What would you rather watch?

Note: Earlier this month, six publicity-seeking imams filed a federal lawsuit against US Airways and the Metropolitan Airports Commission in Minneapolis/St. Paul. The Muslim clerics were removed from their flight last November and questioned for several hours after their suspicious behavior alarmed both passengers and crew members. Minneapolis Star Tribune columnist Katherine Kersten reported last week that the imams, advised by the grievance-mongers at the Council on American-Islamic Relations, also plan to sue "John Does" -- innocent bystanders who alerted the authorities about their security concerns. Rep. Steve Pearce, R-N.M., has introduced legislation to protect John Does who report suspicious behavior from legal liability. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty; talk show host Michael Reagan; Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, who heads the American Islamic Forum for Democracy; and Minnesota lawyer Gerry Nolting have all stepped forward to offer free representation to the imams' targets.

Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist,

You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours.

I am John Doe.

I am traveling on your plane. I am riding on your train. I am at your bus stop. I am on your street. I am in your subway car. I am on your lift.

I am your neighbor. I am your customer. I am your classmate. I am your boss.

I am John Doe.

I will never forget the example of the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who refused to sit back on 9/11 and let themselves be murdered in the name of Islam without a fight.

I will never forget the passengers and crew members who tackled al Qaeda shoe-bomber Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight 63 before he had a chance to blow up the plane over the Atlantic Ocean.

I will never forget the alertness of actor James Woods, who notified a stewardess that several Arab men sitting in his first-class cabin on an August 2001 flight were behaving strangely. The men turned out to be 9/11 hijackers on a test run.

I will act when homeland security officials ask me to "report suspicious activity."

I will embrace my local police department's admonition: "If you see something, say something."

I am John Doe.

I will protest your Jew-hating, America-bashing "scholars."

I will petition against your hate-mongering mosque leaders.

I will raise my voice against your subjugation of women and religious minorities.

I will challenge your attempts to indoctrinate my children in our schools.

I will combat your violent propaganda on the Internet.

I am John Doe.

I will support law enforcement initiatives to spy on your operatives, cut off your funding and disrupt your murderous conspiracies.

I will oppose all attempts to undermine our borders and immigration laws.

I will resist the imposition of sharia principles and sharia law in my taxi cab, my restaurant, my community pool, the halls of Congress, our national monuments, the radio and television airwaves, and all public spaces.

I will not be censored in the name of tolerance.

I will not be cowed by your Beltway lobbying groups in moderates' clothing. I will not cringe when you shriek about "profiling" or "Islamophobia."

I will put my family's safety above sensitivity. I will put my country above multiculturalism.

I will not submit to your will. I will not be intimidated.

I am John Doe.

I am Loyal Democrat
I am Loyal Democrat.

I will take the side of any entity that declares itself to be an enemy of the United States. I will consider any action taken by my government to be improper, and defend the position of any nation that opposes my own. I will not stand by while the concepts of freedom and liberty are allowed to infect the thoughts of repressed peoples. Rather, I will combat such efforts and convince the slaves of dictatorships that they have it better than anyone else.

I am Loyal Democrat.

I will tell all Americans that they had 9/11 coming as retribution for all of our evil deeds inflicted upon members of the most peaceful religion on earth. I will work to undermine any effort to destroy the Islamic tidal wave of terror that has vowed to wash onto our beaches. I will strive to weaken our military as it attempts to carry out its mission overseas. I shall encourage total surrender to any foe that threatens us.

I am Loyal Democrat.

I shall stir up domestic unrest by separating my fellow citizens into groups, and then I will encourage each group to distrust the next, and convince each that I am their one true friend. Through this magnificent deception, I will rule them all. I will convince minorities that they are inferior, and that they need my special help to succeed in life. Once I have them suspicious of others and fully demoralized, I will keep them down, and make their every gain dependent on what I decide to let them do. I shall oppress minorites worse than any avowed racist could ever hope to.

I am Loyal Democrat.

I will make every effort to criticize people that achieve, to hinder those that aspire, and ridicule those that display self-worth. In spite of my lack of personal merit, I will elevate myself in the eyes of others by bringing people with actual character down. I will prey on people's envy of others' success, and I will gain undeserved power as a result. I will take from those that earn until they lose the motivation to build up mankind any longer.

I am Loyal Democrat.

I will promote the tyranny of socialism, and crush the only economic system that has advanced mankind. And when we are all financially destitute and controlled by an omnipotent government, I shall laugh at the destruction I have wrought, for I truly hate mankind.

I am Loyal Democrat.

Remember me in 2008 kiddies.....

To Loyal Democrat
Amen, brother....

To LD
Hmmm, LD is it? Throughout your whole spiel, I had others running through my mind as to who you might really be. The following flitted through my consciousness: Hillary, Nancy P., Harry Reid (any kin to Richard)?, Teddy, Obama, Murtha and their partners CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, NYT and LAT.

The saddest part is, for the most part, they're getting away with it with little squawk from those they hold down, or from us.

Loyal Democrat and BrianR
Bravo! Another good piece of satire. You always hit the mark.

Brian,
Where do these imams get the nerve? From the PC crowd. They are doing exactly what most of us figured they would do, use our system against us.

So, with PC running amok in this country, they may very well find a jury who will be sympathetic to them. It's quite disturbing, but when you think you have seen and heard every ridiculous thing that happens here, you get shocked from another incident.

I sure like your idea of making them eat pork chops and bacon every day.

But, of course, they would scream torture and file another lawsuit.

Political Correctness
PC is for cowards, wimps and spineless fools. Did I leave anything out?

MM
God, I love this woman.

BrianR and Peppermint
Brian: I'm with you all the way on that. But I think Pork and Bacon would be to good for them. We should kept them in the pig pens and let them eat the pig slop.

Pep: It doesn't take nerve. These Islamic bas*rds see how the politicians and Liberals have weakened us and just waltz right in! He11, we even put them in or government. How stupid is that!

Islamofascists

I am John Doe.

To loyal Democrats
LD's satire was excellent. And true. And I do not understand how so many people in this country can have the wool pulled over their eyes by the liberals and PC crowd and actually believe the crapola. But witness 2006. Lets hope and pray 2008 reverses the stupidity. But I wont hold my breath.

Simply amazing
There are no words which can describe and/or define the utter disgust and contempt I feel towards our "beloved" CONgress Critters at this point.

Their lust for power and control at any cost shows their lack of sensibilities.

This country has not been this split politically since 1861 and look what happened then. Words and debate were useless back then as they are today. I fear for this country and her people.

The Silent Majority can no longer be silent. If they are, they deserve ALL that comes to them. It is time for action...words and debate are NOT working, nor will they.

Loyal Democrat:
I hope you don't mind but since my Townhall blog is down at the moment, I posted Michelle's article and your reply at the Moonbats In Training blog at gop.com.

You can find it here: http://www.gop.com/Blog/BlogPost.aspx?BlogPostID=2679

The thread title is "The Rookie". You may have to sign up to read the threads but be warned; do NOT place personal data in the "to be displayed" profile...the Moonbats will track you down.

That IS an excellent piece of work. I can't wait for the moonbat's responses/reactions.

Speaking as an attorney...
... I see that the imams are taking a page from the popular playbook, "How to Win Lawsuits and Intimidate People."

Can't get what you want? Can't win elections? Popular support? Even with fantastically favorable media coverage? Then do what legislative losers across the United States do -SUE!

After all, if the elected representatives of the people won't write laws to give you what you want, chances are you can always find a judge who will. And once one has done it - it's precedent - HOORAY! Now judges all across the country will start to do the same thing, miraculously, like island-bound monkeys washing potatoes!

And once enough of the judges have decided things your way, it'll be the OTHER GUYS (you know - that pesky majority of the American public who disagrees with you) who will actually have to get laws written by the legislature to undo the courts' decisions. And we ALL know how hard that is (nudge nudge, wink wink).

Michelle, YOU are a MIRACLE WORKER!!!
This "John Doe Manifesto" should get the widest possible dissemination possible!

It should be printed and distributed in great quantities at anti-war rallies!

It should be mailed to every church, synagogue, temple and mosque in the country!

It should be framed and hung on the household wall od every true American family!

It should... Man, I'm so excited I can't think of any more good ideas to put it to good use!

I could use a hand here, folks!

Great combination punch
Of MM and LD; great way to start the morning.

As to the chances of the imams finding a sympathetic jury: the case IS in Minnesota, isn't it?

It's my understanding that those poor people up that-a-way have more than their fair share of moonbats...even more than we have to put up with in Massachusetts.

Anybody have a way to get this into a Minnesota publication?

John Doe Manefesto
In April 1775 at Lexinton Green and Concord Bridge American Colonials not a professional army but common citizens stood up to the best army on the globe. The John Doe Manefesto is another call for citizens to stand up to tyrany. We have a right not to be intimidated. Our liberty is at stake like no other time in history and unless we stand firm our children and grandchildren will pay a terrible price.

MM and LD
Brilliant. Great work.

Oh LD, you so ROCK!!!
LD,
This is by Far your best work yet...I swear I am going to pay to have it put in my local rag.

Michelle, You pegged it and I am going to put it on a poster for a little NC "gathering" at UNC-CH...Yeah,baby!! Would you like to come? Icing on the cake!

Muslim Group Demands I.E.D. Ban

http://kilroyreport.townhall.com/

Muslim Anti-Defamation Group Demands I.E.D. Ban

HEADLINE NEWS:

DETROIT – In a surprising announcement today, America’s leading Muslim Anti-Defamation organization called for a worldwide cessation of I.E.D. usage. In calling for the ban, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued a press release today stating that "'I.E.D.' or 'Improvised Explosive Device', carries a negative connotation. “We are specifically offended by the word ‘Improvised’ in that it conveys the message that Muslim bombers are incapable of long term planning and preparation”, the statement said. In a follow up press conference, which reporters “attended” via video-link, CAIR spokesman Ibin Al Hooker said “While Muslims (peace be upon them) do pride themselves for being able to assess, adapt, and overcome, we also take great pride in our long term strategic planning skills”. Hooker went on to suggest that the term “CAIR Package” would be an acceptable alternative and more reflective of the positive contributions Muslims make to world peace".

In response to the announcement, the Carter Center praised CAIR for "its ongoing efforts in increasing cultural understanding and enhancing the dialog within the world community".

John Doe
Tolerance is the "virtue"of a man without conviction.....

Guerrilla posters
Back in the day, a group of us used to print up pithy sayings (such as "If Character Doesn't Count, Why Isn't Ted Kennedy President?") and scatter them in public places, post them where possible, and melt away.

This gave people a chance to ponder something they might not otherwise have thought about.

Perhaps it's time to print up this Manifesto and turn it into Guerrilla Postcards.

Think of a copy of this, for example, posted on the inside of every restroom stall door....

Instead of scrawling "Jane Loves John OK" next time, why not whip one of these out and tape it up for the next guy to read? Who knows, he might be one of those guys everybody ought to be watching.

On the list

Put Henry Waxman on the list for HR 984. It allegedly is aimed at keeping track of lobbyist contact with the executive branch, but required a report on every contact that tried to influence the government. I ask you, why do you usually write or call ANYONE in DC? To get something done.

As for the Imam's, I still believe at some point their case will fall, because the airline captain's authority is similar to that of a ship captain. The captain has the final authority on the safety of the aircraft and if you are deemed to be a hazard, you will be removed.

Bet we'd get arrested
for walking into a mosque eating pork barbeque.

Pakrat
As much as I would like to agree with you about a plane captain's final authority, I have to see the PC crowd actually winning this. For one, they have all the judges.

Truthfully, to the left, the only untouchable authorities are corrupt Democrat leaders and leftist loonies.

Heck, our Republican President has been hounded and belittled until he's lost much of his Constitutionally garunteed powers, either through legal channels or in fear of future repercussions.

SJR
LOL! Maybe we should put it to the test. If we were to walk into a mosque, very naive, innocent but curious. Right at the point where they are all kissing the floor. Walk in smelling of strong Bacon and munching on a pork barbecue and say, in the theme of Bugs Bunny, Whats up Doc?

Goshkawk
You scwewy wabbit!

Ahhh, civil rights
I believe the John doe manisfeto as proposed by Ms. Malkin was inherhent in the Declaration of Independence and even simply stated in the Preamble to the Constitution. There seems to be some sort of lunacy in any law that does not recognize that the Constitution was written to protect We, the People of the United States and some may even say 'selfishly' proclaimed that it was written 'for OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY'.
Establishing justice and insuring "DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY" were also stated just as clearly anlong with 'froming a more perfect UNION' (emphasis added).

We have allowed lawyers and politicians and even set-up scam artists, plus even judges convince us that the stated purpose of the Constitution is NOT law and hence has little or no meaning IN law, even though the stated purpose must of necessity be the foundation of ALL American law and any interpretation, thereof.

Even the Bill of Rights contained the tone of the Declaration of Independence -- there are just some things you just don't have any authority to mess with and Amendment 4 sort of makes it clear that it doesn't just apply to government but to ANYONE who would attempt to take away something from an individual who was unwilling to part with it. The Second Amendment not says "I am john Doe, but I may be armed and dangerous to anyone who oversteps propriety.

A common greeting among Muslims is "As-salaam alaykum" (peace be with you), but it seems hypocritical when they follow up with acts that clearly take away 'peace', even if it is 'peace of mind'.

We have been led to believe that 'rights' may be applied unequally, especially if such aplication is deemed 'politically correct'. But if one believes the Constitution, RIGHTS can not be dispensed unequally or else there are no rights at all EXCEPT what 'government' permits to some favored group or few. After all, if the law says I must not 'offend' Fred, shouldn't it also prevent Fred from offending ME? If Fred gets to define how HE, his beliefs and practices are supposed to be respected, do I not also have the same identical right to define how I, my beliefs and practices are to be respected to exactly the same degree?

What was 'common sense' over 200 years ago has been replaced with legislated and adjudicated lunacy and common sense has seemingly been made illegal.

Heck, when even the Supreme Court can not be unanimous on what a law or 'rights' mean, how in blazes are us 'ordinary citizens' suppoesd to make sense of any law or interpretation that does not make sense?

Government is supposed to protect us and our rights -- not drive us insane or into bankruptcy -- or both -- by allowing virtually ANY complaint to become legitimized by forcing the issue in a court of law where NO ONE knows what the outcome might be unless it is 'fixed' and by making almost any grievance a 'federal case'.

Of course, when this nation was founded, "Pistols at 20 paces" was allowed for those who claimed to be 'offended'.


Right On!
Right on, Michelle!

Michelle and Loyal...
Rock on you two!


John Doe
Wow!!! Great column, Michelle. Your tone was just right and summed up the way the rest of us who do not have your stature feel.

Mike D.

Congress offers a ray of hope - for once
This was posted on hotair last night.

Sometimes "political expediency" and "doing the right thing" are one and the same. Check the roll, linked at the bottom of the page. If your rep is on the list of "NO" voters, you MUST make sure it comes back to bite them in '08.

It might be added that...
..."I, too, am John Doe; and I am ARMED".

I might add that...
...speaking of armed I would love to blast that little bird running across the bottom of my screen, but, alas, I don't think it would help my monitor.
TBC

MM
Is a national treasure. Clarity of thought and backbone. What a combination.

Great Column & Comment by LD!
I hung up a copy at my desk...right under my WTC photo of the firemen hoisting the flag. Thank you Michelle.

Lefties aren't touching this article
Anyone else notice that?

Disapproval of Loyal DemocRAT
You qualify as a terrorist enabler/apologist and
other undesirable nomenclatures. I am a proud
veteran(2 of my years of service were during
VietNam)who served to protect your right to make
an absolute idiot and traitor of yourself. I have
gotten a superior return for my investment of
12 years in the military as you are doing a superb job of demonstrating your mastery of
advanced idiocy and hatred of this great nation
along with advanced moonbattiness. If I could,
I would exile you to a country that practices
strict sharia and let you find out what would
happen to you the first time you spoke out against that government(execution by beheading
without any trial or lawyer representation).

I'm Spartacus
...err, I mean John Doe.

MM You Da Man
MM has more testoserone than most of those emasculated metrosexuals who take up space in congress. A pox on them and their kind. These cretons in CAIR have taken our system and now use it as a weapon against us. What the 19 hijackers did with our planes CAIR now does with the legal system. With any luck maybe just maybe the American people will wake up to what is happening to our nation. This slavish devotion to due process regardless of the results will be the death of our country. The Constitution is not a suicide pact for Christs sake! As Ben Franklin said "If we don't hang together we will surely hang separately." Do you think we can convince Janet Reno there are Branch Davidians or maybe a small Cuban boy in CAIR HQ? If so them maybe our so called government by the people will do something.

I'll touch it Fergus
If using a phrase like that doesn't get me arrested... I think most liberals haven't touched it because on the whole there isn't an awful lot to disagree with. I think many liberals agree in principle with much of it, but I suppose it's the method with which these things are dealt that most disagreement comes. I think it's a bit too late to do much about the multiculturalism bit, unless Michelle fancies taking a one-way trip back to Manila or wherever it is that her ancestors came from. I'm not in favour of censorship over tolerance but don't gripe when people criticise your views or decide you're too full of hate to bother with. I don't think any liberal would deny that a terrorist enabler, funder or planner is our enemy too. Yes, I left out apologist in the name of free speech. But of course I'm forgetting, all liberals hate America don't we?

Loyal Democrat is on OUR side....
Bill,
You must be new to Townhall.com - Loyal Democrat writes SATIRE, some of the best around. He(or she) is on the side of the angels....read it again, keeping in mind that LD is writing an amazing parody of what real leftwing loonies think and say....and you'll appreciate it for its brilliance....

Nice Airport
I flew through Minneapolis twice last month. It's a very nice airport. If whatever they are doing is illegal, we need to change the law.

And is it just me, or does this John Doe law suit sound too much like the last episode of Seinfeld seen through a looking glass?

Critical Bill
Words are cheap. Nice shot - "if it doesn't get me arrested". The words of a coward.
Liberals in the rat basin we call D.C. just ENABLED terrorists, planners, funders, etc. by telling them "we'll quit". THOSE liberals deny an enemy of our nation exists.
Whatever happened to DEMOCRATS who used to say "pay any price, bear any burden" to champion the cause of freedom? Or are you too young to remember that?
And, in no satire, Liberals do not think of anything as higher than themselves.

CriticalBill
"I think it's a bit too late to do much about the multiculturalism bit, unless Michelle fancies taking a one-way trip back to Manila or wherever it is that her ancestors came from."

... and thus you display either a remarkably monochrome vision, or else an appallingly simplistic one, of what "multiculturalism" is.

"Multiculturalism" is not the same as "immigration," and I seriously doubt that you will find many conservative opponents of the former who object to the latter. Yes, MM is of Filipina descent - but she is not a Filipina woman who happens to be living in the United States; she is an AMERICAN woman of Filipina heritage. Do you not see the distinction? Simply put, Michelle, if not her parents and possibly grandparents before her, *ASSIMILATED*. It is the stark refusal of immigrant groups to do exactly that which gets opponents of multiculturalism upset.

Are you correct that it's too late to do anything about it? God I hope not. But if it isn't, that scarcely means that recent immigrants need to go home, as you would have us believe.

"I don't think any liberal would deny that a terrorist enabler, funder or planner is our enemy too."

Ward Churchill.
Cornel West.
Lynn Redgrave.
Harry Belafonte.
Cindy Sheehan.
Lynne Stewart.
Ramsey Clark.
William Kunstler.

Those are just the famous ones, and just off the top of my head...

T
I was making a little joke on "I'll touch it". An innuendo. OK, not a good joke, but not one that I expected to pass over anyone's head. Clearly I was wrong. Not the words of a coward - the words of a poor comedian. I trust Fergus has sufficient brains to get it, unlike your good self. Yep, too young and too foreign to remember that.

way to go, Michelle!
i'd like to see some enterprising individual start printing up t-shirts with "I am John Doe" on them. Perhaps an artist in the crowd can add some artwork

Correction
Got my Redgraves confused; I meant Vanessa Redgrave.

Fergus
OK - but I would argue that those you list there are not liberals in the mainstream sense whose views do not by any measure represent most liberals. Just as many right wing lunatics don't represent the average conservative's views. Or at least I hope not. As for multiculturalism, I agree that assimilation is important. There are degrees of it; why are so many people out on the streets in the States celebrating St Patrick's day? Apart from to get smashed. Cinco de Mayo? Some degree of multiculturalism is always going to exist. I would hate to forget my Scots heritage. Are you Scots or Irish? Have you totally abandoned your roots? I think not.

Hotdamn!
Malkin homered with the bases loaded. I can add nothng to her article except to say that I, too, will not give an inch.

The Enemy Amongst Us
Michell's "John Doe Manifesto" should be hung in the halls of Congress, academia, editorial offices of the MSM media and every home in America.

Just a few weeks ago Gen. Petraeus was confirmed by the Senate unanimously as to authority and mission. Now half of those same Senators have voted to surrender to the enemy at a date certain! Unbelievable!
Gen. Petraeus said at his confirmation, "War is a battle of wills". Churchill said, "In war resolution". Gen. George Washington spoke often of, "Perseverance and spirit"

To paraphrase the Manifesto, the libdemos in Congress have been "intimidated, cowed by our enemy and submitted to our enemies will". Not unlike, the "summer soldiers and sunshine patriots" in times past.

Can you imagine the joy in our enemies camp if any of the leaders of the libdemos became our CIC?

The message Congress has sent has encouraged our enemy, Radical Islam ( Note Iran's latest act of piracy/war against our ally), discouraged our troops and made this long and difficult war against our enemy even longer and more difficult.

Fortunately there are millions of "winter soldiers" thruout America like Michelle Malkin who, support our CIC/troops/mission and have the will and courage to prevail.

Critical Bill
Vanessa Redgrave is a celebrated doyenne of the Left, a "grand dame" whose last appearance on Bill Maher's show was greeted with thunderous applause.

Harry Belafonte enjoys similar acclaim from the Left, despite his embrace of Huge Chavez.

Cindy Sheehan was ENDLESSLY courted in the last election cycle.

Ward Churchill's rights to use his educational podium at a State-sponsored University to spout the most odious terrorist-supporting filth, not to mention his rampant and egregious plagiarizing and lying in his published works, have been vigourously defended by every "liberal" educrat I can think of.

Ramsey Clark was in Lyndon Johnson's ADMINISTRATION as *Attorney General*.

William Kunstler was so celebrated by the Hollywood Left, the purveyors of Pop Culture, he got hired to play himself on several episodes of Law & Order.

So explain to me how "most liberals" do not subscribe to their views.

And despite your backpedaling, you originally wrote: "...unless Michelle fancies taking a one-way trip back to Manila or wherever it is that her ancestors came from."

That is a direct equation of multiculturalism with the simple fact of immigration. Either defend that statement or disown, but please don't sidestep.Vanessa Redgrave is a celebrated doyenne of the Left, a "grand dame" whose last appearance on Bill Maher's show was greeted with thunderous applause.

Critical Bill; PD
1. Apologies for the weird doubling in my last post.

2. Yes, I got your "get arrested" joke, and found it funny as he11. Apparently you and I share the same warped sense of humor... scary, that.

Critical Bill
I don't know if ALL liberals hate America, but I do know that YOU don't know multi-culturalism. Seems to me, like most liberals, you've got your multi's confused.

Fergus
I'm not sure I did sidestep the Malkin thing. Any American who has benefited from the multi-culturalism that is at the heart of America should rejoice in the fact that anyone is welcome. And that means just about ALL Americans give or take a generation. Yourself included if your name is anything to go by. And if anyone did any sidestepping it's you by ignoring my point about St Paddy's day etc. As for your list, well, I've never heard of the last two, Ward Churchill speaks for no-one but himself, which he is free to do, as does Vanessa Redgrave who is even thought of as a loony over here. Cindy Sheehan started off alright but went off the rails, and Harry Belafonte has the odd moment of sanity but on the whole is one sandwich short of a picnic. Does Michael Savage speak for you?

MM and LD - best ever
Michelle, absolutely brilliant column! And LD, your best ever too!

No dispute over content
Yes, there is a great difference in how the left wants to deal with terrorism versus how the right wants to deal with it. The radical left seems to think we can negotiate with radial Islam, give them what they want and they will leave us alone (i.e. appeasement).
In my view, this is the same as paying off blackmailers. They will continue to hold their advantage over your head and ask for more. Radical Islam will not be satisfied until we all convert to Islam and live under Sharia Law. You can apologize for every instance of the U.S. "interfering" in other nation's business, or basically turn to isolationism in order not to offend Muslim's sensitivities; but, they have already infected England, Spain, and many other European nations, and are slowly working on changing those nations by rioting, protesting or filing lawsuits in order to force their world-view on that nation. They are now in this country and trying to impose their view on the rest of us (cab drivers refusing to pick-up certain passengers for example). The whole Imams at the airport episode was planned and well executed. If you can't see that then you dont' want to see it. At least the right wants to attack the threat head on. To get rid of cancer, you have to kill or deactivate ALL of it. Any miniscule cells that are left will multiply, spread and eventually destroy the organ(s) that it has infected.
To all Muslims (and extreme leftist as it may apply): I am a soft hearted conservative that will allow you to live how you want to live as long as it is done in the privacy of your own home, but I will not tolerate conversion by force or acceptance by force. I will not see my country converted to socialism, or Islamofacism. I am armed and will not hesitate to defend my family or my friends. I will defend your right to practice your religion, but will also defend my right to practice mine and will not allow you to erode that right. Your rights end where mine begin, just as mine end where yours begin. If you want tolerance, you have to be tolerant. So far, you have shown no tolerance for our way of life so there is no incentive (or benefit) for us to show you ANY tolerance. You have taken advantage of our tolerance, benevolence and sense of fair play. You will probably be able to continue to use our inherent sensibilities against us, but know that a majority of us can only take so much and woe unto those that face our wrath. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are firecrackers compared to our current capability. Even righties don't really want war, but I for one am not afraid to use what ever force is necessary to maintain the REPUBLIC that our founding fathers created.

Critical Bill
1. "Any American who has benefited from the multi-culturalism that is at the heart of America should rejoice in the fact that anyone is welcome."

- Again, that is an issue of IMMIGRATION, which most conservatives are fine with, NOT "multi-culturalism," which many conservatives condemn. Why is that distinction such a hard concept for you to grasp?

- St. Patrick's Day is a non-sequitur, as is Cinco de Mayo. Celebrating holidays which have become thoroughly Americanized is not only harmless, it is actually a sign of HEALTHY ASSIMILATION. The "multi-culturalism" which I and many other conservatives decry is on the order of cab drivers refusing to pick up fares who are blind and have seeing-eye dogs, because Mohammed disliked dogs.

*That's* why I ignored your St. Patrick's Day citation; it was irrelevant.

AGAIN: *YOU* equated Immigration with multi-culturalism in your original post; I have now repeatedly demonstrated why that equation was a false one. Do you want to try to support your original statement, or do you wanna do a "mea culpa, I was wrong" ?

2. "Does Michael Savage speak for you?"

Nope. Personally, I think he's an a$$. But that in no way means that I get to say that he is not a "real" conservative.

3. Kunstler and Stewart were members of the legal team for the "blind sheik" Omar Abdel-Rahman, who planned the 1993 WTC bombing. Kunstler also defended numerous other low-lifes in his career; he made it a point of pride and publicity that he defended the worst of the worst, not just in the courtroom but in the newspapers as well, the "courtroom of public opinion." This included a public school teacher who absconded with one of his fifteen year old female students, by the way. He was also Chairman of the ACLU for a number of years.

Lynne Stewart recently went to prison for "passing notes" between Abdel-Rahman and his terrorist organization in Egypt.

4. You may think Redgrave and Belafonte, Sheehan and Churchill as loonies, and say that they don't speak for you. That's fine. But that was also never the issue. Here's what the issue was:

"I don't think any liberal would deny that a terrorist enabler, funder or planner is our enemy too."

Those are your words: ANY LIBERAL.

Just because the folks I cited don't necessarily represent *your* views does not mean that you get to make the claim that they aren't Liberals. With many on my list, much of the Hollywood Left would disagree with you. As would much of the Campus Left in this country, and the NYC/DC Leftist elite. To many fine, upstanding Liberals who *aren't* you, every name on the list I cited are folks they revere, they laud, they pay large honoraria to have come speak at their institution, they invite to dinner parties as Guest of Honor, etc. etc. ad nauseam.

I applaud your distancing yourself from the folks I cited; I think that says a lot about you. But it in no way defends either the statement I quoted, nor your attempt to define down "Liberal" to excuse folks who inconveniently get in the way of your careless statement.

I'll re-note
Someone mentioned earlier, and I'll note again even now, not one single Lefty has come forward on this column as of now.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

Could it be that there are some issues that are too nutso even for THEM?

Addendum
It occurs to me that Kunstler is especially relevant because if he were still alive, he would probably have run over Omar Mohammedi, the Flying Imams' lawyer, in an effort to get to them and file their ridiculous, dangerous lawsuit on their behalf.

Dave
That is an excellent idea and I'm going to print it off and send mine today. Thanks for the great idea.

The John Doe Manifesto
I feel that the main problem is ourselves. If we continue to support entities that enable the liberal, socialist, communist in Congress, we deserve what we've got. Because Tyson Foods supported the Clinton Scum-Bags, I refuse to buy anything Tyson. I refuse to buy CITGO gas. We have to effectively boycott any and all entities that support the liberal, socialist, communist in our country. I wish that someone would produce a complete list of corporations/companies/businesses that give their support to the left, then we can use that list to boycott those entities. If we would do this for six months or more, they will start hurting, and begin to change their tunes. Get an AK, a .45 pistol, and lots of ammo.

I am John Doe
"I don't think any liberal would deny that a terrorist enabler, funder or planner is our enemy too."

Critical Bill, Do you know what your Party has been doing? You really need to start paying attention.


MM
Great column--great American--MM's wruitings should be available to all the John Does in the US. Hope all remember come election day.

Where is Kimberly??????????
She is such an anti-American loon that I expected her to be up in arms defending the six imams and cheering them on.

As usual Michelle - you are right on!

LoyalDemocrat
That is the best thing I have read in a long, long time! I hope you forward that to some democrats in Congress! If you truly are a loyal democrat I hope you take back your party for the sake of the country. Right now all we have is uneducated political hysteria. People like you can change that. We need a two party system that is committed to America first and foremost! The lessons of right and wrong have been lost to the system and it's time we work together to correct that, even if it means confrontation, and no matter how hard it is.

No, I’m Spartacus!
I loved that movie. As for I’m John Doe, Gary Cooper did it better than I ever can.

In response to LD
Michelle finally wrote an article I can accept in principle if not in specifics.

LD,let me see...

I am a loyal Republican.

My country is right, always. We never make mistakes ever. If we do, they are made by Democrats. I you are not an American REPUBLICAN, any point of view that deviates from mine is wrong and you hate America.

I am a loyal Republican.

Only republicans can love their country. I know all democrats hate this country and that no democrat every put his life on the line for it. That is done by the republican elites, unless they have something more important to do.

I am a loyal Republican.

The worst republican administrator is a better administrator than the Best democratic administrator. Like my leader, I think Brownie did a heck of a job. If you don't think he did a heck of a job, you hate Amerca.

I am a loyal Republican.

I believe in smaller government and lower taxes. If we can have them both, then lower taxes. If we can't have that, then lower taxes on the Rich, because they pay more money in taxes.

I also believe in a balanced budget and reducing our debt. Only America haters will try to make you think the debt has incresed 3x in the last 6 years. Who will you believe, a loyal Republican or someone who hates america?

I am a loyal Republican.


For those who don't know
and suffer from serious PC'ism Cindy Sheehan has been marching around the Bay Area and protesting since her son Casey was in diapers. She is nothing more than a political opportunist being paid by Medea Benjamin (Code Pink trust fund baby) and MoveOn.org to protest. It took her years but she finally found a way to make a living at what she does best...being an ignoramus. She has her own special parking spaces at SF State and UCSF. She has the filthiest mouth I have ever heard. She should be ostracized and those like her.

Michelle,
Hoorah! Like Coulter, you are NOT afraid of the
PC police! For that, I thank you. Your words were forwarded to my Senators (one of whom betrayed the moderate voters who put him in office) and my Representative, in addition to being sent to my local paper.

Loyal Democrat, a round of applause to you. Your words were also forwarded to the same people.

Critical Bill
Since you are not very observant let me point out to you. People celebrate St. Patrick's Day and Cinco De Mayo due to carefully crafted and exploited marketing plans. Yep, it's big business. Notice they are not Nationally recognized holidays though? I think you missed that. Just as politicians pander so does big business. Notice almost all retail sales ads run with all holidays big and small? Missed that too didn't you. Marketing is just another form of media manipulation. Some are easier manipulated than others.

BHL
your best retort to LD, pitiful; time to call in the moonbat "bull"-pen

The John Doe Manifesto
Michelle, another great column!
“Evil itself is not dangerous without the help of those who tolerate it.”

BHL, thank you for your hate but it still is a very weak piece of writing. You certainly pay attention to the "antique" media. You effort speaks volumes to their drum beat of misinformation and stereotyping.

LD, very well thought out. You have boiled down the "new" democrat party into a few paragraphs. Marvelous work!

Nee, very well thought out!

Mickey, yes to your boycotts, we should all do our part. Also, join SASS, the Single Action Shooting Society, as it teaches marksmanship and patience plus it is fun and safe.
We’re going to need those traits if our weak Republicans and cowardly Democrats have their greedy ways.

Very disappointing, BHL - D+
"I am a Republican" was your big chance, but sorry, it wasn't funny. As a lib maybe you don't understand that good humor has to have a grain of truth in it.

LD is a genius while you are only a wannabe. You can keep trying, but since you lack basic insight of the right side, you'll continue to miss the mark. But don't be discouraged, you'll understand when you grow up.

Democrat Motto
"When all else fails...CHEAT!"

roadmaster
Actually, the thing I found interesting about BHL's effort was that it seemed to mix wild exaggerations containing no truth whatsoever, with head-scratchers like this one...

"I am a loyal Republican.

I believe in smaller government and lower taxes. If we can have them both, then lower taxes. If we can't have that, then lower taxes on the Rich, because they pay more money in taxes. "

... which is poorly states but a relatively true statement of conservative tax policy. It's a head scratcher how he feels this is an *indictment* of conservatives... maybe because he just can't grasp the concept of tax policy based on economic incentives? I don't know, but this was indeed a puzzler...

Fergus
Your responses to CB could be used as actual examples in any class on debating or critical thinking.

Outstanding job....I almost began to feel sorry for CB....almost.

FergusMacLennan - Puzzler Answer?
BHL is a big believer in.

"to each, according to their needs; from each, according to their means."

We all know, except maybe BHL, who said that.

The rest you can chalk up to how awkwardly he forms his thoughts and expresses them.

BHL
I am a loyal Republican.

I abhor the concessions that the leadership of my party have made in order to attract voters from the left. I dislike the disregard for the enforcement of immigration laws out of a desire to pander to hispanic voters. And I dislike the cozying up to radical left Senators like Kennedy in an attempt to show bipartisanship at any cost.

I am a loyal Republican.

I realize that my government can make mistakes in policy, but I do not use the opportunity to humiliate my own nation in the eyes of the world in order to distance myself from failed attempts at national defense. I know that as a nation we have a great quality of life, and sometimes we get lost in our attempts to share our successful ways with others. But when such attempts fail, I do not join the enemies of my country in their attempts to destroy our military and forever harm our international image. I will fight to preserve the nation that is the last holdout in a world that is increasingly hostile to freedom.

I am a loyal Republican.

I know that Americans hold opposing views to many issues, and respect the voices that dissent from my own. But I do not find rapture in the critics that viciously defile our culture, curse our land, hate those that defend us, and rally those that would overthrow our economic system that sustains the world. I appreciate civilized dissent, but I also recognize blatant sedition when I see it.

I am a loyal Republican.

I appreciate good government officials, whatever their political affiliation. When corrupt officials are found within my party, I call for their dismissal. Likewise, I call for the dismissal of corrupt members of the opposing party, but am typically blocked.

I do believe in smaller government and lower taxes. And taxes should be lower on the rich, because they pay a much higher percentage of their income in taxes. I do not find it to be a fair policy to let the vast majority of Americans ride freely on the backs of those that strive to achieve. I believe in a country that promotes free enterprise, not the virtues of Marxism.

On the same line, I have had it with the members of my party that have increased the size of government manyfold. I will not tolerate my party acting like the opposition in their promotion of socialism. I will not allow my party to open the borders to a massive invasive force of the world's indigent in order to obtain votes and cheap labor.

I will fire the members of my party when they bring disgrace to our nation.

I am a loyal Republican.

(Well, actually more of a Libertarian, but you get the idea...)

Fergus
Awesome points to Critical Bill. I'm guessing he's gone away with his tail tucked squarely between his legs.

BHL

Very weak.

Here, BHL, try these
They aren't as right on as Sawgunners, but with tongue firmly planted in cheek,

I am a loyal Republican
I have been accused of being racist, bigoted, homophobic, etc so many times that I will hide under my desk until a real "man" like Ann Coulter speaks up, at which time I will emerge and castigate her in an effort to seem fair.

I am a loyal Republican
In deference to compromise and comity, I will knuckle under to the lunatic demands of democratics and hope that compared to them, I'll be seen as "nice" by Chris Mathews.

I am a loyal Republican
I will never call a spade a spade since that will brand me as a racist.

I am a loyal Republican
I will refrain from calling democratics on their blatant hypocrisy and dangerous appeasement mentality because that would be mean.

I am a loyal Republican
I will remain silent when lies about me or the President are repeated again and again, clinging to my hope that people seeing my 10 second sound bite every other week will understand that my party is above petty partisan politics.

I am a loyal Republican
I will ignore the will of the people and rely on jiggered opinion polls to set policy.

I am a loyal Republican
I will adopt the opposition's effective technique of changing words to appear as something different than their original meaning - like earmarks for pork, and fees instead of taxes.

I am a loyal Republican
I will not push for border security because some illegal aliens somewhere may accidently vote replubican, even though they have already been bought and paid for by the democraticks nanny state.

I am a loyal Republican
I will never again attempt to fix Social Security because I am scared of old people.

I am a loyal Republican
Since I also yearn for as much CNN face time as dhimmicraticks, I will never point out their demogoguery, deceit or duplicity, as that would not be polite.

I am a loyal Republican
I will throw under the bus any and all of my compatriots falsely accused, slimed, slandered or smeared by the MSM and their partners the dems, in hopes that they will like me.

Gee, this is fun! I could go on all day.

Disclaimer - I haven't been a loyal republican since the day after Columbine, when McCain, Hatch and others almost knocked each other down getting in front of cameras to push for more gun control. The party's stock had been failing with me since the lame impeachment proceedings. In my opinion, if you are going to go for something as serious as removing a President, you better have all your ducks in a row and make a serious effort, NOT declare it to be dead on arrival like Lott did.

I am John (Jane) Doe
Excellent work Michelle, and her crew. You never disappoint.

Despite the PC/liberal media's best attempts, we will never forget!

re: Critical Bill
I am going to give Critical Bill the benefit of the doubt, and assume that he had somewhere to be, and had to leave online activities behind. Certainly I would hate it if everytime I had to get my nose back to the grindstone, my debating partners took that as a sign of *my* retreat. Moreover, ideology aside, CB has proven himself a civil fellow, one who debates reasonably fairly, and owns up when he is demonstrated to be wrong. At any rate, I prefer to assume the best of my opponents and let them have the opportunity to NOT disappoint me.

Here's hopin'...

Sawgunner ... bullseye!
Great rebuttal (2:26 pm post). Expresses my sentiments exactly. I don't think all Republicans are faultless and neither do most conservatives. That is why the Libs took control of congress. Conservatives refused to vote for libs in Republican clothing. Roadmaster expressed his disgust for RINOs extremely well. Cudos to him as well. The Dems have spun the 2006 election into support for their agenda rather that what it really was, repudiation for Repulicans who acted like Democrats. Sawgunner nailed that sentiment as well.

John Doe
MStone said it best..."God, I love this woman". Goes double for me!

Interesting comments....
To Whom It May Concern:


Long time Townhall fan first time "blogger" here I was just playing around here and ran across you alls comments. All that I read were interesting. I do my best to try and read whatever articles Michelle Malkin posts as she always has something good to say and I agree with all she has to say plus she is a great looking lady as Rush Limbaugh oft says, "I love the women's movement,especially from behind." I would walk through hell on Sunday twice to read an article by Michelle Malkin. Until next time God speed and happy trails to you and yours and remember always to keep smiling until then....


P.S.
Michelle has my vote for the new Chief of Homeland Security!!!!!


Great message!
First time reader, first time poster! I have to say that every self respecting Republican, American should put that as the next blog entry on their blogs! Send a big message to the powers that be!

My congressman is on the list...with any luck at all I'll be able to use this against him next time he runs and, get a Republican elected in his place. Being from Massachusetts we have 10 congressmen, 9 of the 10 are on this list... WOW!

Michell calls it right.
We need to get airlines to have luxury flights with seats upholstered of the same leather we use for footballs.

Those Imams AND CAIR should be sued for causing emotional anguish to each passenger and punitive damages demanded.

Nice job Ms. Malkin.
I'll be posting this and linking to it over at my site. (Not that you need my pitiful traffic!)

(Oh, and I like Loyal Democrat's piece, too. Say, isn't LD an endangered species?)

I agree with Silicondoc
I happen to think Silicondoc is right on the money. To those of you who did not vote Republican in 06 in an effort to "send a message", answer this: Do you think they got the message? Because I am not seeing it.

Awesome
Michelle, thank you. You are awesome. I have sent this to everyone I know, and have printed out a copy which I will type and hang over my desk in a frame. This will make a great gift!

LD: Thank you. You are brilliant. I love you.

MyOpine
The reverse lawsuit idea is great!

What happened to the GOP in '07
How could we let the Democrats take control of Congress? We accomplished so much with GW Jr. at the helm during those first 6 years- did we all forget to vote? I don't know how the American people could think that Republicans are better at protecting this country than Democrats.

After all, it was the Democrats who:

- took off on vacation for the month prior to 9/11. After all, the fall is usally relatively slow and we all need a month-long vacation now and then.

- disregarded advice from the CIA that intelligence about Iraq seeking uranium from Africa was not to be trusted. How could the Dems betray their country to get into a war that wasn't needed? Shame on them for not being honest with the American people from the start- we might actually respect them now if they didn't have such a sordid history of lying.

-attacked the wrong country because of their lies about intelligence. Didn't the Dems know that most of the hijackers came from Saudi Arabia? Maybe the Dems just aren't smart enough to know about the different countries in the Middle East and assumed they were all the same. Still, Iran sounds more like a country we could have attacked than Iraq- what were the Democrats thinking?!


Magnificus
Thank you for providing that list. Fortunately, I did not see my Representative (the usually dependably Liberal Mark Udall) on that list, but I DID see Denver's Diana Degette, who took over Pat Schroeder's seat, but has yet to achieve ger predecessor's depth of Leftist depravity. Sure seems like she is working hard on it, however.

Gee, is it okay to question their patriotism YET? This one is just over the top.

Ugh, now I'm sick to my stomach and feel like I want to puke, and it's barely 6:30 in the morning. Guess the Dhimmicraps are good for ONE thing, it turns out: my weight-loss regimin!

Homeland security
Great column that should be signed by every Homeland Security employee and posted by their desk. Actually, it ought to be at every government employee's desk, particularly politicians.

Thanks, MM. After weeks of gloomy news, this column made my day!

Message to republicans
Have to agree with silicondoc that voting out the RINOs was a bit of a suicidal move.

Even taken in the best possible light, there is a serious problem with voting them out to send a message.

The problem with the "message" to republicans sent by the unhappy conservatives is that it can be read by them two ways:

1. Be more conservative or we'll vote you out
2. Be more liberal, since they won the elections

Reminds me of punishing my son. if he does something bad, then stops before I can punish him, what to do? (He is very young, so can't explain it to him.) If I punish him will he associate it with the bad he was doing, or with stopping his bad act. In other words, does he think he should not do bad, or that he should not stop doing bad?

The same with the republicans. It would be easy for them to see democrat victories and think more left wing policies are the key to victory.

Ooo! A "conservatives = Nazis" line! I haven't seen one of those for just HOURS AND HOURS!!!

Congratulations moron, you go to the head of the class!

... what a maroon... what an ultramaroon...

My two cents
Are our school systems doing such a poor job that a graduate of said system can't even make the connection that MM's postings more resemble those of Thomas Paine and Patrick Henry than Herr Schicklegruber?

God, what a bunch of over-educated idiots you libs are. Stupid is, as stupid does, I guess???

I'm not a big fan of MM or her buddy KH. But this is one column that I happen to agree with.

Veritas Vos Liberabit Michelle.

Schools and a rebuttal
Schools don't teach the principals behind Thomas Paine, Patrick Henry, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, or James Monroe. They just teach what they did (wrote such and such document, was the Nth president, etc.) They then push leftist philosophy and paint those that founded our nation as evil because they pushed the Native Americans off their land and then brought slaves here to do the hard work.
To MassLib: Michele is not ranting. Look Manifesto up in the dictionary. This is a public declaration of principals or intentions. Since 9 of the 10 Representative from your state voted to allow those six Imams (or any islamofacist) to sue anyone who would report suspicious behavior in public places, you obviously think terrorist have a right to blow up, gas, or burn airplanes, trains, automobiles, busses, etc. as a form of free speech or protest of Western interference in their affairs. Your misguided ideas or feelings show your education is rooted in leftist propoganda that really has no application in the real world. I will pray for you and hope that you learn the error of your beliefs before the public transportation you use becomes the next terrorist message.

I'm in love, is Mashelle Malkin married?
I can't decide whats hotter Mashelle's physical beauty or her superiour intelect.

When do I get the Premium
Michelle,
Any plans for putting a secret decoder watch in the bottom of the box of Creepy your selling?

One last questiont
Right of center pundits and commentators have been busy, busy, busy drawing up all sorts of pledges, oaths, manifestos, contracts, and other allegiant documents these days.
Why do you ignore the tried and true pinky-swear, Michelle?

The John Doe Manifesto
Just 5 words:

APPLAUD IT.

ps:
May a thousand camels pee in your well; may they poop on your prayer rug.

Stronger letter follows.

Frivilous lawsuits
Last time I checked, private companies have the right to chose who the do and do not do business with. If US Air chooses not to do business with anyone that even looks middle eastern, that is their choice and no legal repercussions are possible. It is NOT against the law to be suspicious of someone or not like someone because of what they look like. Unless you break a law in that hatred, it is perfectly protected under the US Constitution. Dems are more concerned with protecting a rapists' rights than protecting the right of the victim to not be raped!

Reply to Juicy Fruit
Good comments. Malkin is in this for the money and only the money.

Her pattern goes something like this:

Imply a wild claim, such as John Kerry shot himself in Viet Nam, then when pinned to the wall by Chris Matthesws and made to look silly when she won't answer yes or no, she attacks Matthews in her column as a sexist for comments there were no witnesses to.

Wonkette criticizes her John Doe video and she immediately has Hotair go after them by using the posts of Wonkette readers. Many of the hotair readers post some pretty extreme solutions such as shooting illegal immigrants, nuke mecca and the like but she doesn't discourage this.

Claim credit for the gathering of eagles and talk about the amazing contrast between the Eagles and the anti-war folks, lo and behold pics show up on the internet showing rabid "eagles", Malkin ignores that altogether.

Writes a horribly inaccurate book about Internment, gets called out and proven to have used flawed sources, basically making her book a work of fiction. Writes some pathetic "errata" in her blog and says that settles it once and for all and refuses to answer any more questions on it. When two Nation folks approach her at CPAC and ask her to autograph a picture from the Internment she runs away.

In an interview for the Internment book she says she was inspired because "some Vets" agreed with her description (of Clinton giving several military vets of Asian heritage the Medal of Honor for actions that occurred in WW2 and Korea) as naked politicization. This was the culmination of the efforts of Senator Akaka to recognize the feats of minorities who may have been ignored because of the bias in those times. The medals were upgraded in many cases, which is not unusual.
She continues to refuse to answer for this yet uses the mantra "support the troops" to validate her opinion.

When she is caught on tape by some left winger cussing up a blue storm about the "ambushers", then agrees to have her pic taken with her new friend she horrified to discover he is not who he said. Unleashes the hotair folks and claims the guy is a dangerous stalker.

Through the hotair site very shrewdly targets the 20-30 something white male, conservative types as her main group. A periodic gratuitous shot of skin and frequent simpering in her videos blinds most of them to any objective thought in regards to Malkin. They proudly call themselves Malkinites and accuse anyone that criticizes her of being racists.

So for those of you who jump to defend her on every little thing and bemoan the evils of the MSM and the lack of objectivity in the news except for Fox, I'd recommend you have a little objectivity about Malkin's opinions.
