A Wake-Up Call, Issues & Insights, IBD 7/26/2006, ricksantorum.com World War IV: Sen. Rick Santorum, R-Pa., enraged hard-line Muslims last week with a warning that was reminiscent of Winston Churchill's finest hour. "Islamic fascism is the great test of this generation," he said. In the 1930s, Churchill was a lonely voice against appeasement. Last week in a National Press Club speech, Rick Santorum issued a similar call to arms. The former head of an Allentown, Pa., mosque was so angry he wrote a column saying, "Don't ask Santorum to 'apologize,' folks. Vote Democratic." Here's what Santorum said: "We had no problem understanding that Nazism and fascism were evil racist empires — they were. We must now bring the same clarity to the war against Islamic fascism." He noted the widespread calls from major extremist Islamic leaders — both Sunni and Shiite — for "a new, global caliphate where Islamic fascism will rule mankind." If we understood the threat, he went on, "we would not be screaming and hollering about how our government is tracking terrorists' money, and monitoring their telephone conversations." He pointed to "a war against the war," with government officials and the media undermining the global war on terror. Iran's U.N. diplomats in New York have routinely been "found photographing subway stations and railroad bridges," Santorum noted. And Iran's ties with Venezuela and North Korea show "the ease with which Islamic fascists work with radical leftists . . . bound together by hatred for us." Nor does Santorum think Iran's nuclear program can be negotiated away: "You can't reason people out of something that they didn't arrive at reasonably in the first place." We wish everyone thought so clearly about Iran. Santorum recalls Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's recruitment of "thousands of Iranian children to march to their death by detonating mines in advance of Iranian troops during the Iran-Iraq War." Like us, Santorum thinks overthrowing Iran's odious regime might be the only solution, since "even a nuclear-free Iran would still be the driving force behind Islamic fascism." Santorum calls Iran "the keystone of the Islamic fascist structure." We're happy to hear Santorum call Iran exactly what it is. Sadly, too many Washington politicians — and not just Democrats — are hiding from the rather stark reality: This is a world war we're in. Santorum gets it. And if we ignore his reminder that Islamofascism is just as great a threat to our freedom and our civilization as the Nazis or the Soviets, we — and our children — will pay dearly. *********************************************** P.S. ALL Republicans need to help re-elect Sen Santorum. ricksantorum.com

poor ol broad just cannot pull it together, can she? Cindy Sheehan Moves to Crawford, Locals Not Amused KXXV ^ \| 07/28/2006 \| Crawford- Anti-War Activist Cindy Sheehan is going to become a neighbor of President Bush, and local residents are not happy about the mess. On the Gold Star Families For Peace website, Sheehan explained how Central Texas had grown on her. She now wants a permanent place where she and fellow protestors can go to demonstrate against President Bush. Peace Supporter, Gerry Fonseca, says he purchased the 5-acre parcel, which cost more than $52,000. It was bought with the money frome her son, Casey's, life insurance policy. "I doubt they would have sold her the property if she tried to buy it herself," said Foncseca. "I feel deceived," said Celia Ramsey, who sold the land to Cindy Sheehan through a third party. She talked to News Channel 25 exclusively on the matter. "I would have never sold it to Sheehan. Nobody wants them here." The Ramsey's claim Fonseca told them he was an evacuee from Hurricane Katrina. Fonseca told News Channel 25 he "apologized to the Ramsey's for the inconvenience, but we (Gold Star Families For Peace) are going to do everything in our power to not disturb them." Ramsey told News Channel 25, she plans on talking to a lawyer over the matter. "I am very sad it came to this point where we had to buy a permanent home," said Sheehan. "I thought President Bush would have resigned by now. But I am happy about a permanent home in Crawford." Anti-war protesters are scheduled to gather on the Sheehan property in August, when the president vacations in Crawford for the first couple of weeks next month. Last fall, McLennan County Commissioners passed an ordinance, banning parking on roadways and other traffic and crowd control measures. A lawsuit has been filed over the matter by Cindy Sheehan and fellow protestors, alleging the ruling by county commissioners violates their First Amendment rights.

Opportunism with a liberal face I think it's fair to say that Democrats as a party oppose President Bush's foreign policy -- so much so that they are willing to make purely opportunistic attacks on it that are wildly dissonant with the gist of their own critique of that foreign policy. They apparently think the public doesn't pay sufficient attention to note the dissonance. Insufficient attention is not a fault that can be attributed to Peter Beinart, who calls the approach "pander and run" in his Washington Post column this morning. A liberal Democrat who yearns for his party to adopt a respectable foreign policy, Beinart finds the Democrats' condemnation this week of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki too much to stomach. He finds that the condemnation fits with a Democratic line of attack on Bush administration foreign policy that he calls "jingoism with a liberal face." Watching the Democrats on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee perform the rites of opposition yesterday to the renomination of John Bolton to serve as America's ambassador to the United Nations is also dizzying, but with a difference. The Democrats on the committee apparently think that the Bush administration foreign policy requires a more effective advocate than Ambassador Bolton. They strongly question his ability to effectuate American foreign policy at the United Nations. It is a critique that does not quite square with the theme of "jingoism with a liberal face" that Beinart deduces from other Democratic criticisms. It is more like "incoherence with a liberal face," or "opportunism with a liberal face." In this morning's Washington Times, Alan Dershowitz places Ambassador Bolton in the line of the great American ambassadors to the United Nations: "A public advocate for the United States." Like Beinart, Dershowitz is a liberal Democrat. Like Beinart, he must bristle at the incoherence and opportunism of the Democratic enemies of John Bolton. UPDATE: At Gateway Pundit, Jim Hoft provides a striking example of the Democrats' pitiful performance in the hearing yesterday: Kerry: Why not engage in a bilateral [rather than multilteral negotiations with North Korea] and get the job done? That's what the Clinton administration did. Bolton: Very poorly, since the North Koreans violated the agreed framework almost from the time it was signed.
