While we may not always “live up to the true meaning of our creed” to quote the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., there remains a stark and enduring contrast between us and our enemies both foreign and domestic. Our government, in both law and custom, is a servant of the sovereign citizen. In contrast, Islamic and Socialist governments view themselves as servants of God or Science, the meaning of which is interpreted by an elite. Our elected councilors operate, theoretically, within the confines of a constitution. Islamic and Socialist dictators openly operate as an aristocratic agent with power maintained, to paraphrase Mao tse Tung, at the barrel of a gun,
America has an honored tradition, springing from the spirit of 1776, of respecting the sovereign rights of other nations. In the nineteenth century we championed sovereignty in the Western Hemisphere with the Monroe Doctrine of 1823. Our entry into the two World Wars, Korea, Vietnam and the Gulf War was based upon this principle. There certainly have been schemers in our government who, from time to time, have, without question, embroiled us in imperialistic ventures. When doing so, they have, however, operated in opposition to our stated creed and the will and philosophy of our people. They were, and remain, traitors to American ideals and interests.
In contrast, Islamists, as a cornerstone of their stated faith, believe in world conquest. Islamists view the portion of the world that has not submitted to their rule as the Dar es Harb or the world of war. They are commanded by their faith to conduct Jihad, or war, against the non-Islamic world until they achieve Dar es Salaam, or a world of peace. This is the term they use to describe a utopian world under the Islamic scimitar.
The Socialists also believe in world conquest as an article of faith. They view the portion of the world that has not submitted to them as “reactionary” and “oppressive.” They feel commanded by “science” to engage in “struggle” to achieve what they refer to as a progressive world. In the name of this elusive progress they have murdered, according to the Black Book of Communism, over 100 million people this last century.
Islamic doctrine is filled with references to Jihad. An example was the Sept. 11 attack on the twin towers in New York. Such an audacious frontal assault on the Dar el Harb, they believe, will de-stabilize the nation they call the “great Satan.” They consider killing “infidels” to be humane and even a sacred act in the performance of Jihad, which is why they are prone to shout “Allahu Akbar!” as they grab the controls of an airplane.
Socialist doctrine is also filled with justifications for violence and war as a means of achieving political ends. The color red, which is the international socialist color, stands for the human blood that they will shed in order to induce the “birth pangs” of the new Socialist reality. To achieve their goals they “bore from within” by infiltrating and subverting nations. They divide and conquer and foment instability and violence. Upon seizing power they routinely exterminate their opposition. Since they refuse to recognize the existence of truth or morality, only “socialist” truth, they consider such extermination to be justified.
The great American experiment is whether or not mankind is capable of exercising his God given potential for self-rule. The Islamist and Socialist rejects this as even a possibility. America is the last great hope for mankind as peoples of the world, whether stated or implied, covet our freedom and seek to emulate it. The biggest mistake we could make in these dangerous times is to imbibe Islamist/Socialist propaganda that seeks to tear us down in the eyes of the world and tear at the very fabric of our domestic freedom with their acts of war, both overt and subtle. Mankind is depending on our ability to stand up and be ourselves.
