re: #3 brookly red

Wow, mixed with anti illegal fever & a poor economy, the perfect storm so to speak. It seems odd though that it is happening now and not directly after 9/11… I question the timing.

I think there are a couple of factors. The American “conservatives” and the Eurofascists took a while to start cooperating. The Eurofascists needed some time to adapt/hide their rhetoric about Jews and Israel and the American “conservatives” needed some time to adjust to the European anti-freedom talking points about Islam being an ideology that should be outlawed instead of a religion with Constitutional protection. The rise of the libertarian nuts like Beck and the Tea Parties helped out too with historical revisionism and anti-constitutional ideas presented as “patriotic”. This wasn’t possible a few years ago.

This is why the counterjihad movement just doesn’t have much public support anymore. It was a short lived fad like that went away with the neocons.
