An interesting (and IMHO, mostly correct) premise on the basic motivations of these vermin.

Sadly, for me, anyway, is the realization that we will not get it until we have been hit again a few more times. The other sad thing about this analysis is the effort that will need to be extended to discredit the ideology as much as Italian Fascism was discredited.

We won't win until wacko muslim clerics are being killed by their own people, and hung upside down in a town square to be pelted with garbage, a la Mussolini. I'm not sure that this country, which is still engaged in foolishness 1 year later, has the will needed to face reality and then do the job as ruthlessly as the job was being done in 1944.

And, even if we do, will our nation have a political system left that would be recognizable to, say, my grandfather? (He passed away in 1997.)

Sorry to hear about your Grandpa. Both mine are long gone, too.

Would he recognize the government of even today.
