I am tired of the appeasers of the Middle East on our Right who fawn for oil and trade, and those pacifists and multiculturalists on the Left who either do not know, or do not like, what America really is. I'd rather think of all the innocent dead on 9/ 11 than give a moment more of attention to Mr. Arafat and his bombers.

Yes, I'm more than tired of these people. One the one hand there are those who would seek to profit from trade with those who are clearl your enemies. They think that the rules of cause and effect, of consequences - unintended and otherwise - simply don't apply to them, and that their money and influence can shield them from the outcomes of their choices. There are those who hate this country and everything it used to stand for. They hate and despise the very concept of freedom and free will. They're the ones who silently cheered on 09/11 and made smug pronouncements that we obviously deserved what we got.

Yes, I'm more than tired of these traitors to humanity. The cold hard truth is that giventhe current state of decay of the balance of powers that once held them in check, we're simply not going to be able to vote or debate our way out of what's coming our way this time around. Who's got the courage and intellectual honesty to think this though and call the road we're travelling and its ultimate destination by their proper names?

The truth is that there is a great storm on the horizon, one that will pass — or bring upon us a hard rain the likes of which we have not seen in 60 years. Either we shall say "no more," deal with Iraq, and prepare for a long and hard war against murderers and terrorists — or we will have more and more of what happened on 9/11. History teaches us that certain nations, certain peoples, and certain religions at peculiar periods in their history take a momentary, but deadly leave of their senses...

Recall the words of Norman Cohn, author of Warrant for Genocide:

"There exists a subterranean world, where pathological fantasies disguised as ideas are churned out by crooks and half-educated fanatics for the benefit of the ignorant and superstitious. There are times when that under-world emerges from the depths and suddenly fascinates, captures, and dominates multitudes of usually sane and responsible people. And it occasionally happens that this subterranean world becomes a political power and changes the course of history."

Yes, there is indeed a storm on the way - a terrible one, if we read the signs with an unflinching understanding of history and human nature. That persistent knocking on our front doros is that of history telling us that everything, literally everything can change in a heartbeat. From the transformation of beautiful Sarajevo to a flame-shot hell of ruin and slaughter to the collapse of the old Soviet Empire, from the democide of the Khmer Rouge regime to the cultural genocide of the Taliban and the true believers of Islam, from the murderous midnight raids of BATF and FBI jack-booted killers to the impact of the airliners on the Pentagon and the WTC - genocide, murder, the destruction of your life and your family and your home and livelihood is just a matter of whim and caprice.

Now think about what it might take to turn this around - makes a mockery of what you see on the lamestream media outlets, doesn't it? Makes a mockery of what you hear coming from the mouths of our so-called 'leaders', doesn't it?

What it should make you realize is that, in the end, it all comes down to you and your willingness to fight for what you hold dear.

Don't look to your politicians for help. They're not listening and they don't care.

Don't look to the churches - they're nothing more than the dwelling place for the clergy of oppression, and demons dance on their empty altars.

Don't look to the schools and he institutes of higher learning - they've become founts of ignorance, lies and hatred of the truth, and they teach sheepery and passivity to our children.

All that's left is you...

Rhetoric, or do you believe?

Don't look to the schools and he institutes of higher learning

Bastions remain...

All that's left is you...

Not a one of us can make it alone. We need each other, and not just for strength in numbers.

Well said Noumemon.
This part of the article struck me as well:

"All the while, no American statesman has the guts to tell the Arab leadership that statism, tribalism, fundamentalism, gender apartheid, and autocracy — not America, not Israel — make their people poor, angry, and dangerous.

--- Just as no American statesman has the guts to tell the American people that statism, fundamentalism, gender apartheid, and a socialist autocracy — here in America, — may make our own people poor, angry, and dangerous.

That was one of the most profound statements I've ever read on FR. Thanks for posting it.

Very nice post noumenon! I suspect you practice (a good deal of) what you are preaching.

Dumbass liberals of the left and the right like to say opportunity lies a phone call away.... they ain't seen nothing yet....

Death really is one phone call away. This is the sinister reverse side of 911!!!
