QOTD: "Obama and ilk cannot let the word “Islam” pass their lips while making noises about “managing the problem” of ISIS. The next step can be found in a startling and bizarre column from the National Post in which the author seriously offers that way to “save your life” is to know how to recite the shahadah.

Sure, and we can wear burqas, close churches and temples and pay jizyah.

Why not just submit and be done with it?

In the struggle between the West and barbarism, the Left chooses barbarism. For them, The Other is only reactive to the evil of Western Civilization’s imperialism, colonialism, sexism and heteronormitivity. The Other is the perpetual victim and we are the perpetual oppressors.

We cannot and should not fight only against the barbarism of Islamism, but also the anti-Western dogma of the Left that enables it." --Jeff Goldstein

Progressives/Leftists consider themselves superior and the natural owners of the world. Like us all, they see problems and conflicts. Their solution is to put themselves into power to control the populace and end the problems.

They plan to correct bad thinking and impose proper ideas. They don't restrict themselves to the truth. They assume that people don't think well enough to direct their own lives. So, they don't try to persuade people in an intellectual way. Their arguments are more like advertising slogans, working on the assumptions of their audience and taking advantage of flawed thinking.

It is impossible to have an informed discussion with a Progressive, because their "facts" are chosen to be persuasive, not because they are true. They will never admit an incorrect fact, because persuasion is more important than the truth. They will change the discussion to another "fact" when pressed on the truth of the first one.

They see an autocratic society as half-way to the goal, regardless of the anti-liberal policies of that society. Control first, good policies second.

So, they defend the right of a society to be autocratic. For example, they admire Muslim societies because of the autocratic control, despite some quibbles about a lack of freedom for the populace. They assume they will have a ruling position and will not be subject to the objectionable parts of autocratic control.

Why are U.S. Progressives antisemitic and anti-Israel? That is the position of the autocratic societies that fit their plans. They can get support from those societies to oppose and eventually control the U.S. Opposing Israel and sacrificing the lives and freedom of six million Israelis is a small price to pay for support of their own plans.
