WHAT IF CONSERVATIVES BEHAVED LIKE MOSLEMS?

Last month, the student newspaper of Australia’s National University, Woroni, was banned from publishing a satire of Islam.  It was clear why school authorities did so:  to avoid, as reported by the Canberra Times, "the potential for violent backlash."

In December, 2010, Marine Le Pen, leader of France’s third largest political party, Front National, said in a speech to her members:

"For those who like to talk about World War II, to talk about occupation, we could talk about, for once, the occupation of our territory. There are no armored vehicles, no soldiers, but it is an occupation all the same and it weighs on people."

She was talking about this, Moslem men clogging up streets in cities throughout France with their Friday prayers:

She was expressing the outrage felt by millions of French, so strong that less than nine months after her speech, a law went into effect outlawing Moslem street prayers in France.

That was under the government of Nicolas Sarkozy.  Today, the new government of Francois Hollande wants to put Marine Le Pen in prison for daring to compare the Moslem invasion of France to that of the Nazis.

We could go on forever citing examples of people capitulating to Moslem threats of violence.  You’ll get death threats for saying Islam is a religion of violence.  It is sickeningly, disgustingly immoral – and true.  Islam really in fact and undeniably is a religion of threats, violence, and murder.  It is an established tradition in Islam that an apostate (a Moslem who renounces Islam and converts to another religion) should and must be put to death in the name of Allah.

Here’s what’s also true.  The threats work, the violence works.  People are intimidated, from university administrators to politicians to intellectuals to newspaper and magazine editors.  Instead of rising up and beating Moslems issuing threats over their head with a baseball bat, or telling them to STFU and stick their fascist Koran up their nose, they cringe and capitulate.  Violence works.  Threats work.  Intimidation works.

It works so well that it could get conservatives to wondering if it would work for them.

For here’s something else that’s true:  All politics is based on violence.  Behind all the peaceful non-violent activities of people voting and electing politicians who peacefully assemble to pass laws which are then administered by bureaucrats sitting peacefully in their offices – behind all of this there’s someone with a badge and a gun willing and able to commit violence.

Now, nothing is stupider than pacifism.  There’s good violence – used in self-defense and to deter aggression – and there’s bad violence, the initiation of force.  We all love to read a news story about some geezer being robbed or burgled, who pulls out a Glock and blows the criminal away.

And just as stupid as pacifism is anarchism.  Without law and police with guns to enforce it, there is no such thing as ownership or property – there is only possession, which means there is no such thing as theft.  Without a military to protect us from foreign threats, there would be no such thing as national borders and any foreign force would be free to invade and seize our country.

Oh, wait… we are being invaded, and our southern border isn’t being protected, even though we have a trillion dollar military.  How can that be?

It’s because we are ruled by a president and a government that has no intention of protecting our national security.  That has no intention of protecting our economy and prosperity. That has no intention of protecting our individual rights and liberties guaranteed by our country’s founding documents. That has every intention of protecting and expanding its power and corruption and payoffs to its cronies, our Constitution be damned.

In short, we need a government and laws – but not this government with these laws, 78,000 pages of them in small Federal Register print.  This government is engaging in repeated injuries and usurpations against us to a far, far greater degree than any of King George III’s upon our colonist ancestors.

Yet this is not a call for a Second American Revolution, a national uprising to overthrow the yoke of Washington DC.  It is but a thought experiment, it is simply to ask a question:

What if politicians were as afraid of and intimidated by conservatives as they are by Moslems? 

It’s only a question, and certainly isn’t advocating action of some kind – particularly counter-productive action like terrorism.  Leave that to the Moslem crazies and suiciders.

It would be interesting, though – purely as a thought experiment – to speculate nf what would it take to scare the hell out of politicians, scared enough to make them start obeying the Constitution, abolishing the IRS, defunding most Federal Agencies, and throwing 80% (it’s a start) of the Federal Register in the garbage?

Here are three salient facts to assist such speculation:

1) There are more of us than them.  There are still more makers than takers.  Romney talked about "the 47%" who would never vote for him.  That’s still a minority, less than 50%.  We’re more than 50%.

2) We have more money than them.  We make money, they take it, they’re dependent on chicken feed government handouts.  Sure, there are a lot of crony capitalist millionaires rich with ripped-off taxpayer money – but not that many.  There are more of us with more money.

3) We have the guns – hundreds of millions of guns and billions of rounds of ammo.  The moochers don’t, not in anything like we have in quantity or quality or expertise in use.  Further, we have far more guns than SWAT Team goon squads, armed Education Dept. agents, and all the federalie agencies combined, by orders of magnitude.

Now, no one wants to even think of taking on the military.  They are the pros, the best the world have ever seen, they’re the good guys, and they’re sworn to protect us and the Constitution.  So let’s not go there in any way here.

That said, the question – and remember, we’re just asking questions – is how do we use these three facts to force politicians to straighten up and fly right?  How do we get them to be scared, really scared of us? 

Realize that the Moslems on that Australian campus didn’t commit any violence at all.  They just raised hell and intimidated the administrators who were scared that violence might occur – it was "potential," so they caved.

If conservatives could figure out how to intimidate like that, maybe they could actually accomplish something. 

The time has long past for complaining, the time has come for doing.  The goal, the bottom line, is that politicians, bureaucrats, and libtards in general have got to be frightened of us, pissing-in-their-pants scared.  They have trashed our country and are dedicated to destroying it.  We have to destroy them first.
