The Craziest thing I have heard since September 11th (Vanity post)

Sounds to me like you need a new circle of friends. The ones you have now are brain damaged. Good thing you come here to get your reality fix!

Briefly, what I think happened was that originally we were all on the same page: Cold War Liberals, if you will, like the late Scoop Jackson and even President Kennedy. But as the Democrats became more and more leftist and anti-American, many people just ignorantly followed them while the rest of us looked elsewhere: Republican, Independent, Libertarian, etc. I believe that if JFK was around today, they'd call him a right-wing extremist.

The Craziest thing I have heard since September 11th (Vanity post)

Leaving a protest-the-peaceniks rally, carrying my sign that said, "An American soldier saved your whiney, hiney today!," a Muslim woman wearing a headscarf, says to ME, "GO HOME!"

Alice-in-Wonderland. Sure hope this ain't the future of America.

[Chi-townChief]

That's another classic! You have to wonder what country you're in sometimes.

[DoughtyOne]

Heavens, friend you need new friends and new neighbors. Sell that place and move. Heh heh heh. Seriously, these folks are amazingly dim!

[ChadGore]

She sounds like the head of left wing thinktank, at the very heart of democRAT thinking in the USA.

[cayuga]

You hit it on the head. I can't watch a press conference anymore because the reporters are so stupid. They just don't get it.

[I still care]

A reporter the other day took a videotape to one of those Pakistani Islam schools. The reporter convinced the headmaster to let him show the students the WTC attack. The students were stunned, they had no idea. Even in this Al-Qaeda propaganda factory they were shocked and immediately began decrying the attackers as un-Islamic terrorists and had a completely different opinion of the US bombing.

Arkinsaw, I have to say I find that very interesting, troubling and encouraging all at the same time.

[Chi-townChief]

You give her too much (or too little) credit. It's just a huge knowledge gap. Something that was glossed over in the educational system.

[Arkinsaw]

Yep, I was pretty amazed also. We obviously are not getting our message across over there. I was amazed at how many people interviewed thought that the US had decided to bomb for no apparent reason because the Mullahs had not told them what happened in New York.

[Kermit]

How could she have missed the gazillion war movies made? Patton, Saving Private Ryan, The Longest Day, etc., etc.

[Chi-townChief]

I wondered about that myself - I've been told that people from her part of Europe, the Balkans, are highly focused on their own local history and care little about the rest of the world. She can tell you about all of their wars against the Turks over 600 years ago, for example.

[Kermit]

If you live in this country, you could not avoid the hoopla over Saving Private Ryan, unless you were Amish.

[Chi-townChief]

I agree, it is mystifying and disheartening. And she's actually Serbian Orthodox, not even close to Amish.
