We've Had Rights to Free Speech, to Bear Arms and to Due Process For Centuries--'Til Now?

Is Liberty Control What We Need?

Congress, rather than debating why we keep bringing in more terror suspects all the time, is right now debating how much Due Process terror suspects are entitled to. Also cub scouts:

"...he was a baby and she could not get a seat for him on their flight to Florida at an airport kiosk; airline officials explained that his name “was on the list,”...

The first time he was patted down, at Newark Liberty International Airport, Mikey was 2. He cried."

At this rate, we're going to have to quadruple the FBI just to keep up. And provide lollipops, too. Great.

Bill Gertz:

"A new Department of Homeland Security report urges rejecting use of Islamic terms such as “jihad” and “sharia” in programs aimed at countering terrorist radicalization among American youth. ,,,

Under the section on terminology, the report calls for rejecting use of an “us versus them” mentality by shunning Islamic language in “Countering Violent Extremism” programs, or CVE, the Obama administration’s euphemism that seeks to avoid references to Islam.

Under a section on recommended actions on terminology, the report says DHS should “reject religiously-charged terminology and problematic positioning by using plain meaning American English.”

Government agencies should employ “American English instead of religious, legal and cultural terms like ‘jihad,’ ‘sharia,’ ‘takfir’ or ‘umma,’” states the June 2016 report by the Council’s countering violent extremism subcommittee.".................

Oh, please. This is the government that wants us to explain to a 5 year-old girl why there are men in her bathroom--but we can't quote the jihadi who calls it an act jihad on social media, while we're still mopping up the blood?

This, btw, is the Homeland Security Committee with a member who says her homeland is Syria forever. And celebrates 9/11 as a good thing, just like Omar Mateen did.  And another Muslim Homeland Security Advisor who says Israel bombed the World Trade Center and "If You See Something, Say Nothing." Which doesn't make sense: if Israel was behind all the terrorism, why he would he remain silent?

But since the Blobocracy has ordered us not to discuss the terms ‘jihad,’ ‘sharia,’ ‘takfir’ and ‘umma', let's now discuss the terms ‘jihad,’ ‘sharia,’ ‘takfir’ and ‘umma.’ 

Gertz again: "Jihad is the Islamic concept of holy war that is the primary call to arms for Islamic terrorist groups around the world, including the Islamic State, al Qaeda, and the Muslim Brotherhood. Sharia law is the anti-democratic Islamic supremacist legal code that critics say has prevented U.S. Muslims from assimilating into American society. Takfir is the Arabic term for apostasy, and umma is the word used to describe the entire Muslim community. ...

Rep. Mike Pompeo (R., Kansas) ...“Jihadists are the ones who have made this fight ‘us vs. them’ with every violent terrorist attack—from bringing down the World Trade Center towers, killing American soldiers overseas, beheading journalists, or shooting Americans in Orlando,” he added. “DHS’s emphasis here on political correctness is absolutely dangerous and places America and our military at risk.” ...

“Over and over again, we have seen the Obama administration having ample information to stop a terrorist attack, and yet because of the political correctness, because of the ideology of this administration that won’t even say the word ’jihad,’ won’t even say the words ’radical Islamic terrorism,’ they look the other way and the attacks go forward,” Cruz said in a Senate floor speech Thursday.

Sebastian Gorka, a counterterrorism expert, said that banning the jihadist terminology is similar to “Newspeak,” the fictional language used for totalitarian control in George Orwell’s book 1984.

“This is simply outrageous from the perspective of national security,” said Gorka, the Horner chair of military theory at Marine Corps University.

“Banning words that our political elite don’t like is not only a contravention of the First Amendment, it directly endangers the lives of Americans. When the enemy that slaughters our citizens in Orlando, San Bernardino, and Boston calls themselves ‘jihadis’ no one, not even the president, has the right to censor that reality and give them another name.”

Mark Steyn: "The arithmetic isn't complicated...the more Islam, the fewer gays.

The pro-Taliban dad has assured us that his pro-ISIS son isn't radical. That's the madness of the world we live in.

I listen to people say 'oh, we're now going to have to have metal detectors in night clubs, security in nightclubs.' Ok, so what happens next? They blow up a bakery, they blow up a little pastry shop, so then you're gonna have to have metal detectors to get into the pastry shop.

Instead of having all these individual perimeters around every Dunkin Donuts franchise or every gas station, or every J.C. Penny, why not have just one big perimeter around the country? We could call it a border! And we could have, like, a border security!"................

The King of Jordan says Islam is in a Civil War. They need to win their war first, not bring it to our shores.

Jihad Watch: "51% of U.S. Muslims want Sharia 

Omar Ahmad, co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the top Muslim lobby group in Washington: “Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Quran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.”"......

Sharia isn't just a personal code of conduct. It involves the immoral coercion and subjugation of others.

John Adams said: "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

He wasn't just saying play nice with others. He meant that a free state cannot exist when a certain number of citizens are subversive; criminals, communists, pirates, mobsters, terrorist sympathizers, etc..
If every other boat in the harbor is a pirate ship, you can't have freedom of the seas.
If every other phone call is a Tony Soprano ordering a hit, you can't have freedom to privacy.
If every other gun purchase is an Omar Mateen or Tashfin Malik, you can't have liberty of Arms.

If it reaches critical mass, say, 51%, you lose your free state and get a Security State.  

Our Rights to bear Arms.
To Free Speech.
To Due Process.
To Control Our Own Borders, Citizenship and Destiny.
And Sometimes, Our Very Right to Be, to Stay Alive and to simply live another day.

This administration keeps making us choose between the "umma" and our most cherished and ancient rights, between Sharia and the Constitution, between "an acceptable level of terrorism" and Liberty Control.

I made my choice. In 1776.
