Two words for the Saudis: F you.
Oh, pardon me, I was being intolerant there. So sorry.
Viva Bush!
oops, I meant that to RexBeach,
Viva Bush indeed! These countries need to get their act together, and fast!
-P.
My (and I would venture to say) many others' sentiments, exactly.
Unfortunately, politics and PC, play an important part keeping our Guvmint and others from expressing this more forcefully.
Can you spell O I L???
Do the Saudi's own CBS? Just checking. They probably own a chunk. How else do you explain it?
Last night on Letterman (read Bitterman) after his usual diatribe of hate speech/slandering of the President his writers took the extra effort to put the cameras on what was supposed to be the Egypt 11. They were 11 kids dressed very western. Are these Egyptian "students" free and were they actually in the Letterman audience or was that some sort os subliminal to show how western and harmless they were. If it was staged it was very insidious. Anyone see this?
I wasn't going to write this but with everything going on I feel a need to say this. Granted it might not go over to well but, hey.
Barbarism has been in the Arab culture for thousands of years. Whether right or wrong, it is their culture. The Saudis are right in a way. There is a major disconnect in cultures, fueled by Marxism's use of Arab barbarism as a way to further their political agenda.
The West, as a Judeo/Christian culture are more civilized. However, if you look back to 14th and 15th century europe, the Christians were also not exactly immune from barbarism in the name of the Church. Between forced conversions and the Arab worlds view of the crusades as Christian barbarism, the Arab culture is still based on 7th century teachings.
Now you take immigration. Millions of Muslims who still believe in this immigrate to other nations. Instead of acclimating, they still harbor their hatred and keep their beliefs that are based on barbarism within a community. Toss in muzzy leaders who have the cult mentality, preach hatred and can get people listening and you have what you have today.
Then throw in ideologies that promote their own agendas such as the Communists. They use this Arab culture to further erode Democracy. By controlling education and the media, the communists make it out to be the problem of Judeo/Christian values and that we need to be more tolerant of the Muzzy culture, which they refuse to tell us is about barbarism, hatred and revenge.
They ask us to accept Islam as a religion of peace which for the most part it is. Remember., Christianity is a religion of peace although Torquemada and the clergy in europe in the 14th and 15th centuries may have taken it a bit too far.
Civilization is not only about us. There are religions and ideologies throughout this world that oppose what we stand for and unlike us, they are hellbent on destroying us. Problem is we are too naive to think that by singing Kumbaya and accepting this that the killing in the name of hatred of our Judeo/Christian beliefs will stop.
It won't. It never will. All that can happen is we we address it for what it is and do what is necessary to minimize the carnage. Because it is either that or destroy these religions and ideologies to preserve Western civilization, which is something we will not do.
Our President understands this. Tony Blair understands this. Nations that have already been overrun with this culture like France will never understand because they still harbor the belief that the crocodile will eat them last. Problem is the croc already ate them and is in the process of digesting them.
Anyway, sorry if I offended anyone. This was not intended to belittle Christianity or Judaeism. It was only meant to present a different view of what is going on in the world from someone who stays up at night wondering how this will end.
