We are at war, whether we want to admit it or not. Not a war of nation against nation, but a war of ideology and culture.
Freedom: to worship as we please, to eat what we please, to do as we please so long as we harm no one else... this is being attacked.
Freedom has one enemy with many faces, and it's made for some interesting allies:
. the "PC" crowd demands compliance by "outlawing" certain words, phrases, and terms. They decry "profiling", "trigger words", and the like to force conformity.
. radical Islamists demand conversion to their moral and behavioral code, and use murder, terror, and the threats thereof to enforce conformity.
Examine your "friends", for once the greater enemy has been eradicated, the lesser is next. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
