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 |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
