AMERICANS: STOP LIVING DEFENSIVELY!

  • JIHAD THIS, BABY!



    So far, Muslims have their greatest victory over us by making us shift into defensive living with regard to them. We tread with fear of "offending" them, of inciting world-wide riots by Muslims against us, and of always trying to curry favor with irrationalists. We used to go about life, guided by our own thoughts and desires, and no defensiveness. It is our fault that we let them dominate our behavior. STOP IT! Americans do not live defensively! Let savages fear us!

  • History is philosophy teaching by example (Lord Bolingbroke)
  • The trouble with nations is that there is an unequal distribution of capitalism. (Rush Limbaugh)
  • Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear. (Thomas Jefferson)

South of us, the "Americas" oscillate between total disaster and complete disaster.  Overwhelmingly Roman Catholic for centuries and 100% tribalistic prior to Catholicism, these "Americans" find that they can rise only to the level of rearranging the deck chairs on their national Titanics.  Not that that bothers them.  Given the profound appearance of weakness by the United States since World War II, Central and South Americans find so-called "strong men" much more admirable, since those Nazis up and died.  The Americas, as everyone notes, are in a state of left drift.

The ring-side seat, however, is the match between Hugo Chavez and human liberty, which follows  Venezuela's nearly five decades of democratic history.:
