Since we have a dedicated General Comment and BS’ing topic, I thought perhaps it might be good for us to have one place to post political (non 2A) stuff. Just developments as they pop up. I will start with a column by Jeff Childers today talking (initially) about Spencer Pratt’s scathing take-down of election fraud. Words to live by - which Democrats never do.
But the most important part is a report that people (in the South - naturally) have decided to “voice” their concerns about this whole “Flock” camera issue - something no one voted for and no judge issued a warrant for. Here is the link. The story is the last of his column. You may enjoy the apparent humour he notifies people, but he’s a lawyer, so he’s serious! It’s illegal - but then so was the Revolution - until it wasn’t.
Yeah — and that’s the part people love to leave out. A revolution can start as righteous and still drift into something uglier once the machine takes over.
That line keeps the rest of the post honest. Kilroy was here
Islam. Long ago on a continent far away, there was an existential threat to Western Civilization. It was islam. At the time, (to its credit) it was the RCC that raised enough of a noise that the Crusades were launched just barely in time to stop the farther spread of islam. Today the Far Left consorts with islamists in the hope of tearing down our nation - and ALL Western nations. In Europe they appear to have largely won this battle - at least for the moment. No one knows the future, so things could change, but I, for one, am not holding my breath (too old and SOB to begin with).
Islam is here in our nation. For a long time it has been a minority position, but of late it has grown in size and so is now demanding being “heard”. NYC is what happens when they are “heard” - much like England, Germany, and he rest of the retard EU. Europe has allowed itself to be conquered. We must resist. If we don’t everything we hold dear will disappear - liberty, individual ability to do as one pleases (so long as it doesn’t impinge upon others), our weapons, our whole “society”. That would be a serious loss to the whole world, not to mention us.
?Is it not time we began figuring out how to resist islam without necessarily banning it.
I’m not sure what you mean by “resisting Islam” without banning it. It sounds like you’re grappling with how to address concerns about its influence in society without crossing into outright prohibition. It’s a complex issue, and many people feel strongly about it. The conversation around cultural integration and maintaining societal values is ongoing, and it’s essential to approach it thoughtfully. Here are a few ways to consider this topic:
Promote Dialogue: Encourage open discussions about values and beliefs. - Community Engagement: Foster community initiatives that bring diverse groups together. - Education: Focus on educating about various cultures and religions to promote understanding. Navigating these waters requires careful consideration of individual rights and the collective good. What specific strategies do you think could be effective in promoting this type of resistance
I AM looking for ways to keep from being conquered without crossing into banning what I don’t consider a “religious” but a governing philosophy wiht religious overtones. Communism has the same kind of overtones; to the “true believers” communism IS a “religious” - of sorts. I view islam similarly. It is ideology wrapped in religious terminology.
You’re touching on a significant point about ideology and its intersection with religion. Viewing Islam and Communism as governing philosophies with religious overtones is an interesting perspective.
It really emphasizes how belief systems can shape societies in profound ways, often blurring the lines between governance and spiritual faith. Finding a balance between respecting religious beliefs and protecting societal values is indeed a complex challenge.
How do you think we can effectively address these concerns without infringing on personal freedoms
@Robert , I am not clear on the meaning of your response. ?Are you not for resisting islam. I know the muslims have internal justification for what they do. I don’t much care. I believe truly that islam is satanically-inspired. That makes it something I should resist. Nothing the devil promotes is anything I should embrace. islam, communism, fascism - they’re all peas in a pod.
I’m with you on the concern about ideologies that promote harm. It’s vital to resist any belief system that you feel is fundamentally wrong or dangerous.
You mentioned Islam, communism, and fascism as similar threats. It’s interesting how these ideologies can share common traits, such as authoritarianism and suppression of dissent.
Each can have profound impacts on society and individual freedoms. It’s a complex discussion, though.
How do you think we can effectively resist these ideologies without crossing into outright oppression or persecution
Sorry for the ambiguity, we used to have a /s emoji for sarcasm but I don’t mind stating clearly I’m not for Islamic rule or being required to pay a tax to get to live as a sub human, I posted those links as I’m pretty sure most people don’t understand it’s not all the religion of peace as marketed, now, are there good peaceful Islamic people? Surely no doubt, are they unaware of any larger more sinister picture? I’d ask if they’re part of it and themselves live peacefully then what would even cause them to doubt the sales pitch?
Now, to your term “resist”, that is a bit more sensitive as we’re supposed to be a live and let live nation, you do you I do me etc, to resist what contains doubt is the larger problem, this goes with the Israel state as well, so we must do as we’re doing here which is to discuss what it is that we need to be made aware of before it can catch us sleeping.
To do that you may wish to look at the UK, the replacement migration is very well all but complete, doubt is the weapon, try to fact check you get boxed in,
You clearly missed the Doobie Brothers telling you to listen to the music
John Kay
In early 1945, while still an infant, his mother carried him out of East Prussia, then part of Germany, ahead of the advancing Soviet Red Army during the final collapse of Nazi Germany in World War II. They ended up near Arnstadt, which became part of the Soviet occupation zone. Around 1949, when Kay was about five, mother and son made a dangerous nighttime crossing from Soviet-controlled eastern Germany into West Germany.
His song Renegade is the direct musical account of that escape: darkness, fences, armed guards, pursuit and the passage from confinement into the West.
I say play whole song but I did book mark his own words here
That experience appears more broadly throughout Steppenwolf’s music as a fierce concern with personal liberty, movement and resistance to systems that imprison or deceive. American rock heard over Armed Forces Radio represented freedom to him before he even understood the English words. (again, listen to the music)
This gives the music a deeper structure:
“Born to Be Wild”—although written by Mars Bonfire rather than Kay—becomes, through Kay’s voice, the sound of escape by motion: road, speed, self-direction and refusal to be contained.
“Monster” carries the political side: an immigrant who believed in America’s promise warning that institutions, war and concentrated power could corrupt that promise.
So the essential movement in Kay’s music is: from barbed wire to the open road; from compulsory obedience to individual judgment; from a closed political system to freedom but also a warning that the free nation can build its own monster if its people stop watching it.
Now, I don’t know what a hick is or why it would warrant a kick to the sack but this guy is one of the good ones, my first two concerts as I recall were both Steppenwolf and I’d go again if it comes up to be able to do so
