America's New Battle Cry: "Fagit About It"

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave...” Elmer Davis

The other day I watched as New Yorkers were being interviewed about the proposed Mosque.

One typical—and yes I say typical because there is such a thing as a typical New Yorker—and that is not a bad thing. In fact it’s rather a colorful and fun thing, actually.

So the New Yorker steps up to the microphone and says, “I have one thing to say to the Imam: Fagit about it.” I got chills, and I knew it was all over and this new battle cry would be just as effective as, “Give ‘em hell, Harry.”

Yep, Toto, I guess the radical Muslims know they are not in Great Britain, the Netherlands or everywhere else in Europe anymore.

Politics is the dirtiest word in the English language, or any language for that matter. Those who run about claiming this or that is politically incorrect, like it’s a new concept, should stop and pause.

Americans have always embraced political incorrectness. It’s our stock in trade. We march in Selma followed by vicious police dogs and sheriffs, we refuse to change our seat in a bus, flock to Washington to protest a misguided war and burn our Maidenforms.

We are not shrinking violets who stand by and watch as an unpopular concept or ideology tries to invade our space.

We don’t invite the enemy to tea and spout “Cheerio, old chap, here is my country, and try the scones with lemon curd.”

We have big mouths, we have big guns and we will use them. Look to the passengers and crew on United Flight 93 who beat the crap out of the Islamic extremists before they could take out the White House. I am sure some of the last words the terrorists heard on that flight were “Fagit about it.”

The New Yorker got it right. The radical Islamists intent on taking over the world and making it Sharia compliant—and make no mistake this is the plan, so wake up and smell the hummus—have never come face to face with the likes of a true New Yorker.

No matter what the stupid politicians do to appease the Islamic extremists, I’m betting that building could never happen.

This building is a symbol of the finest hour in American political incorrectness.

Americans do not lie down and roll over because it is polite. Ride a subway some time. We do not cow tow and turn over the Senate of the United States to our enemies.

Although on second thought, if the political extremists are looking for some political prisoners to torture, we can have Congress packed up and ready to go in an hour. And we’ll throw in Pelosi’s beads to clinch the deal.

Here’s another little secret. We don’t give a damn what the United Nations says about us. And we wear their condemnation proudly as a medal of honor that such a corrupt, evil institution disapproves of how we take care of business.

If Americans had any say in the matter, and not the idiot politicians, the UN would be looking for space in Red Square in a broken down tenement where they belong.

Oops, sorry UN, we forgot to mail you that two billion dollar check. Oh well, go ask Iran or Syria for the money. They can help you out. So can Libya and Sudan. Why not ask Scotland and England, so politically correct they even free mass murderers who play sick and ask for their mommy?

And don’t forget to pay that fifty million in parking tickets to the City of New York before you leave.

The concept of dirty politics, of dirty politicians and of citizens feeling alienated and disengaged is hardly new or inventive.

If nothing else America is, and always has been, a politically incorrect nation.

That’s why it is a nation and not an Indian reservation, or a slave owning society or a segregated series of states, or any of the other actions Americans have taken to upset Johnny Appleseed’s politically correct applecart.

When Caesar was stabbed, was this politically correct or politics as usual in the Roman senate?

When Richard Nixon played dirty tricks and used the American political system for his chew toy was this anything out of the ordinary?

Americans have never given a damn about what is politically correct. We are a nation of political expediency. And we have the wet teabags in Boston Harbor to prove it.

Was Paul Revere’s ride through Boston to awaken the Minutemen politically correct?

America’s youthful indiscretions have been its greatest strength. Young people feel invincible. They take risks, they battle the establishment, and they rebel. They jump in before thinking and act on emotion.

We say what others might not want to hear, and we do what is good for America. It comes of having a strong, selfish ego at a young age.

We have no desire to be a Sharia compliant nation. The women of this country have fought too hard to escape the pedestal (yes, at times I think maybe a bit too hard). As any New York woman would say to someone trying to get her into a burka and out of her Manolos and Donna Karan, “Fagit about it.”

We like America. It's a cool place to be, a hip young country with a great vibe. We love our iPods and our Macs and our Rock and Roll, and we have no intention of moving backward in time.

If radical Muslims want to live here, well get with our program. Millions of moderate Muslims are thriving here. There are certainly enough Muslim nations in the world now that you can choose to live in. Why do you insist on altering our way of life? If you don’t want to live like an American, why live here?

That’s the question we all need to ask. Is it about building bridges, or burying our nation beneath the ruble of fanatic Islam?

Every American needs to stand tall, scarf down a giant piece of Mom’s apple pie—the heck with the diet—and lock and load. We would never stand by and watch as our country is taken over from within or without.

As any self-respecting New Yorker would say loudly and proudly to anyone challenging our way of life, “Fagit about it!” So close to the anniversary of 9/11, that is a battle cry we need to shout loudly and proudly around the world.

### The series “Postcards from America—Postcards from Israel” by Ari Bussel and Norma Zager is a compilation of articles capturing the essence of life in America and Israel during the first two decades of the 21st Century.

The writers invite readers to view and experience an Israel and her politics through their eyes, Israel visitors rarely discover.

This point—and often—counter-point presentation is sprinkled with humor and sadness and attempts to tackle serious and relevant issues of the day. The series began in 2008, appears both in print in the USA and on numerous websites and is followed regularly by readership from around the world.

What an odd mix of getting things right, folly, and misinformation. Norah really needs to crack an honest history book.

“flock to Washington to protest a misguided war”

Opposing evil is always the right thing to do, mutatis mutandis. If you were old enough to have lived through that, you might have noticed that those scumbags were not protesting the war, or calling for peace. They were protesting against two things, and two things only: against a victory over communism, and against their own skinny butts having to fight.

“burn our Maidenforms.”

That was really funny. Feminists were angry about men liking the way they look, so they punished us by showing us more.

“That’s why it is a nation and not an Indian reservation, or a slave owning society or a segregated series of states, or any of the other actions Americans have taken to upset Johnny Appleseed’s politically correct applecart.”

Do you even know who Johnny Appleseed was, Norah? Do you imagine that he had anything to do with any of that?

By the way, speaking of the war between the states, Lincoln single-handedly changed the nature of our Republic…and not for the better. As H. L Mencken (of whom you have probably never heard) put it, “The Gettysburg speech was at once the shortest and the most famous oration in American history...the highest emotion reduced to a few poetical phrases. Lincoln himself never even remotely approached it. It is genuinely stupendous. But let us not forget that it is poetry, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it. Put it into the cold words of everyday. The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination—that government of the people, by the people, for the people, should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything more untrue. The Union soldiers in the battle actually fought against self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves.”

“When Richard Nixon played dirty tricks and used the American political system for his chew toy was this anything out of the ordinary?”

Nice job of sucking down all the lies the America-hating left put out about that.

Nixon’s subordinates were guilty of conspiracy to expose multiple felonies involving the improper use of DNC funds to pay prostitutes. When his subordinates finally told him the truth, Nixon decided it would be best to cover up this trifling indiscretion. This was entirely reasonable, in view of the heinous crimes that the media had covered up for Roosevelt, maybe Truman, certainly Kennedy and Johnson. Later, they even covered up murder for a sitting president. The demonrats, hating Nixon and knowing that they had the media in their pocket, decided to lie, lie, lie, and spin, spin, spin, and artificially escalated this tempest in a teapot to the status of a (barf alert) “constitutional crisis.”

“Was Paul Revere’s ride through Boston to awaken the Minutemen politically correct?”

Really? Through Boston? Now that’s just embarrassing.

He said to his friend, “If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light, –
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm.”

“America’s youthful indiscretions have been its greatest strength. Young people feel invincible. They take risks, they battle the establishment, and they rebel. They jump in before thinking and act on emotion.”

All those things are terrible errors. We should raise the voting age to 35 for men, 85 for women.

“America is a nation of rebels. That is what has made us great.”

No, ignoramus, we were great because we were good, and we were good because we were Christian (or Jewish).

“It comes of having a strong, selfish ego at a young age.”

I can think of nothing more likely to make a dog’s breakfast of everything it touches.

“We like America. It’s a cool place to be, a hip young country with a great vibe. We love our iPods and our Macs and our Rock and Roll”

That’s what America means to you, and you claim special wisdom for the young and callow? You have absolutely no idea what makes this country great. None.

“and we have no intention of moving backward in time.”

Tough.

“Every American needs to stand tall, scarf down a giant piece of Mom’s apple pie—the heck with the diet—and lock and load. We would never stand by and watch as our country is taken over from within or without.”

That much is true, but people like you need to be privates in that struggle, not generals.
