The war is here. This will be the true test for the future of civilization, because if the United States can’t stop hating itself, we will tumble regardless of whether or not the Islamists usurp power or destroy our people with WMD terrorism.

@USorTHEM: I completely understand being disgusted by yet another adjective in front of Islam, but I think you underestimate Gingrich. He was using his own adjective in order to signal that he knows the truth but just can’t say it — yet. I urge you to watch the entire speech and you might think differently.

I’m convinced that there are powers in play that know what the probable outcome of all this political correct horseshit is going to be. A man like Gingrich is too well-read and smart to not see all the eventualities.

Now, indeed, if I could ever graft myself to some power players and grab an ear or two in the next decade or so, I definitely would shake up the standard line of thought, but the odds of that are slim since I don’t come from Old Money and never attended any Ivy League schools. There’s not going to be any easy path for me to get where I’m needed, but then, that’s probably why I chose to start running the Anvil. I can make a helluva lot of noise just from the sanctum of my home office and I sure as hell intend to make the most of that.

In due course I might actually reach someone of real power in Congress with this site. I already know I’m affecting a few authors that I am positive have read enough of my no-nonsense approach that they have to be left thinking a little more aggressively. I also know the same is true of some DoD employees and military personnel.

Now, I’ll refrain from wishful thinking and slapping myself on the back. Many other bloggers are out there smacking the keyboards along similar lines to me — finally — and this means a greater awakening for more Americans and Westerners and human beings of true sense and clarity, so I deem we are all making a difference. The key is to KEEP doing it, over and over and over with no apologies until enough people see the reality of this conflict that they start to treat it like a damn war and not a Hollywood movie!

This is going to be a long, drawn out process, unfortunately. The Cold War lasted over 40 years. This may last even longer, in which case we will lose, or it will be shorter and far more violent, in which case we might win. Scary thoughts I know, but that’s how I really see things.

This is going to take many hard choices if we are to preserve ourselves against the cadre of useful idiots, seditionists, Islamists, former and current Communists and all the rest that are wetting their lips at the thought of running the USA and her friends into the ground.

But…. As PM Ergodon of Turkey recently said
“ISLAM IS ISLAM AND THAT”S IT”

Newt and his constant references to the “irreconcilible wing of Islam” is more than I can take. I could not finish reading the entire speech.

If Islam is going to be reformed it is not going to be because infidels suggest it. It has to be reformed from within. But since you can get yourself beheaded quite easily at the first suggestion of some “modifications if you please”, that is unlikely. We are stuck and he needs to grasp that.

Newt exhibits an extraordinary misunderstanding of basic Islamic doctrines. A true muslim does not cherry pick which parts of the faith he choses to follow. The Taliban shooting girls going to school and destroying statuary are just doing what the Koran directs as far as the place of women in society is concerned and worshiping false idols. They are being true, devout muslims following a fair interpretation of the words of the Prophet( Peanut Butter Upon Him). This is the part Newt , and so many others don’t get. He thinks that the Taliban have perverted the religion when they are just doing what the Koran directs. This makes all the difference to me because he is, in this sense, no different from any other candididate or the Bush Cheney Rice gang.

I wonder if Newt has read any of Spencer books?

Newt is a respectful debater, and would probably love the chance to debate the issue with a knowledgble, and also respected and respectful opponent. I love listening to each of them. Wouldn’t a Spencer v. Gingrich debate on reformiming or modifying Islam be a hoot?

The US is being forced into being the bad guy again since the UN has no spine. The UN has become strictly management of propaganda, or silence, for member states like Russia and China and others, now Germany.

How would Bush survive such a thing? It would be perceived as the boy calling wolf again. I wonder.

Halloween would be a fitting day to strike, but that’s just my idea.

From Fox News:

“Germany — a pivotal player among three European nations to rein in Iran’s nuclear program over the last two-and-a-half years through a mixture of diplomacy and sanctions supported by the United States — “notified its allies last week that the government of Chancellor Angela Merkel refuses to support the imposition of any further sanctions against Iran that could be imposed by the U.N. Security Council.”

The announcement was made at a meeting in Berlin that brought German officials together with Iran desk officers from the five member states of the Security Council. It stunned the room, according to one of several Bush administration and foreign government sources who spoke to FOX News, and left most Bush administration principals concluding that sanctions are dead.”

Terrorism and the desire for genocide trumped by money?

Don’t tell me to accept Islam

The threat of Grassroots America attacks such as the ones you describe were put into a hypothetical on Beck’s show is very, very real. The worst part about such attacks? They are almost unstoppable. They might not have the immediate visual impact of a 9-11, but the effect upon the American psyche would be profound.

Frankly, I’m not sure how these current generations of Americans would react, but the type of reaction to such unspeakable terror acts that might occur is exactly what the future of the USA is depending upon.

If we continue to act like victims then we had better be damn prepared to be treated like herd animals by our stalkers.

One of his guests was Zuhdi Jasser, a moderate and secular Muslim, who we’ve seen lately, who stated the moderates better soon stand up in unison and fight extremism with all their might, or if such an attack occurred, they all might have to ‘run for the hills’ so to speak and Beck said it is almost becoming too late to take that stance. That’s how serious things are.

Interesting. And, I agree.

I pray you are correct in your analysis about Newt.

Sounder - thanks! I often quote what I read . . .and defining moderates as you have above, is one I will use again.
