Two From The Belmont Club

Please read both the essays and, more importantly, the commentary in each Belmont Club piece below:

Talking Down To A Bigoted Nation

If I Had A Hammer

How many of those commenters have an idea what to do when the 2010 elections provides no material changes?

How many folks here do?

  1. All of Obama's reaching out and appeasement has been interpreted as weakness -- or dhimmi collaboration -- by the hard-core Muslim world. Things are going to get rough. The founder of the Cordoba House mosque stated in an interview for Arab-speakers that integration of Islam and government and sharia law are the goals. HERE. There are plenty of card-carrying socialists in Congress to help.
    The Sept. 11 groundbreaking makes it obvious that this is not a religious freedom issue of where to put a mosque, but a middle finger in the face of Western civilization. "Freedom go to hell," the Muslim demonstrators said on their signs in London.
    Them first.

  2. They are groundbreaking on 9/11!

    Jesus jumped-up Christ!

    I am shocked.

    As Nick Griffin said: Islam is a wicked, vicious faith.

  3. Defender:
    All of Obama's "reaching out and appeasement" has been INTENDED to display weakness and dhimmi collaboration. Yet even though (by his own words) he is an illegal alien usurping the office of President, the fine people passing themselves off as "Law Enforcement" will not bother to honor their oath of office to "...preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution..."

  4. Heard the joke? A federal marshal is talking to a group of school children. He describes their duties and says proudly "We're the only agency with the power to arrest the President."
    "And why," a little girl pipes up, "aren't you doing your JOB?!"
    First heard that one during Son of Bush's administration. Or was it Clinton?
    I'm afraid you're correct, Anonymous 12:59. The last few presidents have been a gravy train for law enFORCEment and have encouraged many "good Germans."

  5. The 2010 elections are not a panacea and Richard Fernandez explains as much:

    [T]he Obama Presidency isn’t so much a judgment on Obama as of the gatekeepers. The accusation is becoming how could ‘they’ have let such a creature into the circle? Now the problem is how big is ‘they’. It probably goes beyond the hard left and the Democratic party. The anti-incumbent mood is an indication that ‘they’ includes large parts of the Republican party and parts of the academe and the media.

    That implies the elections in 2010 will be a necessary but not a sufficient step. Somehow the same type of effort has to be applied in the appropriate way across the cultural and educational scene. The sickness is deep. It’s a little like opening up a panel in the wall and seeing the rising damp and rot all over the place. A lot of patience and a lot of expense will be needed to restore the home to its former solidity.--wretchard

  6. If Wretchard were here, I'd ask him how exchanging one group of committed socialists for another group of sort-committed socialists (i.e., the likely 2010 electoral outcome) is even meaningful, let alone "necessary but not sufficient".
