The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.~ Sir Edmund Burke
Since the end of World War II, I contend that we have an even more wicked, incorrigible enemy that Western civilization must fight, but unlike Hitler's conspicuous legions of Brownshirts and SS shock troops goose-stepping in front of the Reichstag, this enemy of modern times, this Liberal-Muslim Axis has as its greatest weapon deception, lies and Machiavellian tactics. They hide in the halls of Congress, the White House, the courts, behind 501(c)(3) organizations. The Muslim Axis powers hide behind Allah, Muhammad, the Quran, women's burqas, among civilians; inside Mosques, caves and desolate places in the mountains of Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, as well as inside the halls of power in England, France and America.
Conventional wisdom tells us that the greatest trick of the devil was to make everyone believe that he doesn't exist. Likewise, the greatest trick of the Liberal-Muslim Axis is to maneuver and wield vast religious, political and economic power without alerting people who they really are. What do I mean? On one level liberalism and Islam appear to be opposite ideological forces. Liberalism is a political philosophy developed during the Age of Enlightenment in 18th-century Europe. Some of its famous exponents were: Voltaire, Hobbes, Kant, Napoleon, the American framers and the French philosophers.
Islam was born in the deserts of Arabia in the early seventh century. Islam is a revolutionary, totalizing political ideology masquerading as a religion. It has no respect for Judaism or Christianity but worships the moon-god deity, Allah, whose distinctive crescent is signified in the flags and religious icons of all Muslim nations. Their central teachings are that all other religions except Islam are false and all other people not Muslim can be summarily executed. "Fight and kill the infidels (unbelievers) wherever you find them," reads Sura 9:5. That's a commandment, not a suggestion.
Liberalism and Islam are essential mirror images of one another whose end worships power and control above all else. Liberalism is a political philosophy that over the past 300 years has morphed into a pagan cult-like religion of death, exerting absolute political hegemony and societal domination. As a religion, liberalism can move and function in ways that other bona fide religions (Judaism, Christianity) could never venture while at the same time wielding dictatorial political power over virtually the entire world.
Conservative intellectual Ann Coulter, in her best-selling book "Godless," said the following regarding liberalism as a religion: "Liberals love to boast that they are not 'religious,' which is what one would expect to hear from the state-sanctioned religion," she further writes:
Of course liberalism is a religion. It has its own cosmology, its own miracles, its own beliefs in the supernatural, its own churches, its own high priests, its own saints, its own total worldview, and its own explanation of the existence of the universe. In other words, liberalism contains all the attributes of what is generally known as "religion."
Conversely, Islam seemingly is the mirror opposite of liberalism: openly religious yet functioning surreptitiously as a revolutionary political party. Islam is a fusing together of mosque and state. Nonie Darwish, a former Muslim and convert to Christianity, pulled back Islam's phony religious cover to expose a political ideology every bit as revolutionary and totalizing as Marxism, socialism and communism. Darwish said:
This [Islam] is not religion. It has nothing to do with religion. Religion is a relationship with God. ... Islam is a relationship with the State. Islam is a one-party, totalitarian system. It's a one-party State that will not allow you to speak. And it will kill anybody who challenges or questions.
In the so-called "crotch bomber" case we have a synthesis of these two seeming converse ideologies – liberalism and Islam. On Christmas Day, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a radicalized Muslim schooled at terrorist training camps in Yemen, successfully boarded a plane in Lagos, Nigeria, connecting in Amsterdam bound for Detroit, Mich., without a passport. But for his incompetence at detonating the explosive devise hidden in his underwear, we would be mourning the deaths of 300 innocent people.
But herein is the truly diabolical connection of the Liberal-Muslim Axis – both wicked ideologies exercise godlike power over the people by feigning to be something that they are not. In a rational world governed by the rule of law, morality, Veritas (truth) and Natural Law, people would never have permitted a Muslim to enter an airplane without first being extensively profiled.
Since the 1860s and the advent of the scientific cult of Darwinian evolution (so essential to the Liberal-Muslim Axis), the Judeo-Christian traditions found in Natural Law philosophy have been meticulously removed from the rule of law. Under perverse notions of fairness, equality, egalitarianism (which is an equality of results), President Obama and his homeland security secretary, Janet Napolitano, as well as their equivalents across the world, force law-abiding citizens to undergo increasingly invasive procedures to board a plane. Every time a Muslim attempts or commits a terrorist attack on an airplane the Liberal-Muslim Axis therefore places more laws on our backs.
Only courageous patriots can ultimately defeat this diabolical Liberal-Muslim Axis. Let us start this New Year with this strategy as our aspiration. Let all red-blooded Americans endeavor to make the Democratic Party into the Whig Party of the 21st century and begin to terrify the terrorists before they lift a hand against our wonderful country.
Happy New Year!
