Wake-Up Call for America #3,589,274 (This Month)

Overheard today on the Michael Medved show: The author of the literary epic Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs, babbling that somehow the refusal by a few Somali immigrant taxi drivers in Minneapolis-St.Paul to transport passengers w/ alcohol or guide dogs is step one in the imposition of Sharia Law in the United Snakes. How this will happen is less than clear, but the usual suspects are responsible:
Not with guns and bombs, but via covert sources: Islamic charities, the ACLU--even presidential candidates. They are all pawns in a stealth holy war. Unwittingly advancing the jihadist agenda not by violence, but through endeavors designed to acclimate and subject us to Islamic law--just the way Osama bin Laden wants it. [...] America, Spencer demonstrates, is all but oblivious to a new kind of threat presented by a loosely organized movement whose activists are well funded, highly motivated, and relentless in pursuit of their agenda. This book is a wake-up call for a country so focused on foreign threats that it has left itself vulnerable to a growing danger much closer to home.
Hokey Fuckin' Smokes! Get our broker on the horn & tell her to put all our liquid funds in whoever the hell makes diapers for grown-ups. Once this book is out, Depends will be flying off the shelves! Conspicuously absent from any discussion or mention during the broadcast (the part we heard, at least) were such manifestations of American Xianity as pharmacists refusing birth-control & "morning after" birth control. Also conspicuous by its absence was any mention of the various propositions, initiatives, etc. designed to impose a religious definition of "traditional marriage" on our legal system, & take rights from groups of American citizens. We can add Roman Catholic bishops advising their flocks not to come to communion or any of the other mystical ceremonies of Catholicism if any of their sheep dared vote for now Prez-elect Obama. Now let's compare. Taxi drivers voluntarily pass on fares, for silly reasons, costing themselves money & costing the fares as much as three or four minutes getting a more welcoming hack. This is dangerous & will have all "our" hot-pantsed women in burqas w/in X wks. of B. O.'s inauguration. Versus a pharmacist possibly placing a life in danger due to superstitious beliefs. Or a bishop essentially damning congregants to hell for their votes. What kind of psychological damage might that do to someone already unhinged enough to be heavily invested in religious superstition? Not worth a mention from Messrs. Medved & Spencer.
