“It amazes me, that Palin fanatics sent her huge amounts of money for vague concepts that she Might, just maybe, possibly, run, if the conditions are right, Venus aligns with Jupiter, The sky turns red in the East at Sunset, etc,,,, But keep that money coming in! (And it did).”
Agreed. Palin has turned out to be all about Palin and how much money she can rake in for her family. And, she does keep making reallly, really stupid comments like she did last week.
Hopefully, all the conservatives she betrayed will finally she her for what she is and send Newt some of the dollars they were foolishly sending to her.
.. and Islamists (political Islam, sharia law advocates) know NOTHING about our heritage of freedom and inalienable rights.
They are here and want us to learn about them?! It don't work that way, you political Islam, sharia law advocates. You learn about America or get the hell out!
As William F. Buckley (Oct., 2001) said (So You Want a Holy War? We have now Islam to deal with. October 2, 2001 1:25 p.m.)
Either restore the proper Allah — or get ready for a holy war.
IOW reform Islamism or we will do it for you.
Let's get this over with! Whatever it takes.
same here
Following 9/11 and their demands that we understand them, the Islamists (political Islam, sharia law advocates) should be the ones sensing "a growing hostility."
But we who are hostile toward political Islam, sharia law advocates must have compassion and understand their fear.
For Japanese Americans had the same fear after Pearl Harbor and FDR relocated huge numbers of them for their own protection -- we can do no less. Yes the ones FDR suspected of spying were interned.
One more, of many, reason to get behind Newt!
I am not impressed. Gingrich has proposed opening the floodgates of Muslim immigration.
You are saying Quanta Cura is wrong?
Communism is constitutionally protected under the First Amendment, freedom of speech.
If you’re referring to the Smith Act, it was ruled unconstitutional by the SCOTUS in 1957, though the law is still on the books.
Even if you re-classified Islam as a purely political group, political parties are still protected under the First Amendment.
There’s no need to resort to heavy-handedness in dealing with ideological opposition....the American system has it’s own unique way of ultimately neutralizing any truly radical sociopolitical movements. Why be a follower of Che Guevara when you can just buy a T-shirt with his visage emblazoned on it?
Besides, if you wish to deny Islam religious protections, you would have to either a)amend the Constitution, or b)open up a Constitutional Convention. Amending the Constitution is far easier said then done.....ask the supporters of the ERA. The second course I find distinctly unwise.
If you really want to neutralize Islam.....Americanize it. No greater disaster could befall Islam then for it to be turned into yet another homogenized American pop-culture artifact. Like Kabbala for instance. Get a few brain-dead celebrities to embrace the Americanized, watered-down neo-hippie-dippie version of Islam, and any revolutionary potential it may have will dwindle away to nothing in a generation or two.
As an example, think of what would’ve happened if the Roman Empire had simply made Jesus Christ just another one of the gods in their pantheon; over the course of a century or so, it would’ve likely faded into obscurity as just another sect or mystery religion. By persecuting the early Christians, the ancient Romans inadvertently spurred its growth.
I did not know that — please could you elaborate?
I remember recently reading that Gingrich proposed bringing students from Muslim countries into American universities to teach the ways of democracy. However, I have not been able to find the article in Google.
Most students from poorer countries choose to settle in the US.
She is right! if a UCLA Scientist is afraid of Newt..we KNOW he is the right man for the job. Gingrich would shred, chew up and spit out Obama in a debate.
Wish Romney would take Newt UP on a 90 min debate to answer his smear attacks by the super pacs but Mittens is a coward. Shows me he will allow lies to stand so long as it helps his poll numbers. I don’t want a president that wins on lies by his supporters.
yes and no. that depends on whether they find jobs and can negotiate the ways to getting a green card (which takes years and the lottery system is really stupid)
“A US survey has revealed that the majority of Americans know very little about Muslims and their faith.”
A bunch of folks have been suckered into believing it’s a religion of peace.
