WFB Does it Again

Saturday, February 4th, 2006

WFB has produced another sound article, which if you’re concerned about Europe is a must read…

We see a big storm brewing, brought on by the Danish newspaper’s publication of caricatures of Mohammed. Muslim activists every day sharpen their protests. On Thursday they assailed the office of the European Union in Gaza, and today in Indonesia they stormed the Danish Embassy. Now they are asking that the prime minister of Denmark, no less, apologize for the publication of the caricatures in Jyllands-Posten, never mind that the government has no official ties with the tortfeasor. Everybody in sight, including the paper, has regretted that feelings were hurt, but a line is crystallizing: Apologize for profaning Islam, but do not use language that conveys an apology for the laws of the land, which uphold a free press.

The offending cartoons have to be imagined. The reason for it is what turns out to be an iron glove at the disposal of the Islamic establishment. The publisher of Paris’s France Soir, which did reproduce the images, fired the editor who was responsible. Massive boycotts of Danish goods are in motion. Foreign leaders and press spokesmen are objects of boycotts and even death threats. Flag burning is routine. What we have seen is an intimation of the strength of a mobilized Muslim community. And this is early on, in the great narrative of the growth of Muslim power in Europe, where national suicide is reflected in the birth rates of Italian, German, French, and British non-Muslims (to call them Christians would be wholesale co-optation). These societies seem to be willing themselves to go out of existence, as the birth rate falls below the replacement rate.

Here we go stillers!

Herman Cain

Saturday, February 4th, 2006

I was able to hear Herman Cain speak to the Hall County Republicans this morning. There were just under 100 people there, which is really good considering the event started at 8:30am on Saturday. I have heard Herman speak a billion times, and I have got to say, he just gets better and better. One of the reasons why I continue to have immense respect for this man is because he not only speaks with passion and belief, but has constantly stayed on message. He is not one of those politicians who go from issue to issue depending on what the hot topic of the day is. His main focus is inspiring people and our government to tackle the main economic problems facing our county, reforming Social Security and health care, changing our tax code, cutting government regulations on business, cutting government spending, and passing tax cuts. This is simple conservative Republican principles, not rocket science. Mark, Alex and I worked our butts off during Herman’s campaign and we learned a lot from Herman and from the experience. More importantly, it inspired us to continue the fight of movement conservatism, which this blog is a partial result of. Keep believing, keep working my fellow conservatives. We have not yet begun to fight.

Speaking of those against freedom…

Came across this link on the Danish cartoons by way of K-Lo. It takes a while to load, but is worth your time.
