You'd lose an argument with Savage in under a minute.
That doesn't mean Michael Savage is correct. Of course it would also depend on which day of the week the debate took place, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, he says one thing Tuesday Thursday says the opposite. On the rare occations I've turned him on in the last couple of years I've heard him say both intern Muslims and yell at people who say intern them. Now I don't expect a whole lot of consistency from talk show host...heck I don't expect a lot of consistency from people in general (you want consistency look at ants, they are nothing if not consistant) but Savage...he'lll change his position (it seems) every other min.
if you think you win a war by being "nice" to the people trying to kill you. During WWII there weren't organizations fronting for Nazism and radical Shintoism in the US to explain to us about Japanese and German "grievances."
When have I ever said that? And while we are at it just who are these "They" you are talking about? Is it CAIR or is it iraqi soldiers fighting and dying along side Americans fighting Islamic terrorists? Is it Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad al-Fahd or Dr. Sayyed Al-Qimni?
Given the choice between standing with Michael Savage or George Bush, well I think I'll take Bush. Someone who has actually done something about radical Isalm as opposed to Michael Savage who has done......?.....influenced......who?.....accomplished.....what?
I like certain Muslims too. Ayaan Hirsi Ali...OK, so she's not religious, but I also like Ahmed Shah Massoud, who was very. But the truly moderate Muslims are too few to make a difference in this fight. The ENTIRE Muslim world overwhelmingly supports Al Qaeda, OBL, Hezbollah...this is what the figures say. The Muslims in the West want to see us live under sharia. Support for "radicalism" is higher among Muslims than it was among Germans for Hitler in 1930. The threat of terrorism and of demographic war will not stop until the Muslims worldwide realize the wages of their allegiance in the same way the Germans and Japanese were made to realize it...several large Muslim cities need to be turned to rubble, the oil fields seized and placed under some group of the great powers (they should not have had the oil in the first place). This is the only way to "change hearts and minds." Our whole conception of how to carry out this war is bizarre by historical standards. Bush made an alliance with the Saudis and Pakis who are precisely the people we should have gone after.
Reforming the ME in the manner I recommend and expelling most Muslims from Western countries would end this war in under a year. There is nothing immoral about all of this, and it would bring us certain other benefits as well.
