"The DUmmie are ignorant and naive..."
Years ago I read a short story about the "Ancient Body Ritual of the Nacirema," which is really a description of an archaeology dig about American bathroom tasks. Your comment reminded me of that, as though the DUmmie are a tribe.
We wonder where the decisive are when our cultural pictures are airbrushed, and the message is always peace through discussion and placating. For these many years since WWII, all here admit the general populous has germinated in the stew, not of sentimentalism but of a romantic adolescence born of plenty. Our hands are hand cream soft as our minds have mildewed with too much self-reflection and self-absorbtion. Those who rise from the Street and poverty bred from false beliefs come hard by us now, expecting to push us whimperingly aside in our civility.
At issue thus is not so much whether we have the courage to fight to keep our freedom and civilization as much as it is whether we can be faithful always to the verve and will the men and women showed on Flight 93.
The DUmmie? They will go the way of the Nacirema, becoming subjects of archaological curiosity. Such is the price of cowardice.
