I was in Spain last week and the Spanish were on high alert...virtually everywhere there were seriously armed people on guard (even at the Teatro Real, the opera house, a pretty harmless venue). In the neighborhood where I usually stay, Chamberi, I went to the market on a side street and saw what would be the equivalent of our SWAT team hauling three or four obviously ME guys out of an apartment, hands on heads, and loading them into a van.

Later I read that several attacks had been stopped because the Spanish police believed from their intelligence that something was going to happen, so they rounded up anybody who was on the list.

The problem is that the French will often not accept Spanish intelligence and also there is still this bizarre problem over ETA (Basque separatists). It took a long time for the French to cooperate on ETA.

We all - Europeans, non-Europeans, Christians, non-Christians and even secularist atheists - have got to realize that we have one common enemy.

America, Americans....elect Donald Trump POTUS or, watch our once great nation die just like the “great” empires of Persia, Egypt, Greece, Rome, etc. did.

The handwriting is clearly on the wall for all to see!!! Obama told us this morning that ISIS, his Junior Varsity is now contained....ask the people of Paris, France if that is at true statment!!! Obama is working to destroy the American Republic. Hillary Clinton and the Democrat Party need to be politically destroyed, come November, 2016!!!

GO DONALD TRUMP!!! YOU DA MAN!!!!!

Shootout? Doesn’t that imply return fire?

Merkel will either do a 180 or get the boot.

She does not have long to make the moves.

The police were killed when 2 of the terrorists inside the Bataclan theater ignited their bomb belts.

Muslims need to be viewed as the problem they simply are, NOT a religion..... It needs to be acknowledge as a violent, hateful death cult and that its primary goal is to take the lives of all non-muslims....and be believed when they state as much.... It shouldn’t be tolerated but viewed as a primary problem in all nations they reside...they simply do not adapt to society nor do they want to.

“Freedom of religion means freedom to hold an opinion or belief, but NOT to take action in violation of social duties or subversive to good order,”

In Reynolds v. United States (1878)

I sure hope the French do this. I think there’s one country that won’t join Europe in resisting Islam...guess which one.

Ya know, after Columbine, all I wanted was to have my daughter at home, where I could hold her and make sure she was safe. The LAST thing I would want is to see or hear her on television.

attacks will not be announced in advance. So when the government says no credible threat, It is very very sad.

Well, the French share these principles because they’re part of the residually Christian/Classical/rational universe.

But Islam is a whole system unto itself and shares none of these values.
