It is clear from his speech that the president is listening to the right people. Those who advise him follow the logic and analysis of Winston Churchill, and various post WWII historians struggled to put the rise of fascism around the world into a logical perspective:( it didn't just happen in Germany but it was an international movement, which appealed to groups in every nation around the world, including in the United States. Among the supporters of German Fascism were Charles Lindberg and then ambassador to Britain, Joseph Kennedy, both democrats. It was only in a group of five or six nations that the Fascists managed to gain power, and form the infamous Axis which brought about WWII: Germany, Italy,Spain, several Balkan States,and Japan.)
It is this view of history which now informs our president, and it is a view which has been handed down to us by men who spent years analyzing the causes of WWII and the fascist movement which was finally destroyed by Allied forces. It was destroyed in the US also, and men like Lindberg and Kennedy had to eat a large dose of crow dinner. So it will eventually be with our current crop of traitorous democrat fascisti supporters of the Sharia Law Imams who beat women to death, and cut off the arms and legs of criminals, and impale them on sharpened stakes through their rectums, for things such as uncorroborated adultery. The Democrats are on the wrong side of history, just as they were prior to WWII. And the Republican party has the Dems right where they want them , going into the 2008 electoral season.
I am heartened by this article and the president's speech. He is finally taking the true view of Islamic Fascism to the American people.( Would that it had been done in 2002 more stridently) It is a view which was not invented over night, but comes to us from those who lived and fought a similar foe, with similar tactics and ideology dedicated to the destruction of the free world.
It is no accident that Tony Blair also subscribes to this view of history, for British historians, including Winston Churchill, were leaders in its research, construction and dissemination.
No current Democrat candidate for the presidency can stand against the argument of this historical view on fascism. Only one democrat that I know of supports it, the honorable Democrat Senator from Connecticut, Lieberman.If the democrats are serious about winning the presidency, they would put him into the running. He would be their only hope. Thanks to the DNC, and the skillful work of the Republican party in the 2006 election in Connecticut, that will NOT happen.
This view of Islamofascism should be spread far and wide prior to November 2008, and used to destroy the left wing adherents to a Utopian dream ( like Neville Chamberlain's) that all nations must join hands and sing "Kum by hyah," all the way to the mosque, or die. The Nazis issued similar ultimatums on behalf of the Aryan races, and were halted by a band of young men over the English Channel in Hurricanes and Spitfires. So it must be in the Straights of Hormuz.
Islamofascism must be defeated completely and utterly, destroyed to the last little damning fascist Imam, or there will be no peace in the world except through a World Caliphate supported by totalitarian states such as China, Russia , and North Korea. President Bush has copped to the chase, and so should ALL of our Republican candidates. Certainly so has the King of Saudi Arabia, if one is to believe the latest recent news reports from the now Liberal Asylum of Insanity that is Great Britain.
This view is one reason why both Tony Blair and President Bush will be remembered in history as heroic, accurate figures,on this side of a war which is sure to come, with China and Russia in the mix as oil sucking proxies to the coming World Caliphate movement in Axis form.
The West must prevail, but first there will be a waking up process , which is just now beginning. And that wake up depends very much on the defeat of the Democrat traitorous political machine in 2008. If not, the blood of millions will wash the streams, lakes and rivers of Europe yet again. And then we will just watch this time, until we will have to fight a battle desperation, born of a direct missile threat on our own homes and neigborhoods on both the East and West coasts within 10 to 15 years.
Kudos to our president for his speech,and to Mark Hemmingway for a highly accurate report.
Very good writeup Candor!
