What Will Future Generations Say?
New Republic ^ | 6/7/2005 | Sowell

Posted on 06/08/2005 7:21:14 AM PDT by worldclass

During World War II, German soldiers who were captured not wearing the uniform of their own army were simply lined up against a wall and shot dead by American troops.

This was not a scandal. Far from being covered up by the military, movies were taken of the executions and have since been shown on the History Channel. We understood then that the Geneva Convention protected people who obeyed the Geneva Convention, not those who didn't -- as terrorists today certainly do not.

Kids are being brain washed especially in public schools, to be little humanistic socialists. In fact I was looking up the attributes of an "intelligent child". Know what one of them was? A child being preoccupied with "world peace". LOL! It's laughable however I KNOW there a re Moms out there that will instill that so that their kids will be considered a genius.

No ... I think we are losing the battle now and kids will carry it on. We're heading for disaster. IF we or they wake up it may very well be to da* late.

Another is from a Christian perspective ... so MANY events are indicative of what has been prophesied. I'm guessing that we are beyond the point of no return.

We can take ahellofalot of them down with us. I favor the scorched earth policy over the dhimmitude one.

No, they won't be subjected to a tryannical government. As long as there's still people like us.

Your naivete is refreshing, but still naive

"Do you remember Osama bin Laden warning us, on the eve of last year's elections, that he would retaliate against those parts of the United States that voted for Bush? ..."

If you look at the red-blue county map, you discover that almost all cities are blue, and almost all rural counties are red. Hmmm.

Where do you think Islamic terrorists strike to get the most victims? In the middle of some (red)cotton or cornfield? or in a (blue) city?

So how are the juhadists going to strike those areas that voted for Bush??

When they hit us...your question will be answered.

Gee, I hate to post it here, but I know EXACTLY how they could do it. And with his latest yammering, the screamer himself makes it pretty obvious.

Go after an evangelical church. A big one. Anywhere. Even in the big cities, odds are good you're hitting Bush fans. And what have churches done to take security steps? Nada.

Now, the obvious fallout would be that such a move would lose any tacit support from that church's moderate wing for Osama's willing idiots in the MSM and Rat party, but who's to say there's a huge evangelical moderate wing anyway?

It makes me worry about some of the huge Houston churches right now.

This is a phenomenal article, btw. Not that Sowell's are usually anything else.
