Eamonn Fitzgerald's Rainy Day

Lance Armstrong - fair enough
The children of Beslan - I also nominate the women and children of Fallufa slaughtered by Bush's war machine - what have they done to deserve this?
Tony Blair - the poor Brits cringe at their PM being Dubya's poodle, who gets nothing in return, sadly his opponent would be just the same - so the Brits have no choice anyway
George W. Bush - need we say more? Jayzus, Eamonn you've really crawled up the Yanks' ass here with all this arselicking. I suppose the over 1,200 US soldiers and nearly 100,000 Iraqi dead will too be clammering to mominate Dubya in Eamonn's internationally acclaimed Person of the Year.
Carly Fiorina - she's making millions. She won't need an award.
Margaret Hassan - she certainly didn't support Eamonn's beloved war so I know she wouldn't even turn up for Eamonn's Person of the Year ceremonies. If she were alive to do so.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin - think they're making too much money to care either.
Condoleezza Rice - Prior to 9/11, Rice advocated cutting anti-terrorism spending and concentrating on anti-missile defence. She played a key role in misleading Americans into believing Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and Saddam posed a dire threat. She urged Bush to invade Iraq and plunge deeper into Afghanistan. Her ludicrous claims about Iraqi "mushroom clouds" panicked many Americans. For this alone she should have been dismissed. The image of Condi Rice and George Bush sitting at the White House piano singing Onward Christian Soldiers is unsettling Europe, which thought Bush II might restore America to its traditional multilateral foreign policy. Even Bush's faithful British retainer, Tony Blair, is looking increasingly unhappy.

I can see Eamonn's favourite little fan, andrew2, frothing at the mouth already.

I'd like to nominate a man with guts, Joschka Fischer, for standing up to filth of the Bush administration like Rumsfeld. No, we're still not convinced. So Eamonn, andrew2, enjoy your wars. If that's what turns you on. But for the rest of us, it's stomach-turning.

As for Bush winning? I don't think so. But he probably owes Mr O'Dell at Diebold a drink for helping him out. Read http://www.fromthewilderness.com/free/ww3/110804_stolen_election.shtml

Hitler himself wrote: "The victor will not be asked, later on, whether he told the truth or not. In starting and waging a war, it is not right that matters, but victory. Have no pity."

Poor America... I wonder why Eamonn's not living there in the first place! Hmm.

I would like to take a moment to wipe the "froth" from my jowls and compose myself here. After reading Ted's funny tirade I am no longer repelled by him, but I see that he firmly believes what he says and he has the right to his opinion.

I must say that out of all the choices presented, I think *Theo Van Gogh (R.I.P.)* perfectly sums up what I think we in the West are facing.

His assassination at the hands of European based Islamist's perfectly illustrates how our freedoms and liberties, which we take for granted, are in undeniable jeopardy.

Margaret Hassan and the Children of Beslan are also victims of the Islamist war, sacrificed on the alter of jihad in distant lands, innocent women and children "Infidels" who were shown what Islamist notions of mercy and compassion are really all about.

But for such a depraved, ritualistic slaughter to happen in Europe, in the heart of one of the most tolerant and permissive liberal societies in the Western world, should give us pause and shake us to our senses.

Every aspect of what is at stake here was illustrated by that heinous act.

1) There is a growing parallel society which refuses our Western civilizational structure and prefers instead, to establish Islamic hegemony or Shari’a in Europe.

2) Islam is beyond normal criticism and evaluation because to do so invites death threats and murder at the nearest opportunity. Islam is conditioning us to be permissive, (Dhimmitude) to our own extinction.

3) Free speech, is forbidden by "hate speech" laws when honestly addressing issues of Islamic incompatibility with Western societies in large numbers _or_ when offence by Muslims is taken, in which case Shari’a law gives them the authority to kill you.

Other Islamic cultural norms such as female circumcision and amputations under Shari’a law for offences as well as polygamy is on the rise in Europe.

4) Islamic immigration has transformed Western Europe into a growing Arab/Islamic entity (Eurabia)from Scandinavia to London to Berlin to the Netherlands to France and the politicians in Brussels are lying to you by saying there is no problem, just don't discriminate against racists and we will all get along fine.

*THAT IS A LIE.* Which will prove to end in disaster for Europe as surely as dhimmis Ted and Sylvia will blab a rebuttal branding me a bigot.

That is why Theo Van Gogh, great, great grandson of the great artist is my choice for man of the year.

For all of his decadence and extreme liberalism, he still had enough belief in Dutch culture and society to defend it by pointing out the great pink elephant in the room nobody wants to acknowledge, immigration and multiculturalism, which is destroying European identity by the importation of millions of Muslims onto European soil.

For that he paid with his life.

It is time for Europe to decisively act as time runs short to avert the impending doom it faces. Either Europe will become Islamic within a century or their will be a savage xenophobic movement in reaction to it.

Dutch taxi driver who drove Theo Van Gogh, emotionally expresses what the Dutch are really feeling, frustration and hopelessness:

The Culture War Comes to Holland

George W Bush - Whatever about the other, his continued significance is undeniable. The buck stops there.

Hugh Fitzgeralds highly interesting comments on Germany/Europe's future:

"Ah, yes, the "bridge between Islam and the West" --"a crowd flowed over London Bridge, so many..."

If you build a bridge, will they cross it? And how! Turks, and Kurds, and many many Arabs -- hard for those Westerners to tell them apart, what with all those funny names and scripts. Turkey as a permanent bridge to the E.U. And once there, Turks as members of the E.U. will be free to move about as they wish, to settle down anywhere they wish in the E.U., to build their mosques, their madrasas. Even in countries which, unlike France and unlike Germany, never admitted large numbers of Muslims out of a greedy desire to find cheap labor, and heedless of whether, in the end, what came undeclared, or misunderstood, in the mental baggage of these millions of migrants, would cost the indigenous non-Muslims much, much more. And now France, and Germany, or at least some of the fossilized figures who remain in power, and who cannot admit, to their own people, much less to themselves, that the entire large-scale Muslim migration was a disaster..."
