Amen, Nate.

Want a global police state? Let the Taliban win.

That's the point that these peacenik feebs don't get. The doctrine that these guys (Islamic Fundamentalist) are following is completely incompatible with the liberties our country was founded upon:

Free speech? Uh-uh.

Freedom of religion? No way.

All men created equal? Only if your a muslim man.

Pursuit of happiness? Only if you follow the Koran.

It's time to wake up and stop kidding yourself...

What these co-ed airheads in the above picture don't seem to realize is that America is about to go against Bin-Laden and the leaders of the Taliban who, if they had their way, would make the following changes in their lives;

1. Forget about the make-up and hair styles these kids are wearing (the Taliban's extemist interpretation of the Koran finds such a lewd appearance an offense punishable by lashings or even death).

2. Forget about the Levi's and t-shirts they;re wearing and prepare to be fitted for a full-length chador so that none may see their features but the lord and master, their respective husbands (see #1 for the reason).

3. Forget about their protest signs since women would forbidden to be taught to read and write (see #1 for the reason)

4. In fact, forget about being on a college campus since the only career open for these women would be working in the house and acquiescing to the demands of the male members of the household (again #1 for the reason).

5. And they shouldn't even think about protesting their new social status unless the thought of public floggings or stonings appeals to them (ditto #1).

These vacuum-brained vixens may not realize what's personally at stake for them in the forthcoming conflict, but fortunately for them their leaders understand very well and will do whatever it takes to protect them and their lifestyle. The only thing these children have to do to thank the adults for this service is to get out of the way and back into the classrooms in the hope that someday they'll comprehend the true blessings of being born an American.

I live right by USF in San Francisco and have to witness this stuff all the time. After the attack, the student paper censored any "warmongering" articles, set up a peace rally, and then a large number of students dipped their hands in paint and printed them on a canvas to signify that they would "never raise their hands in violence", i.e. never raise a hand to help their own country.

Gag.

Rules of college as explained to me by a favorite (and, conservative!) professor:

When you think you know everything, you get your bachelor's degree.

When you realize you really don't know anything, you get your Master's

When you realize you don't know anything, but then again, neither does anyone else, you get your doctorate and can start teaching everyone everything about nothing.

LOL!

Ain't it the truth?

It's rich that in their eyes, we're the racist bad-guys. I'd like them to live under their wonderful Tailban, especially the spoiled brat little GIRLS in the crowd, and see how much they like it.

Three guys, an Englishman, an Afghan and an American are out walking along the beach together one day. They come across a lantern and a genie pops out of it.

"I will give you each one wish, " says the genie.

The Englishman says, "I am a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in England."

With a blink of the genie's eye, 'FOOM' - the land in England was forever made fertile for farming.

The Afghan was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan, so that no one can come into our precious country."

Again, with a blink of the Genie's eye, 'POOF' - there was a huge wall around Afghanistan.

The American asks, "I'm very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."

The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 150' high, 50' thick, and nothing can get in or out."

The American says, "Fill it up with water."

THC (tetrahydracannabinol)

A compound, C21H30O2, obtained from cannabis or made synthetically, that is the primary intoxicant in marijuana and hashish.

USF is a Jesuit college, right? Have the Jesuits lost their minds? Wasn't the Company of Jesus formed in Spain to combat infidels?

Mostly recycled bilge from the self-regarding 70s, brought to them by faculty nostalgic for the old days when they were still hip. And that was a LONG time ago...

This isn't Vietnam. In this "war" we are yet to fire a shot, and we have upwards of 7000 dead. I'm thinking these morons are shouting their slogans at the wrong folks.

As I've pointed out on other threads regarding Boston College, Georgetown University, Fordham University and other institutions - the Jesuits have fallen into a slough of despond.

This society, once brave soldiers for Christ who would walk willingly into the jaws of death to help a single Christian soul, have been overcome with PC and hippyism.

However, I attended a Jesuit high school in NYC. We lost three of our alumni at the World Trade Center and more than thirty close relatives of our alumni there and in the Pentagon. Their memorial Mass was held Monday at St. Ignatius Loyola and the headmaster of our school addressed us with the words of our alma mater penned by a Jesuit priest years ago: "May ours be the noble heart, strong to endure. Daring though skies be dark and roadways unsure. May ours be the heroes' part, ready to do . . ."

There were few dry eyes in the nave as we commemorated our dead and sang in their honor.

There was a firm, Ignatian resolve in that crowd as we dispersed. My Jesuit-educated brother in our Army's Special Forces was many miles away at the time - but he stands ready to do the heroes' part, praying with St. Francis Xavier (another Jesuit):

O my God, teach me to be generous:
to serve you as you deserve to be served;
to give without counting the cost;
to fight without fear of being wounded;
to work without seeking rest;
and to spend myself without expecting any reward,
but the knowledge that I am doing your holy will. Amen.

It was a Jesuit college - Wheeling Jesuit University - that had Janet Reno as its commencement speaker just three weeks after Elian Gonzales was snatched by government agents. The then-president of the college was unmoved by protests on the part of pro-lifers and conservatives who tried to point out that everything she had done as AG was in opposition to Christian teaching.

Yes to the above. However, Jesuits have become rather jesuitical of late.
