I have never had the courage to read Solzhinitsyn because when I read of such pain, anguish, and despair, I physically feel discomfort and waves of anxiety. However, I have read various snippets and excerpts including I believe a whole chapter called "The Arrest". I could not take it. It's the same when I read about North Korea.

But the point made in this paragraph is truly profound. Regardless of what our leaders tell us, always remember that they have only one core value...power. Everything they do can be understood on that basis alone. They care not for principals, law, nor justice. That is why we must protect freedom by never allowing the Government to have total power over us. We have many warnings all around us. While we still can, we need to build institutions of resistance that can do exactly what the man who went through is trying to tell us.

Never trust an Arab. Arabs, for the most part, are Muslims. But more than that, there is no such thing as an Arab. It is an invention, just like Palestinians are an invention. There were people that wandered the desert in what is now known as the Arabian peninsula, but they were tribal and didn't identify as being Arabs until WW I. Plus that only happened on the persistence of the British in unifying the tribes to fight against the Ottoman Empire. Even today, most Arabs identify by their tribe before identifying as being an Arab. Just an aside, beware of what King Abdullah is saying. He is making a big deal out of fighting the Islamic State right now. This is all tribal to him and those in Jordan. It is tribal with the pilot that was burned, and that is the reason why Jordanians are rallying at the moment.

I don't know if Zogby identifies with his tribe, but he does identity as an Arab. In my book, he is not to be trusted.

Must be why you never hear about Zogby anymore. He jumped the goat.

[Chainsawj]

zogby, be careful what your ISIS Brothers do, we CHRISTIANS might get FEED UP and go CUSADER on your @ss.

[onedoug]

The majority of muslims agree to the implementation of sharia everywhere.

In my book that makes them radical.

Radical islamists who need be fought and decisively defeated.

[JSDude1]

No.

> we are speaking from the experience of a culture and a civilization that has erred in the past, that continues to err in the present, and that understands its own flaws and understands the need to move forward...

“Forward”, what a surprise. Thanks Steelfish.

[RaceBannon]

Okay, in case you never hear this from Obama, here is what muslims say when we arent around, this is what they REALLY think, in their own words:

zogby another syncophant

[TigersEye]

IOWs the terrorists aren’t so bad. Yeah, we get the gist, Zogby.

[mosesdapoet]

Interesting ! Won’t jump on this now. Zogby’s first name is Christian and I believe they worked with the Bush’es.I think he’s Lebanonese Wonder if he’s reacting to what he was told and didn’t really analyize Obama’s remarks. While they initially welcomed Israels intervention they hate em (Jews)today. He might be doing a opps! later

Let the beheadings and murder continue

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Actually he is correct. This is “who” OBAMA “is.” The AntiChrist of America is now revealing himself.

I think many Arabs (those safe and comfortable here in the U.S.) are Arabs first and Christians second. An Arab-American friend, born and raised Greek Orthodox, became after 9/11 a sort of “born-again Arab.” He even started referring to “white people” as if he were not one himself. I know it’s more complex but I think for some people, “victimhood” is appealing due to the “specialness” it bestows.
