Anybody watch that special on CNN about the Muzzies Next Door?

[Pharmboy]

Yep...you nailed it. The only lefties that may be crazier than our own are the lefties in Israel. I have an Israeli friend who occasionally tells me about their last idiotic statement or action. They are totally surrounded and STILL sympathize with the Palies...at least we’re not surrounded. Yet.

All I can say is.... I never gave muslims a second thought until they murdered 3,000 people on our soil.

Thanks, but I’ll accept David Horowitz’ extensive research over your opinion.

Thanks, but I’ll accept David Horowitz’ extensive research over your opinion.

That's fine, but do you think Leftist are wise people?

European Christian imagination jelled — as European, as Christian, and as imagination — around the mythic 732 triumph of Charles Martel over “infidel’’ Muslim forces in a battle near Poitiers, France.

What were these "Muslim forces", the followers of the "religion of peace", doing in France, eh?

So, which was the better education?

College Classes?

Working and taking classes simultaneously?

The sheet rocking business and associated working environment (co-workers, employer, customers, weather, permits, delivery schedules (or lack thereof)?

Your entire life which flashed before your eyes during the encounter with the dog??

For those of you who are unfamiliar with him, Carroll is a left-wing, ex-Catholic priest who detests his own country every bit as much as radical Islamists do. His words are worth sober contemplation, if only to discern how deep runs the river of self-loathing within the American Left. It is so deep in fact, that they will excuse or ignore all atrocities committed by our enemies, ascribing "bigotry" to those who dare call attention to them.

I look forward quite obviously in vain for a follow-up article on the "roots of anti-Catholic bigotry". Or anti-Semitic bigotry, for that matter. Self hatred and love of "The Other" instead continue to nourish the poisonous roots of Liberalism.
