“Our present generation too is on the brink of moral insanity.”

The Daladier's, Chamberlain's, Laval's and Quisling's of OUR day... are leading us once again into the abyss.

The best defense the Wester world has against these inbreds who have read only one book in their lives (at least those who can read), is a robust and well armed Israel.

The only mystery here in the United States is which target the jihadists want to destroy first: the Holland Tunnel in New York or the Sears Tower in Chicago.

Go for the Big Dig in Boston. It's ready to fall down anyway.

As always from VDH, an excellent piece.

"as if the problem of a Jew being murdered at the Los Angeles airport or a Seattle civic center arises from not protecting mosques, rather than protecting us from what sometimes goes on in mosques."

This pretty much sums up the thinking of our politicians and police in this country.............will there ever come a point where they admit that they have to protect American citizens, instead of the animals who try to kill us?.... Or will that task be left to the individual citizens?

We will be paying a terrible price for our insanity, just like we had to the last time

Churchill: "Britain and France had to choose between war and dishonor. They chose dishonor. They will have war."

At least Britain gets it right this time. But the Left repeats the old mistakes.

Thank god for VDH. He says everything that rattles around in my head but in coherent, persuasive fashion. This article was fantastic!

This article ought to be required reading for all Democrats. And for the Jews who vote for them.

But nevertheless it is still surreal to reread the fantasies of Chamberlain, Daladier, and Pope Pius, or the stump speeches by Charles Lindbergh (“Their [the Jews’] greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, and our government”) or Father Coughlin (“Many people are beginning to wonder whom they should fear most — the Roosevelt-Churchill combination or the Hitler-Mussolini combination.”) — and baffling to consider that such men ever had any influence.

Look around and you see the same thing today.

In short, if we wish to learn what was going on in Europe in 1938, just look around.

Great article. We need to pray like we never have before, things are going to get ugly.

Supreme court ruling have pretty much established that the police do not have to protect us.......so our own protection and preservation falls upon the individual citizen....we must protect ourselves, our families, and our homes.

"The Daladier's, Chamberlain's, Laval's and Quisling's of OUR day..."

Are Democrats....

Remember- if a Democrat's lips are moving, he/she is lying!

"When I used to read about the 1930s — the Italian invasion of Abyssinia, the rise of fascism in Italy, Spain, and Germany, the appeasement in France and Britain, the murderous duplicity of the Soviet Union, and the racist Japanese murdering in China — I never could quite figure out why, during those bleak years, Western Europeans and those in the United States did not speak out and condemn the growing madness"

I used to wonder how the govts and people in the 30-40's managed to ignore the growing threats of the axis powers. No more. I see it being replayed today. The same head in the sand, appease them and they won't bother us (today), make excuses for the aggressor attitude.
At some point govts will realize that we up against an implaccable foe, a genocidal group absolutely committed to our destruction. A group that cannot be appeased, reasoned with, or disuaded by anything but pure, brutal, relentless, overwhelming, force.

Exactly right. I have ultra-liberal acquantances (I have trouble calling them friends anymore) that still spout that lame sh*t about Bush being the world's biggest terrorist and that Jews run our country. I used to be amazed when I would hear it, now I am disgusted and can't stand to be around them anymore.
