"I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpation."- James Madison
I know you can't agree with everything each elected official does, but our line is the Constitution! (I will update this article with the official voting record)
Now "They" Are Coming For Us
Repeal the Patriot Act Now!
Trivalized, my eye! Don't fall victim to the pseudo arguments of the ACLU. Such sentiment provided the very foundation from which the SS proceeded to perpetrate their horrendous crimes against their own people with impunity. The incremental escalation of denial of rights, liberty and the pursuit of happiness progressed from small carefully chosen, seemingly trivial ones, through apparently logical rational ones, all the way to genocide - one small step at a time. If you truly respect Freedom and the souls of the millions who sacrificed their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to purchase and maintain the reality we enjoy today, you must oppose every attempt to dilute or make obsolete any portion of the rights reserved unto the American people. The primary obligation of our Republic's Federal Government of Laws is to provide for the common defense. We must withdraw support of all types from those who would exchange liberty for security. Such people deserve neither.
Interpretation of law is not a word game. Meaning derives from context. Meaning persists - words evolve. Interpretation of old phraseology in today's context is fallacious. It thrives on revisionist history and disrespect for elders. Each time an extended family dissolves, true experiential history fades a little more. How do we know about the ancient Sumerians? They recorded their stories on fired clay tablets. How are our stories recorded - no longer even on paper - it is all digital 1's and 0's. Tried to listen to an 8-track tape lately? Consider what the telephone did to the practice of letter writing. What legacy are we leaving? What is our context? Oral traditions vanished long ago, the printing press finished them. Our future is dependant upon vigilance and strict interpretation of the constitution - in its original context. As Elvis Costello wrote "There's no such thing as an original sin" - it's all been done before. The same old plots with new characters and technology.
The revisionists never rest. What actually facilitated the more radical steps in the rise to power of the SA and SS in Germany is certainly glossed over in subsequent renditions and even in the original poem attributed to Rev. Martin Niemoller. Remember one of the first concessions the Nazis asked of the German people - in the name of domestic security? "Relinquish all privately held arms - so that women and children might sleep securely at night." After that it was easy - just one popular cause after another, gradually evolving into the slightly objectionable and eventually to ghastly inhumanity.
Trivialized? Hardly. That is precisely the point. One small step at a time, steps so small and logical that no person who still retains their freedom will object and will probably even support them - until no one remains to assist you and your means of resistance are long gone. Soon even your will to resist is broken and yes, even you will participate when asked.
When persons such as Y. Goodman Brown publish their baseless characterization of people like Gail Davis as "very likely an anti-Semite" the accuser has become Nazi supporter - albeit unwittingly, through the timeless technique of "divide and conquer".
No rationally literate person can honestly deny that the Radical Islamic teachings of the Qur'ân allow for only three methods of dealing with infidels - infidels being clearly defined as Judeo-Christians:

1-Exact tribute from them,
2-Convert them to Islam, or
3-Exterminate them.
I know of no similar prescription held by the Muslims against any other world religions - major or minor.
This appears to be a clear-cut declaration of war hiding behind a "peaceful" religion. Just as Saddam attempted to hide behind the skirts of his most oppressed "supporters". The Plains Indians in America hunted Bison by wearing wolf skins. This tactic allowed the hunters to mingle with the herd - wolves were no threat to the powerful bison. Most know to "beware the wolf in sheep's clothing". We must also beware the hunters in wolf's clothing. All is not always as it seems. Perception is not reality, style will never prevail over substance.
The truth is out there. America must awaken to the reality confronting us and quit bending over backwards for the likes of the Stephen Rohde and the ACLU. Don't be distracted by their campaigns such as "enforcing" the separation of Church and State. That is just another divide and conquer ploy, probably not even of their own making. To the ACLU it is no more than a profitable academic exercise. But to the millions of Americans who sacrificed their all so that we may realize their dreams of freedom, it is an extremely dangerous dalliance. To those who would destroy America it is a golden opportunity easily exploited in the name of fairness and security. The founders of our nation wisely and effectively prohibited the establishment of a state religion but even the Deists among them celebrated the importance of the Judea-Christian roots of Freedom and Justice. These ancient laws are the foundations of civilization.
Equality is objective - fairness is subjective. Objective reality is guaranteed. Perceived reality is subjective - it changes constantly.
Many have forgotten the history of the ancient family feud which we must guard against even today lest we fall victim to its nearly genetic hatred. What would Abraham have done could he have foreseen the death and destruction inflicted upon their families by the descendants of these two brothers?
Freedom exacts a high price and so carries an even higher responsibility. No one who enjoys it is exempt from that obligation. We never know when or whom will be called upon to make the next installment. More than 3000 persons paid the price for all of us one sunny morning two years ago. It would be the ultimate treason of conscience if we allow their sacrifices to be squandered in pursuit of "security".
With each piece of our constitutional freedoms traded for the mere promise of security, the 9-11 hijackers creep ever closer to ultimate victory. Our panicked pursuit of security will accomplish their goal - the destruction of the "Great Satan" - not from without but from within. Consider the hunter in wolf skins within our circle.
Obviously the author of TalkLeft.com should double up on his own layers of tin foil if he thinks he can successfully trivialize American patriots who call attention to the pernicious onslaught mounted against our freedoms - or mention Black Helicopters - by simply referring to us as simple minded conspiracy nuts.
We don't need an "Act" to recognize a disembodied wolf. We only need to be aware they are on the prowl.

On 'First They Came For the Jews - The Story of Yet Another World War'
Why do Europeans hate Israelis so much? Could it be that the Israelis fight Islamic supremacy whereas Europeans continue to meekly accept their future dhimmi status? The same question could also be posed to the moderate Muslims of the West that would be subjected to the same fate as that of non-Muslims, or worse. After all, moderate or "liberal" Muslims are also despised by the Islamists, both the al-Qaeda variety and that of the Iranian and Hezbollah brand.
A new essay from the "insightful European writer" who writes under the name, Fjordman, writes that it is often said that the West is a Judeo-Christian civilization, and although there are some people who contest this term, and that not all Jews or Christians share this feeling of connection, he doesn't believe it to be just a cliché. He believes that the modern history of Western civilization would be unthinkable without its Jewish component, and it is thus our own identity and survival as a civilization that is under threat from Iran and Hezbollah, not just Israel's.
Fjordman uses in the title of his piece, the title of a poem attributed to Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) about the quiescence of German intellectuals following the Nazi rise to power and the purging of their chosen targets, group after group, to emphasize his point that just as it is with Pastor Martin Niemöller's poem, today's story of the Wests quiescence to Islamic fascism that we are living in real time - is the story of yet another world war.
Just as Niemöller's poem tells the story of Europe's refusal to stand up to the Nazis while they still had time:
When the Nazis came for the communists,... Fjordman's essay is warning Europe and the rest of the West that our failure to stand up for and behind the Israelis, is the story behind the story of WW-III:
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.When they came for the Jews,
I did not speak out;
I was not a Jew.When they came for me, there was no one left to speak out.
We only have the moral right to defend ourselves against Islamization if we give the same rights to Israelis. It is the same religious group that is harassing non-Muslim in European cities, that wants to blow up planes over American cities and is murdering Buddhist teachers in southern Thailand. It is high time we acknowledge this. Israel is not the aggressor, it is a brave little nation making up the frontline in an Islamic war that is increasingly spanning the globe. First, they came for the Jews, then they came for everybody else, the story of yet another world war.Read all of "First They Came For the Jews: The Story of Yet Another World War."
