Rudyard Kipling"
“When you're left wounded on Afganistan's plains and
the women come out to cut up what remains, Just roll to your rifle
and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier”
General Douglas MacArthur"
“We are not retreating. We are advancing in another direction.”
“It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.” “Old soldiers never die; they just fade away.
“The soldier, above all other people, prays for peace, for he must suffer and be the deepest wounds and scars of war.”
“May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't .” “The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his.
“Nobody ever defended, there is only attack and attack and attack some more.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
The Soldier stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as bright as his brass
"Step forward you Soldier,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
"No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint."
I've had to work on Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
The Soldier squared his shoulders and said
And I never passed a cry for help
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here.
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here,
Lord, It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Soldier waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, you Soldier,
You've borne your burden well.
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan, Joe Rogan, and the Left’s Cancel Culture Double Standard By Robert Spencer
Tuesday, February 08, 2022
Jihad Watch : My latest in PJ Media:Everyone knows the double standard is in place. It is taken for
granted so much that people barely remark upon it anymore.
When someone
who dissents from the Leftist agenda offends Leftist sensibilities, his
or her career is ruined for good. Remember Roseanne Barr, Tim Allen, and
a host of others. Now the Left has Joe Rogan in its sights for daring
to dissent from COVID orthodoxy and has suddenly discovered that years
ago, he used a racial slur. Spotify has removed over a hundred of his
podcasts, and the end is not in sight.
But if someone who is reliably
Leftist says something that offends the self-appointed guardians of
acceptable opinion, the punishment is slight at best, as we have just
seen with Whoopi Goldberg’s two-week suspension for Holocaust denial
(which doesn’t really bother the hard Left, but they have to keep up
some semblance of an attachment to truth and basic decency). And if the
offending speaker is a member of a group with enough victimhood
privilege, he or she won’t be punished at all, as the career of Mehdi
Hasan indicates.
Mehdi Hasan is a hate-filled far-Left MSNBC host who espouses fashionable Big Lies such as the claim that “white supremacy is now a key ideology of the Republican Party” and “the
far-right domestic terror threat is more dangerous than even Al Qaeda
after 9/11.” During the Whoopi Goldberg controversy, remarks that Hasan
made in 2009 resurfaced, leading many to question why Hasan’s star has
consistently risen in the Leftist media, despite his manifest hatred and
contempt for non-Muslims.
Hasan, a Shi’ite, said of
the early Sunni caliph Yazid: “All of these ulama unanimously agree
that at the very minimum if Yazid was not a Kaffir [unbeliever] — then
at the very minimum he was a fasiq, a transgressor, a breaker of Islamic
laws, a corrupt individual, a tyrant, a killer, a drunkard, a dog
lover, a music lover, a homosexual, a pedophile, a sexual deviant,
someone who slept with his own mother.”
Now, the Left has no problem with corrupt individuals such as Hunter
and Joe Biden if they’re on the right side of the political divide.
Tyrannical themselves, Leftists have no problem with tyrants, either.
Killers? Depends on who is being killed. Drunkard? Dog lovers? Music
lovers? Come on, man! Homosexuals, pedophiles, and sexual deviants? Are
we talking about the staff of CNN now?
Anyway, Hasan then broadened his targets to include atheists: “In
this respect the Koran describes the atheist as cattle. As cattle of
those who grow the crops and do not stop and wonder about this world.”
The Qur’an does indeed say: “Already we have created many of the jinn
and mankind for Gehenna, having hearts with which they do not
understand, and having eyes with which they do not see, and having ears
with which they do not hear. They are like cattle, no, they are worse.
These are the neglectful.” (7:179) There is more.
