Kisses From the Left

There have been a few interesting comments regarding my now famous Fourteen Points.

Some of the messages have been supportive. Others have been honest, thought-out expressions of concern that I go too far.

And a few fall into this category:

Dude, Get a spam filter or something.And how ironic that the site hosting the petition advertises

muslim clothing and dating services.

Oh and F**K your petition you fascist b*****d!!!

First, it is ironic that Google's ad engine would detect the term "islam" in my post and send Islamic dating services my way. Good eye Mr. Anonymous, if that's your real name. In fact, I see these ads as a kind of public service. If some lonely Jihadist can get hooked up via my site, then maybe he can redirect some of that sexual frustration into something more productive than blowing himself up in a crowded train. Anyway, have you seen some of these guys? If they can get a date any other way except via e-mail, then I'm the Grand Caliph.

However, I gotta say, I really appreciated the cleverness of Mr. Anonymous' last comment. That must be the first time I've heard anyone on the left use the "fascist" label to attack those of us who are smarter, faster and more perceptive than they are.

The left likes to use that word, but I don't think they really understand what it means.

Here's the Dictionary.com definition:

fas·cism n.

often Fascism

1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, stringent socioeconomic controls, suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.

2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.

My Fourteen Points are a recipe for conducting a war where we know the enemy is among us and hiding within the Islamic subculture in North America.

The Fourteen Points say nothing about "centralized authority". Our constitutional process would continue, but we'd have to reach back to the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII for justification, Bill Clinton's apology notwithstanding.

Where among my points is there any mention of "stringent socioeconomic controls"? Nowhere. I'm a friend of the free-market.

What about "suppression of the opposition through terror and censorship"? Wrong again. I might think they're treasonous, but Durbin, Moore and Kerry can keep on talking. So can Cindy Sheehan.

Finally, where's the "belligerent nationalism and racism"? There isn't any. Islam is not a race. And if someone out there thinks my disdain for the Arabs is racist, I'll have you know my DNA is probably closer to that of the residents of Gaza than it is to those of Crawford, Texas.

Finally, I'm certainly a nationalist, but a non-belligerent one. We're only fighting this war because they Jihadists attacked us.

So, lefty dimwits, read the dictionary.

Hi again,

No luck! I am not a lefty :p.

I suggest in future, that you look up the correct word:

"fascist" noun
1 someone who supports fascism
2 a person of the far right in politics
3 DISAPPROVING someone who does not allow any opposition

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=28083&dict=CALD

As you have just acknowledged you are a nationalist, I suppose you will have to admit you recognize yourself. So let's stop playing with words.

The real point here is that you are prepared to instaure anti-democratic laws to protect yourself. You are prepared to sacrifice other people's freedom to this end, thus annihilating years of effort and social evolution.

The thing is, most of the world just wants to live in peace. And your attitude will only create more frustration and thus more violence and more terror. The downward spiral we all know too well.

It is also interesting, I find, that you should conveniently ignore any eventuality of international reaction to your "14 points".

Finally, the lewd allusions you make do not serve you. The parallels are simply too blatant to be ignored.

I understood your warning the first time you gave it to me.

I have already explained why I do not believe in extremism. Moreover, your own argument invalidates itself by recognizing that despite the use of these 'tactics', we are all still here (14 centuries on), discussing the subject.

I think it is a question of interpreting the book at a higher level, metaphorically and while weeding out the historical parts.
You may find "The Da Vinci Code" enlightening in that sense.

Finally, I am not trying to reason with the muslims but with a few fascist extremists who want to exterminate all of them because a tiny minority lack respect for human life. Sadly, minorities of all cultures, religions, ideologies and nationalities are violent, stupid and immoral enough to commit the most atrocious crimes. However, we cannot punish the world for their crimes.

As ever, Anon-1

PS: I happen to implicitly trust 3 muslims, whom I have known from birth. Never have they shown me the slightest lack of respect.

Keith:

The list of factions/organizations/etc who do not want to live in peace is much longer than just the single item you name. I never suggested we should not address the issues of violence and terror. I am only saying it is wrong to assume that all muslims are violent, murderous and treacherous just because a few of them are fascists.

Are you suggesting all muslims should be eliminated (or imprisoned)? That, to put it in someone else's words, 'Mecca should be nuked'?

"Princess" Kimberley:

"Your 3 loyal muzzie friends do not understand the true nature of their religion". Yes, yes. Of course. Perhaps I should introduce you? Not. They spent years learning the book, so I am pretty sure they know what is in it. I have been told by a muslim friend that she could kill me quite 'morally'. Strangely, you might say, I am still alive and sleeping with both eyes shut. So, you see, even muslims who do not attempt to attain the higher level of reading, are still able to lead honest, moral lives.
