I am still awaiting an updated version of the old Spike Jones' tune as "Bin Laden's Face." Still nothing at YouTube. But I'm not holding my breath. Nor do I expect to see a whole lot of Bin Laden masks this Halloween. That anybody would feel that kind of thing would constitute a slur against Muslims IS a slur against Muslims. But I suppose that's too much circular reasoning for most people to understand. Easier to wear a Bush mask and get the cheap laugh. America's biggest enemy is our own lack of education.

America’s biggest enemy is our own lack of education.

I agree, but things haven’t really changed, except today to Hollywood and other leftist “elites” mainstream middle-class America is the “other.”

Hollyweird sneers down at the "rest of us", viewing the vast majority of this nation as being filled with people who are (at best) simpletons and idiots, or alternatively, a collection of narrow-minded bigots. We are regarded with contempt, and the steady stream of anti-American propaganda churned out by the Hollywood machine is ample evidence of that fact. BHG It really shouldn’t be a surprise.

My tastes run mostly to the opposite of what these effete self professed intellectuals adore. On a side note, the Taliban are inching their way to a takeover of Pakistan and the nukes in the country's possession. If that were to happen then the Islamists will have their bombs.
