financial aid is one thing. But what about the war against islamofascist terror??
Howzabout this.
Here's a little historical anecdote I heard from Ron Paul's former chief staffer, Dr. Gary North. It's from his article, "Nuclear Agates in a Marbles World".
There is one target with such enormous strategic importance that for it be taken out is so unthinkable that literally everything hinges on it – not just today, but permanently. This target is ground zero of a balance of power strategy that has been operational for 1400 years. It is a granite cubicle called the Kaaba. Inside it is a black stone, which Muslims believe was found by Abraham and Ishmael. For hundreds of millions of Muslims, this is the holiest of relics. If these two religious objects inside Mecca were ever obliterated, the survival of Islam might be called into question.
That would make the Bomb more powerful than Allah....
This is theologically inconceivable for Muslims, or at least ritually unmentionable."
Now THAT is Political Honesty.
THAT is how you win a War against Islam (if we're politically incorrect and honest enough to admit that we are at war with Islam). NUKE MECCA. Islam cannot be true, if Mecca doesn't exist.
And on, and on, and on....
In Islam, Mecca is God's geographic point of contact with the Faithful. All prophecies lead to Mecca. The nuclear destruction of Mecca would be as theologically-devastating to Islam, as would the discovery of Christ's Bones to Christendom.
The difference is, Christ's Bones can't be found on Earth -- because He reigns at the right hand of the Father even now.
But Mecca can be destroyed. And that would overthrow the very philosophical basis for the existence of Islam. Game, Set, Match -- permanently.
In other words, if you want to fight a War against Islam: either Nuke Mecca and be done with it, forever -- or else keep bleeding blood and treasure in the same sorts of halfway brush wars, for decades.
I've only ever seen two public figures willing to speak on these facts in public: former Representative Tom Tancredo, and Ron Paul's proxy writer Dr. Gary North!!
Why is it that only Tom Tancredo's camp, and Ron Paul's camp, are willing to confront Theo-political Reality? Nuke Mecca, and it's all over for Islam, forever... but only Tom Tancredo's people, and Ron Paul's people, are willing to speak this truth out loud.
Sarah Palin understands the importance of Theo-Politics. That's probably why she's bringing the Rand Paul people under her wing.
