See, you're not so savage after all!   I'll bet kittens make you melt.   :)

The Left continues to follow the dictates of Karl Marx..."a people without a heritage are easily persuaded." Under the guise of multiculturalism, the Left is destroying our unique American culture in order to replace it with their own socialist utopia.

When you have a people with no particular allegiance it becomes that much more easier to manipulate them. And it isn't a coincidence that the Left is doing just this, when you see how they not only ignore America's fine attributes, they attack and demean everything from the Constitution to our Founders.

From the attack on G-d to the removal and renaming of public schools, the Left is doing its best to erase our common history; and a people with no history, have no future. Whether it's multiculturalism, tolerance or diversity...these are all code for ways to disassemble our unique culture.

Karl Marx had a unique talent to convince people to pursue a path that should have obviously appeared to be the wrong path. For example convincing anarchists that a Large governmental structure would eventually lead to No governmental structure. Unfortunately for the followers of Marx, the world eventually discovered that said anarchist made poor workers and even poorer governmental planners. That strategy was designed to fail from the start. He basically convinced people who lacked the talent to manage a large government, that they would eventually have such an efficiently running government that the state would eventually disolve. My guess is Marx knew they would fail all along. The question now is did the creator of the Koran also know such ? Imagine convincing people that by killing innocent woman and children, they would eventually be entered into paradise.

Concerning the left's attempt to erase our history, we should take it as a compliment. Someone once wrote somthing similar to the phrase: Losers spend their time rewriting history, while the winners are spending their time making history.

My Dad said in the 60s that Marx knew exactly what he was doing--he was a superlative con artist that used envy to fuel hate for those that possessed more to take over a country that he and his minions would rule. He suckered the masses into letting the few rule the many with an iron fist. The masses ended up with nothing, while the few on top had everything.

I'm Sorry Your Sorry, I'm Not, I didn't do it, but I learned from it, and I'm Happy that Native Americans, Injuns as you say, are happy enough with broken promises that they don't do what Islam is doing.

Then I might just be sorry, and of course they would become sorry too, ......or more sorry than they are now.

Of course I see a lot of people in the Midwest right now sorry about the Heat from those SUV's and Trees.

When it was explained to him that, alas, he wouldn't get the 650 grand in cash that day, Atta threatened to cut Bryant's throat. He then pointed to a picture behind her desk showing an aerial view of downtown Washington - the White House, the Pentagon et al - and asked: "How would America like it if another country destroyed that city and some of the monuments in it?"

Shocking...I hadn't heard about Ms. Bryant before reading this article. I was on a tour in Ireland the last two weeks and read this article in an Irish newspaper. I was pleased that Mark Steyn is being read in Ireland.
