Good article.
Thanks for posting.
This is so right on the target, perfect. I have lost most of my friends in this category because I dare challenge their quasi-religious self delusion on this, the most important issue of our time.
Because they hate America and everything about it.
It's so true-
"Deliberate delusion born of self-interest; ignoring reality out of self-importance"
Libs are still stuck in high school trying to get the most votes for Student Council, or the Miss Popularity award, it seems.
bump for later
Best article I have read in along while detaling what is happening to American common sense.
"They are outlawing our defense of ourselves. Many enlightened liberals wishing to control our fate quote him because it provides them the moral tools with which to stymie our efforts."
Defending America is too "messy". Perfect fit for the a**holes crying about the war in this country,
Great article. A keeper for my library. Thanks for posting. The Rabii really hits the nail on the head.
1) Afghanistan was a US Victory.
2) Iraq was a US Victory.
4) They are both part of the War On Terror.
so what we've been told that they are a religion of peace is wrong. (like I didn't know that already).
Who is this guy? He's pretty awesome.
They have lost the working man but the blue collar crowd has shrunk in size such that the Reagan Democrats are largely gone. The Union crowd called the Lace Curtain Liberal Artsy Fartsy Liberals. They have no idea of the real world.
They used to complain about America's support of brutal dictatorships just because they were anticommunist. It was a valid critique in my opinion. Bush has put forth a moral foreign policy promoting democracy. Well, these jerks hate this even worse than the support for Marcos or Batista.
While they call for understanding of other cultures (which I support), they will not evaluate those cultures based on widely accepted values or their ability to "get along" with others. Only America is to be tolerant, other countries have "legitimate grievances" and need not tolerate anyone disagreeing with them.
This is surely a screwball world.
When practiced by too many, a civilization dies.
Unfortunately, the psychosis documented here is practiced by a shade less than 50% of us. And growing. We will never solve the problem with these people around. They will deny the threat until the moment they are beheaded. To them, surrender is preferable to self-defense.
Yes, I think this is the problem--the "understanding" business. But the author fails to mention one of the worst offenders in the understanding business, the Jewish philosopher Martin Buber who was a resident of Israel. He embraced the "thou", the "other" as Muslim to the detriment of his own country.
He's "America's Rabbi"

I deliberately maintain positive relations with friends who are duped by the insanity of cultural elitists. I also never give an inch in my firm commitment to 2 programs that will resolve our current diffuculty. First that Islamofascists must be stopped dead in their tracks by any means necessary. Second, that a national mental health effort be mounted to heal liberals of their craziness.
My friends do not like being told they are nuts and in need of help. They each firmly belief, however, that conservatives and especially Christians are ignorant and morally inferior. In time they will understand that their hearts have been hardened against facing the truth. I want to be around when that happens to help them make the transition.
"Can a good Muslim be a good American? I forwarded that question to a friend that worked in Saudi Arabia for 20 years.
The following is his forwarded reply:
Theologically - no. Because his allegiance is to Allah, the moon God of Arabia.
Religiously - no. Because no other religion is accepted by his Allah except Islam (Quran, 2:256)
Scripturally - no. Because his allegiance is to the five pillars of Islam and the Quran (Koran).
Geographically - no. Because his allegiance is to Mecca, to which he turns in prayer five times a day.
Socially - no. Because his allegiance to Islam forbids him to make friends with Christians or Jews.
Politically - no. Because he must submit to the mullah (spiritual leaders), who teach annihilation of Israel and Destruction of America, the great Satan.
Domestically - no. Because he is instructed to marry four women and beat and scourge his wife when she disobeys him (Quran 4:34).
Intellectually - no. Because he cannot accept the American Constitution since it is based on Biblical principles and he believes the Bible to be corrupt.
Philosophically - no. Because Islam, Muhammad, and the Quran do not allow freedom of religion and expression. Democracy and Islam cannotco-exist. Every Muslim government is either dictatorial or autocratic.
Spiritually - no. Because when we declare "one nation under God," the Christian's God is loving and kind, while Allah is NEVER referred to as heavenly father, nor is he ever called 'Love' in The Quran's 99 excellent names.
Therefore after much study and deliberation.... perhaps we should be very suspicious of ALL MUSLIMS in this country.
They obviously cannot beboth "good" Muslims and good Americans."
I like your numbering system.
It reminds me of Lot, who was willing to send his daughters out to be raped and murdered, in order to avoid a confrontation with the men who wanted to break in and rape his visitors, or when Abraham pretended Sarah was not his wife, willing to give her up to protect himself. Even if they were to face the truth, would they be willing to do anything about it?
