#1 Go here to see what BBC website readers think of the speech. Short answer: The wogs can't do democracy and any attempt to bring it to them is cultural imperialism.

#2 Kind o' scary, ain't it.

I guess that's why tyranny keeps on keeping on. A lot of people seem to like it.

#3 Wow. I dunno who's more clueless:

wild-eyed barbaric brutal backward convert-you-tax-you-or-kill-you Islamists
or
regular run-of-the-mill-safe-in-their-socialist-safetynet (provided gratis by the US and UK Govt's, in spite, apparently, of their devout and fervent wishes) BBC visitors

Makes me wonder if we shouldn't create the Fortress America we've always been accused of living in - and bomb the living motherfuck out of everyone else as fast as we can manufacture the god-damned bombs.

But no strong feelings, yet. Letting it marinate.

#4 I think that's the heaviest shit I've heard since Reagan's 'Tear down this wall'. I think this is our smackdown message. Deftly sidesteps / defuses the issue of Islamism. Won't be heeded, but notice is served.
