Thanks for the ping.

The next weekend half a million illegal immigrants -- whoops, sorry, half a million fine upstanding members of the Undocumented-American community-- took to the streets, and you suddenly realized what a big-time demonstration is supposed to look like. These guys aren't even meant to be in the country and they can organize a better public protest movement than an anti-war crowd that's promoted 24/7 by the media and Hollywood.

LOL

Thanks, Pokey! Unexcerpted! Just for that, you get a clooney/sarandon pic....

to see Cindy Sheehan get arrested for the 15th time that week

Isn't there a law somewhere under which she could be shuffled away for being a perpetual public nuisance?

"If it is already posted why are you reading this one?"

- Perhaps it's just FreedomPoster's polite way of informing goldstategop that before wasting his time and bandwidth that he take 30 seconds to check and see if someone has already posted the article.
It should be as automatic as using the spell check before hitting post.

Jack Straw, the British foreign secretary, gave a typical Western government official's speech the other day explaining that "a large number of Muslims in this country were -- understandably -- upset by those cartoons being reprinted across Europe and at their deeply held beliefs being insulted. They expressed their hurt and outrage but did so in a way which epitomized the learned, peaceful religion of Islam."

Here, Mark Steyn demonstrates that he does not understand understated British humor. This is a stinging rebuke to Islam.

"The learned, peaceful religion of Islam"? And that would be the guys marching through London with placards reading "BEHEAD THE ENEMIES OF ISLAM" and "FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IS WESTERN TERRORISM" and promising to rain down a new Holocaust on Europe? This is geopolitics as the Aretha Franklin Doctrine: The more the world professes its R-E-S-P-E-C-T, the more the Islamists sock it to us.

And here, Mark Steyn demonstrates that he has a truly embarrassing lack of understanding of Aretha Franklin...

I love ya' Mark, if you're out there. You're still tops in my book!
