Oh, it was taken out of context. I love America and I’m proud to be
American and that means I get to criticize what’s wrong with my
country. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
Now, how much do you want to bet that the next time he shoots out a
press release, it will be patently obvious how angry he is about being
criticized for exercising his constitutionally protected right to
freedom of speech? How angry he is that he is being forced to pay a
price for saying things Americans don’t like and that he shouldn’t
suffer for his comments? Five bucks? Anyone? Anyone?

Nah. You’re right. I wouldn’t take that bet either.

--- Hmmmm.
{Insert thick German accent here} Interesting. Very, very interesting.
So, if Al-Jazeera is the Arab version of CNN, it would therefore
logically follow that CNN would also be having reporters arrested by
Spanish authorities for alleged collusion with Al-Qaeda. Wouldn’t it?
--- Oh for the love of Allah!
I’m not a big fan of the EU. To my mind it’s yet another sticky,
gooey bureaucracy whose stain, once imprinted, won’t come out in the
wash. That aside, it could, possibly be a force for good, and that
premise could have been proven in any country, it’s Turkey. Let me
see if I’ve got this straight, now. They’ll let Slovakia in, but
they won’t let Turkey join up? What about Bulgaria? Romania?
Ridiculous. I wasn’t buying anyone’s arguments that it was because
they wouldn’t pull out of Cyprus, or that their economy would drag
the rest down, or that they didn’t share the common European
heritage. None of that held any water with me, because it was blatantly
obvious that it was because the country was mostly Islamic
that scared the bureaucrats in Brussels. That one issue alone scared
the EU more than they could bear and so they ran away as quick as their
fat little legs could carry them and said, maybe next time.
They bemoan the lack of democracy in other Islamic countries when
it’s convenient for them to do so, just so long as it won’t offend
anyone, and yet, when push comes to shove, they show they’re a bunch
of cowards. They’re chicken. They don’t want any more Muslims
coming into their countries, which if they had allowed Turkey entrance,
would have happened. They had the chance to allow their influence to
spread into a part of the world that needs the message of secular
government desperately, and they chickened out. It’s xenophobism at
its worst, and because of all the bleating about Iraq, wasn’t covered
as it should have been in the media. This crap is the reason why the EU needs to allow Turkey entrance and needs to do it now.

Are they going to start painting crosswalk signs with
multicolored---some black, some white, some tan--- figures now, too?
