Ace had a fantastic post yesterday, titled "Had Enough?" that is excellent! (I really think I'm going to have to add a new category: "Must Reads")
There is too much equivocation about terrorism. There is too much protection of hate-preachers and actual terrorists. There is too much coordination with the terrorists' message of the day. There is too much support, active support or the sorter sort of moral support, for the terrorists in Muslim communities.You guys had better get your shit under control, pronto. Because the American Street is growing very angry indeed.
You wouldn't like the American Street when it's angry.
Do you not realize that, due to our compassion, openness, and commitment to tolerance, we have lost more than 3000 lives, spent billions on security measures and unprecendentedly humane military interventions, seen hell wreaked on our economy, and have seen our lives disrupted and inconvenienced and just made generally poorer overall?
At what point do you think the limits of compassion, openness, and commitment to tolerance are reached? Do you imagine our virture -- or weakness, as you would have it -- in this regard is infinite?
And that's just the beginning.
Yay, Ace!
