Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy (center), "national police lead for preventing extremism", joins officers from Greater Manchester in dancing "Gagnam Style". With law enforcement this hilarious, why would you need to read Charlie Hebdo anyway?

I visited England in 2007.

I am not so sure I’d ever go back.

[skeeter]

Surreal. These people are stark raving nuts.

Islam was dormant for 500 years after the west finally forced it back into the middle east after generations spent defending itself.

The muslims now look poised to take everything they coveted in less than two generations.

We have driven God out and are about to be devoured.

[Dick Vomer]

Why didn’t you like England?

[KC_Conspirator]

There’s no England anymore.

I << LOVED >> England at the time. London, Surrey, Oxford, we had a blast.

But in the last seven years, I have watched the Brits sprial down and swirl around the bowl into a Socialist hell-hole.

If you've any doubts, visit Peter Hitchens's blog and poke around a bit. This is what the British consider a "conservative," and a pretty extreme one at that.

Every English patriot should turn up at their local police station and self report themselves as buyers of Charlie Hebdo. Ridicule the system.

To Mark Steyn

I know you read over here from time to time. I know because you quoted me when I said "...that Steyn is an exceptional writer but simply awful on the radio."

At the time, you focused on the negative part of the statement. I stand by that, by the way.

But I would like you to focus, today, is the other point in that sentence. You are an EXCEPTIONAL writer, as demonstrated again with this piece.

It seems that the anti terror efforts in England and perhaps in the USA are designed for the protection of terrorists.

Just wait until obamas’ internet czar demands the IP addresses of everyone going to FreeRepublic.

Then the knock on the door comes ... if the flash bangs don’t come through the windows first.

Holy Shite Batman!

Mother England has flipped her bloody wig. It was nice knowing you England.

[BBB333]

I disagree with you ENTIRELY - Steyn is absolutely wonderful on the radio!

I wish he had his own show.

[Lazamataz]

I hated him on the radio. He giggles too much.

[BBB333]

You clearly are intolerant of people having fun.

Or intolerant of people who can take current events, make them funny, then informative...

That is what a good teacher does, make people WANT to learn.

Steyn would have a huge following on the radio, bringing in the ‘low information voters’ as Rush calls them.

And you ding him for ‘giggling’ too much.

[ArtDodger]

‘He giggles too much’
Exactly! The country and the west in general swirls around the bowl flushing straight to Hell and he giggles at his own jokes, to the point of almost being tasteless. Other than that, he has great mind and is a great asset for conservatism.

[Lazamataz]

You clearly are intolerant of people having fun.

Oh, absolutely. You totally busted me. I am Free Republic's most dour, serious, unfunny poster. Joking and laughing is NOT TO OCCUR. This forum should be like a job, serious, never cracking a single smile. FUN IS BANNED.
