Pro-Terrorists

Posted on 09/29/2001 2:05:23 PM PDT by FrdmLvr

Please forgive the vanity, but I just read a brilliant thought someone posted to the anti-war protest thread. When the subject comes up with friends, family, and acquaitances, we need to start refering to anti-war protestors and peace-niks as being Pro-Terrorists, because that's what they are.

No, I didn't see their rally today so I'm not really fit to comment on their statements.

I'm going to assume that it was a gathering of many people. Like most gatherings of many people there were probably people there of many different opinions about many different subjects. I'm sure that many of their opionions would be labeled as pro-terrorist by me and others opinions might very well strike a chord of Truth that I would consider to be the furthest thing from pro-terrorism.

I'm simply commentating on the shallow nature of across the board equating of peace with terrorism.

Thank you for the thoughtful post. You make a great argument that pacifism is often an enabler of the terrorists.

Perhaps it was my 'brilliant thought". This is what I posted earlier today:

Start by not using the word 'peace'.

These are anti-American pro-terrorists -- "period."

"The totalitarian Left has finally found its perfect soulmates."
Mark Steyn

The word is getting around.

CNN gave short shrift to the anti-Americans, only a brief, thoroughly dismissive report well into their news program.

Only similarly cowardly scum (including some on this thread) believe these people are 'for peace'.

Even Bill Jefferson Clinton (are you paying attention, scum?) said today (paraphrasing accurately) "It takes two parties to have peace and the other side just killed 6 thousand Americans."

Who objects to peace?

I suppose people that equate peace with terrorism do.

Apparently you want to shut your eyes (and ours) and "visualize world peace" while holding hands or some such nonsense. There are times when you have to fight for peace instead of wishing for it, and if you run and hide to avoid this, others will do it for you, and you will be no more than a craven coward.

On the other hand if you want the U.S. to meekly surrender to the terrorists in the name of "peace", you are a self-centered murderer who would sacrifice millions of people on the altar of your self-righteousness, just so you can "feel good" and keep your hands clean.

Which is it?

btw, for those as uninformed as you, those silly turdlets speechifying today were not "pro peace", they were anti-American. or maybe you consider those labels interchangeable also, huh?

True- some of the sponsors of the demonstrations today are advocates of violent action... as they so nobly demonstrated in Seattle.

Please respond directly to things that I have posted. Because you failed to do so on your last post, it came off as a rambling rant that has absolutely nothing to do with any of my posts nor does your post even come close to touching on any of my opinions.

If you're trying to argue that peace=terrorism, you failed. Please take your time and write a more thoughtful response.

why? Nothing you write ever makes a lick of sense.

Do you really think pacifism will cause the bin Ladens of the world to see the folly of their ways? Do you think pacifism would have stopped the Nazis?

Bingo!! There are about six million reasons that pacifism doesn't work.

You are right, except the total death toll was a whole lot higher than that.

Wow. A two-sentance response. That must have been very trying on you.

Don't give up. If you're diligent and get plenty of rest I'm sure that someday you'll be able to even work your way up to four-sentance responses. Don't let the posters that make thoughtful arguments that go so far as to use pararagraphs intimidate you. They're way out of your league and they aren't your competition.

The struggle is within yourself. Dig deep down inside of yourself and find the strength to write a three-sentance response. I'm here for your moral support. Go boy, go! You can do it!

Such posturing is its own reward to them

Speaking of rewards, I had a sudden insight today that I'd like to share with all of you. How much of the leftist/socialists' rabidity in the past two weeks has been based on pure and simple jealousy ?

Remember, these are people who have a cause - sometimes, many causes - and to them, the world would be "a better place" if only everyone else just believed in the cause (and donated a chunk of cash) as well. In fact, I believe that it is this lack of cold, hard cash support that shapes their view of America as one of a selfish, capitalist, and (most of all) unfeeling nation that just wants to 'grind the Poor under its collective heel.'

Now, think of the humanitarian outpouring of love and concern in the wake of 9/11. Think of the one-half billion dollars raised, in two weeks. The tractor-trailer loads of food that had to be turned away from Ground Zero - because it would spoil before it could be used. How unselfish is that? How unfeeling?

Since they know that they won't be able to get their hands on the money, nor be able to capture the emotions of the people in such a way, I think it just inspires them to hate good people even more.

Thanks for posting the full response of George Orwell. I just had part of his response.

What he said then was valid, and now with the left wing extremists controlling the tv nets, fishwraps and many other so called news sites, these phoney peaceniks can have even more of a negative impact!

Thanks again! Orwell was great, and we need to post his comments whenever a peacenik tries their game to weaken us by being with the Mass Murdering Arab Terrorists with their false pleas of peace!

"Pro-peace equals pro-terrorism? I really think you need to think this through a bit more. Your post makes absolutely no sense at all"

Thiis post makes plenty of sense to me, the pro peace position in reality means no attacking the terrorist, thereby allowing them (the terrorists) to attack again. If that isn't suppoting terrorism, I don't know what is.

Mass charity, spontaneously and freely given, is anathema to the left's desired consolidations of state power - ostensibly for the purpose of doing such noble deeds.

Well, I'm very pro-peace and I'm also very much in favor of attacking the terrorists. Nothing in this world is black and white.

On the one hand we have fools that say we should make no attempt to seek retribution against the terrorists. I don't agree with their position. On the other hand we have fools that say that if someone doesn't want to inflict harm on another person, no matter how horrible their crimes, they are pro-terrorist. I don't agree with their position either.

This "you're either with us or against us" stuff is just shallow one dimensional crap being served to the idiot masses to make sure everybody walks in step with whatever the Industrial Military Complex and its Corporate Media lap dogs decide to do.

Er, it's usually called the Military Industrial Complex.

The people who designed and manufactured our high tech weapons (hint: they work for 'corporations') and the brave men who will use them will soon protect you and your ilk (Jane Fonda, Susan Sontag, assorted British congenital anti-Americans) against the threat of a second and third wave by the WTC murderers.

But don't bother to acknowledge your debt to them. We know your type and out-of-character behavior --admission of error -- will not wash. But I suggest you stop pretending you 'really' are on our side; it is an act and it is unconvincing.
