"Spontaneous" protests?

Daniel Pipes.......

"The key issue at stake in the battle over the twelve Danish cartoons of the Muslim prophet Muhammad is this: Will the West stand up for its customs and mores, including freedom of speech, or will Muslims impose their way of life on the West? Ultimately, there is no compromise: Westerners will either retain their civilization, including the right to insult and blaspheme, or not."

Kenneth Timmerman- showdown with Iran

"Saturday's resolution by the International Atomic Energy Agency in Vienna reporting Iran to the U.N. Security Council for further action is not just a slap on the wrist, as skeptics of the United Nations might legitimately suspect.
On the contrary, it demonstrates a remarkable consensus among nations few would consider as U.S. allies that Iran's nuclear weapons program poses a clear and present danger to the world at large."

Tony Blankley- cartoons but not the funnies

"In Czechoslovakia under communism it was common to see signs reading "Workers of the world, unite" in the windows of fruit and vegetable stores.
Vaclav Havel, in his book, "Living In Truth," discerned the significance of those signs.
As elaborated by Stanley Hauerwas, professor of Theological Ethics at Duke School of Divinity, Mr. Havel believed the shopkeeper does not believe the sign. He puts it up because it was "delivered from the headquarters along with the onions." The grocer thinks nothing is at stake because he understands that no one really believes the slogan. The real message, according to Mr. Havel, is "I'm behaving myself... I am obedient and therefore I have the right to be left in peace."
But Mr. Havel shrewdly points out that even a modest shopkeeper would be ashamed to put up a sign that literally read "I am afraid and therefore unquestioningly obedient." He is, after all, a human being with some sense of dignity."

The growing role of bloggers.......

"Torontonians, especially, are in no mood for excuses. We do not want to hear Harper or Premier Dalton McGuinty, or Mayor David Miller telling us what the other two guys should be doing. We want to know what they are doing. Right now"
