Psychological paralysis in the battle for America
American Thinker ^ | 6 Sep, 2021 | M. E. Boyd

Posted on 09/06/2021 3:55:43 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Those who wish America’s demise have altered citizens’ view of America’s reality, rendering them incapable of fighting for its survival.

n a recent article in the American Thinker entitled, The Thirteen-Hundred-And-Eighty-Nine Year War, I outlined some of the major battles in the to-the-death struggle between Islam and Christianity. Back and forth, back and forth it has gone until Christianity and the West seemed to have prevailed after World War I. The Battle for Afghanistan, 2021, just turned the tables.

Islam allows no accommodation with a non-believer. Christianity does. Those Muslims in America who allow such a modification are westernized Muslims who see Islam as a religion to be practiced within the context of the American Rule of Law. They do not see Islam as a political ideology of worldwide conquest. Those Muslims who have not accepted that compromise view Islam as an intractable struggle that must have a clear winner and a clear loser by Islamic, not Christian, terms. Should traditional Islam prevail, those that do not convert must die.

The predicament America finds herself in is difficult for the average American to internalize. We are programmed very early on to develop as individuals. We are programmed very early on to mentally bend to ideas that clash with our “norm” and to find a way to accommodate if only to honor the second Commandment of Christianity – love your neighbor as yourself. This construct seems reasonable to Americans and partners nicely with other internalized values – fairness and tolerance.

Christianity has a hard time, today, bringing itself to a psychological position of winning no matter what. The seeming contradictions of ruthless versus mercy, of pitiless versus compassionate, of brutal versus caring, have so disoriented the Christian mind that relief from the conflict presents itself, often, as numbness.

Yes, deception, lies, propaganda and spin... and evil.

This seems to be a recurring theme of the left. As conservatives we have to be brave enough to call it what it is, and for the last 50 years conservatives have not. We have been seduced by the tolerance preached to us by the harmless hippies, that evidently are not very harmless in the long term.

We have to call it what it is.

We listened to the great Libertarian placater-in-chief, el Rushbo, and were lulled to sleep.

We failed when some tried to root out the commies. Maybe we got a few like Alger Hiss before McCarthy was cancelled. Why should we expect a different result with Islam?

...We have to call it what it is...

Some action is also required. I doubt that will ever occur. We'll just keep calling it what it is, and let it roll over us and crush us into the dust.
