Reflections From a Murky Pond

Liberals and Progressives just love to preach about the absolute need for tolerance. Yet, America’s ranting and raving domestic enemies neither show any understanding of that term or exhibit it towards those who fail to live up to every single argument of their doctrine and dogma.

Crucify Them!

Tolerance is the ability or willingness to allow the existence, occurrence, or practice of something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with, with forbearance. What the Liberals and Progressives seek is endorsement, aid, and normalization of certain things that they have decided are protected traits. They do not seek any form of forbearance; they seek overt and explicit approval of that which normative, American society does not necessarily agree with.

Burn The Heathens, Heretics, and Apostates!

And, as is to be expected, the “tolerance” of our domestic enemies does not extend to “heathens,” “heretics,” or, most especially, “apostates.” The latter bears the worst persecution but Liberals and Progressives demand that all of them profess their auto-da-fé before being nailed to the cross or burned at the stake…All in the name of fostering tolerance of course.

To borrow the catchphrase of their token, let me be clear – there is little if any difference between the Liberals and Progressives within America’s borders and ISIS, the Taliban, or Boko Haram. They may differ in exact beliefs and use somewhat different specific methods but they share a common level and extent of extremism and orthodoxy. When it comes down to it, there’s not a lot of difference between a knife, an AK-47, or an IED and paper terrorism and lawfare. In all cases it is the attempt to destroy those who beliefs are not deemed allowable.

The winds of time change and with them change the winds of societies and religions or, at least, the hearts and minds of the adherents to religions. When dealing with them, one needs to check the weathervane for their current conditions.

Jihadism Is Islam’s Weathervane

Well the winds of Islam are blowing strongly straight towards the barbarism and feral savagery they wallowed in during the first century of its unfortunate existence.

Yes, it’s quite true that we could look back many centuries and find a time when the Muslim World was arguably the center of philosophical and scientific thought, a time when Muslims should more humanity and tolerance than Christendom did, especially when it came to either free thought or the Jews. Likewise, it is equally true that, if one looks back many centuries, one can find a time when Christendom was horrifically intolerant and prone to persecuting people.

Yet both the golden age of Islam and the dark age of Christianity are long buried in annals of history. We, the living must deal with the winds of today and today the winds of Islam are ill winds indeed.

Britain’s ever-delightful and voluptuous Stacey Poole is showing us all that St. Patrick’s Day isn’t just an Irish holiday and that there’s a lot to be said in favor for rapprochement between the peoples of England and Ireland.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m not truly against Obama’s and the Liberals’ desire to use various social means to stop the spread of- and mitigate the damage caused by the Islamists and the many Muslims who support the goals, either actively or through tacit agreement.

How You Win Their Hearts and Minds

I’m a very firm and committed believer in targeting our Muslim enemies’ hearts and minds, both abroad and at home. 😉

The weather is still cold and quite vile. Where I’m at in NYC it’s hovering around freezing and cycling between snow, sleet, and rain.

This is sort of weather where and when you really need a hoodie if you’re going outside. Even better would be a down-filled hood since, as you can see, it gives more and far better and hotter options on how to wear it.
