Am I the only one zeroing out here on that word?
Why America Has Already Lost the War by Moshe Feiglin
The politics of the middle way of compromise and tolerance will get the nation spewed out. There really are polar opposites such as black/white, good/evil, high/low, truth/lies, murderers/victims. Saying it isn't so and wanting peace and safety when there can be none won't work. There is a time for love and a time for war. Now is a time for being strong and resisting the onslaught of the Muslims who are sworn to kill all Jews, Christians and Americans.
I like it. It lampoons the left's self-image of being open-minded, while showing the uselessness of having no discretion. My sister, bless her, once said there is no absolute good and evil, it's all how we view it. That's a noble, utopian, dangerous idea. I asked her if she'd concede that Hitler was evil. "Only as we see it." she said, or something to that effect. You can imagine I avoid talking politics with her.
Brilliant. Simply brilliant.
Warn the terrorist nations that should the U.S. be attacked again, Mecca, Medina will be destroyed. Islam is a religion that is tied to places - take away these places and Islam is destroyed. What kind of God is Allah if he can't protect the holy places? A WEAK OR NONEXISTENT ONE!
This is the only thing that will get their attention. The risk of losing Islam is the only thing these people fear. We should issue this ultimatum immediately and stick to it! It is for our own self-defense! If we don't do it, we will not win this war. Kindler gentler wars are for idiots and cowards.
Main Entry: ca·su·ist·ry
Pronunciation: 'kazh-w&-strE, 'ka-zh&-
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -ries
Date: 1725
1 : a resolving of specific cases of conscience, duty, or conduct through interpretation of ethical principles or religious doctrine
2 : specious argument : RATIONALIZATION
Well, not all. I believe all those bombs and murders in England and Ireland were the work of Protestants and Catholics. And don't forget our home-grown Christian terrorists.
Myth #2: Profiling is an evil to be avoided at all costs.
We just have to tiptoe that fine line between due diligence and extra inspection based on a consistent (this is where the drug war lost it) set of known profiles, and treating an innocent citizen as if he were a criminal just because of ethnicity.
Myth #3: Part of the FBI's failure on September 11th was lack of Arab or Muslim agents.
Wrong target. I'd say it was a lack of Muslim CIA operatives. The cells were already formed to be set up in the U.S., so I doubt having more Muslim domestic agents would have done us much good. We needed to nail those suckers at the source.
Myth #4: We must ally the "moderate" Muslims.
Yes, we must. This is a basic fact. There's no way we can go to war with 1,000,000,000 Muslims and expect to win. We have to get the vast majority to live peacefully with us and help put pressure on those who won't.

Or so as I recall.
I think it means BS.
