Taking us down a treacherous path

Perhaps it is not a surprise, given the notion that many hold that we are not citizens of our nation, but global citizens, that we are walking a dangerous path.  The inescapable conclusion is that, whether consciously or unintentionally, liberals are defining a foolhardy worldview that will lead to the end of the nation that has allowed them the right to promulgate their foolishness.

This is probably nowhere brought into clearer relief than in the recent torture debate.  How many people may have vanished or been vanquished for the belief that we must fight a moral fight, that we must be kind to enemies who would destroy us?  How dangerous is the fairy tale that treating others in humane ways that they would not treat us will somehow insure our survival?  It leads to capitulation, not cooperation.

The bizarre kabuki theater in all of this is those who are now screaming most loudly about torture are those who cried most vociferously for someone, anyone, to defend them in whatever ways were necessary. Oh, the luxury of being safe in your bed, pulling the covers over your head and letting others fight the fight that keeps you safe.

There is little doubt that Jack Nicholson's tirade as COL Nathan Jessup was meant by liberals to be an awful and critical caricature of the mindset of those we task to protect us, making them look inhuman. Still, the kernel of truth is there.

Weasels, cowards, blowhards, self-righteous politicians and pundits, cowering in their hallowed halls, pushing others out in front of them like human shields, seeking only their own safety and security, later criticizing the means whereby those they task do their work.  They should all pick up a weapon and stand a post or STFU. They want rights and freedoms but lack the courage to defend them.

But this is the view of those who would blame themselves for others' misbehavior; crime, riots, and other lawlessness are the fault of those who have not decided to support the "less fortunate".  Terrorism and discontent are our own fault.  This is where they decide, in the name of some amorphous philosophy, to turn their fate over to those who would kill them with no thought.  This is where there notion of diversity and cultural sensitivity fails.  Quite simply their notion that all have won and all must have prizes will lead to their own culture being overrun and decimated in favor of other, less charitable cultures.

This is not an issue of ethnocentricity, that our culture is better and another worse.  it is an issue of survival and an ideology that allows murderous, dictatorial cultures to whom the notions of freedom and rights is anathema to flourish and eventually gain precedence, will be ground under. these cultures do not have a Bill of Rights, there is no freedom of speech or religion, there is only submission.
