The Left has no integrity and even fewer brains. They're so good at making others give up money and land (Israel, for instance...to Arabs that other Arab countries won't touch with a ten foot pole.) You and me...taxing us to death,(Hillary's famous quote about taking things away from us for the common good should be more than enough to deep six any WH ambitions, but pride goeth before a fall, etc..)

I can't wait to hear what they think France should do, and no matter how badly it turns out -- and it will -- that will be plan A. for when Detroit or any other Muslim packed city goes up in flames. They never learn.

The French are feckless. If burning down entire cities and torching people is enough to gain Muslims the French President's "respect," they'll up the ante. Surely there's more they can do to command his attention. As for talk of saving Europe, why - that horse has already fled the barn.

We finally know how a French thinking and French speaking President would act in the face of Al Qaeda - "I surender!"

Well the reasons will sound absolutely unreasonable, but I'll try. The French and europe as well, is a major part of what is aleged to be civilized western society. As long as they are smart enough to stay the hell out of our line of fire as we defend ourselves against the terrorist to whom they sell the weapons of our destruction-the suckasses as always will snuggle into a cozy win win position.

History is on their side.

My first gut reaction is, had sKerry and the rest of his elitist, commie ilk been in office right now, we might be the ones dealing with the nightly riots now.

Oh, absolutely. His thinking isn't different than Chirac when it comes to dealing with Muslims. Chirac's answer to all these riots and violence is “let's have a dialogue”... “a spirit of dialogue and respect” to be more specific.

The French are reaping the harvest they planted - by allowing Muslims galore to invade France without any assimilation taking place, and by not recognizing that Islam and democracy are incompatible, they have become the prime witness of their own failure.

Automated "Ads by Google" appear at the bottom of the Steyn article on the Sun Times site. When I viewed it, the first one was:

Meet Tens of Thousands of MuslimSingles for Love and Friendship.
www.MuslimFriends.com

If you're French, you don't need to click through. They're all coming over for dinner, without an invitation.

unfortunately, the stakes are too important to allow US inaction, even if the french deserve it. the stakes are just too high and we need to help sarkozy turn this around.

the anti-US MSM can hide what is going on in france from the US public, but rest assured that french public are waking to their worst nightmare and will act if they see their way of life threatened by the ragheads.

IMHO france will ultimately conclude that GWB and the neo-cons were spot-on in assessing what 9/11 was really about: villepin (and schroeder) will be seen as this generation's neville chamberlains, appeasers to a threat ultimately more dangerous than hitler's panzers.

Thanks, but I am not a Christian. And if I was, I still do not see how that would matter.

If the same thing happens here that is going on in France I believe the American citizens would grab their guns and put an end to it.

Unless we had a Democrat in office then I think they would use the police and military to try to disarm us.

Churchill was the greatest, IMHO.

He was so far ahead of his times in understanding of Islam etc.

That would be akin to telling police not to eat meat in front of Catholics during Lent.

The point being, that the Catholic wouldn't be compelled by his religion to kill you for not adhering to it also.

They want Israel to take out their dirty laundry. I honestly believe that Jews are God's chosen children and God created the Jews to keep his buddy Mohammeds kids in check.

It all began when Abraham got impatient...

Democrats = American's Islamics?

Nah, they're America's Neville Chamberlains. What you are looking for is a mass of people in a country who have great antipathy to the language, culture and values of that country. The Islamics fit the bill but don't have the numbers. The Mexicans, on the other hand...

This is my eighth year teaching Old Testament to my parish's sixth graders (I'm one of 50+ teachers for 400+ students in each middle school grade). I love the stories we teach: Abraham, Jacob & Esau, Ruth, David & Goliath, to name just a few.

Abraham is special to me, for his complete trust in God, even if he less than 100% obedient all of the time (i.e. with Hagar, for example).

A recurring theme that I stress is the way God works through ordinary people, and how forgiving and loving He is.
