Like Hitler, they believe that French philosophers laid the groundwork for the ideas and those were put into practice by the French trade unions--at huge personal cost. Since WWII, the Sorbonne has come up with individual programs for tailoring Socialism to get a foothold in countries with specific religious histories--e.g., Latin America and Muslim countries. Those make use of infiltrators in local religious organizations, effectively making the status quo work for them.<br />If you carefully examine the backgrounds of all the problem groups/individuals in the Middle East and Latin America, you can find links back to the Sorbonne. Do you think the Ayatollah Khomeini and more specifically the "worker bees" that made the Iranian Revolution happen sprung up in isolation? The Ayatollah was basically a figurehead being uneducable by the time he went to the Sorbonne, but there had already been multiple generations true believers moving throughout the Middle East (Egypt, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Libya) laying the groundwork. Did you ever wonder why the rhetoric of the Islamic fundamentalists sounds so familiar and so in tune with the Left?<br /><br />The point is that it always been about the destruction of the United States and Capitalism, building enemies on many flanks--too many to address.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277966379512526469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491397194259005985.post-70129065105252176622010-08-20T09:03:19.585-07:002010-08-20T09:03:19.585-07:00"Habsburg Austria was a competitor, but Ameri...<i>"Habsburg Austria was a competitor, but America is an obsession.

But it does not explain the simple greed of working financial deals with Iraq that put the Middle East and Europe at risk. Are they still at it with Iran and Syria, while continuing to claim a moral superiority over those that would challenge the threats to an uneasy Middle East peace? <br /><br />Undoubtedly.James Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06715293983358801138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491397194259005985.post-33210620862869728462010-08-19T20:24:11.861-07:002010-08-19T20:24:11.861-07:00I think this essay by 'Spengler' goes far ...I think this essay by 'Spengler' goes far to explaining France for the past four centuries: <a href="http://www.atimes.com/atimes/Front_Page/EB11Aa01.html" rel="nofollow">The sacred heart of darkness</a>Ilíonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339406092961816142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491397194259005985.post-37291295604844466072010-08-19T16:32:11.377-07:002010-08-19T16:32:11.377-07:00Right on the money, Darrell.Right on the money, Darrell.James Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06715293983358801138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491397194259005985.post-56262585472776719332010-08-19T14:59:53.946-07:002010-08-19T14:59:53.946-07:00I remember reading her columns and agreeing with h...I remember reading her columns and agreeing with her most times from the 1980s on. She seemed to make a complete transformation in her way of thinking when she joined the Washington Post. Such changes are rare outside of head injuries or intentional deception in the first place (Arianna Huffington).<br /><br />Her argument makes as much sense as the French's rationale for their behavior post WWII--In order to show their independence from the United States they had to oppose everything the US supported, even when it was a common-sense "slam dunk." Funny how the Left has gone from the proponent of "freedom <i>from</i> religion" to the greatest supporter of religious freedom when it comes to Islam. While still tearing down crosses honoring fallen highway patrol officers along the highways and crosses on private land that can be seen for miles. I guess that's why God created two sides to mouthes. The Left supports Islam because Islam openly seeks the destruction of the United States and Capitalism.<br />Time to stop beating around the bush.<br /><br />Now that Obama is championing the Constitution maybe he can apply the same enthusiasm toward the complete document--the Second Amendment comes to mind. And the right of citizens to speak out against things they find unacceptable.Darrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277966379512526469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8491397194259005985.post-50647784011046687182010-08-19T04:21:46.848-07:002010-08-19T04:21:46.848-07:00I don't think I'd exactly consider Kathlee...I don't think I'd exactly consider Kathleen Parker to be a conservative. <br /><br />When I moved to this town, twenty-five years ago or more, her column was callied in the local paper; and over the years I watched her move rightward ... it seemed to be in large part because she doesn't hate men and, being the mother of young men, she didn't want the culture in which they were growing up to be anti-masculinity.Ilíonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15339406092961816142noreply@blogger.com
