I thought at first it was a late April fool joke, but as I read on, it was clear that this conservative columnist sounds like she is serious.  Is the world coming to an end?

Mona Charen's column today regarding the six American citizens who were kicked off a US Airways flight is a classic example of how people are willing to trade essential American values for a modicum of security. The thing is, her arguments don't even stand up to the standards of simple logic, much less the standards of justice. Wisdom galore, a mere click away...

My apologies if this has already been diaried.  I must first add this disclaimer: I am a frequent non-commenter and even less frequent diarist.

So after a hard day's work and another 5 hours on my roof last night, I finally sat down to dinner.  As is my routine, I peruse the editorial page for the lastest nasty letters and hack columns.  

I came across this gem by Mona Charen http://www.jewishworldreview.com/...  To open her latest enlightened piece of wisdom:

In 1970, six percent of all births in the United States were to illegal aliens. In 2002, that figure was 23 percent.

WOW!  I had no IDEA the problem was this bad!  Do you know why?  It isn't.  

Well, Mona Charen, at least we're useful idiots.  You, on the other hand....

Let's talk about this.  I have serious issues with everything you write, but once in a while you manage to toss something up that I really have to talk about.  At least once I've remarked on how much sense you made - but this time, you've gone beyond the pale.

You've actually managed to conflate the war in Iraq with the Israeli occupation of the West Bank.

All I can say is, huh?

Mona, follow me after the flip, and I'll nail your sorry tail to the wall, like Martin Luther did to the Church.
