Re: They Never Went Away

Sure it's code. "Chasing them back to their caves"
is the new "bombing them back into the stone age".

I'm not sure I can keep followiing the campaign. I already have to lunge for the radio when George Bush comes on NPR, so that I don't have to sit in my car shrieking. Now this guy.

I love how when people defend their prejudices, it's not that it's that people disagree with them, it's that they're somehow sadly sheltered and need to be educated. Americans just don't know what Muslims are really like (and how did he come by this special knowledge exactly? All his Muslim pals in the Giuliani campaign?) Non-Christians just haven't heard the Good News, and if you throw enough Bible at them they'll come around. Fat people? Not only aren't aware that eating Big Macs three times a day is bad for you, but may not even be aware that they are fat, and need you to tell them.

Man, I'm hating people more than usual this morning. Time for coffee.

I don't subscribe to the principle that there are good fat people and bad fatpeople. They're all fucking fatsos. When I say get rid of them, I wasn't necessarily referring to genocide. After all, there is a possible world where "get rid of them" means "buy them a ham sandwich." I admit that "genocide" is kinda what I actually meant, though. Just not necessarily.

If you look into Islamic tradition, a treaty is only good for five years.

I like this, too. See American tradition, in re: deals with Native American tribes.

Well, yes. Especially the women.

In the Clash of Civilizations, I know for certain which side I'm on.

Insh'allah

These people are very smart in their own way

If the "these people" managed to combine their smarts with the continent of Africa's articulateness they might threaten our strategic reserves of condescension.

This is all a misunderstanding. Didn't you hear him? He was taking about Moose-lims, or moose worshipers, who need to be chased back to the caves which -- according to Orthodox Mooselimism -- are the only proper venue for worshiping the Moose (may his antlers be hung with festive stuff). Just an unfortunate coincidence that the names sound similar.

Hail Bullwinkle!

The average American does not know beans about what the Muslims are about. I am talking about the Muslims in general. I don't subscribe to the principle that there are good Muslims and bad Muslims. They're all Muslims."

And henceforth, there are no American Muslims. These are mutually exclusive terms, don't ya know?!

There ain't no American Indians neither.

Fuggin' hell. How bad is the American educational system down there? Has Reason gone on a sabbatical? (as if I should really talk- Quebec has been having its own "problems" with "reasonable accomodation". Fuck.)

Not to worry, though. Muslims haven't risen up in over a thousand years.

8: word.
