Eric:  

 

Notice how quickly any expressions hostile to Militant Islam, Terrorism or
any variation thereof are quickly turned back on the writer.  Condemn
terrorists and someone is going to condemn you in short order.  You'll be a
wild man, a fascist, just as bad as the terrorist or some combination
thereof.  The fact that Leftists can't resist doing that, can't resist
attacking those interested in defending this country, is far more
interesting (and potentially alarming - until we realize they are but a
minority in the US - if not in Europe) than anything pertaining to the
actual defense. A majority in this nation will insist that this country be
defended, but we here on Lit-Ideas are a backwater in which hostile
intelligences snap and bite at those who believe in fighting against our
enemies.  How do you account for that?  I for one never get used to it.
What they say strikes me as being similar to someone who does something
really dumb and then does it again and then again.  They draw attention to
themselves.  You are shocked and then amazed.  You try to help them, but
they don't want any help and they go off and do it again, and again, and
again.  It is like a blind spot or insanity.  One of them wants to turn our
founding fathers into a group of terrorists --  I suppose such a
transformation is intended to make the present terrorists more palatable to
those of us who oppose them.  What sort of intelligence would assert
something so loony?  It is amazing.  She wasn't affected by the fact that
the concept didn't exist until it was applied to the French during their
revolution which occurred after ours.  Her head was up and locked and the
throttles were fully forward.  I don't think she even noticed what I said.

 

Now you have been called a Nazi, you who live near the World Trade Center
and witnessed the work of the Terrorists are now considered a Nazi for
wishing them ill.  Why do these Leftists so quickly attack those who oppose
our enemies?  Why do they in effect come to the defense of our enemies?  Are
we experiencing a pandemic of self-destructive behavior?  Might we become
infected as well?  Might we one day wake up and hate America and wish to
become a Terrorist's toady?  And what is most alarming, we have ample
evidence that the disease is incurable.  

 

But then the next question to ask is why we, who have yet to be infected,
spend so much time inviting their dumb comments again, and again, and still
again.  Perhaps this is a form of symbiosis.  If we could get them to go to
an Alcoholics Anonymous for Leftists, perhaps we should seek out an Allanon.

Joerg: ... over here, someone with your "world-view" would 

easily qualify as a neo-Nazi, and be banned from public 

life: that's not a "clash of cultures", it's just drawing 

the line between civilisation and barbarianism.

 

 

Eric: I let this pass too easily, so redux.

 

Let me get this straight: in modern Germany, if someone 

advocated killing active terrorists, they would qualify as 

neo-Nazis and be banned from public life? That can't be 

right, can it? If that's what you really meant, it's almost 

too weird and fascist for a reply ... almost.

 

If that's the case, you Germans are totally [insert 

Anglicism for traditional expletive] bonked. Might as well 

just lubricate yourself and bend over for any and all 

militant killer scum who threaten you. That's so sad. A 

whimpering end. Being someone's jailhouse punk in the name 

of civilization. Es ist wirklich traurig.

 

If I misconstrued what you wrote, and it seems certain I 

misconstrued, you should correct me. What, exactly, in your 

opinion, qualifies as neo-Nazi about my world view? Or are 

you the Hammer seeing me as a Nagel?
