Time But To Late

[alfsauve]

Two excellent articles today. 

This one on E Pluribus Unum.  Never thought of it like that.  Has to do with the dumbing down of education.  Education to which the Orlando terrorist was subjected.




Also another one, on Islam, which I can't find right now, but I do have the Snopes reference to the Churchill Quote

"Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."

He had a lot more to say on the subject.  But the above is the crux of the matter.

I think the quote comes from this book

Read it, IT'S FREE.
So isn't, The River War, where he also has a lot to say about Islam.

These people most definitely ARE the enemy.
They are not the enemies of guns.
 Gun control, AKA criminal empowerment, is not happening in a vacuum.
 These are the same people who are dumbing down education, destroying morality encouraging BLM thugs to kill cops, spending the country into a blackhole, and encouraging Muslims to kill us.
They are not opposed to guns, it's civilization they want to destroy and if the barbarians at the gate are not your enemies then you are part of the problem.

Yea, those guys are the enemy. 

I was speaking of the guy or gal that I've known since kindergarten who may have a uneducated opinion on the whole issue.  They're not bad people they just need knowledge.  I spent an hour at my 40th class reunion last year discussing guns, the 2nd Amendment, the Constitution, politics with a girl I've known since the 6th grade.  She asked some questions, disagreed on a few points and after the hour was over she had a completely different perspective on the subject.  Not everyone is a crazed leftie...  There are a shitload of them in MA but west Michigan is pretty red...

I did get her riled up on abortion though...  I suggested that rather than killing the poor child in her belly, she could have chosen not to allow the cock up in there in the first place...  Choices, we all have them...  I did get a hug and a kiss from her so we're good...

Support for ANY liberal causes makes them the enemy.
For example, Support for abortion is actually support for eugenics which means selective breeding and death panels for the elderly, it was a key feature that lead  to gassing Jews.

Thanks, Tom.  I've "bought" it already.   I've seen some of the quotes from River War and I like the Malakand quote better.

THIS!!!!

As MB has said, and even I have said, these people are our blood enemies. Not because we want that, but because they are making themselves so. In a way, they are the very epitome of Lenin's "useful idiots", but as they are being used they are willingly going along with all of the traitorous statements and actions being taken by our .gov "betters", they have moved into the "blood enemy" field, even if unintentionally.

I keep wanting to ask - "Claire Wolfe, what time is it now?"

Are you guys having issues with this page being full width on the page?  It's spread across the whole dang screen for me.  I even have to slide the screen over to read the really long comments or multiple sentence paragraphs.

I wonder how far some of our politicians are from being modern versions of Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Kim Il Sung, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot?  I believe the unfettered intolerance of some, for instance the California congresswoman, Rep. Linda Sanchez, Democrat, may be one of these lunatics-in-training. Not that everyone in this country doesn't commit a felony or two a day, but she proposed it to be a felony to use blogs, texts, internet messages to harass someone.  Now, what constitutes harassment?  So much for the 1st Amendment.   You know the Huffington Post will not be a harassment blog except that a conservative posts something.

Unfettered intolerance.  Not a bad word pair to describe liberal Democrats.

In 2014 Tom Udall had a proposal for a bill to limit political speech and insure incumbents continued enjoyment of the trough of public tax funds.  That dadgum pesky 1st Amendment...we need to get rid of it.  And, of course, the Freedom of the Useful Idiots/Partners-In-Crime (aka Press) and states wasn't restricted. 

So, we have people wanting to get rid of the 1st and 2nd Amendments.  People we know who are drunk on power.  Look at Hussein Obama...Nancy Pelosi...Harry Reid...and dare I say at one level or another the complicit Boehner and is Butt-Boy-In-Training Paul Ryan.  I guess the motto, "It's not fascism when we do it.", applies here.

Then there was something this past week about "climate deniers" had no right to the 1st Amendment.  So, I suppose if inflammatory speech isn't working against "the opposition" it must be quelled by denying them rights. 

Oh, inflammatory speech. In a normal world, that would be setting up the question or comment with things like "Anti-science" or "Denier".  Really, I did not even know such a pussy word as denier existed until the so called climate "debate" but I digress.  People can disagree on things and have an intelligent discussion, or...people with a tyrannical bend can rally around inflammatory comments to ridicule, shame or otherwise attempt to dismiss thoughtful comments and concerns of others.  Inflammatory (and should I say emotional) setups like "anti-science" and "denier" as opposed to thoughtful discussion to find truth and points of disagreement to explore.

Unfettered intolerance and inflammatory speech are things that can be identified in tyrannical ideologues and rulers.  I'd put Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Kim Il Sung, Mao Zedong, Ho Chi Minh and Pol Pot in the group that exudes unfettered intolerance and inflammatory speech.  What politicians do you know who thrive on unfettered intolerance and inflammatory speech?

Yes Rastus.  I just started having an issue this morning.  My old eyes don't like the shrink.  It is only this page, all others are ok.

I blame the ghost of ALF!  Our furry little friend is upset that we killed him off, and has taken up residence in this thread.

It is caused by the link Alf posted above. Go back to page one of this thread and it is fine, but on page two with the large link it expands the page width. Some links don't "wrap" on the page and it causes the page to display wider. I've seen it off and on on threads for several years.
