America, A Muslim Nation?


“There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without swords, without guns, without conquest. We don’t need terrorists; we don’t need homicide bombers. The 50+ million Muslims (in Europe) will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.” Muammar al-Gaddafi

Former President Bill Clinton has told an Arab-American audience of 1,000 people that the U.S. is no longer just a black-white country, nor a country that is dominated by Christians and a powerful Jewish minority.

In a speech to the group on Saturday, Clinton said that given the growing numbers of Muslims, Hindus and other religious groups here, Americans should be mindful of the nation's changing demographics, which led to the election of Barack Obama as president.

Clinton said by 2050 the U.S. will no longer have a majority of people with European heritage and that in an interdependent world "this is a very positive thing."


We fear terrorists. We fear that they will strike America again. It is only a matter of time. But do they need to do so to accomplish their mission to spread Islam throughout the world? Not so if Gaddafi is correct. Is President Obama correct when he says that we are not a Christian nation, that we are not a Jewish nation? While one suspects that he made such statements to woo the Arab world, does he know something we don’t? Does he foresee the future and is trying to make it easier on us? Is Bill Clinton correct?

The fact is, not just Obama and Clinton are saying this. The entire Muslim world and their clerics are saying it. And it sounds as though two of America’s presidents are willing to bow to such insanity.

Almost every country in the world is producing below the sustenance level required to keep their people from becoming extinct. Muslim Demographics It is so bad, in fact, that in many countries the trend is irreversible. Europe, for example, is increasing in population but not because of the birth rate of its indigenous people. It is increasing because of immigration, primarily that of Muslims whose birth rate is far above the 2.2 minimum number of children required per family to sustain and regenerate an indigenous people. When family size falls below that, a people and their culture begin to die. In less than 50 years, the European Union will be a Muslim state, and Europe, for all intents and purposes, will cease to exist. According to Clinton, it will happen here in just 41 years. If you just had a child, both he or she and your grandchild will live in a Muslim dominated nation. Will women be allowed to drive, teach, have jobs? Will they be required to wear burkhas? Will they have to die if their family sees something they perceive as dishonoring them? Will you see stonings in the streets? Will you see people with severed hands because they stole something? Will you see a rise in legal polygamy?

The Spanish have acquiesced to the Muslims by allowing polygamist marriages, something they previously saw as immoral and uncivilized. Paris has 200,000 polygamists. This and other trends such as honor killings have taken hold in many European countries with such intensity that they cannot be rid of them. There are now more Mosques in parts of Europe than there are Christian churches. And while Muslims work tirelessly to convert people to Islam, there are dire consequences for Muslims who convert to Christianity.

What is sustaining the American population? Immigration from Mexico of course. The Muslims believe they can overtake and dominate the world through immigration, procreation, population, and infiltration. It is interesting to note that many Mexican American leaders believe they can overtake and dominate America the same way. It is frightening to realize that when they do, America will be just like Mexico and the Middle East. In the throes of poverty, illiteracy, and fraught with drug cartels and militant radicalism, they will take civilization back to the 5th century.

Americans, Canadians, and Europeans are occupied with self. They want the good life, a bigger house, a better neighborhood, the BMW, the swimming pool, and 30 day vacations to Bermuda. They also want personal autonomy and less personal responsibility. One way to achieve that is to have less or no children. And besides, it is good for society to ration resources to maximize the longevity of the quality of life. If the population of America begins to match that of China and India, those resources that provide us the good life will become scarce.

Entitlements, welfare, union pensions, and a spiraling trade deficit have America in dire straits that many do not see or fully understand.

America has seen a paradigm shift in the past fifty years. The divorce rate is beginning to exceed the marriage rate. Single parenting and abortion are on the rise. A disregard and even disdain for our public faith and icons continues to grow. In my travels in many parts of the world, I can say that America has the fattest people in the world. There seems to be a lack of national pride and even self pride. Where did it go?

“The erection of a new government, whatever care or wisdom may distinguish the work, cannot fail to originate questions of intricacy and nicety: and these may, in a particular manner be expected to flow from the establishment of a constitution founded upon the total or partial incorporation of a number of distinct sovereignties. ‘Tis time only that can mature and perfect so compound a system, can liquidate the meaning of all the parts, and can adjust them to each other in a harmonious and constituent whole.” Publius

Several years ago doctors told patients with allergies that it would help their condition to move to Phoenix, Arizona. And it did. But as the years went by, Phoenix became a haven of pollens that now cause some of the worst allergies in the country. Why? Because those people with allergies who followed their doctor’s advise and moved to Phoenix brought their baggage, namely their pet plants, with them.

Another such similar thing happens when people from the west and east coasts, eager to shed themselves of the city and its fast paced and stressful life style, move to the beautiful and tranquil rural towns of the Rocky Mountains. They suddenly realize that the conveniences, such as unlimited amounts of water and electricity, they had previously enjoyed are either not there or are frequently disrupted. They bring themselves angrily to the town meetings, demanding that the services they were accustomed to be provided. Unhappily they find that small towns don’t have the funds for them to resume their cushy live styles.

And so it has become with much of America. People from other countries come here because some (apparently) seek prosperity, some seek liberty, and some seek relief from an oppressive and tyrannical government. Some seek violence against America. They did so in many other Western countries as well, to wit, England, France, and Denmark to name a few. But they brought their baggage with them and with it the demise of what they sought. Some refuse to assimilate, learn and speak English, abide by our laws, and expect what they have not earned. They expect America to change her ways to what they left behind. And with it they change America into what they, supposedly, wished to escape. Their baggage is full of pollens: Fundamental and radical religious practices that are oppressive and demeaning, cultural differences that are counter productive to life in America, and the idea that America should change to suit them. And now, with a vocal liberal faction and administration, the promise is being made that Americans will do just that.

The dictionary carries several definitions for the term Diaspora. The most common definition being the dispersion of the Jews outside Israel from the sixth century B.C, when they were exiled to Babylonia, until the present time. Another definition is the dispersion of an originally homogeneous entity, such as a language or culture. Americans fought for and built a language and a culture that saw them through 200 years of prosperity, unity, economic stability, and a fierce pride that made it the most wealthy and powerful nation on earth. It was dedicated to liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It was dedicated to allowing individuals to pursue their dreams. It did so partly by demanding personal responsibility of its citizens. One is rewarded by one’s efforts. At least we all hope for and believe in such a society, even if it is often run by corrupt leaders.

That is changing, just as our new president stated so many times during his campaign speeches. His administration caters to those who envision big government being the panacea to all their ills, where everyone is equal regardless of one’s efforts or one’s idea of personal responsibility.

Chaos is an attribute of human nature. The founders of this country understood that and tried with foresight and eloquence to enact rules that would, through the ages, hold chaos to a minimum. Morality cannot prevail without a certain respect for human nature. Understanding that utopia is not possible renders us secure. To dilute our culture, to make that which helps us maintain an upper hand available to our enemies, to try to appease them with obsequious gestures, to denigrate the military and those who continue to believe strongly in the ideals and values provided by our public faith will surely put an end to what we were and what we are.

A reverse or imploding diaspora may be an apt description of America today. Instead of being sent “out of”, we are being dispersed from within.

The Taliban have imposed their harsh brand of Islamic law in the Afghanistan under their control. The Taliban say their version of Islam is a pure one that follows a literal interpretation of the Muslim holy book, The Koran.

Under Taliban laws, murderers are publicly executed by the relatives of their victims. Adulterers are stoned to death and the limbs of thieves are amputated. Lesser crimes are punished by public beatings.

Yes, you say, but such abuses and barbaric practices are not a part of our culture. No? There were approximately 5000 honor killings in America over the past few years. Do Muslims believe in such brutality?

“An Egyptian Arab Muslim father in Dallas, Texas allegedly shot his two beautiful teenage daughters to death because he disapproved of their American-style ways. Their names were Amina and Sarah Said and their father’s name was Abdul Said. The girls looked sassy and full of life; they looked like Dallas teenagers. They were 17 and 18 years old and their friends considered them “geniuses.” Abdul was a taxi driver. (In parts of Europe, taxi drivers are known to aid and abet honor murders).
“Perhaps how Amina and Sarah dressed, and how they thought, shamed their father Abdul. He was no longer in control of his women—a mark of shame which provoked his need to kill them. Perhaps their flowering sexuality enraged him because it made him desire them—and from this he concluded that other men might desire them too and if he could not have them, no man could.”

“In the CBC documentary, a clear distinction was made verbally: "honor killing" is not an Islamic practice. One of the women interviewed also mentioned this. This is a cultural one. It was even mentioned there are Jews and Christians in Jordan who engage in this sick practice.”

But if you believe that, read what the second woman pictured at the top of this blog says about it in the second link below.

Shira law has found its way into England and Denmark. There are hints of following suit in this country, and of allowing schools to be disrupted 5 times a day for prayer to Allah, for atheists and Buddists to decry America’s public faith, for America’s melting pot to become more like oil and vinegar, for liberal ideals to convict conservative values as radical extremism, for allowing the vote by convicted felons, and for convicting those with any common sense who think one ought to be responsible for one’s actions.

And now, if you believe as your founding fathers did, we are labeled racists, radical extremists, and a danger to American society.

In the next blog, we will take a close look at Mohammad, the Koran, Sharia Law and how Muslims the world over are expected to follow its barbaric practices. We needn’t look at radical Islam. The moderate position is fearsome enough to American culture and values.

De Oppresso Liber


“The Statue of Liberty (originally called Liberty Enlightening the World (French: La Liberté éclairant le monde)) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and dedicated on October 28, 1886. The statue, a gift to the United States from the people of France, is of a robed female figure representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking the law) upon which is inscribed the date of American independence. A broken chain lies at her feet. The statue has become an iconic symbol of freedom and of the United States.” Wikipedia.

I am ex-Special Forces, better known to some as Green Berets. They have a motto that appears on most of the insignia they wear: De Oppresso Liber. It means: Free the Oppressed. It is an expression of the American psyche of wanting freedom for all, and in the case of the military, fighting for it.

Many would write: We are a nation of immigrants and the children of immigrants. We welcomed the world’s tired, poor, and huddled masses for decades. It inspired a Frenchman to design and build the prominent reminder in the most conspicuous place in our nation, New York Harbor, to pay tribute to that noble attribute of our character.

Statue of Liberty National Monument
Emma Lazarus’ Famous Poem
A poem by Emma Lazarus is graven on a tablet
within the pedestal on which the statue stands.

The New Colossus

Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

But that is entirely backwards!

Emma’s poem did, in fact, reinvent the statue's purpose, turning Liberty into a welcoming mother, a symbol of hope to the outcasts and downtrodden of the world as a result of a woman who was inexhaustible in petitioning to have the Emma’s poem immortalized some 17 years after the completion and dedication of the statue. While the statue’s intention was one of international republicanism and liberty, it became one of mass immigration.

The term ”immigrant” is often used incorrectly. For Americans to say that we are all immigrants or the children of immigrants is wrong. The original colonies were “settlers.” Immigrants were later inhabitants that were expected to conform to the institutions set up by the original settlers, our founding fathers. I am the great, great grandson of a man from Denmark. My relatives have left the Danish language far behind, and I know no one among them who now speaks it.

In the beginning, immigrants were primarily of European descent. But that has changed considerably over the decades (Specifically, since 1965). Now those from the Middle East, Asia, South America, Mexico and other countries make up the majority of immigrants.

In every country that I am aware of, immigration is a law enforced undertaking for myriad reasons. And immigration without respect for or not obeying the law is illegal by definition. But the legality of immigration is only a small part, and I venture to say, the least significant part, of what has become an increasingly grave problem. It is not simply a matter of the law in many cases.

A nation remains strong by its adherence to unity, cohesiveness, its shared values, and goals. E Pluribus Unum is not a fickle logo on our coins. Nor is “One Nation Under God.” While “From many, one” denoted the original 13 states answering to one government, it has come to mean far more. They are expressions of our exceptionalism. We have one language that facilitates not only our communication with one another, but binds us together as a holistic entity, with a common government binding us all. If one is a citizen, one needs to communicate in English. To not do so is an affront to one’s citizenship and to the American goal of our national unity and sovereignty: We-The-People.

Thus, one attribute of the problem appears to be assimilation. But is it not a symptom of something more sinister? Most ethnic groups immigrating to America are simply not assimilating, nor do they appear to have any intention of doing so. That tends to move us toward a growing factional ethnic diversity that pulls the nation’s cohesive structure apart. The result is a continual weakening of our country. Is that weakening intentional? And is it from within?

One has to wonder why the rush to become American or to migrate here. Of course, we think we know the answer. They have a three fold motive. Because the pickings are better here than where they came from, which begs a second part of that motive in the form of a question: Why do we have something that other, more depressed, countries don’t have? The second motive is illegal drugs. Because we buy them, they will do anything to sell them to us. Anything! The last motive is because they wish to infiltrate out country to do violence. But again, is this a matter of appearance and perception or something else? Why does our government refuse to do anything about it, to protect its own?

This rush to cross the border based on motive has increased on what was once a linear scale. But now, they are flooding the gates like a dam that has broken. We fund this invasion through our own tax dollars and a sympathetic shoulder as those who employ them feed off the slavery of oppressed souls.

The great majority of these people are not only oppressed but for the most part illiterate. But with help they can fill out a ballot. They are told how and for whom. They represent a huge potential voting block that will vote because they understand what it means to have an empty belly, cognizant of what it means to be oppressed, and they like the promises that are made to them. Unlike many Americans, they are certainly not apathetic, bathing in the fruits of some half forgotten laurel, riding the waves of their fortune in a bright, new BMW. They know that voting and radical activism will bring them closer to that same car. But … is that the real reason?

They are also aware (suspect) that America is soft if not cowardly. They know (believe) that America will not stand up for herself. Like a high school kid who arrogantly uses profanity to his teacher because he knows (discerns) there is no longer any accountability, Mexican nationals in this country defiantly parade the Mexican flag while burning the American flag. While they willing accept and use our tax dollars, they show a blatant disregard of us, for our laws, for our nation. Their disdain for us is more than apparent. A great many of them believe America owes them reparation, in fact, almost the entire south and west coast all the way to Oregon.

The flood is reaching epic proportions. There are basic considerations here. Are you willing to sacrifice your children for the good of those unfortunates from across the border? Helping the oppressed can be a noble undertaking. But is it noble to endanger and oppress your own family and fellow citizens in the process? And what is that danger? The quality of life of our youth is marginalized. Danger lurks with gangs, drugs, kidnapping, rape, murder, competition for jobs, and liberal concepts that weaken America. Will we allow them to take over the country in some desperate and miss begotten idea of De Oppresso Liber?

The flood of people from across the border is also undoubtedly an intentional act of both the Mexican and American governments. Revenue for the US as well as Mexico, both of whom need the income, continues the flow of the often illiterate and poor. This is advantageous for both governments. Because of this it emboldens those who live near the border to encroach on the US for various reasons, much of which is not only illegal but violent. While at the same time it dilutes our own hard earned standard of social and civilized quality of life. And the cost to the tax payers is tremendous.

While our government is willing to send hundreds of thousands of military troops half way round the world to fight in countries that are far from our borders, we allow our southern border to be overrun. Why is that? Are you getting it? Let’s use the trick of being obtuse to provide clarity.

One might ask the question “Do we exist?” A first year analytical problem for students of philosophy. We might confuse, by oversimplification, the issue by suggesting simply that we perceive things by sensory data, the argument resulting in the belief that we do, indeed, exist. But we know that things to do not exist in exacting forms. For example, a banana is yellow in the light but black or very dark yellow in the dark. Our perception of the banana changes. Without sensory perception, does the banana exist? The man who is color blind perceives the world around him differently from the man who perceives what he believes to be color. We are energy, yet energy is not matter. We are atoms and molecules between which is space. Regardless of the outcome of our fruitless analysis, we do perceive fright, anger, and danger and hope to react accordingly. Our perception of data is sometimes intentionally manufactured by external forces. Media, for example, purposely manipulates both the data input to our brains and the way in which we perceive it.

Perceptions of social issues can be applied by the intelligentsia in much the same manner, giving us the idea that things are not as we see them. We apply analogies, clichés, and such platitudes as “Eating the elephant one bite at a time until the elephant is gone.” In much the same manner, we believe we perceive what we cannot prove and, as well, believe it in some indescribable form.

Our own government is adept at manipulating what we perceive. The progressive left is as well. And the two have melded together. Of the six threats against the USA, much is allowed by altering our perception of reality. And that is an intentional key to our own demise.

We are told by the Republican Party and conservatives to leave social issues alone until we have changed the guard and gotten a handle on the economy. But in the meantime we allow another several years of other threats to dig in deeper and impose their will on our society.

This concept of social perception engineering will appear again and again as we look at the 6 threats against America. Political Correctness only touches the surface.

Johnson’s 1965 decision to sign the bill that eventually and inadvertently opened the flood gates to immigration is but one symptom of an underlying conspiracy to destroy traditional America. His bill actually was an effort to demonstrate America’s fairness. In fact, he specifically declared when signing the bill that the days of mass immigration were over. The bill was used by others to transform American society as we well see in another of the six threats.

The truth of the matter is that American opinion is severely manipulated.

Denial has no survival value.

Bling


It’s 2 am and I am at it again. Maybe it’s because I’m retired and the hours in the day aren’t as productive as they used to be. Maybe it’s because I’m obsessive compulsive. Whatever the case, my mind becomes fixated on things and begins to wander. Let me tell you what is on it this time … as if you cared,

It is on my grandchildren. Although to preface my remarks, I think the reason is a bit strange because most, if not all, will be adults when I am dead. Thus I seem to be caring about a future I will not be here to see. Maybe it is not so strange because I see the purpose of human life is to procreate, nurture, and provide for one’s own.

And that is precisely the reason I am up at 2 am. Alternatives keep rolling around in my head. But these alternatives only come to life by providing some background. So let me do that first.

One cannot deny that there are forces about that are hard at work trying to destroy the America I grew up in. And here I must confess the possibility of my naïveté. I see my life as one of immense freedom compared to that of citizens of other countries, of glorious potential for those who are willing to work hard for it, of common sense values and expression, of a haven of safety for me and mine. In a word, I am an exceptionalist. And I will also admit that I am of Anglo-Protestant stock. I am married to a Hispanic and have both Hispanic-Anglo and Korean-Anglo children. We all adopted one another, and we are all Americans.

I see us being under attack from several fronts. This attack is from without, but primarily from within. It is unrelenting, vicious, and will eventually be successful if the status quo of our defense is sustained. There is some evidence to believe that it will be successful even if it is not. The reason is simple: There are no real attempts at defense. In fact, just the opposite.

Which brings me, via a very circumferential route, to my point. I first became aware of a modern vernacular called Bling about 2 years ago. I had little idea what it meant, but after a time began to have a glimmer of its meaning by inference. It is window dressing. It is gaudy jewelry, flamboyant attire, façade.

I live and work in the south. Life here, for the most part, seems unaffected by what we hear on the news. Almost all the cars are new. Pickup trucks glimmer with expensive paint, little BMW and Mercedes cars have become common place. We have paved roads, concrete spiraling buildings, cafes, shops, malls, glitter. Nothing seems changed. It is affluent America as usual. It is bling.

Something is fermenting below the surface, hidden beneath the bling. Is it the illegal immigration problem that is costing America dearly? Is it the economy that is destroying lives elsewhere? Is it the tenuous market? Is it the myriad affronts on our Constitution? Is it the neo-progressive idealism of some utopian world order? Is it a government bent on becoming a behemoth that feeds on itself and all that it governs? Is it the underlying threat of Islam and its growing efforts to install Shari’a law? Is it the Jewish control of the media? Is the apathy of the Christian clergy to do nothing to rebel against the affronts upon it? Is it just a matter of the ignorance of people toward and about what is happening?

Below the surface there is decay. Let me use an analogy. Imagine a large concrete slab on ground. We walk on its surface and feel the solid stability of it under out feet. We feel secure. The surface is familiar and although not particularly attractive, it represents safety, something apart from the fickleness of mother earth. All is well. But unknown to us there is a void in the ground below the surface. Over time, the void begins to enlarge, bigger and deeper. The slab was designed to be supported by the ground upon which it sits. There comes a time when the slab cannot support our weight without the ground below it. Suddenly, and without warning, the slab fails under our feet, giving way suddenly, catastrophically. Bling. The slab was bling. It hid what was really going on. It hid the decay below its surface, an unseen menace.

How long does it take for the decay below the surface to result in failure? I have this feeling that my life will not change with catastrophic collapse. But I am afraid that my children and their children will be caught in a situation that they cannot control, that they cannot run from and cannot survive. For what we see on the streets and in the cafes and in the malls and all around us is bling, façade, surface tinsel, glittering with a relentless suggestion that all is well.

But some do see it, and some are doing what little they can about it. The question is whether or not it will have any affect. Let us, for just a moment, analyze the various and immediate alternatives. Let us, for simplicity sake, assume two opposing outcomes in the coming elections of 2010 and 2012. First, say the Democrats are able to retain control of congress and the administration, both of the nation and of the majority of the states. Second, let us assume the alternative, that is, that the Republicans win those seats, and in fact, conservatism is restored to the political arena.

The bywords of the struggle, such as Patriots, are good, but they do not represent reality. They represent hope. They are bling. Why?

Certainly, if the status quo of a Democratic majority run government retains power, this country becomes a socialistic state. It will spiral downward on a quickened pace. I think we all know that. Some like the idea. Some don’t understand it.

How much better is the situation if we are able to restore conservatism to the all the houses, both Federal and State? I will venture an educated guess: Almost none. Why? Because over the past 100 years the psyche of the American mind has been altered. We are not proactive in defending ourselves, but instead reactive. Because the American people have been made to be irrelevant. It no longer is an America of the people. Those in positions of power no longer listen to or care what the people want or think or object to. They are a club that listens to its peers, not its constituents.

I see 6 primary threats to our way of life and culture. I have ordered them as 1 being the least threat to 6 being the greatest … in my opinion. Some will disagree with the order. Some might add more. Unfortunately, a great many will not agree.

1. The pouring of significant numbers of illegal aliens across our southern border.
2. The infiltration of Islam and its credo to change all governments to Shari'a law.
3. The apathy of Americans and the failure of the clergy to rebel
4. The Jewish intellectual, entrepreneur, and media
5. The Obama administration and the liberal progressives behind them
6. The ignorance of the bulk of the American people. That is: Obama is the prince of fools.

Without resorting to the current set of buzz words, let us, in future, explore each in turn.
