ENEMIES OF WESTERN CULTURE UNITED BY A COMMON CAUSE
By Christopher G. Adamo
THE ENEMIES OF WESTERN CULTURE & TRADITIONAL AMERICAN VALUES: ENEMY ACTIVITY IN POLITICAL & CULTURAL
ORGANIZATIONS & INSTITUTIONS WITHIN THE U.S.A. AS WELL AS ENEMY ACTIVITY ON THE FIELDS OF BATTLE IN THE
MIDDLE EAST -- THE COMMON CAUSE THAT UNITES LEFTWING LIBERALS & ISLAMIST JIHADISTS
FULL STORY:
Prior to September 11, 2001, Afghanistan’s repressive Taliban regime was
known to most of the world only on account of a single controversy involving
its decision to destroy two ancient Buddhist statues. Of course, reaction to
this incident was one of universal outrage, loudly condemned across the
political spectrum as an abominable example of religious tyranny.
Yet, this desire by the Taliban to obliterate all religious symbolism with
which it took umbrage has an ominous parallel within the borders of America
in the systematic efforts by the ACLU and its ideological supporters to
expunge every Christian expression from the public square. If anything, the
Taliban were at least a bit more forthright as to their ultimate goal of
imposing Islam on the population at large, while working to forcibly
eradicate all other religious thought.
Of course, the ACLU hasn’t gone it alone, often enlisting various
countercultural organizations, such as the euphemistically named “People for
the American Way,” to carry its water. Furthermore, an increasing number of
institutions employ tactics learned from the ACLU, such tactics as sanctimonious
pontificating, threats, and intimidation invoked as a means and
justification for banning outward symbols of Christianity.
Meanwhile, the various organizations throughout America that regularly
protest any symbology of the Christian faith are just as often amenable and
supportive of crescents, crystals, and the assorted icons of every spiritual
alternative. Hardly the trappings of a single affiliated religion, they
nonetheless comprise a common effort to undermine and eventually destroy the
original spiritual bedrock of American society.
Other signs of this predominantly Leftwing assault abound. Thus, the many
parallels and similarities between the methods of the American Left and
militant Islam, though not universally equitable, must be recognized and
evaluated for their true ramifications.
Consider, for one example, efforts of the Islamofacists, or Islamists, to disrupt,
apparently at all costs, the elections in Iraq. Clearly aware that the will
of the people of that region, if aired at the ballot box, will undeniably
speak against their brutality and despotism, the Islamists will diligently
work against the ability of the common citizenry to state their opinions in
such a manner.
With the elections apparently being imminent, the forces of the Iraqi
insurgency are calling for a boycott in hopes of rendering them invalid.
Among American Liberals, the call is for endless recounting and
re-evaluation of this country’s election results, in an effort to solidify
the notion that the tallies were somehow rigged, and therefore not
legitimate.
The record number of votes cast for President George W. Bush on November 2, 2004, should make
it patently obvious that the Democratic Party ought to become introspective
and work to repair itself from within. Yet almost daily, indications are
that Liberals intend to maintain their present battle plan.
Rather than admit defeat, and that the election represented a referendum on
the counterculture, the Left, instead, continues to seek to discredit the
election process itself, thereby maintaining its pretense of representing
“the people.” In like manner, the forces of militant Islam intend to prevent
any such baseline of public consensus from ever being established in Iraq.
Earlier this month, prominent Democrats in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives delayed
certification of the Electoral College vote tally, ostensibly to call
attention to “irregularities” in the decisive state of Ohio. Clearly, no
real irregularities were up for discussion.
In truth, the ploy was intended only to undermine the credibility of
President Bush’s reelection. Despite his pious post-election demands that
the President strive for “unity” among Americans, John Kerry didn’t even
show up in the Senate for the certification of the electoral vote.
Present plans by Leftwing organizations to disrupt the Inauguration with
mass demonstrations and other acts of protest are intended to further
discredit the Bush Administration, and ultimately to undermine its ability
to govern. While public dissent has always been a legitimate component of
American political discourse, these efforts will undoubtedly undermine
American policy in the eyes of its adversaries throughout the world.
With each new effort by the Left to sidestep legitimate debate of the issues
at hand and supplant them with one fabricated controversy after another, the
pattern becomes increasingly obvious.
The enemies of traditional America exist not only on the fields of battle in
the Middle East, but also inside the U.S.A., within major Liberal organizations and institutions
whose members invariably believe themselves to hold the moral “high ground .
It is high time that mainstream America recognizes the true motivation for
such behavior.
