Oh, to be in England

Dr. Pipes,

Truly a disturbing reminder of the arrogance and stupidity of the Socialist mindset.

An often used metaphor, "The Frog in the Kettle," could not fit any better.

Would someone please regurgitate again, "Islam is a religion of peace?"

Of particular interest is a recent column in the City Journal, by Dr. Theodore Dalrymple, "Oh, To Be In England, IT'S THIS BAD." The opening paragraph; "Returning briefly to England from France for a speaking engagement. I bought three of the major dailies to catch up on the latest developments in my native land. The impression they gave was of a country in the grip of a thoroughgoing moral frivolity. In a strange inversion of proper priorities, important matters are taken lightly and trivial ones taken seriously."
