Thank you for your work on the Trump 2020 reelection campaign.

 

 

You and those like you are doing yeoman's work reminding us why the left is politically dead and Republicans are in charge of everything.

 

 

Your sacrifice is appreciated.

 

Luckily you guys work for free, because Soros can only fund so many protests.

Maxine Waters is a joke, but not because of this.

 

I just recently heard about this thing at Evergreen State in Washington. The inmates are literally running the asylum up there. Really has my jimmies in maximum rustle. But I guess speaking out against banning white people from campus for a day makes you hitler.

 

Original Evergreen video very troubling. Follow up article.

how much longer can the modern liberal pretend islam isn't the problem?

how much longer can the modern liberal pretend islam isn't the problem?

 

Wahhabism and the radical version of Islam promoted by Saudi Arabia is a massive problem but not the only problem. There has always been political violence and terrorism. London was bombed by the IRA for example.

 

Overreacting to it means they get what they want.

 

Also don't forget this.

Which is what?

Making mecca glow

[FCP Bob 1,312]

Which is what?

 

well taking away our civil liberties. Changing how we lead our lives out of misplaced fear. Hating people for what religion they are and not who they are. Using it as an excuse to go to War and wasting hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of lives and make things even worse in the process.

 

This is how we should react.

Brilliant & defiant interview from someone who was in a restaurant attacked last night here in London. The right response from a tough city.

[FCP Bob 1,312]

Which is what?

 

The radical Islamists want a war between Islam and the rest of the World. Don't give it to them.

[FCP Bob 1,312]

That being said the one thing that we all need to worry about is some of these wingnuts getting their hands on a dirty bomb or suitcase nuke or something along those lines because they will use it.

 

I'm all for the Intelligence people recording every conversation on the planet and having as much information and intelligence as possible.

why? all of human history tells us there is only one way to stop this. no amount hashtags and crying is going to stop this problem, and it's only going to get worse as the muslim population rises in europe. we can hope they correct themselves, but considering they are a thousand years behind everyone else, i'm not hopeful we get there anytime soon.

haha. i thought you wanted to preserve civil liberties?

[Scrim 115]

no I don't think he's cool with it I think he won't care. My point is that if the knife wielder was Muslim there would be some tweet from him about it and about protecting Americans from the dangers

you do realize that the main battle is within Islam. Do you know the difference between Shias and Sunnis ?

So... as it turns out, you don't know what 'civil liberties' actually are?

[FCP Bob 1,312]

I don't equate privacy with civil liberties the same way that many other people do. I have no problem with the government knowing my business. It's what they do with that information that limits me that is the issue.

The battle is with people who want to live in a modern society and those who don't.

[Scrim 115]

I do. I'm also not particularly interested in picking the fly shit out of the pepper.

 

There is no way whatsoever to distinguish 'dangerous Islam' from 'good Islam' and even if there were, it's not like the people who make this distinction would support a policy that discriminated against that particular group.

 

You would then change your position and say that there are "Good Wahhabbis" and "Bad Wahhabbis" and do the same absurd mental gymnastics with the Islamic subgroup that you do with the main group.

 

The bottom line is that the post-modern egalitarian is finally reaching the point where its consequences can't be relegated to inner-cities while the proponents champion 'diversity' from the suburbs. The left has gone full retard and the consequences are getting such that the mainstream is starting to tire of their excuse making for what is a very obvious problem with people who come from one particular religion.

 

That 'they're all not that way' or that domestic extremism exists or that if we just count terror attacks from 9/12 going forward they don't make up an absolute majority of terrorists doesn't do anything to extinguish the obvious defect rate.

 

People are willing to be idealists until the consequences of their ideals cannot be tolerated.

We're one (two at most) generations away from ethnic cleansing in Western Europe. Probably not genocide, but ethnic cleansing.

No, this is no correct.

This is a rare sort of naive.
