Sunni insurgents Making sure they don't alienate their jihadi constituency in the U S or abroad neither Clinton nor Obama dared refer to our adversary in terms of Islam even though moderator Charles Gibson posited his questions in reference to Islamic radicals Of course the Republican candidates made clear they understood who the enemy is John McCain was clear that the transcendent challenge of the 21st century is radical Islamic extremists Mike Huckabee said the threat we face is an Islamic problem a jihadist problem an Islamofascism problem Mitt Romney said [T]he philosophy of radical jihadism says 'We want to kill' Fred Thompson insisted We are in a global war with radical Islam They declared war on us a long long time ago We took note really for the first time on September 11 2001 While the cardinal duties of the President as defined by our Constitution pertain to the security of the nation it would seem that the Democrats are not even willing to define our enemy much less acknowledge that the jihadi WMD threat is a clear and present danger Instead since the first shots were fired to secure freedom in Afghanistan and Iraq (keeping the battlefront on their turf rather than ours) Clinton and Obama have condemned our Armed Forces operations opting to invoke the Vietnam model: Use their political soapbox and Leftmedia sympathies to rally their political base However the effect of their actions is no different from what it was in Vietnam: Their political gambit greatly emboldens our enemy and costs American lives On that subject we recently quoted a reputable columnist who along with some other national commentators made reference to the consequences of Leftmedia and anti war political campaigns when our troops were in Vietnam He attributed this quote to North Vietnamese General Vo Nguyen Giap: We were elated to notice your media was definitely helping us They were causing more disruption in America than we could in the battlefields We were ready to surrender after Tet You had won! On further review we determined there is not sufficient documentation for that attribution However Giap did have this to say in a 1989 interview with CBS: We paid a high price [during the Tet offensive] but so did you [Americans] not only in lives and materiel Do not forget the war was brought into the living rooms of the American people The most important result of the Tet offensive was it made you de escalate the bombing and it brought you to the negotiation table It was therefore a victory The war was fought on many fronts At that time the most important one was American public opinion More to the point in a 1995 interview with The Wall Street Journal Bui Tin a communist contemporary of Giap and Ho Chi Minh who was serving as an NVA colonel assigned to the general staff at the time Saigon fell had this to say about the Leftmedia and Soviet puppets like Hanoi Jane Fonda and John Kerry: [They were] essential to our strategy Support of the war from our rear was completely secure while the American rear was vulnerable Every day our leadership would listen to world news over the radio to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement Visits to Hanoi by people like Jane Fonda and former Attorney General Ramsey Clark and ministers gave us confidence that we should hold on in the face of battlefield reverses Bui stated further Those people represented the conscience of America The conscience of America was part of its war making capability and we were turning that power in our favor America lost because of its democracy; through dissent and protest it lost the ability to mobilize a will to win Most notably Bui observed that the 1968 Tet Offensive was to weaken American resolve during a presidential election year We had the impression that American commanders had their hands tied by political factors Your generals could never deploy a maximum force for greatest military effect After the war Bui Tin served as Vice Chief Editor for the People's Daily the official newspaper of the Communist Party of Vietnam However he became disillusioned with the Communist regime
Horowitz is not saying that all Muslims are bad, evil, or whatever negative connotation one can come up with. He is addressing the fact that there are a small group of Muslims that pervert the ways of Islam that either want to kill or convert you. What gets people angry or offended is when people use their selective hearing to think that Horowitz is painting all Muslims with a facist brush. That is not the case.

fascism... aaah...
the strength of many united as one...
symbolised by a bunch of sticks tied together. ancient roman symbolism. yes... fascism
like socialism and democracy, it floats like a cloud...
it's an especially fluffy cloud.
