The Paris attacks show an infuriating refusal by the West to learn the lessons of history

From Powerline

No one – and I mean not one person on TV or in the print media – has mentioned the fact that the terrorists are of Arab origin [and] are Muslim. . . .One of the guys who shot up the theater (more than a hundred dead) was shouting 'Allahu Akhbar', according to survivors. We've had thousands of 'refugees' from Syria arriving for weeks. What more do we need in order to be able to speculate on their motivations?

I was in the middle of a 3-hour drive to see family when I first found out about the attacks. My wife was on her phone and she told me her Facebook feed was filled with stuff about Paris. I asked her to go to Drudge to see if there were any headlines...that's when we really found out.

She said she couldn't find anything indicating who was responsible. My initial reaction, knowing less than Paul Mirengoff, was that this was an attack from radical Islam.

It's always radical Islam.

Every time, EVERY F***ING TIME, it's radical Islam. In what must seem counter-intuitive to liberals, laboring to be so politically correct they're willing to put blood on their hands, their insistence on not revealing the perpetrators REVEALS who they are. Liberal media, you can't keep running the same play over and over again and expect us to remain fooled.

When the killer isn't a Jihadist we know EVERYTHING about them - their life story, their middle name, some half-sister they've never actually met, and screenshot upon screenshot of their social media use. We learn all of these things, like, five minutes after they ultimately kill themselves.

But when it comes to Muslim terrorist attacks we are admonished by liberals like Obama to not speculate on such things.

As Dennis Miller said about 9-11 and liberal hand-wringing about profiling back in 2003...

Now this profiling thing. You know, when 15 out of 19 people are from one country, and you happen to notice that, that's not profiling. That's minimally observant. Okay?

If you find yourself in complete agreement to a quote made 12 years ago, there's a reason for that.

I created this in 2013 after the Boston marathon bombing. Nobody wanted to "speculate" then either. I'm ending on the same note Mirengoff does...

Personally, I'm f***ing pissed.

Me too. I am every time an attack like this is perpetrated and clueless (and almost exclusively) liberals make Barney Fife look like Sherlock Holmes with ESP.

The only thing that brings me calm is prayer. I said one not just for France, but for all of Europe that this evil will wake them up to facing it. I'm not optimistic, but nothing is impossible with God, and I hope he hears all of our prayers.

The Sad thing is that congress will NOT deport the Syrian ‘refugees’ our dear leader just imported into New Orleans, nor will they oppose and stop any further imports-

It has become clear that there is a concerted effort on the part of liberals to destroy everything that is great about this this country- They are apparently openly waging war on us and importing fighters to wage this war on us

This morning I listened to a few minutes of NPR. I was waiting for “Car Talk.” I like “Car Talk.”

The liberal NPR (redundant) reporter (Scott Simon - IDK/IDC) was interviewing a French woman in Paris. She said that the people were “angry.”

“Angry at who, exactly?” was his response.

---

Last night on France 24 a dumb woman (girl, really) was tracking the “social media.” (BTW - I HATE the social media.) She read a Tweet (I hate tweets.) where someone said that if 4 people had guns in the concert then the story would have ended better. The anchorman replied, “People with an agenda will take advantage of any crisis to make their political point.” (My quote is not exact but very close.)

I guarantee you - if that “anchorman” had been in the audience, he’s have welcomed a counter force, as he huddled, cried, and peed himself.

There, I got that off my chest.

"Withdraw from Christendom the Bible, the Church with its sacraments and ministry, and Christian morality and hopes, and aspirations for time and eternity; repeal all the laws that are founded in the Christian Scriptures; remove the Christian humanities in the form of hospitals and asylums, and reformatories and institutions of mercy utterly unknown to unchristian countries; destroy the literature, the culture, the institutions of learning, the art, the refinement, the place of woman in her home and in society, which owe their origin and power to Christianity; blot out all faith in Divine Providence, love, and righteousness; turn back every believer in Christ to his former state; remove all thought or hope of the forgiveness of sins by a just but gracious God; erase the name of Christ from every register it sanctifies—in a word annihilate all the legitimate and logical effects of Christianity in Christendom—just accomplish in fact what multitudes of gifted and learned minds are wishing and trying to accomplish by their science, philosophy, and criticism, and what multitudes of the common people desire and seek, and not only would all progress toward and unto perfection cease, but not one of the shining lights of infidelity would shine much longer. Yes, the bitterest enemies of this holy and blessed religion, owe their ability to be enemies to its sacred revelations - to the inspiration and sublimity of that faith which reflects its glories on their hostile natures. They live in the strength of that which they would destroy. They are raised to their seats of opportunity and power by the grace of Him they would crucify afresh; and is it to be thought that they are stronger than that which gives them strength? Can it be supposed that a religion which civilizes and subdues, and elevates and blesses will succumb to the enmities it may arouse and quicken in its onward march? Are we to tremble for the ark of God when God is its upholder, and protector, and preserver?” - Dr. Benjaming W. Arnett, St. Paul A.M.E. Church, Urbana, Ohio, Centennial (of the Declaration of Independence) Thanksgiving Sermon, November 1876. Arnett's "Sermon" is available in the "Library of Congress - Historical Collections" - "African-American Pamphlets from the Daniel A. P. Murray Collection," 1820-1920; American Memory, Washington, DC.

The Coudenhove-Kalergi plan was to eliminate white people from Europe. The plan developed by Count Coudenhove-Kalergi in 1925 is to increase immigrants from Asia and Africa to create a brown-colored people (a mestizo race) that are not special in any way and easily managed by the elites.

This is racial cleansing, or, genocide. Article IV of the United Nations: Persons committing genocide or any of the other acts enumerated in article III shall be punished, whether they are constitutionally responsible rulers, public officials (Obama, Merkel) or private individuals (Soros)

Here is the article on the Kalegri plan. This article was originally written in Italian in Dec 2012.

http://golden-dawn-international-newsroom.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-coudenhove-kalergi-plan-genocide-of.html

The Coudenhove-Kalergi Award is presented every two years. The 2010 winner of the Kalergi Award was Angela Merkel and in 2012 Herman Van Rompuy, President of the EU.

The count’s son Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi is very much alive and resides in Austria.

No one has ever seen him in public since he operates from the shadows, but his influence is enormous, and he decides who wins the prize.

The plan began to gain legs in the early 1930’s, but was shelved when the nationalistic and fascist governments began to rise in Europe.

Richard Coundenove-Kalergi began reintroducing the plan in 1973, and it eventually became a bedrock concept of the U.N. in the early 90s.

The plan was originally meant for Europe, but included the U.S. in its new incarnation.

In actuality, Obama was the first western leader without colonial obligations such as Britain and the other European countries had, who at the behest of the U.N. began a covert open border policy. The plan in its reincarnation did not just include Africans coming into Europe, it included all third world migrations including those from Latin America coming into the U.S.

Same thing every time. Savages attack and normal people cry for a few days, then put their heads right back up their anal exit passages.

>> Liberal media, you can't keep running the same play over and over again and expect us to remain fooled.<<

NO ONE IS BEING FOOLED!!
Except for a handful of liberals no one is this stupid. Follow the money. There is lots of political and economic power importing and servicing 3rd world immigrants.

[TexasFreeper2009]

For over 65 years the west has played with the idea that war can be won in a civilized manner.

The sad truth is, wars can never be won that way.

You either kill all of the enemy, or you kill enough of the enemy and his loved ones to break his will to continue to fight.

Those are the only two ways to win a war.

The only difference in a moderate Islamist and a radical Islamist is tactical advantage. Once they think they have it, it is jihad time for all.

Coexist reality today!

[ForYourChildren]

Thanks for the link on what Israel has been going through.

Do we really want this here? No...

No more refugees! And kick the ones that are here, out!

Pakistan, Yemen, Iran, now Syria are key countries spreading terror, Bangladesh is also joining these countries.

Clearing a last line of vineyards, the Hussars now began a charge in mass. With the cry of Jezus Maria ratuj, the password of the day on their lips, and their king at their head, the Poles advanced at a canter. The Imperial infantry to their left paused in their own attack to take in the awe-inspiring sight. At 50 paces, with the order Zlozcie kopie (lower lances!) the Hussars broke into full gallop, lances lowering like “stalks of rye in the wind”. Into the oncoming Turkish cavalry,  Sipahis and  akinci, they tore!

A witness to the charge wrote:

No sooner does a Hussar lower his lance than a Turk is impaled on its spike; disordering and terrifying the foe. That blow cannot be avoided or deflected … Oft transfixing two persons at a time. Others flee in eager haste… Like flies in a frenzy.>

Scattering the Turkish outriders, Sobieski now ordered the Hussars to charge home against the center of the Turkish camp. With an audible crash and shattering of lances they smashed home into the Janissaries. The Turkish line recoiled, and after receiving still another charge from the far-right squadrons of Polish horse crumbled. Soon the entire Turkish line was fleeing headlong in a disorderly mob from the pursuing Hussars.

The siege was over, and Vienna was saved. The Turkish drive into central Europe ended in defeat; and in the coming years the Imperial forces, led by the brilliant Prince Eugene of Savoy would drive the Turks out of Hungary entirely.

But the laurels of that autumn day in 1683 belonged to Jan Sobieski and the Polish Winged Hussars he led. This was their last hurrah, a glorious final charge that helped to save the West from Muslim domination.

Could you add a /I and a paragraph to the right of frenzy? 45 minutes on a tablet, trying to correct those G.D. extra characters and I screwed this up.

Day of Siege is a movie about that battle it’s fantastic! That’s what inspired my post. Happy you got the reference:).
