A Dutch Pizzeria Owner Gives Wimpy Leftist Americans a Lesson in Courage
Opinion Times ^ | 7/13/05 | Jim Pfaff

Having the last name "Pfaff", I ought to be quite offended by this. But it's not "Schroeder", and I have no patience for the political anti-war pablum of France and Germany which is increasingly turning into negotiation with Islamo-fascist terrorists. And I am further embarrassed by the elite left in this country who are rhetorically putting our soldiers in harm's way. And I'm even more embarrased by the namby-pamby attitude of said American leftist elites in this country in light of the story below.

Hat Tip: Michelle Malkin et. al.

What an excellent example of timely civil disobediance.

TBO.com: A Danish court found Aage Bjerre guilty of discrimination and fined him $900. Bjerre refused to pay, and will now serve an eight-day sentence.

"I'm doing it to show my sympathy with the United States. It shows how seriously I mean it," he told The Associated Press by telephone. "But one should also remember that eight days is a small price to pay when American soldiers go to Iraq and risk their limbs and lives."

The 46-year-old received hundreds of fan letters from the United States, but had to sell the pizzeria after repeated vandalism and a large drop in sales. . . .


And then for the pièce de résistance:

He is bringing a photograph of President Bush and Laura Bush, as well as an American flag, to decorate the walls of his prison cell: "I think that will brighten up the room," he said.

Vandalism? But what of protecting people's right to free speech?

The left can be SO intolerant. Bunch of anarchist-socialist thugs.
