Surely someone had to object to the labeling of the most wicked system on earth as the 'ROP'.<br />The degree to which the POTUS pushed that ROP lie from hell (I mean it literally) is INEXCUSABLE to me.cjknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-54188234447972575612012-07-31T13:11:43.108+01:002012-07-31T13:11:43.108+01:00I accidentally erased one of AOW's comments.
...I accidentally erased one of AOW's comments.<br /><br />This is what it said:<br /><br />Always On Watch has left a new comment on your post "America Is Not At War Against Islam, America is At...": <br /><br />I was never on board with the GOP strategy.<br /><br />I always had a sinking feeling that something like this had been tried during the period of Islamic Spain -- not exactly the same as times were different, but something similar. THAT didn't work out, either.<br /><br />If we look at the history of Islam, we see over and over again the conviction on the part of Muslims. And they have always exploited any perceived weakness on the part of non-Muslims.<br /><br />In my view, both Iraq and Afghanistan are disasters as far as real democratization goes. Self-rule needs to come from the bottom up -- not the top down, particularly if from the top down involves interference on the part of infidels. <br /><br /><br /><br />Posted by Always On Watch to Infidel Bloggers Alliance at Tuesday, July 31, 2012 8:56:00 AMPastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-91531755060987707372012-07-31T09:04:14.943+01:002012-07-31T09:04:14.943+01:00Cjk,
I don't blame GWB as much as I used to.
...Cjk,<br />I don't blame GWB as much as I used to.<br /><br />Why?<br /><br />1. It's hard to recognize Islam for what it is. "Islam is just another religion" has been the meme in higher education since God-knows-when. At least prior to 1968, when I entered college and encountered that meme.<br /><br />Just look at courses in comparative religions! There's the proof of what I'm saying in this comment.<br /><br />That meme has also now infiltrated elementary through high school. I know because I get that meme from every below-college student with whom I discuss the topic of Islam!<br /><br />2. Because a similar attitude prevails all along the political spectrum.<br /><br />Now, I <b>DO</b> blame Karl Rove. He's supposed to know better! I can't imagine that he doesn't.<br /><br />Except for one thing....<br /><br />Rove was trained in his art by people who worked for Reagan. Back then, Communism was <b>THE</b> threat. Rove may be corrupt -- but he also may have blinders.<br /><br />One of the consequences of the fall of the USSR was the rise of Islam. <b>WHO</b> saw <b>THAT</b> coming?<br /><br />The West has always underestimated the threat of Islam -- until the West's back is against the wall and "bad things have happened to the point that denying the threat of Islam is an impossibility.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-42926578149738867312012-07-31T04:21:37.371+01:002012-07-31T04:21:37.371+01:00My comment above was directed at Reliapundit.My comment above was directed at Reliapundit.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-10683387773520220532012-07-31T04:19:03.106+01:002012-07-31T04:19:03.106+01:00I actually do agree with you. And, I also think so...I actually do agree with you. And, I also think some of this associatiing with Amamoudi's and Naseefs is likely "keeping your enemies closer".<br /><br />And, I agree that this strategy has not worked very well.<br /><br />I was on board with it at the time.<br /><br />I think what we have learned over time is Muslims will never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity.<br /><br />And, we can never underestimate the behavior of those who adhere to Islam. They will always find a way to go lower than we could have expected.Pastoriushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169561459129778670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-50772108468165764702012-07-31T04:16:23.355+01:002012-07-31T04:16:23.355+01:00It's getting to the point where I can't ev...It's getting to the point where I can't even look at a picture of a man I once respected.<br />Now I know how some of Joe Paterno's ex-admirers feel.cjknoreply@blogger.com
