Rising Hegemon
America's Concern Troll, comes out with a conclusion the opposite of what I forecast.
Nineteen so-called "jihadists" crashed four airplanes that day in 2001. This is 19 out of about 1.5 billion Muslims in the world, an infinitesimally tiny percentage indeed. Nonetheless, this math is lost on the likes of, say, Rick Lazio, who is running for New York governor and, probably as a consequence, is a vociferous anti-mosqueteer. He of all people should know that it is unfair to judge an entire people by the criminal behavior of a few: capiche?...
This mosque and Islamic center were approved by the local neighborhood advisory board and have the backing of the mayor. To an alarming extent, the opponents are mostly Republican politicians -- Palin, Lazio, Gingrich and even congressional candidates in other states. They pretend to have the courage of their convictions, but the truth is otherwise. When it comes to convictions, they have none at all.
Normally, this would cause me to reassess my position, but not this time -- see immediately above.

I know, it was shocking. He actually was reasonable, and left himself no wiggle room to change his mind later. He called repukes what they are: lying opportunists. Hard to imagine why he did it, but I was impressed for once.
Fucking fuck him, anyway. He's still a massive shithead.
Fear not, in two weeks he'll be touting the inherent wisdom and appeal of the tea baggers, and in two months he'll be talking about Newt's "great" (if by "great" you mean "insane") ideas for America.
I think we should give credit where credit is due. Noble sentiments we can all agree with. Now, care to go for two columns in a row?
republikkklans only know how to divide. explains their fuzzy math.
Oh, be kind! He finally found an acorn.
