you are probably right grainbeelt, having gone overseas once, I know that other nations DON’T fall down and worship Americans the way some people think they should
CIA, KGB, they invade Afghanistan, we invade Afghanistan, and Iraq, and set proxy in place in numerous countries. Putin is more than a tad “creepy”, but not a Stalin, because Russia is a lot different country today, despite what “right wingers” keep saying.We’ve competed with the former USSR and Russia too long, it’s time to stop the “monkey see, monkey do” to keep up with them.
“must fight all of Islam or there will be Sharia Law”This wing-nut chant I’ve always found particularly amusing.As if all of our lawyers, paralegals, judges and courts are going to a) Suddenly abandon Anglo-Saxon Common Law and all its precedents after 800 years, b) Learn Arabic en masse, c) Memorize the Koran and then learn Sharia from scratch as if they were first year law students, d) Translate all our legal documents, software, records, transcripts, case histories into Arabic.“The danger of Sharia law taking over” . . . I mean, my God, how stupid do you have to be to believe this?
@corzak…..said =“The danger of Sharia law taking over” . . . “I mean, my God, how stupid do you have to be to believe this ?”-stupid enough to believe world history since 632 A.D.stupid enough to check the history of every nation the Islamists have moved into, multiplied their population, and succeeded in getting Shariah Law to REPLACE the government that existed before Islam conquered….Egypt…every one of the world’s 57 Moslem nations today.-Real Stupid is ignoring or denying history and the goals of the Islamist leaders….they may fight each other…Sunni versus Shiite, etc…..but they unite to try to restore the Ottoman empire and add all nations to it…..and to eradicate Jewish Israel….and the “Great Satan”, the USA.
Which sharia law? There is no one sharia, it is whatever a particular iman says it is. Aspects of one version or another may be incorporated in the laws of one nation or another, but the same can be said about every law code in the world – borrowing from other systems is the way both progress and regression occurs. The only thing that unites these postings is hate for a religion they don’t understand, nor want to. And what does this have to do with a cartoon about attacks on all religions? Monkey see, monkey do? Monkey belong In a zoo.
I like the way we are fighting the Communists by ealing with China, the largest Communist country ever. Do you realize that the Chinese army owns all of China’s industry? When we buy Chinese, we are strengthening the Communist state.
Khrushchev said “We will bury you”. He actually meant the cold war, colonialism, and never ending wars, would bury us in debt, and he was right. It broke their union, and has impoverished our own.
I like Danziger’s style a lot — especially the little details he throws in — but I fail to see the interest in a cartoon like this — here, anyway. In Russia, it would probably be bold. But who in the US is going to find anything thoughtful here? I have never met anyone of any political position in North America who had any regard for Putin. There is no information because there is no difference from the background noise.
http://www.meforum.org/535/saudi-arabia-and-the-rise-of-the-wahhabi-threatoriginated some 250 years ago…by Muhammad Ibn ‘Abd al-Wahhab in union with the Sauds…violent expansive movement using calculated savagery….seized Mecca in 1924…oil wealth funds global expansion…70% of American mosques are funded by the Saudi Wahhabis.Revolution begins each Friday inside the radical mosques…a sneaky, “soft” takeover invasion is underway and Sha’riah Law is the “tip of the arrow”….plus plots of terror to instill fear in a peaceful nation. A new and recent twist is “unity” led by apostate Christians such as Rick Warren….deception and false doctrine to “remodel” Jesus to the Koran’s version as Muslim 2nd in command to Mahdi in eradicating Christianity and Judaism….P.S. Putin in Russia is ALLY and provider of weapons to the Muslim Iran-Syria-Lebanon/Hezbollah-Hamas enemies of Israel…fulfilling Old Testament Bible prophecies.
Micheal, and dt: In 1923 a “deal with the devil” was made between Mobil Oil, and the “nation” they actually created as an independent monarchy: Saudi Arabia. Beduin tent dwellers had OIL, and became a “nation” ruled by religious (and social) fanatics, with their “foreign policy” determined by a U.S. CORPORATION. Even when “nationalized” several decades later, Mobil STILL continued to run “the company”, that WAS essentially “the government”, as the puppets took on the role of “popes”.
That’s why it was so funny to see Bush and son Shrub bow and scrape to the royalty, in Riyadh and Dallas/Houston.
BTW: “prophesy” include the fact global, anthropogenic, climate change, and burning all that Saudi oil, with the flames of gas still torched off as “waste”, IS the “fires” of Revelations?
I thought Putin had the enthusiastic approval of Republicans, ever since Bush looked into his soul and said he was okay.-You know, that Bush. The one with the foreign policy advisors Willard uses. The one who is never seen with Willard.
Churchill a “rapid pacifist”? The old warrior must be spinning in his grave.
Churchill loathed “Bolshevism” from the word go and bust a gut trying to get Lloyd George first to intervene more strongly militarily in order to topple Lenin’s regime and then to apply economic sanctions and a policy of non-recognition.
Sorry, but I’m not likely to take political advice from someone who gets British political history that wrong.
@Kingoswald….true.Churchill opposed Chamberlain’s “deal/treaty” with Hitler and warned the British, and Churchill was correct and Hitler proved it to the appeasement government in England….WW2 and death and destruction and eventually USA involvement to save Europe and America from Hitler, Tojo and Mussolini…..(it is not “paranoia” but prudent attention to history and giving credit to claims of plans to overthrow sovereign governments, that protect a nation wanting to stay in Freedom.)and Red China is still Communist and oppresses every Chinese person….only the economy has been allowed to ape capitalism, with strict limits by the dictators in charge.
