#1 This simply wouldn't be the case if they'd attacked parliament rather than tubes full of punters. Definite smell of lefty conspiracy here - the left are now suggesting an amnesty for ALL illegals! Sound familiar?

#2 Sounds just like our state department and imigration and naturalization service but it would only apply to common criminals.

#3 Here, too. Our county sheriff has been arresting illegal aliens for the past six months, and billing (unsuccessfully, thus far) the federal immigration department (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,ICE) for their incarceration. According to the local paper Saturday, the most recent arrestees were released, because the local police can't make arrests of those breaking federal laws. Not exactly Al Qaeda cadres, but the point about not being permitted to enforce the law was made.

#4 I still maintain that our biggest threat is not from the Muslims - not even from the Islamists. Our biggest threat is from within.

#5 Yes, me too, as I think islam is nothing more than a carrion, or if you wish, of an opportunist seeking advantage of the weakness of its archennemy... weakness bron from within.
Do you really think all of this would have been possible in the pre 1918 West? In the 40's, 50's? Any pre-1960's era? Compare the french handling of the algerian war with France's present appeasement and top-down multiculturalist, pro-islam de facto surrender.

All this is *suicide*.

Don't know if it's because of the WWI butchery, because it's a corrective mega-trend from an Elliot wave, because it's the neo-leftist of the Frankfurt school, or the result of the successful memetic war fought by marxism since the 30's (to me, communism has won the cold war, at least in the West), or a failure of modernity.

Either way, we're talking survival, and I wouldn't bet on us. But perhaps I'm so negative because I'm an euro, and the rot is much more deeper here, and because we're the Prize?

#6 Well said. It's equally deep here, 5089. But America's a very big country - and sentiment is turning. Problem is that everyone likes to focus on some outside group of "others" instead of the kindly neighbor next door who often blindly marches to the beat of the enemy drum.

To win this war, we will have to fight a civil war of sorts to put down the framework and structure that makes it all happen - corrupt politicians, the media, University burn outs and "liberalism", a true faith religion of self-hate and blame whose followers seeks to elevate themselves as the righteous ones - much in the same way as the Islamists do.

I think there is still time. Americans can see what's happening in Europe and it's giving all but the most blind believer pause. And contrary what others may believe - I believe that it won't be anyone country or faith that will turn the tide on this - but ordinary folks globally, that seek to put down those who wallow in hatred and destruction.

#7 Fred hasn't approved this yet, but via Lucianne and it's behind a wall:

Six years after Democrat Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the presidency to Republican George W. Bush, there's a new move afoot in the California Legislature and other states to ensure that such things never happen again. The linchpin is a proposed "interstate compact," designed to guarantee that presidents will be selected by popular vote, without amending the U.S. Constitution or eliminating the Electoral College.

#9 How about putting the URL inside a link? It's busted the page width, at least on my screen...
