“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.”

You cannot defeat an enemy you are unwilling to name...


Looks like the radical Islamic jihadists have struck again, this time in India...

Seven bombs hit Bombay's commuter rail network during rush hour Tuesday evening, killing at least 105 people and wounding more than 300 in what authorities called a well-coordinated attack. Chaos engulfed the crowded rail network in India's financial capital following the blasts that ripped apart train compartments as authorities struggled to treat the wounded amid heavy monsoon downpours. Doors and windows were blown off the train cars, and luggage and debris were strewn across the tracks. The bombings in Bombay came hours after a series of grenade attacks by Islamic extremists killed eight people in the main city of India's part of Kashmir.

This evening, watch the news and take an informal pole seeing if the media link this terrorist attack with a radical interpretation of Islam. They will look for every possible target for blame (regional politics over Kashmir, cultural strife between Indians and Pakastanis, George Bush is evil incarnate) to avoid mentioning that the perps were most likely Islamic.

Since when did it get to be so awful to name your enemy? The enemy is radical Islam. It's not unassimilated Arabic youth. It's not disgruntled north African immigrants who can't find jobs. It is anybody who subscribes to the radical interpretation of Islam which states that all infidels must be converted or killed.

Who came up with the name, Religion of Peace, anyway?

I completely concur. Until the good side is willing to declare who the dark side is and where they are coming from, this madness will never stop. Innocent people will continue to die and their families and friends will continue to suffer. Unfortunately, our soldiers will also be put in harms way and some will die. It is high time that the non-insane, anti-Islamic crowd tattle on the rabid mohammad-ite terrorists, and start exposing them for all our sakes. Until the world understands that any Muslim will operate from a peaceful stance when in the minority, but becomes ruthless and will eliminate all non-believers when operating from a position of strength, we are doomed to the constant roller coaster of suicide bombings, sniper attacks, exploding buses and trains, etc. Unite against a common enemy, put aside differences until a safer world exists. When and where will the next attack happen? Tokyo? Buenos Aires? Selma, AL? I am refusing to go quietly into the night. I have contacted all of this states representation in the federal government, and have asked that they try to help reach a decision (w/o partianship) to stop this endless cycle of violence. If we must, then we should deal in kind, but these folks need to be wiped away and leave this world in a better way. I amm noww stepping down from the soap box Sorry

Yes, where are the believers in the Religion of Peace when these terrorists attacks take place that claim the lives of hundreds of innocents?
Where is CAIR to condemn the attacks as being inconsistent with the teachings of Islam?
Where are the rank and file Muslims in the U.S. who will stand up and say, "We do not condone these acts and will practice good citizenship by ratting out those who do"?
Where are all the Muslims who claim to believe in peace?
I'll tell you where they are. They are skulking in their madrasses around the world secretly happy when their radical, murdering brethren succussfully carry out a strike at the heart of the great satan by slaughtering civilian women and children, that's where!
