I guess they weren't around for all the IRA bombings in the past. Didn't work then and it won't work now.
Perhaps all of them should be deported and sent back to whatever black hole they came from. I haven't the foggiest how to separate the good from the bad, or even if we should bother. But we should do something, and quick.
Doubt it - the IRA bombers were dreaded WHITE CHRISTIAN MALES.
Since they weren't a race, ethnicity, or religion that has been 'historically victimized' by 'Western imperialism', the PC police never rallied to their defense to give them the pass they're now giving to the Muslim murderers.
Deport, detain, and if necessary, defenestrate. Maybe from the Tower of London..
Domestic Policy: All Muslims have one week to settle their affairs and report to a port of embarkation for transport to Syria.
Foreign Policy: Shoot on sight for any Moslems.
Sounds like the Democrats and for good reason. They are all working from the same playbook with the Muslims as the designated hit men.
None, the Democrats and other leftists nor the Muslims, believe in the political process as we know it. They can't win in the arena of ideas so they resort to sterner measures of intimidation.
We are in a fight for ours lives and freedom, including against the Democrats, and we had better snap to that fact. This is no longer bean bag, this is life or death. It is time to stand up, heart me Republicans, and let their threats and intimidation meet a stern rebuke. We must carry on as men of honor with the strength and willingness to follow OUR principles, not theirs.
FOUND IT! It's called Islam.
They should be arrested for extortion, or aiding and abetting extortion.

There needs to some foreign policy changes alright - closing the borders to muslims, expulsion of ALL foreign muslims, and detention of muslim citizens who incite or excuse muslim violence.
Once again, I urge all westerners to shun all muslims. Don't shop in their businesses, don't speak to them or reply when they speak to you. When you see one in public, cross the road to avoid getting near one. If one sits near you, move away. Spit when you pass a mosque. Let them know in every possible way that you despise them - that they are rabid dogs. When they complain, tell them if they don't like it, get the hell back to wherever they came from, and take ken livingstone with them.
And tell our politicians to start speaking to these goons like a freedom fighter would speak to a fascist. These scumbags have been "in our face" way too long - we need to get "in their face" in a big, bad way.
and where is it written the greatest powers in the world should listen to some of the least???
Face it. There is no difference.

When I first left Northern Ireland and came to England, I found the Left-wing salon apologists for the IRA every bit as creepy and wrong as I did the far-Right, racist nuts who venerated the loyalist paramilitaries. I encountered more of the IRA apologists, however, because they were more prone to conceive of themselves as daring, radical intellectuals, and put themselves about in polite society.
I thought then, and still think now, that any glib justification of paramilitary activity showed a shocking lack of human imagination: just a brief look through Lost Lives, a compendium of all those who died in the Troubles, is enough to suggest the weight of pain which the IRA and the loyalist paramilitaries inflicted upon people vastly more admirable than themselves.
I cannot believe that the country that withstood the terrorism of the Luftwaffe will fall to the terrorism of backward savages.
I was in London on July 7 and, needless to say, the coverage was universal and 24/7. On the news, it took no time at all for the Muslim leaders to begin to appear for interviews. To a person, the response was the rote condemnations in generalities immediately followed by a) questioning that it was even done by Muslims, b) attributing the acts not to the bombers but to the wests failure to address the underlying root causes leading to the disaffection and disenfranchisement of the Muslim community as a whole, and c) braying in unison about the inevitable attacks on the Muslim community that were sure to follow. Indeed, I heard one leader actually make the statement that the real victims here are the Muslim community.
Let me interject that it was my observation that the Muslim non-leaders were far different. The Muslim men and women who were seen commenting in on-the-street interviews on television and in letters to the editors in the days following were direct and vehement in their condemnation of the acts and the perpetrators. And days later I happened past a makeshift memorial near the Edgeware station and the condemnations were equally direct and pointed. It was the professional leaders that sought to turn the barbarism into an opportunity for their own self-aggrandizement. At best.
In reaction, I have to state the following: We are under NO obligation whatsoever to address these so-called root causes in lieu of actively combating terrorism. There is no underlying cause and no underlying issue that legitimately leads to or justifies the barbarism. To those that cite this, I say: I wont say I dont care if you are disenfranchised, disaffected, disillusioned, disheartened, or dis-anything else. I actually do to an extent. But the idea that I need to fix it for you is not only stupid but demeaning to you. And the idea that if I dont fix it for you, you will kill me is...well, lets just call it counterproductive.
One other point: If these underlying causes in fact affect and engender disenchantment and feelings of disenfranchisement in the Muslim community as a whole which was the point being made and addressing these underlying conditions is the answer to terrorism, are these people not thereby stating that terrorism is not a function of an extremist minority but is a legitimate reaction of the Muslim community as a whole? Thats them talking, not me. But in attempting to divert blame and causation away from the perpetrators to underlying issues that they assert affect the Muslim community as a whole, arent they at the very least implying that the terrorists are acting on behalf of if not for that community?
This is not about Iraq. It's about Islamofacists wanting to rule the known universe. Doesn't anyone get it?
#56 should have read: Don't these nimrods get it? Or is it that they think this argument, when repeated often enough, will convince anyone?
I guess the moderate ones are the ones that haven't blown themselves up yet.
That's a remarkably perceptive way of putting it. You've got it dead right.
Michael Savage may be a bit kooky sometimes, but he's right about at least 1 thing: "Liberalism is a Mental Disorder".
