I see. I have to say that as a student of history I do wish people would stop using Chamberlain as a shorthand for the sort of craven cowardice you're obviously implying- It really is a gross oversimplification of the facts to the point of complete innaccuracy (much as most people here seem to hold Churchill up as an example of everything good, for that matter). Ho hum. I suppose it's easier and more fun to cast historical figures as stereotypes.

We're flexible. Would you prefer 'Quisling'?

Fine, I'll see your student of history and raise you two fancy college degrees: You have to LEARN something from history, not just wring your hands and hope it doesn't happen again. I'd LIKE these Members of Congress to learn to have some backbone and stand up for what's right, not what's politically expedient or for what pie-in-the-sky idealism dictates them to.

Europe is being overrun right now by an underclass of young Arabs descended from workers brought in decades ago to take the jobs the Europeans didn't want to do (Sound familiar?). Now that unchecked immigration, illegal to no small degree, threatens to transform Europe into the next battleground of civilizations.

Islam will conquer through births what it could not take by war. Give it 20 more years and come to California, think you'll see and hear English and find American citizens as common as you do today?
