Enough with the pseudonyms. Western civilization isnt at war with terrorism any more than it is at war with grenades. Western civilization is at war with militant Islam, which dominates Muslim communities all over the world. Militant Islam isnt a tiny minority of otherwise goodhearted Muslims. Its a dominant strain of evil that runs rampant in a population of well over 1 billion.

Enough with the psychoanalysis. They dont hate us because of Israel. They dont hate us because of Kashmir. They dont hate us because we have troops in Saudi Arabia or because we deposed Saddam Hussein. They dont hate us because of Britney Spears. They hate us because we are infidels, and because we dont plan on surrendering or providing them material aid in their war of aggressive expansion.

Please include Wafa Sultan's name as US anti-Dhimmi because of her many articles that has convinced us that Islam is the worst threat facing humankind, far worse than Nazism, Fascism or Communism. This takes nothing away from other illustrious nominees.

It's amazing how static the numbers have remained...even as the vote totals grow.

Carter's lead has shrunk a couple of points, and Wilders' has expanded 2 or 3, but that's about it, (though I didn't vote for him, he deserved to win, based on 'Fithah' alone.

I knew Jimmy was going to pull off the hat trick. He's the only winner I picked. My choice came in second in all three other categories.

It was a grand campaign.

That was 'Fitnah' of course.

Slightly off-topic but very relevant to this voting process…

Today we have news (something we all knew already) that Bill Clinton has gotten a boat load of cash from the Arabians (and other gulf states) for his foundation. I am sure we can add Hillary Clinton as being influenced by the Arabians if her husband has been so well rewarded.

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/12/18/clinton.donations/index.html

This got me thinking, a over the past 32 years we have had 5 presidents, of which four were outright in love with the Arabians, and one (Reagan) might as well have been due to our support of jihad against the Soviets in Afghanistan, in which the support was funneled through several Arabian states and Pakistan. This has had a major impact on the west in ways that we are just beginning to understand. You could make an augment that it goes back further to Roosevelt, but it appears that around the time of the Carter administration, our support for them increased in multiples over the years. This does not take into account all the various advisers, congressmen, political leaders in both parties who are on the take. We have a culture in Washington of appeasement to the Arabians for over 32 plus years. Republican and Democrat administrations have come and gone, but the policy has remained. We have a total system wide failure to comprehend a major threat to our civilization.

The greatest danger to western civilization is the United States support of the various gulf states. I don’t care about the Russian flirting with the Iranians, and I don’t care what the Chinese are selling to various Islamic parties, because the most powerful state in the world supports the greatest jihadist state on earth. Until that changes, and we Americans make the break from our Arabian masters, we will keep losing this war. We must make the acceptance of funds (in truth bribes) from the Arabians so unacceptable, that no true patriot would take such funds for their library, foundation, or company for fear of being called a traitor, which in truth they are. The flag of Islam is already waving over the White House…we just don’t realize it yet.

greatcometof1577,
Read this article on how Clinton betrayed our children. Bush wasn't any better.

All the candidates are good, but why isn't Stephen Coughlin doing better?
