Are Bush defenders willing and able to defend our country?

An e-mail I sent to the “all pro-Bush, all the time” website Powerline in December 2005:

Re the Schneider article on the disturbing growth of entire unassimilated Muslim districts in Berlin, you wrote:

> Charles comments: “And US mainstream media could not have cared less.”

Your comment implies that only liberal media have been failing to cover the Islamization of Europe. As though conservative media did not also ignore it for year after year. As though President Bush were not at this very moment actively pushing Europe to admit 60 million Turks into Europe.

When I was working on my booklet, The Path to National Suicide: An Essay on Immigration and Multiculturalism, in 1989 and 1990, I initially blamed only liberals for what was happening. Then an immigration restrictionist liberal named Ed Levy to whom I gave the manuscript for his feedback pointed out to me that this was incorrect, since conservatives were as much a part of the open-borders movement as liberals. It was a very important insight that greatly improved my book.

If you guys are going to be serious in your commentary on the Muslim menace, you have got to go beyond liberal-bashing and recognize that the disastrous openness to unassimilable immigration, particularly Muslim immigration, has been pushed by our entire establishment, both liberals and conservatives.

But are the Powerline writers and their fellow Bush Bacchae even close to being serious about the Muslim menace? Do they really care about anything other than defending and celebrating Bush? Are they not like leftists, who do not care about any threat to society unless they can perceive it as a threat to their own political cause?
