The Archbishop of Canterbury made some comments about Sharia law of late. Does the name Chamberlain ring any bells? Anyone in the West who thinks they want any part of Sharia law should go live in Saudi Arabia a while. I did just that for five years. People like this Archbishop have no idea what they're talking about.
A friend gave me a good laugh when he sent me the following:
Liberalism has been called a mental disorder in some quarters. That label appears appropriate when one considers liberal thinking on several current issues:
* Large profits are obscenely un-American, except when it comes to George Soros, Oprah Winfrey, Hollywood stars, and other liberals.
* Driving without a license is illegal, thus illegal aliens should be licensed to avoid breaking the law.
* The earning power of the average American family is in serious decline, but the United States should grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens who will work for lower wages and no benefits, thereby driving wages into further decline.
* Killing the sale of port security to United Arab Emrates was necessary to protect home land security, but closing the borders with Mexico would unfairly scapegoat Hispanics.
* Bilingualism is essential in a tolerant, diverse society, except when it comes to requiring Hispanics to speak English. In that case, it becomes racism.
* Conservatives who work to preserve American culture and tradition are hate mongers. But immigrants from other nations/cultures must be encouraged to retain their ''cultural identity'' at all costs.
* Execution of a convicted killer is cruel, unusual, and barbaric, whereas a woman's right to abort the life of an innocent child is inalienable.
* Starving an innocent, helpless victim like Terri Schaivo to death is fine, whereas using lethal injection to end the life of a brutal killer is NOT okay.
* Invading a foreign nation is wrong, except when illegal immigrants from Mexico and other Latin nations invade America.
* Discrimination based on race or gender is wrong, except when waged against Caucasian men, in which case it is mandated by law and called Affirmative Action.
* Masculinity and all things male are the source of all evil, whereas feminism is liberating and spiritual in nature. Jesus was probably female, if truth be known.
* Freedom of speech must never be repressed, except when ''hurtful'' to any constituency of the Democrat Party.
* Tax cuts are wrong if it means returning money to the people who actually paid taxes, but perfectly fine when sent to those who paid none.
* Christmas, the Holy Bible, and other symbols of Christianity must be quashed so as to offend no one, whereas, Ramadan, the Koran, and symbols of Islam must be heavily promoted in the name of religious tolerance.
* Businesses are oppressive, fascist institutions that must not be allowed to grow too large. On the other hand, big government, when run by Democrats, creates wealth and happiness and is very desirable.
* Military force must never be used, except when absolutely needed to advance interests not vital to the United States, or to obscure a Democrat president's sexual misconduct in the Oval Office.
