The Tyranny of the Minority

The old expression that the “squeaky wheel gets the most grease”, certainly applies to what is going on in our country today. The phrase “tyranny of the majority” was used by one of our founders, John Adams, explaining that the political function of rights is precisely to protect minorities from oppression by the majorities. Our laws are generally made to protect the rights of the individual (the smallest minority) from oppressive acts by the majority.

But today, we have a phenomenon that could rightly be called the “tyranny of the minority”. With proliferation of the term “political correctness”, small, vocal segments of our population have cowered a good portion of the majority from acting in a way that goes against the prevailing opinion of the majority. Areas where this vocal, and sometimes militant “minority” has used intimidation are in the areas of gay marriage and global warming (a/k/a man-made climate change).

The gay and lesbian community, which represents about 3% of the population, has been very aggressive in promoting the idea of legalizing same-sex marriage in trying to get our laws changed to have the federal and state governments accept gay marriage as the norm. If by chance you disagree with the gay position of marriage, all hell comes down upon the person (s) who advocates that marriage should be between one man and one woman (traditional marriage). With the help of the media, academia, and some feckless liberal politicians, the militant gay community has used coercive tactics against those who disagree with them. Calls for firings and boycotts , for those who are against gay marriage, are means by which the gay community uses to quell dissent. It seems that those who constantly preach for tolerance for themselves, are the same people who are very intolerant of people who believe in traditional marriage and think the marriage laws should not be changed. According to them, there is no place for dissent, and it seems that the “minority” is winning the battle through intimidation and a sympathetic court system made up of mostly liberal progressive judges.

Another area where the “minority” seems to have used intimidation and false facts for their cause is in the area of “global warming” (a/k/a climate change). Ever since Al Gore jumped on the bandwagon in the 1990's, the environmentalists (sometimes referred to as wacko's) have intimidated the news media, academics, and mostly liberal politicians, that we are facing a period of climate “doom and gloom”, whereby even some of our elected officials and bureaucrats have claimed that “man-made climate change” is the major threat to western civilization, even more devastating than than the threat from militant Islam. Some of the “climate change experts” say that it is “settled science”, case closed , and that man-made global warming is, in fact, a real and ominous threat to all of civilization. Wait, not so fast, it is not settled science.

Of course we have climate change, and it has been occurring since the dawn of time, and back in those days, we weren't using fossil fuels. Some very knowledgeable scientists and climatologists , such as Dr. Richard Lindzen of M.I.T., Dr. Timothy Ball of the University of Winnipeg, and the founder of the Weather Channel, John Coleman, dispute this theory of man-made climate change and claim that the proponents are using “smoke and mirrors” to promote this flawed theory of man-made global warming to mainly enrich themselves by getting massive amounts of government and foundation money grants to justify their erroneous theory. They mock the people who challenge them and call them “deniers” and they look upon them as creatures from outer space, but most people, the majority, don't buy into the “doom and gloom” scenario, but many countries have bought into it and have spent a lot of money foolishly trying to control Mother Nature, which is an exercise in futility.

So, to make a long story short, instead of the majority imposing their will on the public, we see a militant group of agenda-driven people (the minority) imposing their views and thoughts on the rest of us, that's what I call the “tyranny of the minority”.

The Disease That Must Be Dealt With

We are facing a danger that will sweep the world worse than the plague. Every effort must be exerted by every civilized society to recognize the destruction it will cause if we don't eliminate it before it gets a foothold, causing a mammoth disaster and uncontrollable destruction. I'm not referring to the EBOLA virus. This deadly disease is known as SHARIAH, and the Typhoid Marys designated to spread the disease are radical Jihadists, who transform Islam into a psychopathic religion. This Muslim cancer will metastasize in our Constitution if we do not out law it now.

The sponsors of Shariah law condone homicide, evidenced by the beheadings shown on the Internet, of innocent, unarmed, non combative souls, whose crime was to provide humanitarian assistance and news. We are a nation of laws, manifested against the abuse of women, children and murder, respecting the rights and human dignity of its citizens, and freedom to worship without coercion on anyone.

The purveyors of Shariah are an abomination to the human race, so the first amendment should not apply, because Islam is not a pure religion, and in many cases a form of government that shouldn't afford them protection against discrimination, allowing them to carry out dastardly acts on us to conform to their ideology.

Human sacrifice is a primitive ritual that had its day in the age of ignorance. It persists today in the form of suicide bombers, by influencing the weak minded imbeciles, who can easily be manipulated by self serving Imams and Mullahs, promising 72 virgins awaiting them in paradise, instead of teaching them about loving one wife and rejoicing in their daughters.

Misguided entities such as the ACLU, who may file a law suit on behalf of Islam, should instead fight relentlessly against Shariah as it does against the display of the Ten Commandments, Crucifixes such as the cross on Mount Soledad in La Jolla; backing condo commandos against the American flag and school boards against the pledge of allegiance.

It's clear what has to be done to save the world from itself, but there is more to fighting radicalism alone. The Neville Chamberlain mind set still exists and political correctness persists, to stifle attempts requiring the proper action for a solution.

In a card game, you can't reveal the hand you're holding and expect to win. Keep your cards close to your vest and determine whether to hold, pass or raise the ante is a strategy to keep your opponents guessing. Giving them your intentions before the next card is dealt shows them you are a green horn, and open to a fleecing by card sharks. Lacking concentration on matters at hand, the stack of chips in front of the President is vanishing and it's time to heed the advice from his experts and not rely on gut feeling, that offers flip-flops only and not boots on the ground.

Derelict governments bred complacency that led to two world wars. To head off a third one, the President and Congress need to come together for joint legislation to out law Shariah and set example for other nations to follow, so that rogue organizations and their splinter groups like ISIS can never be a menace or ever become a threat again.

This Memorial Day Remember Our Fallen Heroes

Memorial Day was initially called Decoration Day and is a time when we remember and honor those military Veterans who gave their lives for our country. We salute the Veterans who served and gave their all to protect the freedoms which we enjoy.

Hillary Clinton on the Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq – 2002

This was stated before the Senate on Oct 10, 2002

“In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid and comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons”. HILLARY CLINTON

She couldn't have been more clear in voting to give Pres. George Bush the authority to attempt regime change in Iraq. She had access to the same intelligence as both Pres. Bush and V. Pres. Chaney, so any disclaimer by her, today, about her agreement to attack Iraq, is disingenuous to say the least.

Others who made similar statements prior to us invading Iraq were:

John Kerry
Jay Rockefeller
Henry Waxman
Carl Levin
Madelaine Albright
Pres. Bill Clinton
Robert Byrd
Joe Biden
Al Gore
Ted Kennedy
Tom Daschele
Harry Reid
Sandy Berger
Nancy Pelosi
etc., etc., etc.

By the way, all of the above were Democrats.

HILLARY Clinton "Took Me Through Hell" Says 12 Year Old RAPE Victim!

This tape reveals Hillary Clinton voluntarily defended a child rapist that she knew was guilty. In this 1980's taped interview, Hillary Clinton laughed about getting the convicted rapist of a 12 year old child off on a technicality. Hillary got him off with time served in county jail, about 2 months. She says she used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison, down to a lesser charge."

The audio recordings also capture Hillary chuckling about her efforts to exploit the local authorities' mistake, which ultimately allowed her client to get off with an extremely reduced sentence on lesser charges. The Hillary laughter over decidedly unfunny developments is strange and disgusting.

A legal expert quoted by the Washington Free Beacon, which published the original story, also questioned the ethics of Clinton revealing the results of her client's polygraph test. She told a reporter that the accused man passed the test, which "forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs," a clear indication that Hillary knew of her client's guilt. The Free Beacon piece did not quote the victim extensively, saying that the woman (now 52 years old) declined an interview. She did, however, express a "deep and abiding hostility" toward Mrs. Clinton. In the wake of the audio's release, the victim, who comes across as a troubled woman, has every reason to remain furious with Hillary.

MORT’s meanderings

We’ve reached ‘The Point of No Return’.

Following Charles A. Lindbergh’s epic flight in 1927 when he was the first to fly the Atlantic Ocean, solo, non-stop from New York to Paris, aviators became aware of that point in trans-Atlantic flying, known as, ‘The Point of No Return’.

That meant, the point at which the fuel supply calculated to allow the pilot to reach his destination in Europe or return him to a safe landing back in the U.S. became one and the same.  To proceed beyond that point in the planned trip, meant, there was no turning back.  

Today, we citizens here in the United States of America who are concerned with the imminent threat of ISIS terrorists and others who mean to do us harm, should  know that,   ‘WE HAVE REACHED THAT POINT OF NO RETURN’.   We cannot go back to where we were before ‘911’.  We can never return to the false comfort of that delusionary mind-set that made us feel secure because of the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean that separated us from the bad guys in Europe and the Middle East. To quote a cartoon character from the 1930’s, “Them days is gone forever!”.  Let us not delude ourselves for one moment longer.  Awaken to the danger.

Our mortal enemies and they are many, have one objective in common – they want to destroy our Liberty and take complete control of our nation and its people by something known as, a ‘Caliphate’.  This term goes back to 1614.  What it means is that nothing less than world domination by the followers of Islam is their goal.  And, they are driven by their ideology.  

Radical-Militant Islam fully intends to take over the control of America by one of two tactics or,  by a combination of both.  1. Stealthy integration and the gradual imposition of Shariah law across the land until they gain their objective or,  2. a campaign of vicious, blood-thirsty mayhem & murderous attacks on men, women and children in this country that will force the populace to submit to Islam’s takeover.  Make no mistake, the wheels are turning –

             The bad guys are already inside our gates; they are here – NOW!

So, this is Paul Revere riding hard and shouting the warning.  Do not turn away.  Never, ever presume that someone else is going to protect you.  Do not think it can’t happen here.  Do not poo-poo efforts to take pre-emptive action to protect us – that’s all of ‘us’.  Act as if the goons are coming up your driveway right now – because they are.  Get educated; take a crash course in radical Islam.  Listen to the experts on what’s happening as we speak.  And for the sake of reason – DO NOT COUNT ON SELF-CENTERED, ELECTED DEMOCRATS TO PROTECT YOU.   Do you want to see who can protect you?  Look into your mirror.  Time to ‘Wake up, America’.
