The War is Over!
With all that is going on internally, it is easy to forget the:
War with Islam
War on Terror
Overseas Contingency Operations
Quite a comedian, huh? Not up to Baghdad Bob’s standards; but he sure seems to enjoy his subject, as does his studio audience. Religion of Peace my ass. At least we are no longer at war with him and his ilk. We are back into a defensive posture and will handle this man’s dream, when it comes, as simply a law enforcement matter. â—„Daveâ–º
There are no religions of peace. Maybe Buddhism, on balance, but if we were to reject religion as a species, we would be vastly more peaceful.
Interesting video. I wonder how much of the general population he speaks for. Is he just a fanatic? They exist in any organization. I read an interesting sci-fi book once, can’t remember the name, but the premise was that we had built a device that could look anywhere in the universe. What we found was puzzling. Life was plentiful everywhere we looked. Intelligent species were not uncommon, but we couldn’t find a single species in the universe that was notably more advanced than our own, just scorched remains. Why? Because any civilization that becomes advanced enough that the ability to build and use a weapon of mass destruction becomes something any individual can achieve, some nut will do it. Every time.
Agreed. I don’t know if you know what MEMRI is; but they do translations of Muslim media. This was a TV broadcast on some Arab TV station! Estimates are only 10 to 15%; but that is still a lot of radical Muslims.
I didn’t read your book; but I have heard the self-annihilation principle postulated by a physics professor. The interesting thing is that it doesn’t even take a weapon of mass destruction to moderate the advancement of society. One of the most profound things I ever read was that mankind had all the knowledge and math necessary to put a man on the moon within 100 years back at the time of Socrates; but then the barbarians razed the libraries! I suspect that we are not even the first advanced civilization to inhabit this planet.
If you have the time, read my essay, “Dark Ages II” where I make a persuasive case that, thanks to the Malthusian environmentalists, it is now only a matter of time before the Muslims drag us back into the fourth century. â—„Daveâ–º
I wonder how many radical Christians and Jews would support turning arabia to glass. It may be a similar number. I believe one of your heroes once said, “We should invade their lands, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity”
It is a race. We have to quit tiptoeing around people’s imaginary friends and start attacking those falsehoods that unite them. A well educated and open minded populace is a peaceful populace. And we have to get all our eggs out of one basket and get off this rock. For a third of what we spent bailing out AIG, we could have had a manned mission to Mars; not that that is a great role for government either, but it beats bailing out insurance companies.
If you read my apocalyptic essay, you will see that there is absolutely nothing we could do, that we would allow ourselves to do, to prevent Islam’s ultimate victory. Those switched on enough to even see the demographics problem, are precisely the ones too squishy to consider employing the extreme measures that might save our civilization from the radicals. â—„Daveâ–º
