Denial-Multiculturalist delusions

AKA Political Correctness

AKA Denial of faith in the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, trusting instead in man, and hatred of the truth

The current Obama-facilitated coalescing of the elements of the End which I think will retreat somewhat in the next few decades. The End is coming but, as the guy in Gladiator says, "Not yet".

Excellent essay.

The answer is a return to freedom spiritually, politically, and economically.

Spiritual freedom is in the gospel of the grace of the LORD JESUS CHRIST through whom we receive complete justification and forgiveness of sins.

Political freedom is the Rule of Law which in America is the reinstatement of the CONSTITUTION as the Supreme Law of the Land and Ruler over the federal government, thereby repealing the 80% which is unconstitutional and removal of government interference individuals’ daily lives.

Economic freedom is the unleashing of the voluntary cooperation in the openly competitive FREE MARKET ECONOMY with government interference.

A free America will hate “political correctness” and interference with individual freedom at home, and will resolve to utterly destroy foreigners who actively and imminently seek to destroy her.

Radical Muslims want to kill you.

The victory of narrative over fact is the principal thing behind this self-inflicted blindness. It's a curious thing, really: those who are not believers in God seem to cling to narrative with a fervor matching the Christian martyrs of old, and yes, they do cling to it unto death.

I cut GWB a little slack at least in the early days for claiming that Islam is a Religion Of Peace mostly because I believe that he was afraid of a wholesale massacre of Muslims in the United States in revenge for 9/11. Unfortunately Dubya didn't learn better along with the rest of us, or if he did, he certainly didn't say so. But the themes of Americans Are Violent People and the Wholesale Massacre are also a part of the narrative that simply will not allow modification in the face of contrary evidence, of which there has been plenty.

Whether Islam is inherently violent I shall leave to theologians (with a reasonable suspicion that the answer is ineluctably Yes). But Muslims certainly are, a very large number in an organized way and with a bestial passion. "All Muslims are violent" doesn't work, of course, if you can find even one that is not, but if enough of them are it really devolves to a logical technicality. There may still be Amazonian or Borneo headhunters who wish to decapitate an ordinary citizen but there certainly and demonstrably are quite a few Muslims who do. The former have the excuse of utter lack of civilization. So do the latter.

Islam is a war plan.
