Both the Leftists and the Jihadists have Sore Loser Derangement Syndrome.
The Jihadists have had it for over 50 years.
I'm currently reading a book, written in 1957, in which an expert had this to say about Islamic activism back then.
"That society has deteriorated to a point where violence is almost inevitable...pp. 158-59, Islam in Modern History, Wilfred Cantwell Smith, Princeton University Press--tired of being overwhemed, have leapt with frantic sadistic joy to burn and kill.
The burning of Cairo, the assassination of Prime Ministers, the intimidating of Christians, the vehemence and hatred in their literature--all this is to be understood in terms of a people who have lost their way, whose heritage has proven unequal to modernity, whose leaders have been dishonest, whose ideals have failed.
In this aspect, the new [in 1957] Islamic upsurge is a force not to solve problems but to intoxicate those who cannot longer abide the failure to solve them.
I think the liberals and progressives -- the Left -- regard 9/11 as a huge inconvenience, in that it brought President Bush considerable support from the middle, and interrupted their singleminded pursuit of his political destruction.
Republicans and conservatives generally never regarded Jimmy Carter with such incredible loathing, however much they might have disagreed with his priorities (economic malaise, windfall profits taxes, environmental polymania, political correctness, ostentatious dogooderism) or faulted his style (micromanagement, sweaters, flipping off light switches in the White House, general informality, "hi to the Chief", his brother Billy and his choice of political associates like Bert Lance, Ham Jordan, and Judge Griffin Bell), didn't hate him the way the Moonbats do Bush 43.
Conservatives despised Slick Willy, and they were right and proportionate to do so -- what he did covered the White House in infamy, and his associates did the same (some of his staffers bragged about "breaking in" the White House by deliberately committing homosexual sodomy within its walls). Some conservatives even grew to hate Clinton because he was bad, he was evil, and yet he survived his scandals, most principally by working corruption of the electorate itself.
No bones about it, Bill Clinton was a legendarily wicked President, and he made bad policy on the side, some of it intended to work political corruption of the Civil Service, other of it intended to cover up very great crimes, even enormous crimes like treason (and in the process allowing a great tragedy to befall the nation because of his damned "Chinese wall").
But the Moonbats' hatred for Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and now George W. Bush has always far exceeded in intensity, virulence, and purposiveness anything that the Right evinced for any of the Democratic presidents of the last 50 years except Clinton.
He has a permanent hatred of Ronald Reagan because the Big Boss Man made O'Neill look like the silly, ineffectual old drunken ass that he in fact was.
Reagan spoiled a lot of good times for little Chris.
Yes they are!!!

Amen and Amen!

Personally I think that the showing of this movie in the USA by anyone should be considered a traitorous act. Attempting to stir up enough hate to get some mentally ill deranged nut to actually attempt what the movie's agenda is.
IF THE dims WANT A REAL SHOOTING WAR WITH THE REPUBLICANS, they will find many Americans more than ready to ablige them. They DO NOT want to open that can of worms.One of the funniest things I ever read was on DU. Some of the Children In Black were keyboarding about insurrection. A saner poster observed that she didn't think this was an especially smart idea, as all her "freeper" neighbors were well armed and the most lethal thing in her house was the cat-discipline squirt bottle.

This is why the GOP, with all their faults, will continue to be the majority party. You do not give the keys to the asylum to the inmates
God Bless and protect President Bush!
AMEN!
“A large number of Bin Saud’s followers belong to the Wahabi sect, a form of Mohammedanism which bears, roughly speaking, the same relation to orthodox Islam as the most militant form of Calvinism would have borne to Rome in the fiercest times of the religious wars. The Wahabis profess a life of exceeding austerity, and what they practice themselves they rigorously enforce on others. They hold it is an article of duty, as well as faith, to kill all who do not share their opinions and to make slaves of their wives and children. Women have been put to death in Wahabi villages for simply appearing in the streets. It is a penal offense to wear a silk garment. Men have been killed for smoking a cigarette, and as for the crime of alcohol, the most energetic supporter of the temperance cause in this country falls far behind them. Austere, intolerant, well-armed, and bloodthirsty, in their own regions the Wahabis are a distinct factor which must be taken into account, and they have been, and still are, very dangerous to the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, and to the whole institution of the pilgrimage, in which our Indian fellow-subjects are so deeply concerned."
Winston Churchill, Speech to the House of Commons, 14 June 1921
I agree Rose. This is terrible.

Great find!!
I'm still trying to find out if the Muslim candidate in MN, Ellison, won the Dem primary yesterday. There have been conflicting reports...the Rats are insane!
Hollywood actors opinions are completely irrelevant regarding politics, the War on terror,or anything else of substance for that matter, but this comment leaves me speechless!
Heard it on Rush. Sick of it!
Pulled a Jan...fixed it! LOL

Poor Rosie...she has no idea.
