Perfect point
Mark Steyn notes the BBC's continual refusal to name the enemy, especially in Europe.
It's a perfect point, but it could be expressed more sharply and forcefully:
... I'm frequently lectured by lazy cliche-recyclers that there's no freedom to shout "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. But the Left has removed our freedom to shout "Fire!" in a BURNING theatre.
= = = = =
And while we're talking about embracing the enemy ... if you want to get really, really, really pissed off, watch THIS SHIT.
It's the official meeting of the 'electors' for President here in Wash state. One of the 'electors' is a Mohammedan female who takes advantage of the situation to denounce America for making war on Allah. The other 'electors', presumably including some 'Republicans', GIVE HER A STANDING OVATION.
Actually, what pisses me off is not the Mohammedan traitor; she's being honest. No, what makes me ferociously angry is the standing ovation. Sultan Bush has brought us down to the point where we can't identify friends and foes. A completely misplaced and mispurposed war, combined with a scorched-earth destruction of our economic base, leaves us in a confused mess. We can't bring ourselves to declare straightforwardly that Sultan Bush belongs to the enemy, yet 100% of the evidence points that way. ¶ 6:17 AM
"Immigrant-dominated", eh? Is that a way of saying it's the most heavily Muslim neighborhood of Sweden's most Muslim city? Ah, well, let's not go that far. All the BBC is prepared to say is that the otherwise non-specific youths' riotous activities were "linked to the closure of an Islamic centre". ...
In my "free speech" crusade up in Canada, I'm frequently lectured by lazy cliche-recyclers that there's no freedom to shout "Fire!" in a crowded theatre. But in a burning city feel free to shout "Nothing to see here!" for another decade or three.
