credo

credo.

as i sit here, i cannot ever remember picking on anyone, or bullying anyone, or ever picking a fight or even particularly looking for trouble.

i have never once backed away from a fight, though i did not savor its prospect, and though i knew that i was going to be beaten.  i have stood my ground. never backed away, not once, my whole life.  my nose has been broken so many times, i cannot remember, and i have received split lips, cut eyebrows, lumps on the forehead and an occasional scraped ear.  black eyes aren't even worth remembering, just something you wore in the summer like a white t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans, in my part of the country.

you may have surmised two things from the above.--

i have always spoken my mind, perhaps somewhat too freely for some of my compatriots.

and, i was never a very good boxer.  you might say that i just never did learn not to sucker on the feint that set up the one that did the damage.  so, i adjusted.  i took my licks fighting my way in close, and then did my work close in and on the ground.  and, i was serious in my pursuits, and pretty strong, and if i got to you, sometimes it took a broom and a cold garden hose to get me off, because when i fought i became very intent on hurting you: to me, it was not sport.

i am not so very unusual.  lotsa people like me, the tough guys skipped.  no, it wasn't because they would or could not win a fight, it was because the cost of it just wasn't worth the meager returns. so, i did not get picked on by anyone, and the toughs avoided me as a rather bad investment.  i fought with others like me, who were earnest and had grievances.  as i said, i am not so very unusual, and there are lotsa people like me.

i am who islam is gonna to fight.  and, i am whom the leftist bullies are gonna fight.  they will work their way past the politicians and the diplomats, and their bluff and bluster will gain them some investment.  but, then they reach me.  i will be standing there.

me, and those like me.  because a point will come, and it comes soon, when we simply won't take this bullshit anymore, and we will step forward, and we will yield no ground, we will yield nothing, and we will fight.  and we will take the split lips and the bloody nose, and we will close.  and, we will fight in earnest.  and, we will protect our heritage, our values and our religions, and we will suffer no more these impious indignities and attempts upon our liberties.

american democracy has always been that way.  it took 60 years of contention to brew the american civil war, but when it came it was the unleashing of the wrath of g_d, brother upon brother.  it took the attack upon pearl harbor to rouse the united states into involvement in world war two, and i am not so sure i am so proud that we so long in coming to the fight, but when we entered the war we entered the war to finish it, and finish it we did.  we brought to their knees three totalitarian societies bent on world domination, and again it was with a fury and an anger not usually seen in even war.  but, even though islam and our left do not know it, they run out of provocations.

democracies are slow to anger.  the american people are slow to anger.  but, here pretty soon, america will reluctantly shrug its shoulders, it will gird its loins, and it will come forth and defend its land, its heritage its, values.  and islam, and our own domestic left, are going to learn that when the righteous come to fight, we come to finish it, with a pure white anger that knows no succor until the foe lies prostrate before us, vanquished.  i may not see the finish of the fight, but i will sure as hell achieve the finish of it.  my little part, don't you see.

that is the way my friends and i have always lived, and we are quite content, if need be, that it will be the way we pass, as well.  you may rest assured that we will take plenty of company with us, when we go.

janet napolitano is right to regard me with fear, ... , she very well ought to.  she picks a fight with me, she has a fight.  and islam, they will not know what hit them.  and, no, it will not be fair, or with rules of engagement.  no marquis of queensbury.  no rules, just survival.

Your piece touches upon a fundamental dynamic at play in the undercurrents of Western society as a whole. And that is ... we are slow to rouse, but light the fuse, stand back, and let the anger rise up, then watch out; for as you say, there will be no rules, just a fight to the finish.

It has always amused me, where the chattering classes, loaded with sanctimony, spew forth their bold statements that we must not lower ourselves to the enemy's level, for we are better than them; which reveals a fatal flaw in the speakers mental approach ... namely, that those who will not fight for their freedom are doomed to be enslaved by those forces who even now are within the gates of our communities, who have stated their goals, and are busy and actively instituting their agendas.These people are blind to the fact that their current freedom to spout such puerile nonsense, is granted to them by the efforts, exertions and sacrifices of better men than they: better men who, those same pillars of moral virtue will privately, and or often publicly disdain.

Just how many of those same moral pillars are active traitors to their own societies, verses how many are "useful idiots", or active pacifists, is the difficult question; but they will all find out an uncomfortable truth about the human spirit once open conflict breaks out.

For many, the realization of the need to fight will not dawn upon their consciousness until the conflict is upon them.

As for myself, and I suspect for many, many others, anger does not come naturally, at least the anger which engenders the will and fortitude to enter into conflict. No this rage must be built up over time. But you are spot on jj, when you state that the forces who have picked this fight, will not understand what they have done until too late. Tolerance and magnanimity are attributes which only have their place in times of peaceful coexistence, but are a dead weight when imposed during, and/or, especially preceding outright conflict.

The pious would do well to understand the forces which led to the bombing of Dresden, and the total destruction of every major German city during WW11. While the armchair moralists waffle on from the safety of their secure societies, they fail to see that fundamental force of human nature which is loosed by the brutalities of war.

Given Islam's particular obsession with brutality, it is a given that once this conflict breaks out into total war, that brutality will escalate on an exponential scale.

We may argue amongst ourselves at this time that, we do not hate anyone, but that sentiment will evaporate in short order, and is even now crumbling as we speak, as the latent anger wells up inside the hearts and minds of peaceful men.

As for the left, they may have a lock on the national and international narrative of the MSM today, but that grip is slipping by the hour, just as the absolute authority of the ruling elite is sliding away from their grasp.

Anger is a instinctive and very necessary human emotion, and we are constrained to restrain it by convention, but make no mistake, once it is aroused in whole communities, no amount of prettified speeches by dishonest snake oil salesmen will still its advance. Our elites are riding a colossal storm, largely of their own making.

"and islam, they will not know what hit them. and, no, it will not be fair, or with rules of engagement. no marquis of queensbury. no rules, just survival."

Exactly jj ... it will be so, because our elites will lead us to a place, where there is no other choice.
