In the current war on Islamofascism, no platitude is nearly as ridiculous as the constant harangue that "if we do X, then the terrorists have won." X can be virtually anything. If you're a conservative, the terrorists have won if we don't fine CBS for showing Janet Jackson's boob during the Super Bowl. If you're a liberal, the terrorists have won if we don't enshrine partial-birth abortion and homosexual marriage in the pantheon of vital American liberties. If you're a libertarian, the terrorists have won if we continue to prosecute pot smokers or pass a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning. If you're Ralph Nader, the terrorists have won if we continue to not vote for you. It is breathtaking to learn just how wide-ranging the Islamofascist agenda is: The terrorists have won if the Transportation Security Administration begins searching luggage for toothpaste, said William F. Buckley. If we ethnically profile travelers, the terrorists will have won, warned former Secretary of Transportation Norman Mineta. The ratification of the Patriot Act means that the terrorists have already won, explained Howard Dean. If the October 2001 Academy Awards did not go forward as planned, the terrorists would have won, averred Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences then-President Frank Pierson. If Congress tightens the border between the United States and Canada, the terrorists will have won, stated Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. If Samuel Alito is appointed to the Supreme Court, the terrorists will win, implied Senator Pat Leahy (D-VT). If we stop going to the ballgame or hanging out or going downtown for dinner, the terrorists win, said Juan Williams of NPR. If Margaret Cho can't be as horrible and offensive as humanly possible, the terrorists will have won, stated Margaret Cho. Apparently, Islamofascist terrorists have been praying ardently for the day Americans could no longer pack their Crest Tartar Protection; terrorists pop the cork each time a potential Muslim terrorist is profiled at the airport; terrorists wear little party hats and do the Macarena when their phone calls are monitored; terrorists shout "Allahu Akhbar" when Hollywood celebrities cannot fete each other; terrorists applaud thunderously when Canadians can no longer drive across the American border without their passports; terrorists squeal with glee when a Ruth Bader Ginsburg clone joins the federal bench; and terrorists are hockey and Margaret Cho fans. This is all very, very stupid. Terrorists are quite clear about what they consider victory: conversion of all non-believers to Islam and the subjection of the entire world to sharia law. When Palestinian Arab Islamofascists kidnapped Fox News journalists Steve Centanni and Olaf Wiig, they did not ask them to cancel the Oscars, stump for the Supreme Court appointment of Richard Paez or get them tickets to the Laugh Factory. They forced them to convert to Islam at gunpoint. This is what Islamofascists do. They aren't shy about their goals. Whatever stops them from achieving those goals is what prevents terrorists from winning. Ethnic profiling helps stop terrorists. Monitoring terrorist phone calls helps stop terrorists. Terrorists aren't all that concerned about gay marriage; they don't win if we pass a Constitutional amendment preventing it. What about the oft-made argument that if terrorists affect our freedoms, then they have won? Pure sophistry. If our enemies affect our freedoms, they affect our freedoms. We may not like our freedoms being affected. Nonetheless, that has no impact on whether the "terrorists have won." Our enemies do not care whether we allow Robert Mapplethorpe to peddle his tripe on the public dime. They hate us either way. Only if affecting our freedoms allows our enemies to achieve their actual goals have our enemies won. During WWII, they affected our consumption patterns and civil liberties. We won. During the Vietnam War, they made our counterculture into our mainstream culture. We lost. If the terrorists achieve global sharia, then they will have won. If they erect a mosque on the ruins of the World Trade Center, then they will have won. They will not stop until they achieve their goals. We must not stop until we have shattered their dreams forever.

America's problem has always been listening to nutjob Jews telling us who our friends and and enemies are. It's done America no good and has harmed us immeasurably.

I'm more "terrified" of this gov than I am of any goat-herder in the ME.
Lets see if I can recall even more Neoconish phrases, aka meanless soundbytes: Won't cut and run Support the troops You're a great American Mission Accomplished Doing the jobs Americans don't won't do Liberal Leftist America-haters Axis of Evil Evildoers New World Order Comprehensive Immigration Bill Protect the citizens of the United States (sigh) Politics has been reduced to 3 second sound bytes, without further description or clarification, that simply get repeated over and over and over again. Gives ya a warm, fuzzy feeling the Feds and bots really know what they are doin', doesn't it? /sarc

Osama and company are scapegoats. The person who was part of the criminal enterprise that destroyed the World Trade Center pranced around bullhorn in hand pretending he had nothing to do with the death and destruction. 9-11 was an inside job. His father George Herbert Walker Bush helped murder John F. Kennedy, his grandfather Prescott was a Nazi groupie and profited from his association with those he admired and emulated. We have lost the battle with Smirk having run of the scene of one of his crimes, but in the end, we will win the war. The truth moment is not only never going away, we will see the Bushes and Cheneys of the world get the place in the history book they deserve, as criminals, racketeers and murderers.

The dictatorship has their list and I have mine..
That's funny...all of my removed Freedoms have been whisked away by none other than TheStateInc of CorporoFascist AmEriKa, not some diaper wearing guy in a cave. That means our real enemy, the corporofascist political WHORES in DC, has won indeed.
The battle has moved to inside America. I tell you, freedom and human rights in America are doomed. The U.S. Government will lead the American people, and the West in general, into an unbearable hell and choking life. - Osama bin Laden (BBC taped interview after 9-11)

Shapiro is a violin-playing virgin and a coward. Here's my take on the balless wonder: "Benjamin Franklin was shown the new American constitution, and he said, 'I don't like it, but I will vote for it because we need something right now. But this constitution in time will fail, as all such efforts do. And it will fail because of the corruption of the people, in a general sense.' And that is what it has come to now, exactly as Franklin predicted." -- Gore Vidal
Obviously "the terrorists" have won. What could be plainer? Every time the Wee Emperor starts chittering about "freedom," I lose another piece of mine. I don't have that many pieces left, either -- and George the Slow chitters early and often. If Osama really does hate our freedoms (but I'm pretty sure he really doesn't give a rat's ass, one way or the other, about our mostly-imaginary "freedoms"), then he's winning every day ... thanks to his most important allies: Bush the Stupid, and the American sheeple who support or tolerate the squinting, smirking, truculent pinhead. I'm serious here, folks: I'm a Christian, and I think hatred's a bad idea. As intensely and passionately as I find myself hating Bush and all his crew, it's clear that Bush is very, very bad for the state of my "inner man." Bush is rotting my soul. Bush gots to go.
- - - - - - - - - - - Mr. Ferret Mike, I wish I had adequate words to tell you just how completely cool that rebus signature image of yours is. You da man.
- - - - - - - - - - - Imperial Hubris talks about Bin Laden's goals. Seems there are two primary goals, get the US out of Saudi Arabia and bring down the American Republic. Bush gave Bin Laden his first victory shortly before Bush put on his bunny suit and danced around on the deck of the carrier. Bush quietly ducked his tail between his legs and pulled the troops out of Saudi Arabia per Bin Laden's demand. As long as Bin Laden can keep Bush and the Neo-cons in power his goal of the destruction of the American Republic proceeds on schedule. Note how Bin Laden shows up with a tape prior to every election to give Bush a little boost in the polls. When Bush has finished isolating the US in the world and taking our last Constitutional freedoms, Bin Laden will be victorious. He will probably then cease aiding Bush. I am sure that aiding Bush makes Bin Laden feel dirty.

honestly, this is upsetting, don't click on it if you've any feelings whatsoever.

I don't agree with everything Pat Buchanan writes, but I do know he is an honorable man. Shapiro is neither honorable, nor a man. What he is, then? He's...wait a minute...what's that sound I hear? Oh, yeah, there it is: "Buk, buk, buk." That's the squawk of the Chickenhawk, that species that will not fight under any circumstances but instead stands on the sidelines yelling, "Throw the ball there. Okay, now throw it over here." laughing...this is one of your most amusing commentaries, YT.

Only if affecting our freedoms allows our enemies to achieve their actual goals have our enemies won.

know that's a hard task, what with the genetically determined wimpification and all, but Benjie does give it the old kindergarten try. Recently he's tried to get the glands to chug out the manly hormones by attacking Pat Buchanan in an execrable column he wrote at the even more execrable WorldNetDaily, a site that used to be pretty good, until publisher Joseph Farah looked down one day and noticed his pair had shriveled up on him, too.
