Does the American left love America? Does the Canadian left love Canada?
Does the Jewish left love Israel? Does the left of every civilized nation
love of its country? Of course they do. On one condition. That they agree to
kill themselves first.
To win the love of the left, each country only needs to embrace their ideals
which declare that the country and its people are worthless, unless they
admit their own worthlessness by agreeing to a suicide pact under the
guidance of the left. For America, Britain, Israel, Canada, France, and
every civilized country have no value to them, unless they agree to the
left's ideals. Ideals which declare all these countries evil. An evil that
can only be purged when they agree to destroy themselves.
This Catch
22 is a suicide pact. For if one says that America, England or Israel are
worthless unless they give the same rights to terrorists that they do to
their citizens-- he is in effect saying that America, England and Israel are
worthless either way, as he is only prepared to accept their worth if they
demonstrate their willingness to destroy themselves.
It is the same
thing as a man saying to a woman, "I will only love you, if you kill
yourself." His statement contains the word "love" in it, but it is premised
on her agreeing to cease to exist. Which means that he hates her existence,
and loves the idea of her non-existence. So too the left love their
countries.
This is the "progressive" approach toward the civilized
world. They cannot love Britain, only a New Britain that agrees to flood
itself with so many Muslim immigrants that it chokes and dies under their
numbers. Only when Britain fills itself with her enemies, will they wave the
Union Jack. Otherwise they will hiss and boo, shout and stomp, throw stones
through windows and write passionate songs about how much they hate it. "I
will only love you, if you kill yourself."
They cannot love Israel as
a country that defends its citizens against its enemies. No, they can only
love an Israel that tears off pieces of itself and offers them
apologetically to the enemy. They cannot love an Israel that kills Muslim
terrorists, only one that beats Jewish settlers. They cannot love an Israel
that tries to raise fences to keep the killers away, only that demonstrates
its willingness to let the terrorists kill as many Jewish children as they
can, thereby demonstrating its nobility and willingness to die, rather than
lift a hand to defend itself. Yes J-Street and its activists love Israel.
"I will only love you, if you kill yourself."
And if Israel does not
agree to kill itself, then they will lobby against it, smear it, poison it,
visit it to throw stones, burn the fields of Jewish farmers and write
popular plays denouncing it. This is their love. And if you deny it, you
will be silenced. For they love Israel, there is no denying that. They have
done everything possible to kill Israel, and if it still lives, it is thanks
to the fragmented remains of the army, the few hundred thousand people
living on the frontier hills in the face of terror, and the courageous few
who still dare to speak out. But oh the left loves Israel. How dearly they
love it. They positively love it to death.
And do you doubt for a second that the American left loves their
country? Perish the thought. They love America. The America that legalizes
illegal aliens, displaces its own citizens to make way for them and tears
down all barriers against crime and terror. They love America, so long as it
frees terrorists from prison, and when war is declared against it by a
fanatical cult of mass murderers, it gives the murderers their day in court
with lawyers and a trial. And when the terrorism continues, its leaders tell
the people that the best thing for them to do is go out shopping and lead
their lives as if terrorism doesn't exist. This is the America they love. "I
will only love you, if you kill yourself."
This America, in which the
Constitution is wielded to protect Islamic terrorists and a man who hates
the country can make his office in the White House. Their America in which
the lives of Americans are worthless but the comfortable treatment of
captured terrorists is worth more than gold. In which all of the nation's
history and values are viewed as nothing more than the brutal atrocities of
greedy savages, while the brutal atrocities of newly arrived greedy savages
are treated as heroic achievements worthy of celebration and praise... oh
yes, this America they love.
This corpse of America, plastered in
red, white and blue makeup to cover the wounds inflicted by its enemies.
This charade in which they paint their deathwish for America in the colors
of the flag and hold it up for everyone to salute. This political
necrophilia is the America that they love. This is the Britain that they
love. This is the Israel that they love. This is the Australia, the Denmark
and Holland and France that they love. For they as much as their Islamic
terrorist comrades are in love with death. But where Islam wants to cut off
the head and bury the body, they want to take it to a costume ball, to hold
it up and proclaim it as the New America, the New Britain, the Terra Nova of
appeasement, surrender and death.
The Muslims proclaim a commandment
to fight against the world until there is no one left who will deny that
Allah is god and Mohammed his prophet. The Left proclaims an endless Jihad
against the civilized world until there is no one left who values his
country over any other country, who thinks of his home and family as his
own, who takes home the wages he has worked for, and who sees himself as
better than all the politicians and lawyers who presume to rule over him.
Death to the Infidel, cries the Muslim. Death to the Greedy, the Selfish,
the Capitalist, the Propertarian, the Nationalist, the Patriot, the Father,
the Owner, the Voter, and a thousand such names, cries the Left. In this
propaganda arms race, the Muslim is superior for he has defined his enemy as
being all non-Muslims. The Left too needs a catchy name. A simple word that
covers the spectrum of everyone who does not belong in their new order.
Perhaps they should simply cry out, "Death to the Individual" and have done
with it.
In their more honest moments, leftists will admit that they
do not love America, only its potential. Its potential to be changed by
them. Its hope for a future in which they rule over it. Its potential to be
destroyed by them and remade into something new and awful. Moments like
Michelle Obama proclaiming that she had never been proud of her country
before this, are a chilling glimpse into the mind of the left that cannot
love anything that is not an expression of its own ego. That cannot be helped
but be driven to destroy what it cannot possess.
A nation of individuals is not an idea the left can accept. It must be
destroyed. Burned down and paved over to make way for a collective which the
ego of the left rules over. And then the great pointless struggle of Ingsoc
and Amersoc and Palesoc can begin, the vicious fight of a system against its
own built in inadequacies and the limits of human control over a nation. The
Will of the Left is the Will to Power. To rule as protectors of the people
and destroy all that stands in their way. For the tyrant cannot accept any
law he does not make and any man that does not bow to him. Funnel history
into the trash bin. Burn the flag. And raise up a new one. Red as the blood
you plan to spill. Black as your heart. Yellow as your own secret cowardice
which drives you to power.
It is an old and bloody story with the
left. It is an old and bloody story with the human race. "I will only love
you, if you kill yourself," says the man to the woman. His meaning is that
he cannot love her if there is any part of her that is not a part of his
ego. Only when she has destroyed herself for him, can he love her, because
there is nothing of her left anymore.
This is the insane face of the
left. The skull beneath its skin. They will love America and England. They
will embrace Canada and Israel. They will adore Israel and Australia. When
they are all dead.
