A Jihad For All Seasons
We’ve commented before on the curious fondness so many of our URQ brothers and sisters have for living in a state of tremulous fear. Maybe they’re just adrenaline addicts; maybe they need a bit more actual challenge in their lives. But whatever the reason, they seem to take great delight in imagining themselves to be in constant, personal danger from an evil international conspiracy of Islamist bad guys.
Now, there’s no doubt that there are Islamist bad guys out there in the world, and some of wish us ill. But their capacity to do so is minimal, in part because of enormously heightened internal security across North America, and in part because these movements are largely isolated, poor, disorganized, and under increasing attack from international security agencies.
All life is about risk. We’re at greater risk of dying in a car crash or a lightning strike than by terrorist action. And yet a large percentage of our URQ friends (who presumably step into their cars every day without a tremor) are routinely reduced to a quivering mush by the prospect of their imminent demise in some form or another of “Jihad”. The most fearful seem to be the folks whose websites bristle with screaming eagles and guns and tough names, like kids dressing up as soldiers, apparently unaware that they’re doing precisely what the terrorists want them to do – they’re living in terror. And they get right surly if you suggest to them that perhaps they might be over-inflating the risk a bit.
How do they sustain this ridiculous level of unjustified fear? Well, in part, by affixing the JIHAD label to just about everything bad that could conceivably happen.
The term itself, in Islam, can be used to describe “striving to live a moral and virtuous life”, “spreading and defending Islam”, “fighting injustice and oppression”, and several other things. In fearful URQ-speak, however, it means WAR on ME, conjuring up waves of fiery-eyed, scimitar-brandishing terrorists sweeping down Main Street, Canada on Arabian stallions, impaling women, children, and leftists.
Now, one would think that the relative absence of such activity might tend to diminish the level of fear. Not so. In order to keep the Fear Factor peaking, our friends have done what any good marketing type will do, and introduced new Jihad product lines.
My favourite is the “The Personal Jihad”. This is what happens when a Muslim of any type goes postal, for any reason at all. Omeed Aziz Popal, a guy with a history of mental illness and a recent depression, drove like a maniac through the streets of San Francisco, hitting people. However, his car came to a stop within a half a block of a Jewish community centre. AHA! It was a PERSONAL JIHAD! Lock up your wives and daughters!
But why stop there? Why limit the fear? Heck, there are all kinds of opportunities for working yourself into a great anti-Muslim orgy of terror without the inconvenience of actually getting killed.
And guess what – they don’t actually have to involve Muslims at all! I present for your consideration JIHAD BY ASSOCIATION. When chronically depressed engineering student and bomb fetishist Joel Henry Hinrichs III blew himself up, it was breathlessly proclaimed a JIHAD by the Consperosphere (he had a Pakistani roommate, you know! And let us not forget Mark Lepine, the murderer who killed fourteen women at the Ecole Polytechnique. Yeah, he was baptized and raised Catholic. But his dad, who abandoned the family when Lepine was a kid, was Muslim. Let’s call it GENETIC JIHAD!
May I propose we all be vigilant for instances of VERBAL JIHAD, instances of rudeness from taxi drivers or convenience store clerks who look suspiciously dusky hued and have funny accents?
Or FASHION JIHAD, the vicious assault perpetrated on our society by folks who wear Muslim garb not to our liking? The sky’s the limit.
And speaking of the sky…hey, how about METEOROLOGICAL JIHAD? Every notice that they NEVER have hurricanes in Saudi Arabia? Think that’s a coincidence?
With the right attitude and enough imagination, friends, you can stay terrified for life.
You, Balb, are even now engaged in digijihad at this very moment.
Digijihad can be defined by the use of modern communications techonology like the internet as part of a broader attack on western values in an effort to erode and destroy the very underpinnings of our society.

AH, Like our ability to get porn from the tubes of the internets.
For me it’s all guys with beards not just jihadibeards.
I mean how can you tell what they are thinking with that foliage all over their faces.
It gives us clean shavers the willies I tell you.
And there’s no use saying “don’t be sceared it’s only a beard”
But you do so enjoy them being fearful. I wonder if your wise counsel is truly directed to their well-being.
My dear fellow, you stab me to the heart. (I thought about opening up by calling you a prick, but we have to save SOME needly comments for future exchanges). My sole concern is assisting them in maintaining the elevated blood pressure levels they so clearly crave.
Whoops, stop the presses. Right on cue Scenty, our absolute favourite Delusional Defender, has dished up a delightful new serving of raw paranoia. (Faithful readers will recall Scenty is the guy who fretted that a NORAD alert might mean an impending collision between the Earth and a giant asteroid, before learning that it was SOP during shuttle launches).
Yes, it’s BUSJIHAD!
A number of school busses have been stolen in a border town. A detective investigating the case says the stolen busses have probably been taken across the border and sold in Mexico. Not nearly exciting enough for Scenty, however, who concludes that Osama Bin Busdriver is preparing another attack.
I love this guy, I really do.
Incidentally, Scenty is now posting at an American site called the Center for Vigilant Freedom. For those of you who have been banned by Scenty for disagreeing with him too intelligently, it’s an excellent opportunity to renew your dialogue with one of the most original political thinkers this side of thorazine.
What’s vigilant freedom? Seems to me that if you need to be vigilant, then you’re can’t be that free. Unless they mean Vigilante Freedom. Aaah! Now that would make sense and fit right there with your Jihad theme.
I’ve thought about pointing that out to them…that Freedom, as a state or attribute, cannot exercise vigilance. But I’m not sure they’d take the observation kindly. Just a feeling.
The Canadian Sentinel has either been off reading old Glenn Beck transcripts or caught a re-run of Becks be afraid, be very afraid, “The Perfect Day” is coming show.
Beck was big on the whole school bus and school kids angle (from the bunker archives)
Unl;ess people are appropriately afraid how can they be properly controlled.
I think the URQs (and poor Scenty) are stealing their scripts from Clint Eastwood…this is pure Dirty Harry.
I wonder how CS managed to get on their blogroll? The guidelines specifically state
They’ve got a pretty loose definition of “substantive and rational” if what passes for discourse at The Canadian Sentinel meets it.
Their guiding principles also gave me a chuckle
Show of hands now, how many of us are still allowed to comment on his site?
Well, there seems to be a bit of a gap between the sites principles and the views of its participants. From the comments directly below the “principles”:
“THE WORLD IS TOO SMALL FOR TWO CIVILIZATIONS. ONLY ONE WILL WIN, AND IT MUST BE OURS!”
“We must MAKE THE WORLD BECAME THE GLOBAL WEST, OR THE WEST WILL DISAPPEAR. That’s it. No negotiations. No hudnas.”
‘I think rejecting ‘revenge’ is a stumbling block to understanding what it takes to fight an enemy. The only reason I am here is hatred and intolerance of what is threatening our nation. ”
This is all fairly in sync with Brother Scenty’s peculiar picture of the universe, and his place therein.
B:
You are a mean fellow.
I wonder if there isn’t some way to recognize a hazard without actually being governed by fear. Egad! Not…not…a middle ground! Something between “Lalalala I can’t hear you” and “All Muslims want to raze my house and soak the charred ground with my still warm blood”. Anything? No?
Perhaps we could ask some residents of London, you know, the “we are not afraid” crowd.
“You are a mean fellow.”
Not at all. Pulling the wings off flies is mean. Pulling the wings of flies with clinical delusions of eaglehood is merely assisting them in their difficult struggle with reality.
“I wonder if there isn’t some way to recognize a hazard without actually being governed by fear.”
Of course. It’s easy. One simply recognizes the hazard without actually being governed by fear. Like we do, here.
Well I am still technically allowed to comment on his site, although I am finding that a lot of my comments are no longer getting thru moderation. I think Scenty knows he can’t ban me since I haven’t been rude or used foul language, so instead he’s being passive-aggressive and just not letting my comments thru. It’s OK though – you can only “debate” with him so long before you find yourself at the bottom of the bottle.
Scenty’s blog has been rather entertaining lately as Dodson demolishes him day after day. Gotta admire Scenty though. He stumbles from stupidity to stupidity without blinking an eye. But, to have Balb cutting Scenty new orifices on “Centre for Vigilent freedom”…Priceless.
I must admit, it’s very liberating to be able to engage once again…and with an actual audience slightly larger than “Gayle”, “Tony Guitar”, “Jana” and Scenty’s peanut gallery of sock puppets. Peter, you really should check it out.
I’ll check it out Balb. Bets on how long you get banned for being a pro-communist, paid propagandist with a staff full of researchers?
Well, Scenty’s already gone on a couple of Scenty-esque tirades (very funny in that setting, I must say); one of the site operators has labelled me a “contrarian” (which I guess means “someone who disagrees with the site operator).
I originally started haunting extreme URQ blogs because I wanted to find out how those folks think. This site is a very interesting window into a more mature vision of the demon-haunted world Scenty lives in.
Blogs help keep you nutcases off the streets. The more time you fucked-up leftards spend saying stupid and insane things on blogs, the less time you spend on the streets scaring sane people and getting in their way.
Blog on, dudes! Order in! Stay home all the time and everyone wins!
Phew. Busy week on the Jihad front. First there were those two Airborne Jihadis that crashed their piper cub into that building in BC. Then a Jihadi cashier at the grocery tried to overcharge me – she pretended to be blonde, with a Newfoundland accent, but I recognize Jihad when I see it.
Wel, excuse me. I’m off to do some research on the Great Cheyenne Jihad Against the Seventh Cavalry. (After all, the Cheyenne were brownish and not Christian…it’s obvious, and only the overwhelming Islamofascist bias of our historians and media have kept the Battle of the Little Big Horn from being recognized for what it truly was.)
You have to have to give Scenty full marks for self confidence.
I found this gem posted yesterday on SDA:
———————————————————————–Politically incorrect, and explosively so, weekend reading for those with the time.
I make an ironclad case against abortion… my science is sound, the logic perfect, and doubt is impossible unless one is insane, stupid or worse. I prove beyond all doubt that we are all human from the moment of conception, and explain how “right to choose” is an evil, hateful euphemism for murder, period. Only a fool would deny what I say here
———————————————————————–
And humble, too.
You are a bunch of stupid fools.
What’s the matter with you?
Why are you fucking assholes so stupid? Does being stupider make your dicks harder or your twats wetter??
Is stupidity an aphrodisiac? Does it cure impotence?
Stupidity is so attractive and addictive to you morons that it must be like a drug.
You’re just like the Democrats in Congress and the Senate.
No, scratch that. You’re even worse than they are.
Either get help or don’t bother getting out of bed anymore, please.
Wow -is Robbie looking to cure a problem of his?
Can you help, Ian?
You’re obviously very stupid. So I figure…
You guys must be like those Viagra addicts, walking around pointing your peters all the time, cause you’re stupid all the time. Shit, fuck. What freaks.
Must cause problems, having a boner all the time.
Why else be so stupid all the time? There must be a compelling reason!
I see “moderation” is on. You must not like me much, I guess.
Who cares? You’re a bunch of stupid assholes anyway.
I’d rather sit on a hill of garbage and be shit on by gulls than try to talk to you morons anyway.
Go ahead; delete my comments. See if I care.
I just wanted you to know that some people think you’re fucked in the heads.
Oh, I see, despite your famous claim to never delete any comments, you deleted my other comment.
Well, delete this:
You’re fags. Faggots. Queers. Probably having a nice circle jerk right now. Try not to get any goop on your mouse.
Have a nice day.
Interesting that those over at SDA are having a field day over some comments the Old Repentant Hippie made about Intelligent Design, holding it up as a sign of the left’s intolerance. I wonder how Robbie feels about that. You know, intolerance.
Dear Ms. Coulter:
Let me first say what an honour it is to have you comment here at Stageleft. Now, I realize that in the past we’ve characterized you as a cancerous, vicious, hatemonger whose vapidity is exceeded only by (a) your vulgarity, and (b) your willingness to do/say anything that will sell books.
But rest assured, our “famous claim to never delete any comments” stands. A comment from you posted in your “Robbie” persona (no need for that, Ann, we recognize your scintillating intellect) ended up in automatic comment moderation (a function of Akismet Spam Trap), and has now been restored. Your witty repartee and brilliant analysis are now restored to their full glory.
Thanks again, and we look forward to your future contributions.
Trolls? Here? Crap! Worse still. A Robbie troll, and we all know what they’re like.
Now I gotta go reset the wards and sacrifice another cabbage… are you getting this Robbie, another cabbage has to die because of you, I hope you’re happy.
I see the author of the insane post is upset about my comments re. his unfortunate ED condition.
Apparently, Mr (or is is Ms.?) Balbulican, you have to keep trying harder and harder to get stupider and stupider so that you may once again enjoy having your dinkie double in length from one inch to two inches. Your boyfriends will love it. Is Peter one of them? Hiiii, Peter! Love your shoes!
Oh, wait! It’s possible that your ED condition is permanent and incurable. I’m so sorry!
Me… Ann Coulter? Whatever on earth makes you think Ann Coulter would deign to grace a pathetic little Canadian blog run by a group of brain-dead liberal sodomites?
You aren’t only stupid as stupid does. You’re crazy as fuck to boot. You could give Cindy Sheehan lessons!
Ann Coulter! You are a priceless old queen, sir!
Have a gay old time with the circle jerk, happy boys!
Balb,
Whatever you are doing, keep it up. This stuff is gold. Come on make Robbie post some more stuff. I’ve never laughed so hard!
Upset?
Heh. Nah. We enjoy stuff like this. The contrast with the usual folks here is refreshing…and so illustrative of the quality of thought on the other side. Normally we have to go to Scenty’s site for illiterate abuse. Now…home delivery!
Thanks, Ann. You’re always welcome here.
Mike:
I’m doing my best. Work with me, dude…see if you can get Scenty even angrier. It’s fun when you hit a nerve, isn’t it?
I must have scrubbed my keyboard for an hour. God, Scenty in full rant is real fucking entertainment. Who could make this shit up?
Bahahahahaha! “HanniBalbulican Lecter”!
Quid pro quo, Clarisse!
Bonfire of the insanities…
Robbie knows how to excite moonbats.
First they think a commenter is Ann Coulter. Then they think it’s someone else. Wonder how this happens. Who will they think it is next?
Delusion redefined! This is fucking platinum shit!
Oh, it really IS Ann Coulter. I can tell by the IP. We still correspond occasionally, but she gets totally weird whenever she has a new book coming out, and I don’t take her calls. Then she starts popping up here, stalking me under pseudonyms and slinging insults like a six year old in a tantrum. It’s embarassing.
We used to date. This was years ago. It was doomed from the start and I knew it. But sometimes you think, maybe I could make a difference in this person’s life, you know? Maybe with kindness and compassion I can bring her round. Well, I was a fool. You just can’t change some people.
Ann. You know I’m married. It’s over, okay? Please deal with it. Get on with your life and let me get on with mine.
Hooooo…
What a nutcase. Believing that someone like Ann Coulter is aware he exists, let alone would stalk him. Let alone used to date him.
What next? You’ll claim you play poker with Elvis every Tuesday and Thursday nights?
Don’t worry Balbulican. I’m sure Ann won’t bother you anymore, as long as you tell yourself she has stopped. I’m sure she read your message to her and will get the hint.
I also agree with what Robbie said. You guys are fucked in the heads. I just had to read your post above and comments left by people on other posts. That told me everything I need to know.
You Canadian liberals are really a bunch of fucked-up assholes.
Now, Ann…let’s be civilized. I know the pain you’re going through. Heck, I’d be kicking myself too if I had let me slip through my fingers. But the past is the past.
I’m being serious now, Ann. As long as you keep obsessing, you’re never going to be able to find another relationship like the one we had. For your own sake, try to let it go.
(On a personal note…it’s really not very discrete to let the world know that you used to get off on dressing up like a terrorist and having me call you “Carlos”. That was private. Keep it up, and I’ll tell everyone about your George Bush Butt Plug.)
http://ifuckedanncoulterintheasshard.blogspot.com/
I thought that was you Balb.
HAHAHAhahahahahahahahah!
Priceless…utterly priceless.
You tell them Robbie! So many of us Canadians have been waiting for someone like you to come along and tell them leftist assholes off!
Coulter rules!
Sob. Yes…she did rule. I was her Austria, she was my Stormtrooper. “”Änschluss me”, she used to moan, Änschluss…”
Let’s not start waxing too nostalgic there b, some of us remember what those days were like with a more realistic view to things.
Didn’t you notice how conversation just seemed to stop when you and she entered the room? How treehugger and I would suddenly get interested in the latest Xinhua newscast… have you really forgotten? Ucomfortable does not not quite describe those days does it?
Have you forgotten what happened when Lily found her in the bunker? Stumbling around in the dark, a mug of mead in each hand, blind drunk, and singing some crazy mixed up version of mine eyes have seen the glory and The Battle Hymn of the Republic? Gods, some of the bunkerettes are still having nightmares.
What about the time she tried to scrub down the murals in the Bunker Hall of Heros? The restoration crew is still working on that one aren’t they?
– and what about Max, huh? How did she treat Max? The Revolutionary Women’s Battalion (White Tiger Platoon) has never forgiven her for those words b, they meant what they said and I’m not sure Max could save either of you should her shadow darken the door once again…… should she even want to.
Let the past be the past b, we wouldn’t want to, but if we have to unsubscribe from the Fox News channel again we will.
Shit, you guys really are freaks.
“JJ”: Well, I’ll say this: You are very, very special. Lesbo, right? Munch much muff?
“Don”: Who is this, the token retard? Does this guy have Tourette’s or something?
“Peter D”: What the fuck, a Canadian Ward Churchill?
The more I look at real-life liberals, the more I’m proud to be right and Republican.
Allright, Ann/Carlos. Have it your way. You’re clearly finding it impossible to let go. And given that it’s about me…well, I can’t find it in my heart to blame you.
Is this about the visitation rights to little Che? the Ronald Reagan three-speed special Swedish appliance? Or do you still cherish the foolish hope that what we had together can ever be reborn?
Can’t shake the delusion, can you, Balbulican? You poor, weak, sick fuckfreak.
I am not Ann Coulter, you dumbfuck.
BubbaClinton lying about fucking Ann Coulter? BubbaClinton first lie and say he showed no one his newborn shrew and didn’t have sex with that woman Monica, now BubbaClinton lie and say he did have sex with that other woman? Shitfuck, that is fucked-up like fucked-upness never before seen! Fucked up BubbaClinton done raised the bar on fuckedupness!
I see many liberals claiming that they fucked Ann Coulter. How fucked is that, hating someone but claiming they fucked them? Sane people would deny it, but BubbaClinton not sane.
Fuckedness like that fucked up shit BubbaClinton says about having fucked Ann Coulter is to be expected from fucked up fucks like BubbaClinton.
Fuck, huh? Is that fucked or what?
Canadian liberals are surely fucked up as fucked up can possibly be. Just like American liberals are fucked up.
Fucked up people everywhere.
Feeding the trolls. More evidence of how stupid and fucked up you guys are.
Carlos – “Munch much muff?” Say that 3 times as fast as you can. Whee!
No Carlos, I’m not a lesbian… yet. But the more I see guys like you, the better it looks.
Balb, just who is it that you think is so frightened? And, btw, what is URQ? There are websites that spout about imminent danger, politicians and newsfaces that natter on about how unsafe we are, and all of these have agendas. The “ordinary” folk are much more insightful than these yappingheads apparently understand. Most of the people we know didn’t feel endangered on 9/11 and don’t now. I think most Americans have gone about the business of getting on with their lives quite calmly. The kicker is that we all believe that there will be one or more future attacks on us – somewhere in this country. And still, we go about our everyday lives. I know you say it’s more complicated than we think to mount an attack, and on a large scale it is. But it’s not THAT hard to blow up things. McVeigh proved that. The thing is, that even believing we will be attacked, there is no outpouring of hatred from most Americans towards the Muslims living among us. There are no riots in which mosques have been destroyed. I think if fear were as pervasive as you seem to think, there would have been some retaliation against Muslims (other than the government sanctioned retribution).
Excellent points, Karen.
Watch the liberal radicals contort and distort. The truth is to them as a pinprick is to a worm.
The can’t bear to have it shown to them that they’re wrong, that there’s no fear of Muslims in general, no hatred, no “phobia”. They just want to believe in these things, despite there being no evidence to support their own apprehensions!
Liberal radicals don’t want to face the truth. They’re veritophobic to a crippling degree.
They help facilitate Kuffarphobia and Kaliphobia.
Farting Kitty farts on the liberals! You go, Kitty!
Excuse me. I meant to write “kalifascism” rather than “kaliphobia”.
Allow me to explain the definitions.
KALIFASCIST – a person who wishes to establish a worldwide Kalifate by fascistic means. Generally a Muslim, but increasingly also a Western politician who styles him/herself as a “liberal”
KUFFARPHOBE – a Muslim person who seeks to establish a worldwide Kalifate (Caliphate) thereby abolishing all non-Islamic culture and beliefs and imposing Sharia law
KUFFAR – a pejorative, or insulting, expression used by Muslims to describe a non-Muslim
Good people everywhere oppose fascism, including kalifascism.
Please read at the following link for more information, including about an upcoming demonstration in London, England, against kuffarphobia and kalifascism.
http://sioeengland.blogspot.com/2007/10/stop-kuffarphobia-demonstration-london.html
The post above these comments, authored by “Balbulican”, is kalifascist.
“I am not Ann Coulter, you dumbfuck.”
Now, Ann…don’t forget, we see your IP number here.
There’s no reason to deny the passion that still burns in your heart. The whole world can see how bitter than denial has turned you. Honestly, and all kidding aside, Ann, I think you need to be more honest with yourself: acknowledge and cherish what we once had, that’s a good thing: but know that in your heart, you have to let me go. Okay?
“Balb, just who is it that you think is so frightened?”
Karen, folks like this and this and this.
In other words, the folks who scream and run for a gas mask every time someone farts – and thinks you’re a fool and a traitor for not sharing their panic.
And, btw, what is URQ?
Upper Right Quadrant. Here’s the link.
“There are websites that spout about imminent danger, politicians and newsfaces that natter on about how unsafe we are, and all of these have agendas. The “ordinary†folk are much more insightful than these yappingheads apparently understand. Most of the people we know didn’t feel endangered on 9/11 and don’t now. I think most Americans have gone about the business of getting on with their lives quite calmly.”
Absolutely. Which is why I find it ironic that the fearmongers seem so eager to assist the terrorists in promoting terror. I’m not talking here about “Americans” or even “Republicans”, the great majority of whom are entirely sensible people. I’m talking about the terror junkies who have created some bizarre, self-vindicating world of fear and conspiracy for themselves.
“The kicker is that we all believe that there will be one or more future attacks on us – somewhere in this country. And still, we go about our everyday lives. I know you say it’s more complicated than we think to mount an attack, and on a large scale it is. But it’s not THAT hard to blow up things. McVeigh proved that.”
And if that weren’t true, you’d be the ONLY country in the world where there was no possibility of a terror attack…and that’s ALWAYS been true. In Canada, in my lifetime, we’ve experienced two or three major terrorist incidents, depending on how you choose to define it (none of which involved Islam). Terrorism has been part of Europe’s political landscape for centuries. It’s a fact of life. We need to fight it, contain it, minimize our risk. But not at all costs, and not based on a completely irrational, crippling fear.
” The thing is, that even believing we will be attacked, there is no outpouring of hatred from most Americans towards the Muslims living among us. There are no riots in which mosques have been destroyed. I think if fear were as pervasive as you seem to think, there would have been some retaliation against Muslims (other than the government sanctioned retribution).”
I’m mocking the delusional extremists, Karen, not the average American. But the delusional extremists are trying very hard to convince the average American that their Muslim neighbour, friend, or employee is a traitor. I find laughing at that folks easier, and probably more productive, than arguing with them.
Heh. Scenty, you were funnier as “Cathy Fong”. Do that one again. Unfortunately, Karen is actually a friend from Texas who knows us rather better than you do.
I like your little glossary, though. It’s cute. Reminds me of the secret club we had when I was eight. “NO GURLZ!”
Is CS suffering from multiple personalities again? He did start a new website a while back under the guise Canadian Infidel. Wow, must be hard to keep up with so much craziness.
I know, I loved it. He was actually having discussions with himself on Sentinel. Thank God, most of the time he seemed to agree with what he was saying.
Balbulican has failed to prove that there is any fear, any hatred of Muslims by any more than a very tiny minority of people.
His post is clearly delusional.
If there is any fear and hatred, it is evidenced in his post, directed towards rational people who wish to speak as to the very real danger of Islamic extremism.
It’s clear to me that he is a kalifascist. He is facilitating the infiltration of Islam into the West with his dangerously stupid, “don’t worry, be happy” writing.
No evidence offered to suggest any epidemic of fear or hatred towards Muslims. His readers should be demanding he show concrete evidence, and a lot of it, but they really couldn’t care less. They aren’t serious.
There is no evidence. This person only sees frank, rational, well-supported dialogue regarding the threat environment vis-a-vis Islamists and their intentions towards the West as “fear and loathing”.
People like Balbulican obviously prefer to pretend that 9/11 didn’t happen, or that it doesn’t mean anything other than it happened, period. Stupid.
There is no point trying to talk to people like this. Complete waste of time. They’re deathly afraid of truth, evidence, reason, logic.
Most of the people who post here are apparently not serious people. They don’t take serious matters seriously.
They will be amongst the first to suffer if ever the West falls to Islam. They will not be respected by the Muslims. Fundamentalist/radical Muslims tend to look down very contemptuously on nonserious, foolish people, after all.
Did anyone see a huge irony in John’s first sentence?
Yes, Balb, Kitty did NOT fart in your direction.
Your point-by-point reply to my comment was excellent. It’s why I love visiting here. It’s possible to have reasoned discussion (except for the occasional troll).
There have always been people who let hate and fear control their lives. It’s somehow necessary to their emotional make up. Before Muslims, Americans were supposed to hate Communists. Before that, Japanese. Next, it will probably be Chinese – or Canadians (I hope not!). The vast majority of Americans will do as they’ve pretty much always done, ignore the fear fanatics. It has always seemed to me that most Americans are fairly centrist.
It has always seemed to me that most Americans are fairly centrist.
I figger most Merkans are like most Canajuns. They got jobs an’ kids an’ hobbies an’ churches an’ clubs an’ sports an’ pets all lookin’ fer a piece o’ their time. They got bills an’ rent an’ mortgage payments an’ taxes an’ charities all lookin’ fer a piece o’ their purse. Fer probbly a majority of North Merkans, politics ain’t an important thing.
What’s “centrist” an’ what ain’t, though, always depends on what you consider to be the centre. When somebuddy calls a sitting Democrat Rep or a sitting Liberal MP a “leftist,” I reckon that somebuddy’s idea of centre is further to the right than my idea.
This is where that there Political Compass comes in handy with it’s self-assignment to URQ, ULQ, LRQ or LLQ.
Most people probbly at least believe they are centrists. Where exactly centre is located varies, though.
KarenGal, I give you full marks fer curiosity, courage and intellect. Yer a credit to Merka an’ to Texas… just like the Dixie Chicks.
JB
Thanks, Karen.
As a bonus, you get a guest appearance by Canadian Sentinel, providing you with a first hand answer to your first question: “Balb, just who is it that you think is so frightened?†And you also get a sample of the weird mental processes necessary to protect that terrified world view. You’re quite right – the vast gap between the first sentence and the rest of the note almost transcends irony, doesn’t it?
Scenty, just so you know – Karen’s a tough Texas lady with a shotgun in her bedroom and not much tolerance for bullshit. She speaks for Americans with common sense, in my opinion. You don’t even come close. And if you want to call her a “dhimmi”…you’d better watch your tongue, son.
(Blushing, toeing the floor) Aw, you guys are so nice.
Are you serious – did the question get answered on CS? I’m afraid to look.
JB, centrist means to me that people fall neither to the far left or far right. There’s a lot of room there, which means there will always be some disagreement on issues of importance. The American system of government was built on compromise, which makes no one entirely happy or entirely unhappy. But it has worked. It seems to me to be one of the elements that’s missing in the current political climate.
“Are you serious – did the question get answered on CS?”
The question got answered BY CS, writing above as “John”.
Well Scenty blew it with comment #59. Classic CS. Throw in the words delusional, rational, reason and logic and then go from there, most of time, ignoring what those words really mean. Hey CS – how do you keep up with all these personalities? Why not post as yourself? Afraid or something?
Actually, the giveaway for me (apart from the general tone, the absence of data or actual argument, and the querulous, inarticulate stream of ponderous playground harangue) was number 53, in which Scenty defines some clumsy neologisms for us which he has just proudly brandished on his back home on his website.
For me, the dead give away that it was Scenty was #52. The Kitty fart bit was pure scenty and his usual skat fetish.
Meanwhile, over at the SnotGun, the very small minority are running in terror from Muslim, Female Bus Drivers.
With every sentence “John” wrote proved Balb’s point. LOL.
Quick tip: if you want to get under the skin of your local lefties, keep in mind “queer” and “lesbo” aren’t exactly insults.
For the folks who sincerely don’t believe that there’s a world of URQs out there shitting their pants: read the comments in this thread.

Thanks for that link. I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.
Pretend none of it is real. Excellent approach! Very impressive!
Spread the word: It isn’t real. Good work! You make our job easy!
I love dhimmis!
“Pretend none of it is real. Excellent approach! Very impressive!”
Oh, dear. I guess I need to break it down a bit. Let’s start with an easy exercise.
Islamo-Fascist, can you distinguish between the following two sentences?
a) ” You must be very careful in dealing with matches”.
b) “Oh my God! A MATCH! The whole world is going to catch fire and explode and kills us all! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!”
When you can distinguish between those two sentences, we’ll move on to lesson 2.
[...] Freedom, an American litterbox populated by the kind of panicked, racist American coward discussed here (plus, of course, Scenty the Terror-Stricken). Good morning. I am writing to request clarification [...]
Wow, thank God for their vigilance.
I lack the mental or intestinal fortitude to maintain my vigilance for too long (although I hear theres a pill for that now). Good to see so many fine folks standing up for freedom and democracy!
I really want that warm and fuzzy feeling I think those kinds of people get when they type this filth and his the “Say-it” button.
