And no understanding that freedom cannot exist without discipline, self-discipline. How true. And right now America is a nation of toddlers, wanting every wish, no matter how selfish, granted immediately.

Some molluscs right here on FR call my passion "hysteria", I guess that is because passion in a female is considered "hysteria" by the mentally lame. I usually laugh it off and carry on.
He is right about it, there is not even enough passion left for hatred of the lie, or injustice, or passion for what is right, much less enough left for survival. I think this has been the real killer of great civilizations from Babylon to Rome, decadent societies with no passion for what is right, and the misguided idea that, being at the pentacle, the world cannot go on without them, but it always does. The only passion in this nation is that of the Liberal destroyer, useful idiots and their money men, who have so much in common with Islam.

Beautiful sentence, very beautiful. I loved it! But inexact, Mr. President, because the West does live in fear. People are afraid to speak against the Islamic world. Afraid to offend, and to be punished for offending, the sons of Allah. You can insult the Christians, the Buddhists, the Hindus, the Jews. You can slander the Catholics, you can spit on the Madonna and Jesus Christ. But, woe betide the citizen who pronounces a word against the Islamic religion.Truth Bump!

I wish Americans could get that stirred up about anything, or be firey like the patriots of Venezuela who are protesting against Castro II. We will die of blandness.

I can remember years ago when Oriana Fallaci was a mild liberal - well, she had the usual ideas. She published a book called "Un uomo", or "A man", based a bit on some political prisoner in Greece under the Colonels. Actually, Panagoulis tried to assassinate Papadopoulos, and when he was let out of prison in the early 70's, Fallaci interviewed him and then moved in with him.
She's enthusiastic. You have to give her that.

The Second Coming - W.B. Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Good narrative and to the point.
But not ALL westerners fall into that category. Among my biggest heros are Richard Coeur D'Lione, Vlad Tepes, and Charles Martel. My favorite saints are Santiago Matamoros,
Saint George and Saint Michael.
The west could sure use all of them today.

I wonder what she would think of my website,
Religion Of Peace My Ass! I've been speaking out against Islam for almost 10 years, right after I finished my middle eastern studies as part of my under-grad degree.
To: Valin
Europe is in
real trouble.
I have become convinced that they are willing to surrender to the Moslems, but the Moslems won't accept their surrender and won't rest until there is one Islamic republic from England to Malaysia.
Not sure they will ever conquer Scotland or Ireland though!
