This article corroborates what Christopher Hitchens said a couple of weeks ago in "The night of the weak knees". It's definitely must-read material, just as much as the article at the top of this thread is required reading for everyone other than the head-in-the-sand/It-Can't-Happen-Here crowd.

I'm glad I live in a very rural area, but that's faint consolation when realizing that my country may very well be brought to its knees in the not too distant future.

Bump and thank you for confirming the importance of this article!

You will pardon my rude response--it is not exactly directed at you.

IN NO WAY DO I KNEEL BEFORE ANYONE BUT GOD and if one of those things go off, there will be a lot less Muslims in my area, after I and a lot of my friends begin using the Old Testament formula for justice: an eye for an eye. (BTW, justice is PERFECTLY reconcilable with peace...) If someone thinks this is too nasty a message, then it will be deleted. Tough. $300.00 can buy one hell of a lot of .30-06, which are VERY deadly, too.
