As a Roman Catholic and a capitalist myself, I have a natural tendency to identify with her. And although I do not share her disdain for Islam in general, as I respect almost everyone who acknowledges and worships God (and most of those who do not, as long as they are tolerant of those of us who are religious believers), I admire her spirit in declining to turn the other cheek

The author (Conrad Black) identifies as a Catholic and then admires someone for not turning the other cheek.

LOL...I guess Connie has no clue what that parable's meaning of "turning the other cheek" is and apparently nobody else on here does either.

What bombers? The drones recently launched to keep an eye on the 8 million home-grown, apple pie eating Americans on the terrorist watch list?

Wow. That is one terrified woman.

Maybe she'd feel better if someone clued her up to the truth that she's vastly more likely to be raped, tortured, murdered by a Gawd-fearin' white Murkan Christian than by any Muslim.


Nope, that's a woman with an exceptionally huge set of cojones........

Terrified people don't give those that threaten them directions.

I love it.

Free speech, self-defense and defiance of Islamo-fascism.

What is not to love???

There is no link between Judaism and Christianity.

WTF does Bush have to do with SFA?

Riggghhhhttttt......

Jesus Christ was a Rastafarian.

Yep. Facts are racist.

You're an idiot.

Just thought you should know.

Hey, do you know what "turn the other cheek" means? Going by that reference of "not turning the other cheek" in the OP, she'd be labeled a coward, wouldn't she?

What do you think it means?

You don't know do you?

If you don't understand your own Religion's meanings of the texts, how the Hell can you possibly understand somebody else's Religion?

seems to me that we have had a couple of posters on here that have done the exact same thing she has done. Big difference, they were not elevated to god hood like she has been.

Too funny. CanCon's newest "victim" trying to spin.

Victim? Poor child.

The funniest part is that you consider any realistic view of history to be victimhood. I challenge you to come up with a single instance of me supporting any kind of "compensation" for anybody.

I'll say this in real short words, in the hope you can get your butt-hurt little brain around it. I recognize. . . er. . . understand. . . er. . . know the history of race, sex, class, and so forth in America. And it sucks. And the solution is to grant and impose full legal equality, and nothing else.

Clear yet, gyrene? Can you wrap your tiny little (alleged) mind around that, asswit?

Often misinterpreted.

Turning the other cheek does not mean submit to slaughter.

It doesn't? I invite you to post the verse where Jesus tells his followers to engage in pointless foreign wars.

By turning the other cheek you've shown the best shot they can give with a right was pointless and you let them try again with their weaker left hand to show your strength and that they can't piss you off enough to strike back.

I'll trust you on that, because I could never make heads nor tails of it when they were forcing it down our throats at the Indian school. All I could see was that the "love" they talked about seemed a lot like hate to me.

Actually I do enjoy it now that I know what is really behind it all.

There are plenty of roads to the same destination.

Some people walk and take their time, others speed, some get lost while the majority drive drunk.

There are more drunks than any other travellers.
