.

Dont cave in to the euroweenie socialists

America loves a free Ireland

A land rich in history with a strong back and a welcolming smile. A "dont let the bastards grind you down" ATTITUDE

I hate the PC crap as of late and youve got to turn that tide but I love your country.

Im atrocius at the keyboard Perhaps some day soon we can can in person

[mylife]

I meant maybe we could meet one day soon in Ireland

[Irish_Thatcherite]

That's fine - I just hope you don't support Sinn Fein/IRA (please don't) - I've come across many who do here on FR!!

[Red Sea Swimmer]

Rapists also don't take "NO !" for an answer.

[Brian Allen]

<< "Public interst criteria"? Somewhere in hell, Joseph Goebbels is laughing his a*s off! >>

In Hell?

Don't kid yourself.

Joe Goebbels is alive and well and gallops about, splitting his time among the DNC, the BBC, CNN-International, "china's," South-East Asia's and India's various "'news'-agencies" -- and Foggy Bottom's self-annointed, self-appointed and self-perpetuating bastard-offspring-of the Alger-Hiss branch of the Communist Party of America-descended brahmanas -- and that un-and-anti-American gang's far-flung Foreign[er] Service[ers]!

[Thanks for the ping, Pokes]

[Neophyte]

Now our 'Rat dominated legislature has passed "gay rights" with no citizen input and done so in a fashion that leaves only 90 days to get the required signatures for a referendum.

So they violated the established procedure. Take them to the court.

That the French government could think that an endorsement by Woody Allen would improve their standing with the American people is itself a sad testament to the ever-widening Atlantic chasm.

But it produced Woody's funniest work in 30 years. Of course, Steyn is still funnier.

[American in Israel]

He deplores the First Amendment and misses government-regulated media, which in the EU ensures that all public expression is within approved parameters (left to center-left). "Europe," he explains, "acts to ensure that television and radio conform to public interest criteria." "Public interest criteria" doesn't mean criteria that the public decide is in their interest. It means that the elite -- via various appointed bodies -- decide what the public's interest is. Will Hutton is a member of the European elite, so that suits him fine. But it's never going to catch on in America -- I hope.

Sorry, way to late on that one. America's media is filtered finer than your morning coffee. They all lie the same. Living in Israel has shown me that. I am afraid the Elite's control America on just as tight as a leash.

Hence, lower than sane mortgage rates to fuel a real estate hyper inflation, followed by a reorganization of the bankruptcy laws. Or borders open as a barn door with free welfare to flood the gravy train, followed by changing passport laws.

Next you will see a depression making the banks own everything, followed by closed borders that you can no longer get passports to get out.

Its called debtors prison. As a wise man said "Those who would trade freedom for safety will find neither.
