In either case, I'm sure those critics in socialist countries are just jealous of our freedom from universal health care, and so they make stuff up to feel better about themselves.<br /><br />http://www.benched42.net/tag/funny/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-12672379808012858832014-01-15T14:28:07.242-08:002014-01-15T14:28:07.242-08:00Heh. And reading Roger Kimball's site makes me...Heh. And reading Roger Kimball's site makes me want to start blogging again.<br /><br />I have one quibble, though, with this point:<br /><br />===<br /><br />7. Only in America … Can they have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.<br /><br />===<br /><br />Our focus here ought not to be on the media. The far more dangerous, institutionalized appeasement is in Washington, especially in the Republican Party people count on to stand on guard for the nation. Let us refuse to be misdirected. Never, ever forget what happened six days after the 911 attack:<br /><br />"President Bush visited a mosque and bought coffee for a cafeteria full of aides yesterday as he appealed to Americans to get back to everyday business and not turn against their Muslim neighbors.<br /><br />"In his socks, as is Muslim practice, Bush padded through the ornate mosque on Washington"s Embassy Row and heard stories from his hosts about Muslim-American women afraid to leave their homes for fear of prejudiced backlash after last week"s terrorist strikes.<br /><br />"'Those who feel like they can intimidate our fellow citizens to take out their anger don"t represent the best of America, they represent the worst of humankind and they should be ashamed of that kind of behavior,' Bush said, his back to the brilliantly tiled prayer alcove facing Mecca.<br /><br />"He quoted from the Quran and fervently defended the Islam faith: 'Islam is peace. These terrorists don"t represent peace, they represent evil and war.'<br /><br />"The Federal Bureau of Investigation has, since last Tuesday"s suicide bombings, opened 40 hate crime investigations into reported attacks on Arab-Americans, including two killings possibly motivated by anti-Arab sentiment, said FBI Director Robert Mueller.<br /><br />http://www.michigandaily.com/content/bush-visits-mosque-urges-tolerance<br /><br />That's just one example. I could write pages that are soaked in the wasted blood of our troops and defiled by George Bush's omnipresent fingerprints.Lastangonoreply@blogger.com
