Goldi-Lox has banned aristeides.

I completely understood Goldi-Lox’s motivations for banning me. I frequently expressed the opinion on Libertypost that the Israeli lobby and Americans that place the interests of Israel above the interests of the United States are a threat to our nation and to our government as defined by the Constitution.

However, banning an individual like aristeides defies explanation. Aristeides has honorably served his country in uniform and believes strongly in America.

As an individual with an impressive educational background and professional expertise, he was able to post his insight and informed opinions on a variety of issues. He brings quality to a forum and that is what brings participants. You can watch CNN and FOX for 24 straight hours and not see one commentator or guest that matches the intellect or the gift for analysis that aristeides brings to the table.

Fortunately, there is a forum that provides a meeting ground for individuals that love this great country and the United States Constitution. I look forward to continuing to learn from aristeides' contributions.

If Israel is to survive, it will need to go it alone. There is not enough guts remaining in the rest of the politically correct world to confront the march of islam.

That is about the best summary of the situation I've seen.

Personally, I have a personal mindview of a bunch of masked hooded men working deep underground to create a nuclear bomb. Once tested and proven, the very first nuke off their assembly line will very shortly find itself launched at Tel Aviv...with more to follow. I see them in my minds eye as posting a map of Israel on the wall, with a target drawn on Tel Aviv. The Map reads, Phase 1. There are more nukes sitting below the map with the various cities of Israel written on them.

Secret map makers are stirring a cauldren of evil, and more nukes are swimming in it like vegetables in a soup. Each one has the name of an American City. The Cauldron reads, Phase 2.

This nightmarish vision must never happen!

And as you've stated, the only way that seems to be open to stopping it is Israel, and their brave soldiers who will lift this burden and evil from us all.

But at what cost?

That she has the chutzpah to criticise anything for being "politically correct" is a riot in and of itself. I really wouldn't give a shit about what goes on there except it's a reflection of what is happening in society at large. PC is social marxism, and it's no surprise these "new" "conservatives" are completely immersed in that mindset as long as it works to their advantage. They go to a lot of meetings to learn to spin things, whereas I just try to remember old Ed Sullivan shows.

Although the first inquisitors got to work a few months after the decree, it was not until 1487 -- when Tom?s de Torquemada, a Spanish Dominican monk, was appointed Grand Inquisitor -- that the Inquisition got its bloody reputation. Torquemada - who was descended from Jewish converts to Christianity some time back (though he certainly did not have a Jewish mother) - outdid the worst anti-Semites with his brutality.

But they did get the Muslims out of Spain. Was this their 10th or 11th false flag op?

BTW, my spanish daughter-in-law tells me that according to spanish history, the cities/homes/buildings left behind by the Muslims were pristine clean (well by 12th century standards).

Oh, that reminds me. I once was in a restaurant that was both chinese and arabic food, the result of a marriage. I remember parking my car almost too near a man just laying out his prayer rug around the dinner rush hour; right in the parking lot (but not over the oily bits), angled just so.

She may have apologized for those words, but she clearly still feels that way by allowing a poster "packrat????" to continue to be on the board after he stated he would have no problem pushing a button to kill all Palestinians. His post is still on LP today, and he is still posting there. Goldi-Lox knows all about it, she suspeneded me for bringing it to her and other posters attention before banning me.

I have no doubt at all that she still feels that way, and that her apology was essentially hollow, or maybe she was more sorry about the consequences of being called on those words than for actually saying them. Her one defense was that she posted that after a bus bombing in Israel that killed a lot of kids and she posted out of emotion. A tendency she has to do often, actually. But I don't think she cares about the lives of Lebanese/Palestinians. Innocent or guilty, adults or kids... I think it's clear what she hopes for them all.

There is not enough guts remaining in the rest of the politically correct world to confront the march of islam.

This sort of statement amazes me. That anyone can say something like this is proof of the effect of propaganda and the utter lack of reasoning skills in most of the US publik skool educated populations.

The "March of Islam"? Let's break that down. What are the assumptions behind that statement? Well, the first staggeringly stupid simplictic moron assumption is that there is a unified movement called "Islam" marching across the world. Often ones sees members of the Pee Pee Pant brigade like this poster talking about this guy called "Islam". He is always up to no good.

Now the people who are Moslem are about a billion. They span a hundred plus ethnic groups, tribes, ethnic groups, races, and speak dozens of languages and dialects and are further divided along national borders and sectarian spilts within "Islam". They are spread out from Morrocco to the Polynesians- about 5 or 6 thousand milies. On top of that "Islam" is the most decentralized religion in the world. It has no universally recognized heirarchy and no priesthood. An "Imam" can be anyone with enough money to start a Mosque or savy enough to get others to build one for him. One Imam's "fatwa" has no meaning to another and NO MOSLEM is under any obligation to follow any FATWA he personally doesn't agree with.

But nevermind that. "Islam" to the reichwinger bed wetters is some lockstep "totalitarian" movement that is marching astride the Globe in some global quest for domination (and they have the quotes from some "Imam" to prove it and pictures of some near homeless guys in Times Square with placards saying so).

Often the Nutters cite the "Fact" that 52 of the 59 conflicts in the world involve Moslems. Actually- that is just a lie. There are about 30 on going conflicts in the world and about a dozen involve Moslems- some of them against other Moslems. But that doesn't matter to the nutter. See- all of these conflicts are about about "ruling the world". No room for local reasons or actual history of these conflicts in the nutter brain. Nuance or complexity are their enemy. A nutter like RKKK is far more at home with simplistic comic book explanations that require no actual knowledge of anything. Nope. His "Islam" menance needs to be a tidy stupid cliche comic book cut out. Actual facts hurt his brain.

What other assumption is behind the statement the "march of Islam"? Well- I would imagine that this "islam" must be aggressive militarily? No? No Moslem bases all over the world? No Iran invading anyone 6000 miles from them? What does all of "Islam" spend on "defense"? 5 percent of what the US government does? If that? How can anyone look at a freakin map of the world- and see dozens of US bases doting Islamic lands with two countries invadrf and two others threatened daily and say, first- that the "PC" West isn't "confronting" Islam and second that "Islam" is on the "march?" I mean how does one actually get to that point? Are they just stupid? Seriously? You can't have a wit of intelligence and post such absurd crap like that and be intelligent.

No, the ones that spray and pray with a .50 cal in the middle of a crowded street while screaming "yeah motherfucker!"

On a more serious note, lies hurt the troops more than the truth. Guess what happened to German morale in Stalingrad when the troops there heard faked radio broadcasts of the troops being happy, chipper, and singing war songs in their off time.

In truth, the troops there had lost their long range transmitters to the Russians and the guys doing the singing were in comfy sound studios in Berlin at the time.

Poorly crafted lies can be just as damaging as the truth. But who knows, maybe the press releases from the likes of Rummy give the troops a constant supply of dark humor to keep them sane till their tour is up.

Now the people who are Moslem are about a billion. They span a hundred plus ethnic groups, tribes, ethnic groups, races, and speak dozens of languages and dialects and are further divided along national borders and sectarian spilts within "Islam". They are spread out from Morrocco to the Polynesians- about 5 or 6 thousand milies. On top of that "Islam" is the most decentralized religion in the world. It has no universally recognized heirarchy and no priesthood. An "Imam" can be anyone with enough money to start a Mosque or savy enough to get others to build one for him. One Imam's "fatwa" has no meaning to another and NO MOSLEM is under any obligation to follow any FATWA he personally doesn't agree with.

I remember on LP arguing that all Muslems could not possibly be at war with the rest of the world given their shear numbers. If they really were all terrorist minded, this planet would be in a hell of a lot worse shape than it is right now.

But most of the rest of the points I missed, particularly the lack of centralization, unlike the Catholic church.

A side note re: Israel. It's kind of ironic that the Europeans decided that they should move into Arab territory as compensation for the abuse they suffered in Europe. I'm sure if they had a slab of Germany to call their home the Arab world wouldn't be nearly as P/O'd at them as they are today.
