Radical Islam Warrants More Government Intrusion, Says Blankley

Already happening in both Europe and the United States.

Living in a Muslim majority country and having a prescience of what was to come, this was one of my first posts here at FR and on my blog - links to the originals are in the link below

Things are not going to get better FRiends, they are going to get much worse. America is destined to become like Singapore in the near future.

Freedom in America as we once knew it is gone - never to return.

America is ill prepared to fight Islam and has no chance at winning. To win would require a resolve that I really dont forsee happening in today's political environment.

America: Eyes Wide Shut on Muslim Integration

"Many in the West in recent years have been enamored and envious of the social stability and economic growth rates exhibited by countries in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia and Singapore. Multiculturalism and diversity here are often heralded as the primary catalyst for development, growth and ingenuity both here and abroad. What many in the West fail to understand that is that this perceived Utopian society that many in the West wish to emulate would never function without the authoritative measures needed to constantly behind the scenes defuse all the ethnic and religious time bombs present in such a multicultural society."

"To maintain order and to ensure steady economic growth, stability both social and political, many are seemingly willing to initially forgo civil liberties in return for safety and stability. It is the safety and security of the nation that comes first before the individual. Countries such as Malaysia and Singapore prize stability and consensus while at the same time eschewing what they see as Western-style democracy which they claim has an emphasis on political conflict and debate."

"In the years ahead, as the world tries desperately to cope with population increases, demographic imbalances, unemployment, and both external and internal threats from quasi-fascist movements such as Islamic fundamentalism it will be social order and stability that will become of paramount importance to many people, much more so than liberty or freedom. Having already placed their lives in the omnipotent hands of the State, is it really such a leap of logic for one to foresee that individuals in the near future will think nothing of sacrificing freedom for security?

"Not unlike the countries in Southeast Asia, America and the West will seriously have to consider implementating further authoritative measures within our own societies in the near future to deal with the revanche of Islamic fundamentalism should we fail to address the political aspirations and aspects of Islam now."

Things are not going to get better FRiends, they are going to get much worse. America is destined to become like Singapore in the near future.

I agree with the first part of that statement. They are going to get worse and that will be the catalyst for those who turn their heads or refuse to see the danger. When car bombs start going off and there is a full fledged attack against us as in another 9-11 or worse. You sit back and watch what millions of pissed off Americans looking for some payback will accomplish. 9-11 caught us with our pants down, it won't happen a second time. I don't believe this government will be able to control what will happen. As far as our military goes, I can't see the average American soldier shooting their own family members if the gov. told them to put down the trouble. We, the angry fed up American citizen fighting against the jihadists being the 'trouble.'

The second part of your comment, 'America is destined to become like Singapore in the near future.' don't you believe it.

You can't feel anger boiling and growing just underneath the surface of the American citizen? Our government has sold us out to the highest bidder, and we know it, and they know we know it.

It would keep them up at night to know just what the common man and woman in this country is thinking.

I've probably said to much already but here's a piece of advice, never underestimate the man and woman in the street. Should head chopping start up here-I won't finish that comment.

"You can't feel anger boiling and growing just underneath the surface of the American citizen? Our government has sold us out to the highest bidder, and we know it, and they know we know it."

Oh I see it boiling alright - and to use a analogy, it is more like slowly boiling a frog in hot water.

I see Americans talking a lot - but basically just complaining and then doing nothing. I often wonder where is the breaking point.

At this point you already have half the country willing to elect a Socialist to the nation's highest office! Please tell me that America can pull themselves back from the abyss - because from where I sit I see nothing but darkness ahead.

I watched the country zipping down the slippery slope at the speed of sound and the velocity continues to increase.

I could give a list of outrages, but then again it seems pointless. In all honesty I never imagined that political correctness would end up having America in a choke hold the way it does.

So tell me... when do Americans say enough? When do the pitchforks and lanterns come out?
