Thanks for posting this. Ms. Fallacci will be missed.

Pretty depressing article.

You now know why Hanson is one of my idols...

[cajungirl]

Has he forgotten about us? The millions of Americans who continue to support GWB, who believe he is on the right track?

There is reason for depression here but I think he had a bad day.

We are still here.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

All is not lost! We still have Bill Clinton. He is sensitive.

Rest in peace.

The pope has not apologized. But the flap has confirmed the message he delivered to the West: If you can't talk to the Christians, then certainly you can't talk to the Muslims, who deny that Socrates was on to anything.

I thought I was a neo-con but I'm still with Dubya so I must be Old Guard.

the forced change of “Operation Infinite Justice” to “Enduring Freedom”

Thats what inspired my screen name and me to stop lurking and sign on to FR.

"In matters of the present war, I have given up on most of the neoconservatives, many of whom, following the perceived pulse of the battlefield, have either renounced their decade-long, pre-September11 rants to remove Saddam (despite the 140,000 brave souls still on the field of battle who took them at their word), or turned on the President on grounds that he is not waging the perfect fight and thus is not pursuing the good war. The Paleo-right is as frightening as is the lunatic Left. My old Democratic party is long dead, their jackals trying to tear apart the solitary and stumbling noble stag Joe Liebermann, the old center taken over by the Kerry and Soros billionaires, and the guilt-ridden academic, celebrity and media cadres."

While the whole eulogy was pretty spot on about "speaking truth" to political correctness, the truth is that the Neocons and the President are as delusional as the loony Left.

With the Left sputtering on about "peace" and dialog, The Neocons can't even bring themselves to name the enemy. Then they embrace the whole relativist multicultural lie and pretend that democracy imposed from without will cure all in socially backward tribal countries like Iraq.

Didn't anyone notice what happened in "Palestine"?

I can't decide if they are really that stupid, or if they realize that their whole Globalist enterprise hinges on public acceptance in the West of the muticultural lie.

My old Democratic party is long dead, their jackals trying to tear apart the solitary and stumbling noble stag Joe Liebermann, the old center taken over by the Kerry and Soros billionaires, and the guilt-ridden academic, celebrity and media cadres.

It's worse than that... they're trying to ruin the fabric of this nation that ties us all together. They worship socialism. They hate the very mention of God in any public forum. They try to silence any truth they don't agree with. They are spineless, gutless, soul-less. I couldn't remain in that party any longer....it's too far gone.

I'll freely admit that this date meant nothing to me so I looked it up and here's the scoop for all the rest who didn't know either !

The Fall of Constantinople.

Stop the presses. Pangloss Hanson is depressed.

In matters of the present war, I have given up on most of the neoconservatives, many of whom, following the perceived pulse of the battlefield, have either renounced their decade-long, pre-September11 rants to remove Saddam (despite the 140,000 brave souls still on the field of battle who took them at their word), or turned on the President on grounds that he is not waging the perfect fight and thus is not pursuing the good war.

My old Democratic party is long dead, their jackals trying to tear apart the solitary and stumbling noble stag Joe Liebermann, the old center taken over by the Kerry and Soros billionaires, and the guilt-ridden academic, celebrity and media cadres.

So we really are left with very little in these pivotal times—the will of George Bush, of course, the Old Breed unchanged since Okinawa and the Bulge that still anchors the US military, the courage and skill of a very few brave writers like a Hitchens, Krauthammer, and the tireless and brilliant Mark Stein, but very, very few others. No, this is an age in which we in the West make smug snuff movies about killing an American President, while the Taliban and the Islamists boast of assassinating the Pope.

So long may you run, Ms. Fallaci, you who by now have learned that, yes, there is a soul, and, yes, yours was indeed saved for eternity if only for its singular courage and honesty alone. And dear Pope: clarify, contextualize, express sorrow over the wrong interpretation of your remarks, but please don’t apologize for the Truth—not now, not ever.

Sobering words from VDH. Bump!

[IronJack]

VDH's respect for Oriana Fallaci comes through in this tribute. She truly was a champion of the highest caliber, a clarion voice for honor, integrity, and pride. We can ill afford to lose her at this crucial time.

But our loss is her gain. May she be shown the reward she so richly deserves.
