COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Institutional Breakdown - Whitewashing the Problem

Our institutions are failing us and here is one of the more recent examples; The Pew Research Center recently published the results of a poll of 55,000 American Muslims which it and much of the Media have characterized as showing that Muslims in America "are largely assimilated, happy with their lives, and moderate with respect to many of the issues that have divided Muslims and Westerners around the world." As was pointed out by Dennis Prager, Pew and much of the media have tried to put "lipstick on a pig." To their credit though, unlike the buried EU study showing rampant Muslim youth hate crimes there, Pew has not tried to lock away the bad news.

Relatively few Muslim Americans believe the U.S.-led war on terror is a sincere effort to reduce terrorism, and many doubt that Arabs were responsible for the 9/11 attacks. Just 40% of Muslim Americans say groups of Arabs carried out those attacks.

The poll reveals that Muslims in the United States reject Islamic extremism by larger margins than do Muslim minorities in Western European countries, when compared with results from a 2006 Pew Global Attitudes Project survey. However, there is somewhat more acceptance of Islamic extremism in some segments of the U.S. Muslim public than others. Fewer native-born African American Muslims than others completely condemn al Qaeda. In addition, younger Muslims in the U.S. are more likely than older Muslim Americans to express a strong sense of Muslim identity, and are much more likely to say that suicide bombing in the defense of Islam can be at least sometimes justified.

Very few Muslim Americans – just 1% – say that suicide bombings against civilian targets are often justified to defend Islam; an additional 7% say suicide bombings are sometimes justified in these circumstances.

Views about terrorism are broadly shared by all segments of the Muslim American population, but the polling does find pockets of support for extremism. Overall, just 5% of Muslim Americans express even somewhat favorable opinions of al Qaeda. Yet strong hostility toward al Qaeda varies widely – 63% of foreign-born U.S. Muslims say they have a very unfavorable opinion of al Qaeda, compared with 51% of all native-born Muslims, and just 36% of African American Muslims.
Pew's narrative explanation of the poll tends to highlight the positive results while downplaying the negative. For instance 5% of all American Muslims have a favorable opinion of Al-Qaeda. In addition to that, 27% chose to express no opinion of Al-Qaeda. Based on Pew's estimate of 2.35 million Muslims in America, nearly 120,000 Muslims in America have a favorable view of Al-Qaeda while a whopping 23,500 approve suicide bombings! Does that represent Mainstream America? More than 1 out of 4 American Muslims (or nearly 600,000 people) refuse to express a negative opinion of the world's most virulent cancer yet are presented as "mainstream." Yeah, right! 60% of mainstream America do not believe Arabs carried out the 9/11 attack. Would the Pew people or the media have us believe that 17% of mainstream America believe suicide attacks are justified (8%) or refused to condemn them (9%)? BTW - 12% of foreign born Arabs think that suicide bombings may be justified. Pew says "not to worry", compared to other countries our Mohammedans are wonderful liberal people.
Muslim Americans hold liberal political views on questions about the size and scope of government. At the same time, however, they are socially conservative and supportive of a strong role for government in protecting morality. When asked to choose, 70% express a preference for a larger government providing more services; just 21% prefer a smaller government providing fewer services.
"Institutional breakdown" is how I describe the media's ideological whitewash of critical issues facing this country. More and more, it seems that the truth is subverted in order to advance a left wing secular, anti-Christian agenda. Think I'm crazy? Substitute the word Christian for the word Muslim and imagine the media's enraged reaction. What is this country coming to?

  2. In a similar vein, it has been argued that the flood of illegal immigrants are merely hardworking, family values people that will only enrich the American experience. Heather MacDonald says that only 40% of Latinos in the Los Angeles county school system graduate from high school. She also said that the illegimate birth rate for Hispanics is astronomical. This too has been whitewashed by our elites and the media.

  7. I feel the same way, I try to treat individuals as I would wish to be treated. That doesn't mean I am stupid enough to think that unchecked immigration is a wonderful thing. The recent developments with the Bush crowd have been very disturbing to me. Bush's people like Linda Chavez have been too quick to play the race card. Like this immigration bill, if passed, they could destroy the Republican party. Not that I am tied to the party but it would seem a lot easier to correct the problems within the GOP than starting a new conservative party from scratch. I am very discouraged with the direction we are heading. Very disappointed with GWB. (Very little conservative leadership.) If someone like Ronald Reagan doesn't step forward soon, it could be very dark days ahead for America especially with Democrats in control of Washington.

  8. The Bill just codifies what you've supported for as long as we've been discussing the issue, rufus.

    You have never favored workplace enforcement. Told us you liked the low prices that criminal enterprises afforded your family to eat out.

    This makes all those workers legal, puts them into the System, not available for wage slavery.

    Ms Chavez qould have to file SS withholdings on her houskeepers.

  9. Well, let's don't rewrite history. RR started this amnesty bullshit when he signed Simpson-Mazzoli in 86'. He gave us the 12 million illegals we have now.

  10. AND, don't YOU rewrite MY speeches, Rat. I've always said I was in favor of some sort of "Reasonable" deal being worked out, and that I thought a lot of the Mexicans that are here illegally were actually a plus for the country (True, I might have got out in the weeds a bit on this one)

    BUT, I "NEVER" Came out in favor of anything as nutty as this bill.

    ReplyDelete
  11. No, not at all.
    It was lack of enforcement, since that 1986 fiasco that has allowed the 12 to 20 million infiltrators to enter the country.

    The stampede has accelerated under the Bush Administration. Now that Amnesty is in the air, the traffic will increase, just as Mr Bush decreases the National Guard support to the Border Patrol, by almost half.

    It a rigged game.

    Not Reagan's fault, now that he's in the ground. Out of authority for over 18 years, now.

    grabibing for s straw to far, rufus, a straw to far.

  12. I meant someone who could promote Conservative values as Reagan did. As to the amnesty bill he signed, I doubt that he would have signed a second one. We have no excuse now, this will be the third wave. We know now, that amnesty will simply lead to another flood of illegals. The Government wishes to assure us that this time they will enforce the laws. Why should we believe them? That's another discouraging thing about all this. We can no longer trust our government. Oh, we can trust them to get guys like Scooter Libby or you or I, but otherwise they have shown themselves to be untrustworthy and that is a scary thing.

  13. I'm ticked off about one thing today. Five days ago or so, when I was in my 'acitvist mode' I sent a nice 4 paragraph letter to my liberal newspaper, to the letter to the editors column, and I know the letter was ok, and well written, cause I passed it past my wife, and she oked it, and hand delivered it to the newspaper office. By God, they still haven't published it If they don't publish it by Sunday, I'm going to be feeling I have been censored.

  14. The illegals have to leave, or be legalized.

    There are no other options.

    Mr Bush tells US the Government cannot be expected to make them leave, it is not possible, he said. That is a constant.

    You have always been against the fence, always against workplace enforcement. Not fair, you'd say. Just people wanting to better their lives, economic refugees.

    Well they have to be made to depart, or become legal.
    What other course is there?

    There are 20 million of them.

  18. I tell you what I would support:

    1. The border must be closed and enforced as a prerequisite to all else.

    2. Stiff penalties enforced on employers. That should reduce the amount of illegals by 24-50%.

    3. A point system by country of origin.

    4. No credit towards social security payments made with a phony ID.

    5. The only way they could vote is that they have to return to their home and get in the back of the line for that country. No special status card where they could just come and go as they like.

    I am sure you all will have others.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I have not always been against a fence, or workplace enforcement. You're making shit up. Doug asked me a couple of months back what I would do and my first three answers were deport the illegals in jail/prison as soon as they'd completed their sentences, shut down the border, and require proof of legality to work. Look it up.

  20. So is maintaining a sub-class of illegal wwage slaves, bob, a big deal.

    That is the status que.

    A gray market that crime flourishes in.

    But Mr Bush won't begin, today, working to improve the border security. No indeed, he is pulling the National Guard off that duty.

    So goes the battle.

  24. The picture of the monster wild pig was named Fred. It was raised in captivity and sold to some hunting farm four days prior to the big hunt. Knowing something about a farm raised pig, that would be like shooting a pick up truck or your family dog. The pig probably took a few bad shots and tried to escape when he figured out what was going on..

    FRUITHURST, Alabama (AP) -- The huge hog that became known as "Monster Pig" after being hunted and killed by an 11-year-old boy had another name: Fred.

    The not-so-wild pig had been raised on an Alabama farm and was sold to the Lost Creek Plantation just four days before it was shot there in a 150-acre fenced area, the animal's former owner said.

    Phil Blissitt told The Anniston Star in a story Friday that he bought the 6-week-old pig in December 2004 as a Christmas gift for his wife, Rhonda, and that they sold it after deciding to get rid of all the pigs at their farm.

    "I just wanted the truth to be told. That wasn't a wild pig," Rhonda Blissitt said.

    Jamison Stone shot the huge hog during what he and his father described as a three-hour chase. They said it was more than 1,000 pounds and 9 feet long; if anything, it looked even bigger in a now-famous photo of the hunter and the hunted.

  28. If you study revolution, you know that it is hastened not by the extremely poor and illiterate but by the educated and often well off middle class.

    I have no way of knowing the economic or social status of the 23,500 agreeable suicide bombers already in the US. Ideology has spurred on the worlds revolutions and Islam is a bloody ideology, anathema to our American way of life. That alone tells me of the degree of peril we face of an immediate nature.

    The intelligence community should run a polling operation similar to the Pew operation in which they gather a list of those 23,500. They should then cleanse the country of this internal conflagration that simply waits for it's holy command. It would not be a hard operation to run.
    If they are willing to admit that suicide bombings are justifiable then they present a clear and present danger to this country and should be dispatched.

    As for the other 2.3 million, get 'em out of here. It seems to me to be common sense. Why do I know it? Because since Mohammad, and then much more since 2001, it’s become evident to me that it’s a fight, not just a disagreement, between civilizations, and urgent fight -- They mean to destroy our world, and we’re not going to have it.

    In Albert Camus’s novel, “La Peste,” “The Plague.” The plague goes into remission. The rats go back down into the sewer. But they’re always breeding. They’re always carrying the bacilli. And one day, they reemerge to spread "La Pesta" in our nation. Get them out and do not let them return.

    If we do not preempt the plague now and if only one tenth of those 23,500 decide to act in concert on any given day, we will have chaos and uncontollable panic in our country. People will begin hordeing food and shortly the shelves will be barren. People will demand their money from the banks. The nation will be a New Orleans of today, only much worse.

    And then the payback will begin, as it always does and slaughter will ensue.

    But for now one bite at a time. We must keep the Mexicans in Mexico or the eventual mongreliztion of this nation will be irreversible.
    Why do I say mongrelization, such a charged word. Because 50% of Mexican childen are born as bastards. A ninth grade education for a Mexican is "higher" education. I could go on, but go ahead, characterize it a different way if you can.

  29. Wal-Mart hired sub-contractors to clean their floors, that then hired the illegals.

    But you can be sure the Wal-Mart store managers knew who was in the store, at night. Or they'd not be managers for long, would they?

    Same as Albertson's, I'd wager.

    "Well I happen to see some people here who might not have all the required paperwork to be here, and buy the way do you have a businesss card and who do you report to?"

  32. Before we "go off" on business, consider this. If a business calls the Fed's checking on the validity of a SS number, they may be told that the Feds are unable to verify the number but cautions/warns the business not to discriminate against the applicant on that basis. Now, is that screwed up or what?

  39. From the Pew Poll:
    "20% of American Muslims are native born African Americans who identify themselves as Sunni."

    Trained no doubt down at the local Wahabbist run storefront Mosque.

    Also from Pew:
    "More generally, native-born African American Muslims are the most disillusioned segment of the U.S. Muslim population. When compared with other Muslims in the U.S., they are more skeptical of the view that hard work pays off, and more of them believe that Muslim immigrants in the U.S. should try to remain distinct from society. They also are far less satisfied with the way things are going in the United States. Just 13% of African American Muslims express satisfaction with national conditions, compared with 29% of other native-born Muslims, and 45% of Muslim immigrants."

    G8 Protestors Clash with

    "ROSTOCK, Germany (AP) -- Protesters with black hoods and bandanas covering their faces showered police with rocks and beer bottles Saturday, before the heavily armored officers drove them back with water cannon and tear gas during a rally against an upcoming Group of Eight summit.

    Black smoke from burning cars mingled with the sting of tear gas in the harbor-front area of the northern German town of Rostock, where tens of thousands of people had gathered peacefully at the start of the day. The clashes broke out among hundreds of stone-throwing demonstrators and police on the edges of the crowd as the rally progressed.

    Some 146 police were hurt, 25 of them seriously. Police said they made 17 arrests.

    It was an unruly start to what is expected to be a week of rallies against the three-day G-8 summit beginning Wednesday in the fenced-off coastal resort of Heiligendamm, 14 miles from Rostock."

  49. This entire "don't look.don"t see" began in the sixities when federal laws were passed that prevented the local police from reporting the ethnicity of a perp..in those days it was driven by outrage from NAACP,CORE,SCLC, all the negro civil rights clubs who formed a colored coalition around MLK. naturally the FBI, since they had followed MLK and his commie budddies around had to quit using stats too.

    Newspapers quickly fell in line, not reporting that the perp was white,black,brown or whatever..without statistics it became hard to pinpoint trends etc.

    Now everyone is a "picked on" subset of "American" each demanding their own way. First negros wanted intergration, then separation, then a new name du jour, blacks, African-Americans..Negro was just fine for Bayard Rustin Bayard Rustin as he wrote in a number of political tracts.

    Now Muslim cab drivers won't transport you if you are carrying alcohol...imagine what a pork BBQ sandwich would do!

The relationship to Sweden and the support given to the fundamental values of society thus carry greater significance for integration than a common historical origin."

    As 'Fjordman' explains, the act was nothing less than national suicide. "Native Swedes have... been reduced to just another ethnic group in Sweden, with no more claim to the country than the Kurds or the Somalis who arrived there last Thursday. The political authorities of the country have erased their own people's history and culture."


    This is what is happening to America .. really not a melting pot anymore, but a sewer of separarte ethnicities.

    Europe,the End

  64. Habu,
    Our friend Harrison at Possumbistro has a ten mile long piece about an even longer piece by that Fj Ford guy.
    Followed by equally long comments between him, Allen, and others.
    Me, being your basic retard, never made it through the whole thing.

    The average illegal immigrant family receives an average of $30,000 in governmental benefits! Yet they pay only about $9,000 in taxes per year. That creates a $21,000 shortfall that the American taxpayer has to make up. That’s like buying each of these illegal immigrant families a brand new Mustang convertible—each and every year!” —Robert Rector, Ph.D., The Heritage Foundation"

  78. well, doug, depends upon what the mission in Iraq REALLY is.

    If it is a mission to establish a nonfeudal republican government, then enlisting the Anbar tribes, not the Iraqi Army, to battle the aQ elements is direct testimony to the failure of four years of US policy in developing the ISF.

    On the ground, it may be a field expedient method to control aspects of Anbar, but it is a direct repudiation of our previous mission parameters.

    Which was to isolate, then diminish the influence of Tribal leadership in the new Iraq.

    Instead, today, we are strengthening their role in Iraqi Society.
    Same technique used by Saddam.

    It maybe that it is an effective way to police the area, but it is an admission of Policy failure to do so.

    We've come full circle since Mr Bremmer was Viceroy.

  81. Mr Parsens, I don't listen to talk radio, so I conttinue to draw a blank when you mention him.

    Now GoDaddy was started in a house, next door to Col. Happersett's ranch. A totally outlaw operation, to start. Violated every zoning regulation in the book. My kind of guys.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I am all for killing whomever deserves it, doug.
    Still do not think that aQ hands out ID cards to their troopers. Hard to tell who is part of "the Base" and who is just taggin' along for an exciting ride.

    The Tribes of Anbar have been respoonsible for over 2,000 US combat deaths, now those same riflemen are our friends and hope for the future.

    That's Amnesty, amigos

    ReplyDelete
  83. Yeah, I was readin that the so-called Tribals are sometimes largely ex Baathists, many from high up the killin chain.

    But I say if they did their killin of innocent Iraqis and US Warriors before June 1, 2007, they're just strivers that deserve a helping hand.
    ...and, of course legal standing, legal aide, foodstamps and etc.
    But that AIN'T Amnasty, cause I say so!

  84. Just thot you might know Parsons since he's been so successful in Phoenix.
    Sounds like him "bending" the rules to take an unfair advantage.

    Before GoDaddy, he had an outfit called "Parsons Technology" I think, selling software and computer gadgets and computers.
    Sold it for a Bunch, I think.
    Haven't checked to see if GoDaddy is still the growth king.

    ReplyDelete
  85. GoDaddy I know of, if this Parsons is GoDaddy, puts him in the big leagues.

    Started out right down the street, went public, made a mint, I'm led to believe.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Last time I read his blog he had just decided not to go public at that time after all.
    Guess market conditions have "improved" since then.

  88. Whatever that means.

    The company line is that the Tribals were killin us cause we had the wrong strategy, and now with General Eienstein in charge, well what would you expect.

    Mighta known our gittin killed was OUR fault.

    Somethin we never woulda learned if we had killed THEM FIRST.

  90. What ever, doug, the fact is the very same people that were our foes, are now recipients of US cash.
    Paid to play, nice.

    We could have taken that approach from the beginning, saving thousands, literally, of US lives. If the previous policy was bad, who is to blame?
    Where does that buck stop? General Casey was promoted, not relieved, Mr Bremmer, didn't he get a Medal of Freedom or some such.

    No apology, no remorse.

  91. Forgot what the math was on dividing what we've spent by their population:

    Here's my twenty twenty masterplan:
    Divide the money up, deposit it in the women's names only, to be spent solely at their discretion over time, no lump sums encouraging a quick trip to Rasin Hell.
    Raisin Hell has a nice ring to it, don't it?

    ReplyDelete
  92. 500 billion divided by 25 million
    That comes to $20,000 per Iraqi

    A new Mustang for each man, woman and child in Iraq.

    Just like illegals in the US.

    Cynical, nah.
