And when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, I had to give the old man his due, even if I never gave him my vote.”

“The argument that the countries use for the sheer increase in Muslim doctors is the sheer increase in the Muslim population. In for example Birmingham, England where a lot of these guys came from, where one of these plots was hatched, it's up to 30% of the population. Maybe that's the problem?”
