The mythical “moderate” Muslim — the Muslim who embraces traditional Islam but wants a peaceful coexistence with the West — is effectively non-existent because to the extent he exists, he has no voice.

In America, as well as in Virginia and most states, resident aliens are treated just like citizens. The Jewish problem for conservatives professes to uncover the many and varied ways Jews destroy their host nations like a fatal parasite, especially when the host is a Western nation-state. The evidence suggests that President Bush has been overwhelmed by the notion that democracy and its methods trump all the uncertainties left over from science. For all of those Enlightenment thinkers who owed so much to the foundation Descartes laid down for them in the new science – the new science that reduced man to mere matter — political order or the ontological ranking of things in the world could no longer be natural to man. While the Pope knew he would disappoint many Catholics and non-Catholics in the West for what appears as unnecessary humiliation and capitulation, he also knows that the West, given its rejection of Truth and Reason and its fixation with the ratiocination of modern science, is simply incapable of defeating Islam. To James Baker and Lee Hamilton, borders and discrimination based upon the geography of a man's birthplace appears to be the most irrational of ratiocinations possible. In his best-selling book Culture Warrior, Bill O'Reilly sets out a potentially more useful division between traditionalists and secular progressives. Many men of good faith do not realize that science will never abdicate its current role as man’s sole and exclusive route to certain knowledge. Science itself demands its world to be the exclusive domain of certain knowledge. The second leg of the War Doctrine — avoid a war with Islam and work to bring its faithful into the 21st Century by Democracy Building — is purely ideological, meaning it is a denial of reality, and illogical. The resolute certainty that a “peace” through democracy is available for all men everywhere at all times is a result of the failure in modern times to recognize that particular men develop particular political orders representative of who they are as a People. It is not the other way around. War making is an ultimate act of ranking or of making distinctions between Peoples because it can only be reasonably predicated upon a ranking arising out of a qualitative ordering or ontological discrimination. War in the founding of a People – its revolutionary act of constitution and constituting – is in and of itself a value for that People. A response to Dr. Robert Higgs, "War is Horrible, but…"
Failure to permit the torture of terrorists who harbor valuable information is morally reprehensible and intolerable. There is nothing in history which would lead any rational person to conclude that all men everywhere at all times are only interested in material wealth. What evidence is there that democracy, in any form, can somehow be used to tame the evils of Islam, its jihad against the West, and Arab tribalism? By fighting the war with an ideology instead of a strategy for complete victory, the President is setting the stage for a colossal defeat and retreat. In her new book Knowing the Enemy, Professor Mary Habeck acknowledges the historical roots of jihad in traditional Islam while struggling (unsuccessfully) to create some distance, even if ever so slight, between today’s jihadists and their historical antecedents. The fundamental defect of the case of ACLU v. NSA is that it is wholly contrived. Faked from beginning to end. The claim of standing is for conduct that simply does not exist. Norman Ornstein has proposed the adoption of a mandatory voting system for congressional and presidential elections. Mel Gibson is an important Catholic because as a successful actor-director-producer and as a very public Catholic he is in the cross-hairs of the liberals. Why is it that the West seeks appeasement with Islam when it is so clear that Islam has never sought co-existence with the West? If you were to read a lengthy article in The Washington Post that was recently published, you might get the idea that the ADF is the evil twin of the ACLU. In reality, the ACLU is always working out of hate and fear. They hate and fear Christians, religion, and national existence and they fight [...] When the state's police power forces a man affirmatively to engage in some behavior that violates his religious convictions, the burden should be on the state to justify its imposition. The New York Times, the Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal have taken the position that government employees are somehow do-gooders or heroic whistle-blowers when they disclose to the media secrets the media wishes to publish. The Wall Street Journal's editors must face this undeniable truth: Muslim civilization is at war with Judeo-Christian civilization. |
