WASHINGTON Two conservative activists deeply involved in the anti-communism movement of the past are planning a broad strategy of re-creating those efforts in a new mass movement to fight radical Islam. Jack Wheeler, a strategist credited with formulating "the Reagan Doctrine" that helped bring down the Soviet Empire, and Steve Baldwin, a former California legislator and the executive director of the Council for National Policy, have teamed up for what they describe as the creation of an "Anti-Islamofascism Movement."
"One cannot write the history of the Cold War without acknowledging the key role played by the American Anti-Communist Movement," they write in a memo to conservative leaders. "It was a broad movement involving many different organizations that, for decades, kept its focus on the defeat of the Soviet Empire. And it succeeded."

Jack Wheeler Ping!!!
Nice idea. Where are the big bucks gonna come from?
I'm signing up.
You're a great American samson!!!
Who needs money when you have ideas / sarc (maybe).
The agenda for such a movement should include the following activities and efforts, they say:
investigate radical mosques
support anti-Islamofascist freedom fighters
thwart attempts to impose Sharia law
form an anti-Islamofascist publishing network
create an anti-Islamofascist portal on the Internet
establish an anti-Islamofascist speakers bureau
wage an ideological assault on Islamofascism
support efforts to evangelize Muslims in Europe and the Middle East
create a global anti-Islamofascist coalition
reframe the illegal immigration issue as one of national security
end dependence on foreign oil that's funding the Islamofascists.
Great ideas. If there isn't serious money behind this, soon, it will die on the vine.
BioDiesel from algae. Changes in US emissions to promote Turbo Diesel cars.
Yeah well, throwing government money at the "war on cancer"
pretty much insured it would never be wiped out. A cure for
cancer would be fatal to those thriving on a cancer research
based economy. MHO.
You're right. This has nothing to do with this post, but I
FEEL better now that I've said it.
BUMP
I'm sure we've got the expertise here on FR to build an anti-islam portal on the Net. I've been wanting to try out Ruby on Rails anyway ...
That's alright. Sometimes we just have to let these thoughts out. Plus, it doesn't hurt when it's the truth!
Thank you. Very enlightening.
How about just killing them? I doubt that you're going to change their minds, so if you don't kill them, then you're just working up a plan for a mutually acceptable level of violence that will go on forever. No thanks.
MFVOV has already joined up with the beginnings.
We never had that problem when faced with Communism. This entire battle is going to be steeply uphill because of our own prevailing fatal Liberal orthodoxies which have taken massive root.
Frankly, I doubt we have a prayer of winning this war until (and unless) the Islamics perform an unprecedented attack upon our country, killing millions or destroying an entire city. It will have to be much more massive than 9/11. Otherwise, we will never wake up, shake off our lethargy, and fight to win this. We'll just be taken apart piece by piece, with Europe sliding first into the abyss.
We need that. The Democrats scream about "alternative energy" but they probably won't support new Diesel technology because it would go a long way to solving our problems. People might have cars that are fun to drive while being environmentally-friendly and reducing our dependence on foriegn oil. It would be a win-win solution but socialists hate win-win solutions.
We should have deeply covert ops killing off these Saudi royals who are funding this crap with their oil money. I think their minds can be changed because they enjoy the life their wealth buys them. It won't be such a game when they start getting their asses "blowed up real good".
The approach to find a middle ground is typically Western, Christian. Agreed that it won't work. Anybody studying the history of their relationship with the West can see this repeatedly. The problem is nobody reads the history nor tries to understand their cult. I would prefer they not be allowed to emigrate anywhere in the West, and those already here, sent packing. Keep them penned in to their own 7th century $h#%holes and watched carefully. The only way to keep them in check is with a military machine ready to destroy them anywhere in the world, at anytime. Sort of "the boot on their neck" method, ready to strike. It is all they understand.
