Silence is the Real Enemy

The would be perpetrators of the failed attack on a gathering of cartoonists clearly got what they deserved.

Radical Islam finds the freedom of speech abhorrent, and apparently are willing, as has been demonstrated with terrible and deadly effect in Paris, France, to wipe out and entire group of satirists and cartoonists. Luckily for those proponents of the first amendment in Dallas, TX, we are willing to fight back, also with deadly effect. The first and second amendments were exercised against those two would-be jihadists in exactly the manner they were intended for. The leftist politically correct crowd would have us muzzled and defenseless, if they had their way. However, they won't.

One final note. The POTUS remains characteristically silent in the face of this....

    Can anyone actually imagine going from Phoenix to Dallas to shoot people to defend a prophet that's been dead for some 1300 years.

    If this doesn't point to the irrationality of religious belief over reason, I don't know what else will.

      If you think this was to follow a dead prophet, you've been smoking something other than tobacco. It's about power, and nothing else.

        This is about anarchy, destruction, death, terror, blood and pain. Nothing more for those that are actually fighting. There may well be a few behind the scenes that expect to garner power and even wealth but those you face in the field don't really expect nor even dream of that. They actually expect and worship death.

      Some people say that the Second Amendment was written when there were muskets, etc., implying that it's anachronistic, old-fashioned, even pre-civilized. Yet they don't put any kind of expiration date for the oldness of religions that people have the right to practice. Heck, the Second Amendment is hundreds of years newer than Mohammed stuff, and it could be argued that it (2A) was written down as a response to those who do not observe or respect others' freedom of religion.

      Hundreds of years ago, in many places, the church and the government were the same thing. So in the 1st amdmt the new Congress was forbidden from establishing a religion that would be anywhere near that same model. The first five words say who that rule was for.

      The 2nd amdmt doesn't even limit this prohibition to Congress and laws. Everyone knew what it meant to keep and bear arms, and it DIDN'T mean going to a gun show or target shooting. It could have very well have meant it was to protect peaceful people who were concerned that some ancient human relic from pre-Constitutional times stumbled out of a time machine and started shooting.

      OK, maybe they don't believe in my time machine, but then again, I don't believe in their god(s).

      Perhaps if we limit the number of rounds in our magazines to 5 these fanatics will just go away. Sorry, I'm still hung up on the last post I visited.

          Not really. Those lands had changed hands many times. I was replying to Zanphamy's post that said, "Can anyone actually imagine going from Phoenix to Dallas to shoot people to defend a prophet that's been dead for some 1300 years. "

          European Christians traveled for months - sometimes years (when stuff went wrong) - to fight in a war. This seems to be a typical behavior of motivated people, not an exceptional behavior. (And the Crusades were the tech equivalent of a 3rd world country (Europe) attacking a 1st world country (Salah ad din's Empire ~ Egypt and Syria). We 'learned' more than we 'won' there (arguably enough to begin the Renaissance).

    The freedom argument will never get through to these people. They seriously believe they are following a higher law than trivial issues like freedom. The best outcome might be others realize that attacking cartoonists is not a very worthwhile battle to be fighting, but they will definitely never stop attacking cartoonists because of respect for freedom of speech.

      All the more reason to have events like this regularly, so these thugs will come out of the woodwork and give us reason to blow them to hell.

    Our nation was founded on an open and honest debate about what kind of freedoms were absolutely critical to be upheld in order to begin and sustain a free nation and it is no surprise that thought and the right to disagree was enshrined as the pinnacle right.

    Those who would seek to do away with this privilege and freedom are enemies of not only this nation, but freedom itself.

    All of the 1st amendment activities should take place in TX; we can build up the body count of those who would deny us the right of free speech.

    I think both believers in islam and detractors of islam or any other religion should be able to SAY anything they want. But neither supporters nor opponents of a religion should be able to freely infringe on the rights of the other. When that happens, it only harms the cause they are trying to promote. In my case, I have developed a mild dislike for the religion of islam. Call it racism if you want- but I call it culturism. Got nothing to do with race.
