Snapped Shot

Why can't we have politicians like this in America?

Geert Wilders speaks out about the repercussions of his film, "Fitna" and how they may affect the freedoms in the West. Read the entire speech HERE. An excerpt:

I come to the conclusion that there is a lack of leadership in the free West. Leadership to defend our freedom on behalf of us and our children. The political elites governing Western countries are themselves governed by fear. Fear of facing the truth. Fear of letting go the still prevalent ideology of cultural relativism. Fear of fighting for freedom of speech, particularly when the message expresses an inconvenient truth or is delivered by somebody with a critical or satirical view of Islam. Our freedom is being bargained away.

The ruling elite is afraid of losing the growing support of Islamic voters, afraid of the economic consequences of an anti-Islamisation policy, afraid of being less popular with the other dhimmi government leaders in the European Council. But we all know that fear is a bad counsellor. Rather than preserving our freedom, fear and political correctness will in the long term cost us our hard-won freedom.

After 138 days in prison without a charge, blogger Fouad Alfarhan has been freed. From Saudi Jeans blog:

I woke up around 5:30 this morning on the beeping of my iPhone which received a short message from the wife of my friend and fellow blogger Fouad al-Farhan telling me that Fouad has been released and that he is back home with his family now. That’s great news and this is just how I wanted to start my morning!

See Michelle's reader contributions over here, if you haven't already.

Michelle Malkin is calling for everyone to fire up Photoshop yet again. This time, we're instructed to come up with our best parodies of an undying idol of the Left, Chairman Mao. As you'll recall from last week, we just found out that his portraits were fakes, so it's not like he'd mind the mockery, right?

I'll be posting mine shortly. Stay tuned, and feel free to share yours down in Ye Comments section, as always!

Update: from Mr. Michael over at the Lightning Round, a vision of Mao, as inspired by Andy Warhol:

During my "scholarly" pursuits at a local university, I have increasingly become aware of a new phenomenon: Campus counter-activism. Every time I run across an example of it, my heart has been warmed, and a smile comes to my face. Now, with the advent of technology (or a dearth of laziness on my part), I hope to share some of these delightful instances with you, the reader, to illustrate that there quite possibly could be hope for the future generation.

Here's my first installment in what I hope will be a long-running series. (It depends on how active the "campus counter-activists" are, of course.) Last Monday, I ran across a "Campus PRIDE" (homosexual advocacy event, to the uninitiated) advertisement chalked on the sidewalk. "Grumble," I thought. Yet, on Wednesday, when I saw the ad again, I noticed that a counter-activist (evil conservative!) scrawled their own reply to the message.


I think the Male-Female-Male symbol underneath was also a subtle crack at the PRIDE movement, but who knows for sure.
