The key word there is "commented." Again, I have made it abundantly clear to you, so your continuing with this argument says more about your tactics than mine.

Moving on.

Left wing loonies tend to watch Rachel Maddow. They also used to watch Keith Olberman. Why did you choose to mention Beck? That's rhetorical BTW.
Yes, they do. I don't. And Beck is, as I said, just a convenient and popular example of a reactionary ideologue that panders to zealots. I could just as well have said Noam Chomsky.

Everything was vey clear the moment I read your first post in this thread.
Evidently not.

Yes, I am.

It's just a casual observation, but in this country, there seems to be a lot more zealotry on the Right than the Left these days.

The pendulum swings to and fro.

Well, when you wake up in the morning and don your birkenstocks and rose colored glasses you see what you want to see.

You have a very bad habit of assuming facts not in evidence.

I've never worn birkenstocks in my life.

Moreover, I have several Republican friends that wear them constantly.

I'm sorry if we don't fit into your pigeoholes. Well not really.

Which is all well and good but they've already made their point: Play by our rules and we won't slice you up. Go against our rules and someone else will stand by ready to exact revenge.

The reason why this is happening in Europe and not here, is because Europe has been more accomidating and for longer. It will happen here, don't worry. I hate to say it, but they are getting what they deserve. Not that the teacher deserved that , but Europe has allowed Islam to take control and caves to their ways, instead of having them change at all. These people think that this way of life is normal and so they keep at it even if they move. Europe allows it and soon we will too.
