Don't Drink The Cool-Aid

An oasis for rational, clear-minded, free-thinkers amidst the barren desert of irrational, mind-numbing, propaganda. So, wrap a wet towel around your head, take a deep breath, chill out, and try thinking for yourself for a change. And always remember, when the time comes, "Don't Drink the Cool-Aid." - Johnny Utah

WorldNetDaily: Kwanzaa: Holiday from the FBI

'Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven "principles" of Kwanzaa praise collectivism in every possible arena of life – economics, work, personality, even litter removal.
Coincidentally, the seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army. . .'

Hitler's Mideast helpers - Los Angeles Times

'POINTLESS though it may be to argue with a madman, it is worth noting that Muslims were not as blameless in the genocide of the Jews as Ahmadinejad and his ilk would have it. Arabs were, on a small scale, cheerleaders and enablers of the Final Solution. The most famous example was Haj Amin Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem (and uncle of Yasser Arafat), who took refuge in Berlin in World War II. A rabid Nazi, he personally lobbied Hitler to kill as many Jews as possible and even helped out by recruiting Bosnian Muslims to serve in the Waffen SS.

'Robert Satloff, one of the world's smartest Arabists, reveals other links between the Arabs and the Holocaust in his groundbreaking new book, "Among the Righteous: Lost Stories from the Holocaust's Long Reach Into Arab Lands." He shows how the Nazis set up the machinery of death in North Africa. Although "only" 4,000 to 5,000 Jews died before the Allies liberated the area in 1943, many more were consigned to forced labor camps in hellish conditions.

"Arabs played a role at every level," Satloff wrote. "Some went door to door with the Germans, pointing out Jews for arrest. Others led Jewish workers on forced marches or served as overseers at labor camps."
