It reminds me of the blindness of the 30s..
Right on all accounts.
And look where it is going in Philadelphia. Pennsylvania should really be the one really concerned at this point. However, it will become all of our problem. Why do you suppose it is so widespread in Pennsylvania? Could it be that they are going the same way as this nation began? Hmmm.
Yeah right. Examples please. Capitulation is not changing for the better.
Letting their jihadism spread like cancer within the US. It took awhile, but Nazi Bundists were eventually jailed and neutralized. If no churches, synagogues, or Hindu and Buddhist temples can be built in most jihadistans, there should be no mosque building here.
It is getting better in some respects
At least one Capitulator is admitting they are capitulating. - Tom
When the Boston Phoenix didn't print the cartoons of Mohammed they gave this reason for not printing them:
"Out of fear of retaliation from the international brotherhood of radical and bloodthirsty Islamists who seek to impose their will on those who do not believe as they do. This is, frankly, our primary reason for not publishing any of the images in question.
Simply stated, we are being terrorized, and as deeply as we believe in the principles of free speech and a free press, we could not in good conscience place the men and women who work at the Phoenix and its related companies in physical jeopardy.
As we feel forced, literally, to bend to maniacal pressure, this may be the darkest moment in our 40-year publishing history."
Just because the paper admits it does not mean it is getting better. It just shows that what I posted is true. Giving in to intimitation is the same thing as waving the white flag.
Agreed, the Philadelphia issue simply boggles the mind. I do not call that a winning strategy, but then it is beginning to appear to me that winning is not the goal anyways.
Many of the other papers didn't print the cartoons, and gave the reason that they didn't want to offend the Muslims.
That is denial of the fact that they were afraid of physical punishment if they did print the cartoons.
The Phoenix admitted they were terrorized into not printing the cartoons. At least they realize the Muslim threat, and that is a step in the right direction. Granted is is a small step,compared to the excuses offered by the press in general.
The press doesn't mind printing Abu Graib photos the inflame the Muslims and get our soldiers killed. The press doesn't want to inflame the Muslims with these cartoons because it is newspaper people who will get killed. - Tom
Another reason that I believe the cartoon issue is a red herring is why aren't the Muslims upset about showing pictures of beheadings of infidels? It is because they know the pictures will itimidate us, just like their violence in regards to cartoons.
