My responses to these reader comments form the editorial for today. First I’ll repost a bit of the thread in question to give you proper context, followed by my thoughts. Reader Gramfan posted these worthy observations:
I think it is also important to use MSM ‘blog sites. Most papers have them now and from what I have read I have observed some things:
1. Most people that post are aware that PC and multi-culturalism are doing us a lot of harm, meaning they can see the affect of islam on our communities.
2. They are learning a lot about islam: many are familiar with taqquiya and excerpts from the koran.
3. They are beginning to notice that the muslim posters who “seem” to be nice and friendly do nothing but knock Christianity, knock Judaism, knock the US and any right-wing governments,,,not to mention their views on Israel.
I see muslim posters re-writing history daily. It is unbelievable.They are using “divide and conquer” strategies on us.
4. They are observing how muslim posters “argue”.
I am beginning to wonder if one of the first posts I read on Jihadwatch was correct.
It was from the UK. It is obvious Blair has blood on his hands re the British people. Someone said it is just a matter of time till there is a civil war.
This sounds unthinkable I know, but how long are people going to take this? Or is it just people like myself, and other baby-boomers, who can see what is at stake here?
I am going to keep doing what I am doing. The answers will come if we keep our goals clear. And hopefully a leader will also emerge.
Yes, indeed, I do believe not only is there a civil war brewing in Europe, I think it is not unlikely to occur here in the United States. I’ve said so a few times in various ways, but one of the primary reasons that I relocated my own life some years back (and yes, after I’d already discovered Jihad Watch), was to position myself in the best strategic spot to weather any coming storm — literally. I’m hardly alone in thinking that civil war is coming. Some of the brightest minds around agree. In fact, I have a book on my shelf that I’m about to get to by Orson Scott Card that deals with the fictional upheaval and eventual division that very well might hit the USA: Empire.
I’m sure that more than a few people that know me believe I’m crazy, because it’s far easier to want to believe that, than to believe my message. This is also why Generation X is asleep at the wheel — they’ve bought into the “love everyone until they hate you” mentality of the Far Left, the Gay/Lesbian Coalitions, the ACLU, the Feminazis, and groups that exploit them for entirely different goals like CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, etc.
Who the hell doesn’t hate war? Leftists act as if they are the only people that abhor war, but in fact, soldiers that have been to war hate it far more than anyone — and yet they are willing and ready to fight and die to protect us, and yes even the Rosie O’Donnells of the world, too. Why is that?
It’s because hating war doesn’t mean war isn’t necessary.
None of us would be here today if it were not for the good deeds and wars fought by men and women from throughout history who were willing to take up arms and stand for something greater than themselves individually. But today, we are being attacked by people on one side that only care about the individual to an extreme (the Far Left), and on the other side by people who care not one iota about the invidividual (the Islamofascists) — and that’s why they are in league with each other — because they have the same common enemy: Free People of Common Sense and Western Values.
Do we live in houses without walls? Of course not. And why is that? Because everyone needs boundaries. Every great nation deserves its sovereignty. There is no more reason for the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, Britain, Canada, et al, to give up our ideals to appease zealots that are bent on world domination in the name of a false religion, and yes I’ll say it, a false god. Because I have absolutely no qualms about stating that Islam is a lie, that the supposed words of Muhammad that were scribed in Arabia did not come from God, and that the only evidence we could require to know that for sure is to compare his deeds to those of any other great prophets from all-time. Muhammad was a monster, and his legacy is the most monstrous cult in the history of humanity.
And these are demons that are now being smoothly shoveled down our throats by snake-charmers in places like Dearborn, Michigan. And the message is perpetuated by tiny brains like Nancy Pelosi. People of massive ambition like her are perfect tools for the Islamists. Again, just like Chamberlain before her, she’s making the classic errors — “the road to peace is through Damascus” — and it is doing nothing but weakening the West and preparing us for our own downfall.
Indeed, words will not suffice forever. That is one of the primary points of my blog and probably my greatest subtext. Eventually we are going to be pushed into a corner because of the weaklings that are currently leading our nations. There are a handful of superstars that are keeping us all afloat right now, but we need to bring in new leaders with greater understanding of this conflict and actually start making changes. We need a Churchill, or two or three. We need fearless bastards like Patton, and crafty, honorable warriors like Rommel, and a political animal like Machiavelli, not more sycophants and more unwise schemers and greedy lobbyists. And certainly not more lawyers!
This week I will turn 40 years old. I’m in the unique position in my “old” life to see the changes necessary for the United States and the world, having enough life experience to have attained an ounce of wisdom, and at the same time, I’m “young” enough to have the energy to fight hard, stand up to anyone and make trouble for my enemies and ours. For some reason I’m convinced that this is not just happenstance. And so, I will continue to labor here on the Anvil and to fill my head with as much information as it can stand before it pops like a balloon. I will dig my feet in and not budge when I am confronted by more and more ignorance and lies and hate and fear. (Yes, I will even survive email spam.)
Perhaps these things are perceived as easy to say, but I have always lead by example in my life, unlike too many around me, and I mean every damn word of it. If I’m ever presented the opportunity to bend the ears of our leaders in private conversation, I will. If I have to fight to preserve my own life from assassins, I’ll do my best then, too. The simple fact is, I’ve decided to fight the fight, not just sit idly by and do nothing — and that is exactly how we can still win this war with Islam. If everyone owns the battle, the battle can be won. Just as was done in World War II and later during the long Cold War. We engaged the enemy, we had the greater will, we fought united and we prevailed.
Nothing less than the audacity of collective free thought and the strength of collective will can save us now from the multicultural seditionists that eat away at us from within and the Islamofascists that assail us from without. If we do not decide to do something about these enemies, then it will be over, civil wars will occur as the last gasps of the West are heard, and the worst crimes imaginable will be levied against our way of life.
Now, the urge to pen my thoughts has lead me to this point again on another Sunday morning, and I think I’ve said enough for one day or many, for that matter, and it’s again up to my readers to decide: “Is he crazy?” or “Is he aware?”
In the immortal words from the losing 1964 Presidential campaign of Barry Goldwater, former Republican Senator from Arizona: “In your heart, you know he’s right.”
Will this be another losing “campaign”, despite being right? That’s up to you, gentle readers.
