#2 Ah, the irony! Marxists and socialists preached western bourgeois decadence for a hundred years, but it wasn't until they were in control that it happened.

#5 On its face, the tone of this article is sort of whiny and defeatist, but I think she hit the nail on the head. She properly makes the connection to the "cultural revolultion" of the '60s, when it became cool to hate one's country and despise its values, and to exalt Third World failed states as divine Oppressed, Peace-Loving Victims (Muslims now being the victim du jour). Multiculturalism is an absolute failure, and it is not only terribly foolish for us to permit this kind of sectarianism any further, it is decadence of the highest degree.

#6 Heh, Jeff, so does that mean we can round up the Moonbats and turn 'em into wireheads, now?

#8 Maybe she be French, after all surrender is the French first course of action. She will probably be a guest speaker on the moonbat tour lead by Jihaad Jane and the tin foil hat troupe.

Good point, Phil.

#10 If I had only followed up on my New Years resolution to eat more healthy and do daily sit-ups, maybe the London bombings wouldn't have happened.
