Great article, AnnaZ!

And this little tome by H.L. Mencken hits the nail on the head, even though it was written 77 years ago. It just goes to prove but once again that truth is never out of date!

And who, exactly, considers an armed Jew a terror?

Any of a large number of anti Jewish groups with murder and mayhem in their hearts. Nothing worse than to have your "victim" be armed, creating the distinct possibility that it will be you that gets to meet his maker, rather than him. Can't have that.

FWIW, "hoplon" is weapon; "hoplites" were heavily armed soldiers employed in a phalanx formation.

"covert vigilance committee."

Why would we need a committee when it's the "right of the individual" ?

FL, thanks for the ping.

"We live in a Republic where its founders were respectful enough of their citizens to guarantee the maintenance of their pre-existent right to self-defense."

Anna, you are sooo right, thanks for, once again, another magnum!!!

That is a major fact.

Islamikazes

Well, I do like that!

But not when they're in the neighborhood.

Here's a happy thought from Middle East expert Daniel Pipes:

Islamists constitute a small but significant minority of Muslims, perhaps 10 to 15 per cent of the population. Many of them are peaceable in apearance, but they all must be considered potential killers.

How does 400,000 to 800,000 -- in our country -- potential killers sound?

Of course I meant I liked the term, not the reality.

Though when I told my wife, she immediately pointed out that, while kamikazes were of course our enemies and in the wrong, they at least were honorable warriors, sacrificing themselves in battle with their opponents. They didn't target schools, business offices, hospitals, buses.

The term vomitously liberal describes these well meaning but incredibly stupid womyn. Sadly, there is no conservative Jewish voice that is loud enough to out yell these nitwits.

And that's if we have to be polite, LOL! But you're right*. Fortunately, for them, the Palestinians started their intifada, because now, with their "We support Israel" logo, they have the one thing going for them that separates them from NOW, et al.
 
(*When a Jewish person says that quoting the Torah "is advancing Christian fundamentalism", you know you're not dealing with Einstein.)

I had the same conversation with a (CNN-junkie) friend the other day.

"They have no other weapons but their bodies!" she (like a good little indoctrobot) wailed.

"And no other targets than schoolchildren and shoppers?" I asked.

Fatwa=Solicitation to commit murder. That is a felony. Anyone who "issues" a "fatwa", and anyone who intends to accomplish a "fatwa" are criminals, and may be dealt with as such.

To put it bluntly, there is absolutely no room in the twenty-first century for "la Cosa Islam", nor its radical adherents. To the likes of Ismail Hooper and his kind I say, watch what you say, for I will be, and the RICO act can surely put you, and the "Mohammed" crime family outta bidness for good...

NYC passed the "Sullivan Law" in the 1890's at the height of Tammany Hall. The true purpose was to protect certain gangs of Irish descent who were at the time operating out of the Red Hook District of the city. Several gang memebers had attempted to rob citizens and had been shot dead for their pains. These gangs, during election time, served as wardheelers and the like for Boss Tweed and his cronies, so to keep them happy, the citizens were made easy prey for the part time political operatives/full time crooks...

Right!

(I'm concerned that I might have been unclear. My wife was making the same point you were making. Did that come across?)
