Pat Buchannan: "(Anders) Breivik may be right"
Edited on Tue Jul-26-11 08:02 PM by Ruby the Liberal
Offering his take on the horrendous terrorist attacks in Norway, Buchanan joined the Wall Street Journal and the Jerusalem Post in arguing that the far-right extremist perpetrator Anders Breivik may have had a valid point.

...But, awful as this atrocity was, native-born and homegrown terrorism is not the macro-threat to the continent.
That threat comes from a burgeoning Muslim presence in a Europe that has never known mass immigration, its failure to assimilate, its growing alienation, and its sometime sympathy for Islamic militants and terrorists.


-snip-

As for a climactic conflict between a once-Christian West and an Islamic world that is growing in numbers and advancing inexorably into Europe for the third time in 14 centuries, on this one, Breivik may be right.

No words.

7. Now, if I happened to be drinking some orange juice at this very moment...
...I would have snorted it out of my nose while howling in both laughter and extreme pain. It would probably be one of the most memorable moments in my life.

That said, it's a good thing I wasn't drinking anything!

:rofl:

12. Well, YOU may not like Buchanan's remarks ...
But they probably sounded better in their original German.

4. Is Pat making excuses for butchers again?
I have words: hound any network official who green-lights putting him on the air ever again.

15. Yep, Buchanan is right - you win religious wars by slaughtering irrelevant innocents
Whoever kills the most people without harming their opponent's organization "wins".
