The SWAC Defenders Of Freedom And Goode

By Thomas Krehbiel

I'm continuing to monitor communications from the SWAC bloggers, because it's fun, and, you know, Waldo censored them, so there's no possible way for you guys to see their blogs anymore. Anyway, it's pretty informative stuff. Pat Robertson revealed that God will allow a major terrorist attack on a U.S. city later this year--what revelations will come from the SWAC Pack?

Koran was formerly owned by Jefferson. To defend Rep. Goode, SWAC Girl wonders if Thomas Jefferson's Koran was actually forced on Keith Ellison by hateful liberal activists from the Library of Congress. Also, it is revealed that Thomas Jefferson is actually dead and no longer owns a Koran of any kind. All of which is irrelevant to Virgil Goode's central point of whether or not halting Muslim immigration would, in fact, stop terrorism.

Apologize for slavery? Why should we apologize to slaves and native Americans and not Irish immigrants? Rightward-leaning bloggers thoughtfully debate in SWAC Girl's comment section. The answer is rather obvious to this writer: Slavery was state-sanctioned kidnapping, and native Americans were conquered by force, whereas Irish immigrants came to America for a better life.

Muslim terrorism attacks 1961-2001. Also included are some non-Muslim terrorist attacks from FARC. Not included are terrorist attacks from such groups as domestic terrorists and Chechen separatists, or any of the many terrorist attacks that occurred before 1961 and after 2001.

Islam: What the West Needs to Know. Mr. Maxfield executes a perfect intellectual property heist by cutting and pasting the description of Gregory M. Davis's documentary and book directly into his blog without accreditation. Again, this writer finds it easy to dismiss the ideologies discussed as those of a small group of extremists, but perhaps Mr. Davis's followup documentary will help clear things up for Mr. Maxfield: Christianity: Does Every Christian Interpret The Bible Exactly The Same Way?

Game, Set, Match: Muslim War against the West. Wherein we learn that Thomas Jefferson owned a Koran not because of the widely held opinion of historical scholars that he studied different religions out of intellectual curiosity, but because, according to the equally reputable SpankThatDonkey, President Jefferson was just following the Sun Tzu art of "knowing his enemy" during the Barbary Wars. Oh, and apparently terrorists play tennis, too.

Goode is Right: Let's not be like fwance! Spank illustrates that the mainstream media covers up news of Muslim uprisings by... wait for it... linking to a mainstream media report about a Muslim uprising! Except the report actually doesn't mention anything about Muslims. Spank just assumes that vandalism in French "troubled suburbs" is the work of Radical Islamofascists, and such vandalism will inevitably strike the United States unless we listen to Rep. Virgil Goode. No word yet on how exactly "limiting" immigration will stop Islamofascism (considering that all the 9/11 hijackers were legal immigrants), or how many God-fearing, red-blooded Americans were involved in violent incidents on New Year's Eve.
