		<description>Don&#039;t miss page two of &quot;Avoid The Macaca Moment&quot;


&lt;blockquote&gt;Remember the top blog dogs. Speaking of which, get in good with five of the best-read national conservative bloggers. The guide names names: Instapundit, Michelle Malkin, Captain&#039;s Quarters, Power Line and Hugh Hewitt. Do the same locally. Do an interview with &quot;one friendly blogger,&quot; and interest from other local bloggers should follow.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>Zetterson, she now did, based on info from her taxi slip. 

None of those questions can be asked when one&#039;s life is potentially in danger. The situation was very precarious, and probably this is not an isolated incident. However, they must be elevated, no matter what CAIR would do with them.</description>

Entelechy, amazing. Is your friend not going to report that? I think if that happened to me I would have pulled out my pen and paper and then begin asking questions. Where is your current residence? At what mosque to you pray? Do you have family here in the country? What are your hobbies? Do you have any friends here? What cab number is this? How did you come to the country? Why did you come to the country? When did you come to the country? Do you want to become an American citizen? Can I take your picture with my phone? Why did you leave Iran? Ooops sorry spilled my highly alcoholic drink. My bad.</description>

		<description>http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/poll_voters_want_smaller_steps_to_immigration_reform_with_focus_on_enforcement

Wow, I&#039;m shocked how the latest Rasmussen poll shows that the vast majority of American voters are racists. I&#039;m also baffled by how its possible for &quot;a small, tiny, minute, fraction of loud mouths&quot; to constitute a majority of American voters. I just don&#039;t understand how thats possible.</description>

		<description>Please forgive - yesterday I intended to comment on the &quot;Muslim taxi drivers&quot; headline, and forgot.

A colleague arrived recently at RR Airport in D.C., near midnight and had to take a taxi to the hotel in Virginia. About 2 miles into the approx. 10-11 miles ride the driver said &quot;I absolutely hate Americans&quot;. She &quot;you do? where are you from?&quot; &quot;Iran&quot;.

She was in shock, fear, and in need not be dropped off in the middle of the night, nowhere. He enjoyed the situation, probably condemning the American businesswomen all the way, her not being at home, in a burqa. I asked her to report the incident, which she had completely dropped.

I wonder how much of this, or similar, is going on.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not positive, but, I&#039;m pretty sure HRW saying that Pali&#039;s are committing human rights violations is a sign of the end of times.

Guess it&#039;s only alright when they kill Jews.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Works for me, cher! (Although French is a lot more of a PITA to spell.)

Laura on June 13, 2007 at 9:40 AM&lt;/blockquote&gt;

We should just anglicize all the French spellings as well.  That way we&#039;d be pissing of the illegals by choosing English &amp; French as our two languages - and, as a bonus, we&#039;d be pissing off the French by creating a new French patois.

The way I see it, it&#039;s a win/win situation for us.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;But the success of the recent wave of atheist books has been seen by some as a reaction to the intensity of &lt;strong&gt;religion in America and its intrusion into public life.&lt;/strong&gt;

From Reuters article -- Baptists see atheist books as sign of panic&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Here..  our un-named Reuters pundit provides us with &lt;em&gt;“the message”&lt;/em&gt; that Reuters is most interested in conveying. You see, as an American citizen anyone has a perfect right to express their opinion in the public square... Ahem... Er .... &lt;strong&gt;unless of course your are one of those “religious people” and then it is an INTRUSION INTO PUBLIC LIFE !&lt;/strong&gt; Thank you Reuters for making that clear.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Rush Limbaugh has long been a thorn in the side of liberals, but now, because of him, some Democratic politicians don&#039;t even want to join with a local radio station to broadcast hurricane information.

Radio station WIOD, AM 610, has been the official channel for emergency information from Broward County government for the past year. The County Commission, all Democrats, balked at renewing the deal Tuesday, unable to stomach the station also being home to Limbaugh&#039;s talk show.

Commissioner Stacy Ritter said she did not want to support a station that&#039;s out of step with area politics. Ritter, a Democratic stalwart in the state Legislature before being elected to county office, cited talk shows hosted by Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and WIOD&#039;s partnership with Fox News.

&quot;They have every right to speak, but we don&#039;t have to do business with them,&quot; she said.
...
Judy Sarver, the county&#039;s public communications director, said WFTL and WLRN also offered to take on the role, but that she and other emergency planners preferred WIOD because of its signal strength, numerous FM sister stations and willingness to give Broward top play.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Let&#039;s see: When dealing with a life-or-death subject like hurricanes, you can either go with a local station that has a strong signal and far-reaching presence, or go with an out-of-town station with a weaker presence and that gives YOUR area short shrift. Decisions, decisions.</description>

		<description>The immigration issue is the best issue we have had in years to split the Democratic party.  The majority of them want secure borders, this is one area we can all agree on, left and right.  As we go through our day, talking and posting, plant the seed that secure borders first is the only way a reasonable bill will ever be passed.</description>

		<description>Laura,

Of course! 

And thanks for the article. The last I heard, carbeques were at 50+ a night. I didn&#039;t know that they&#039;re now at 90 a night. Oh, the carbon offsets.

My favourite line from the link:
A violent youth culture has sprung up, born out of lack of opportunities, racism and a failure on both sides for immigrants to integrate into mainstream French society. &lt;strong&gt;The burning of 90 cars a night is the work of desperate, attention-seeking clowns, not terrorists. It is a cry for help.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>

Yeah right.  And this--oooh look out boys.  The mighty EU peacekeeping force is on the way.  

&lt;blockquote&gt;The European Union would consider participating in an international force in Gaza if asked by the major players in the region, the EU&#039;s foreign policy chief Javier Solana said Wednesday.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Poor EU shmucks.  Usually the ROE are so simple--protect the Pali terrorists from Israeli retaliation.  Now they won&#039;t know WHAT to do.  I think cooler heads will prevail in the EU.  They&#039;ll realize that being caught between two heavily armed, completely amoral armed militias is no place to be.  After all they are peace-&lt;strong&gt;keepers&lt;/strong&gt; right.  So if it&#039;s not a peaceful situation already. . .</description>
