Sep. 30, 2006 Intifada fizzles in Brooklyn: a coalition of 24 radical groups draws only 70 protestors (and 3 counter-protestors) on 6th anniversary of the al-Aqsa Intifada, a.k.a. Arafat’s War, or the Oslo War. This is a young Dutchman wearing a t-shirt with the famous Danish cartoon and U.S. flag draped around his shoulders. He…
Unlike in Boston, where the Democrats stifled free speech by dissenters, keeping them within barbed wire enclosures, in New York City, the First Amendment was enabled to an extraordinary degree. Approximately 100,000 people marched right past Madison Square Garden, the home of the Republican Convention. A crowd of 100,000 left-leaners contains a lot of different…
