Unfortunately, the only thing that will save Europe is a dictator along the lines of Franco who chased the commies out of Spain in the 30's. No democracy will do it. Danish school children aren't allowed to display the Danish flag on their backpacks because the govt' doesn't want to offend the muslims. Seriously. They passed a law.

My favorite method of suicide is two bullets in the back of the head.
Or just one to the top, a la Ron Brown.
Oh, no. I want him to be the new hooker at the jail house.

I'll pray for thousands of "suicides" for these lunatic bastards....
Semper Fi
