Ping to a Republican-American Editorial.
If you want on or off this ping list, let me know.
Rubbish.
These people’s idea of “freedom” is a united Islamic theocracy that can effectively threaten and blackmail the West.
In Wisconsin there is a struggle against Freedom. The participants are at war to live their lives as they please on the plantation subservient to their Union masters. The enslavement of whites is accepted as a wonderful gift and well worth fighting for.
Maybe true of ~50% of people.
There are plenty of Zer0 supporters in the US who don't appear to actually want freedom (and all that comes with it). Then there are all of those who wish to embrace the non-thinkers "religion" of Mad Mo'.
Good article.
The only problem is that we now have weakling idiots in office in Washington who will not use U.S. influence, what’s left of it, to install good governance in Libya and Egypt and Tunisia, etc.
What’s left is a void that will likely be filled with evil and do us harm.
Nobody respects us any more, much less fears us. The pantywaist muslim wannabe in the White House is well on the way to ruining us.
I believe that the vast majority of people, given the choice, would much rather live in freedom. True freedom and liberty also brings with it usually peace and prosperity but along with it, it also means carrying responsibility on a personal level and sharing that responsibility with fellow citizens of the countries they reside in.
The events in the Middle East are far from complete. This rush to credit Bush is premature.
I dunno, just thinkin it's time we put America first.
I guess these editorial writers are unaware that both Iraq and Afghanistan based their new constitutions on sharia law. And it remains to be seen what sort of new governments will emerge in Egypt and the other Arab nations currently experiencing a peoples’ uprising. - And maybe they missed the fact that half the Christians in Iraq left during the first years after the US invasion, and that those remaining are being persecuted and murdered at an increasing rate.
The notion that democracy and freedom mean the same things to all people around the world is total nonsense, but that doesn’t seem to stop many Americans from continuing to indulge in that fantasy.
Who is “Mr” Bush?
A relative of President Bush?
Here, they have decided that the people rioting in the streets are the "good" side and the answer is "democracy".
They ignore inconvenient facts, like "democracies" which adhere to sharia law don't offer freedom of speech or religion. They persecute females, mutilating them as young girls, murdering them as adults. This destruction of male-female relations leads to young men with rearings so perverse that the prospect of suicide-murder missions seems desirable. They enshrine a culture of death.
How do we deter a culture that values death more than life? We need a Crusade of Ideas to recapture the Middle East. We need to convince people that their lives are better in civilized nations rather than the barbarism of the Caliphate. To win the battle, we need to identify, understand and articulate the values that make up civilized society. Tough to do when many of us take them for granted, having lived in them all our lives.
In Marc Theisen's book, he lamented that this war of ideas was identified shortly after 9/11 but never prosecuted. We've put it off long enough. With the governments in the Middle East being swept away, now is the time.
No, I don't know how we do it. Perhaps we need to split out the many Muslims who can reconcile their religion with living in a modern, secular society. Could some Inmams living in the U.S. explain how it's done? Are the Muslim women who live in modern societies with their faces uncovered "valid" Muslims? If so, how can the Sharia regimes insist they're not? If it's all interpretation, then we need to clear and hold countries, or even parts of countries, one at a time. Kind of like the Kurdish section of Iraq, a sanctuary within a nightmare. People would vote with their feet for freedom.
If we lose, if the Middle East dominoes all topple to sharia, then we get to practice asymetrical warfare on them. It's much easier to destroy and disrupt then to build and maintain. Well, the shoe will be on the other foot. The sharia freaks will have to maintain their rule. Tough to do without funding, aid, trade, electricity, etc.
God Bless The Bushes! I miss their Christmas cards.
The Demwit partisan shills on CNN were smearing and spinning tonight — was Bush too easy on Gaddafi?
Thanks Graybeard58.
