Christian Clarity Review

excerpted from Wall Street Journal:OpinionJournal - Featured Article

Americans have debated matters of creed and culture before. John C. Calhoun believed slavery was a cultural given that could not be undone in the South. Lincoln knew slavery had deep roots–but he believed that could, and must, change. He set about to do just that. Lincoln believed slavery could be overcome because he believed human beings were constituted in a particular way. In the “enlightened belief” of the Founders, he said, “nothing stamped with the Divine image and likeness was sent into the world to be trodden on, and degraded, and imbruted by its fellows.” Lincoln believed as well that the self-evident truths in the Declaration were the Founders’ “majestic interpretation of the economy of the Universe. This was their lofty, and wise, and noble understanding of the justice of the Creator to His creatures. Yes, gentlemen, to all His creatures, to the whole great family of man.”

What has plagued the Arab Middle East is not simply, or even primarily, culture; it is antidemocratic ideologies and oppressive institutions. And the way to counteract pernicious ideologies and oppressive institutions is with better ones. Liberty, and the institutions that support liberty, is a pathway to human flourishing.

Critics of the Iraq war have offered no serious strategic alternative to the president’s freedom agenda, which is anchored in the belief that democracy and liberal institutions are the best antidote to the pathologies plaguing the Middle East. The region has generated deep resentments and lethal anti-Americanism. In the past, Western nations tolerated oppression for the sake of “stability.” But this policy created its own unintended consequences, including attacks that hit America with deadly fury on Sept. 11. President Bush struck back, both militarily and by promoting liberty.

In Iraq, we are witnessing advancements and some heartening achievements. We are also experiencing the hardships and setbacks that accompany epic transitions. There will be others. But there is no other way to fundamentally change the Arab Middle East. Democracy and the accompanying rise of political and civic institutions are the only route to a better world–and because the work is difficult doesn’t mean it can be ignored. The cycle has to be broken. The process of democratic reform has begun, and now would be precisely the wrong time to lose our nerve and turn our back on the freedom agenda. It would be a geopolitical disaster and a moral calamity–and President Bush, like President Reagan before him, will persist in his efforts to shape a more hopeful world.

Serious alternative: Blow and bull-doze the mosques. Dig up Mohammed’s bones and burn them in the carcess of a pig. Tell the Muslims to their face Islam is over. Kill the Imans and whoever else tries to keep it going. It is just that simple. If you don’t have the ‘will’ for it, step aside. You very obviously do NOT have the ‘will’ to kill Osama bin Laden, what with all the diplomatic nicities you are deceived are basic to all human interaction.

That you are ‘flabbergasted’ to even read that shows just how belligerent you are to be ignorant.

None of your non-creating words will stop Islam. Not even one. And you can’t stop talking. By your lie of free will: lead, follow or get out of the way.

“Freedom agenda”? That’s the best you’ve got? That is your Harvard, your Yale, your Princeton and your Georgetown Diplomacy Tech Institute education peaking through as a supposed superior ‘x’?
That’s it?

———–

The mouthpiece above is simply going on in the same belligerence of the President and his ilk: “Secularism (aka “freedom agenda”) is the answer and I don’t care what you say, how you say it, or how long you keep saying it isn’t: the answer is SECULARISM and MULTICULTURALISM!

They insult the very persons on whom they try to impose/enlighten within a new system of gov’t: “You were just simply too stupid to see that you should use your free will in such a manner as to give one citizen (and illegal immigrants via some mysterious fiat of ‘the economy THEY supposedly provide’) one vote.”

It isn’t whether the war has been won but whether a won war is working to prevent other wars. That a won war actually makes something else be Over and Ended. The won war and its extension war isn’t working expressly because those who see themselves as Mr. and Mrs. Policy Maker have made the Whole as anti-Christian as they possible could and tried to impose, er, ‘give’ a system of government they are genuinely deceived has nothing to do with Jesus Christ on those who loath Jesus Christ almost as much as themselves.

Period.

We are far beyond any real deception, ( even a broken mask that can be held up in pieces ), that those see themselves as Mr. and Mrs. Policy Maker are just suckers who were duped by moles from the other side posing as analyst and ‘friends’.

As they are all deceived they have free will and insist on the free will lie as a supposed foundation for all governance, within that lie, they are the biggest liars of all. And so proud of it as to ’see’ others who don’t ‘use their ‘free’ intellectual will the same way’ as backward and ignorant. One expected more from Republicans even as one always understands Democrats can’t be anything else.

Matthew 15:11-20 Not what enters into the mouth defiles the man; but what goes forth out of the mouth, this defiles the man. Then his disciples, coming up, said to him, Dost thou know that the Pharisees, having heard this word, have been offended? But he answering said, Every plant which my heavenly Father has not planted shall be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of blind: but if blind lead blind, both will fall into a ditch. And Peter answering said to him, Expound to us this parable. But he said, Are *ye* also still without intelligence? Do ye not yet apprehend, that everything that enters into the mouth finds its way into the belly, and is cast forth into the draught? but the things which go forth out of the mouth come out of the heart, and those defile man. For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witnessings, blasphemies; these are the things which defile man; but the eating with unwashen hands does not defile man.

In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
