Even the National Review thinks Holy Joe is an idiot

MANIFESTO

The country's most venerable conservative publication thinks Senator Sanctimony should back off from his insistence that certain earnest Arabs be identified as "Islamic extremists."

[I]t would be desirable if the distinguished senator from Connecticut, who chairs the Senate’s Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, would refrain from characterizing the enemy as “Islamic extremists,” as a way of disassociating them from the many millions of Muslims, at home and abroad, who are not determined to destroy us. Our foes are most accurately depicted as adherents to Shariah — the virulently intolerant, supremacist, and totalitarian ideology of authoritative Islam — not as “extremists” who are somehow ... “hijacking” the religion of peace.

Oh that the forces that the junior senator prefers could be as lily white as he'd like jihadists to be.
