Go ahead, say it - CRUSADE! (A Defense of Ann Coulter)

Anyone out there getting the feeling that we're overdosing on political correctness?

"Each of the 12,000 boys born in Pakistan last year who were named `Osama' would be granted preferential treatment over American-born whites," writes columnist Ann Coulter, correctly referring to federal affirmative action statutes that are currently on the books and now awaiting review before the Supreme Court in

Bump for a great read. This is a Crusade. We are kidding ourselves to think otherwise. Islam in it's current form is anathema to civillized behavior. These people must be dealt a serious attitude adjustment, much like was done to the Germans (who are exceptionally peaceful now). Or eradicated. There is no room for Western values and modern Islam to share this world together. It is us or them.

Students in my classes who were in that war told how they were prohibited from wearing crosses outside their t-shirts

Not to pick nits but crosses (or any other jewelry) aren't allowed outside the t shirt anyway, at least not when I was in.

That aside it's a good article which makes so much sense the goobermint rule makers on immigration and other preferences would never understand it.

Gray Davis recently decreed that illegal aliens could attend California colleges at the in-state tuition rate. American citizens coming from other states, however, must pay at the higher rate.

Getting the feeling?? HA! I'm nauseated from it, and have been for quite some time! I can tell you first hand that our state department is fostering social engineering (diversity?) thru their use of visa granting policies that vary drastically from one of our embassies to the other! Most Americans don't know about this as it is kept very subtle.

[Kermit the Frog Does theWatusi]

Boing.

[rebdov]

Muslims, when referring to the west, always use the Arabic term translated as crusaderites. If we dare utter the naughty word 'crusade', we are attacked. But they have used it with impunity for centuries. What gives? Why are we always in a rush to defend people before determining if they are in need of defense?

[KC_for_Freedom]

Unfortunately, Coulter's got it right.

I would phrase this, Thank G-d that somebody has it right. Ann Coulter is just a few weeks ahead of her time, maybe because it will take a few more articles like this one to get enough of us to understand. We do not need this multiculturism, we don't need the junk science that is driving environmentalism. We need to remember that we are right, we are following the right ethical principles and that there are ethical principles, (not relativistic principles).

[Madame Dufarge]

What, we're to decide who deals out "infinite justice," exclusively - Allah, Jehovah, the ACLU? I'd say the Air Force.

BUMP.

Go ahead, say it - CRUSADE! (A Defense of Ann Coulter)

Those in the media (and the Muslim world) showed just how shriveled their
frontal lobes were when they jumped all over Dubya for using the word "crusade" to describe
the struggle with radical Islam.

For a couple of generation of American males (at least those with a modicum of
education and a love of WWII movies), the term "crusade" that first springs to mind is
the words of General Dwight D. Eisenhower to the men he was dispatching to the
shores of Normandy and other parts of France.

And we are smart enough to know the Ike wasn't talking about a religious crusade...
he was talking about a MORAL CRUSADE.
By countries that are generally tolerant of differing views on religious matters,
such as the USA, Commonwealth, and most other "Western" nations.
The ones that Islamic extremeists would call "decadent".
Just like Adolph Hitler did.

Just good vs. evil.
That's all it was about.
And today, that's what it is STILL all about.

[RnMomof7]

And the word "crusade," something we're not supposed to utter lest we upset too many in Mecca or Islamabad? I'd say it's the perfect word. The first "crusade" was launched after Christians got tired of an earlier form of Islamic boxcutters, chasing them through the Middle East, Africa and Europe for the better part of four centuries. Enough is enough, said Pope Urban II, exactly as we're saying today.

It is a crusade..one they brought on themselves. If our leadership decides that PC is more important than the lives of the diverse dead here in America,we will see continued violence on these shores untill all the Christians and Jews are dead or have starting praying toward Mecca..

George Bush the father caved in and the son it seems ,with his" careful language", might make the same mistake.

America has to wake up. Face the facts. Terrorists are waging a jihad against us and we must wage nothing short of a CRUSADE to protect our freedoms.

Infinite Justice must be attained!!!

chasing them through the Middle East, Africa and Europe for the better part of four centuries.

Not even. The official crusades, 8 total, lasted a bit under 200 years from 1096 to 1270.

And "Crusade" was introduced by Osama in the current context in 1998, when he ordered Muslims to Kill Americans.
They want a Crusade? Let's give them one, and a good and final one.

[jrherreid]

What gets me is the fact that so many people still refuse to acknowledge who our enemy is. It seems that it's all right to kill our enemy, as long as we do it with the utmost politeness and regard for his feelings. We apologize for calling our enemy names ("Hijack this, fags!" is a very naughty thing to say), but we don't apologize for missile strikes against him. We cringe at the very hint of religious fervor on our part, but applaud his fanatical devotions as "sincere". We rename our own faith's greatest feast (ever heard of "the Winter Celebration"?) so as to not disturb the poor sensitive unbeliever, but we "respect" our enemies' faith so much that we agonize over the decison of whether to attack him during his holy days.

We've become a nation of iron-fisted tip-toers.

[Hunble]

Hey, I am Wicca but willing to join this CRUSADE!

Freedom of religion is what I fight for all the time. So why would I not join my brothers in this fight to protect America?

[clee1]

Agreed.

[RightThinkinDood]

Call it a crusade or not, it doesn't matter. Point is, modern Christianity is a force for good while modern Islam is (generally) a destructive force. a truth the PC police won't acknowledge and as long as they don't, a thorn in the side of the fight against terrorism.

You do know what your opinion is worth, don't you?

Who cares what you feel?
