Scaring White People
Townhall.com ^ | August 28, 2010 | Bill O'Reilly

Posted on 08/28/2010 5:14:59 AM PDT by Kaslin

With polls showing that about 70 percent of Americans believe building an Islamic cultural center containing a mosque just two blocks away from Ground Zero is inappropriate, the far left is once again on the run. Failing with the bogus "freedom of religion" argument, the crew that is offended by the manger scene at Christmas is now saying the mosque controversy is another attempt to "scare white people." Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson has put forth that loopy argument from his second home: MSNBC.

You may remember that the radical left designated the Shirley Sherrod story, the ACORN scandal, the New Black Panther Party-voting booth-Justice Department situation and the resignation of White House "green jobs" czar Van Jones as attempts to scare white Americans. I don't know about you, but I'm white and those stories did not frighten me. I hope I'm not out of the white loop.

But here's a key question: Why are Howard Dean and Sen. Harry Reid trying to scare white people? Those committed liberals both believe the mosque should be built somewhere else. Why are these guys trying to frighten Caucasians, and what can we do to stop them? It is simply unfair to have the Senate majority leader and the former governor of Vermont running around trying to instill fear into white guys and gals. This must stop.

What is somewhat scary is that the far-left media continue to peddle this stuff even in the face of economic disaster. CNN and MSNBC are in deep ratings trouble. Newsweek magazine recently sold for one dollar, and Time is having a tough go of it, as well. Air America is bankrupt. The New York Times and The Washington Post are not nearly as successful or influential as they used to be. Not all of those concerns are far left, but they do have an ideological kinship with the loons. It's just a matter of degree.

Meanwhile, the anti-liberal Fox News Channel and The Wall Street Journal, whose editorial page is conservative, are both doing very well. (Full disclosure: I work for Fox News, whose parent company, News Corporation, also owns The Wall Street Journal.)

It is because of situations like the Ground Zero mosque that the far left has lost credibility, as well as viability. Americans are not stupid. They understand that New York City has more than 100 mosques. One more located near the site where fanatical Muslims murdered thousands of innocent people is certainly not necessary -- especially considering the building would offend thousands of people who lost loved ones on 9/11. Why would anyone want to offend them? Paging President Obama.

This Islamic attack, which made room to build at Ground Zero, was an attempt to scare white people. The opposition to the Victory Mosque has nothing to do with scaring anyone and everything to do with dignity and propriety.

The left will embrace ANYTHING that is anti-Christian. This is their raison d’etre.

Too many liberals mistake fear for anger amongst white people. It's as if they go out of their way to insult and demean in order to shut up whites. They are way off the mark, whites who generally try to follow the teachings of Jesus are long suffering and try to turn the other cheek but that's not fear.

God is long suffering until he gets pissed.

The elite are the ones who are afraid.

We aren’t bowing down to their pronouncements and agreeing that we are bigoted, racist, fearmongering, ignorant, and whatever else they throw at the wall.

All I can tell them is this:

I Don’t Hear You. You are Static.

SHUT UP.

Mainly they aggrivate White People. I think we should charge them an aggrivation tax.

All this is about is dividing people into warring groups. They have succeeded. Their goal is to increase class warfare leading to the destabilization of civil society.
Look it in the communist playbook.

As previously noted, it is not fear, it is anger. I do not fear muslims or their backyard societies themselves, they can be easily defeated if we fought wars the old fashion way, attrition and mass destruction of their cities, like WWII. No, I am angry at the elitists in this country, primarily liberal, who hate America for what it real is, a Western, Judeo-Christian, democratic, capitalist society. And their methods of destroying it by introducing continued atheist/humanist, socialist/marxist political and economic thought, along with revisionist history, through the media, public sector and entire school system. Further exacerbated by allowing foreign invasion of our culture by peoples who either have no desire to assimilate to the American way of life or it’s culture, or worse, change it into the third-world $hithole they came from, both economically and culturally. We are being destroyed by our own first, in order to create a world “they” see fit, not based on the ideals of our Founding Fathers or the tenets of Western Civilization. This is a betrayal of the worst kind, by our own, with influences from outsiders as well. This can’t go on for much longer if we care to preserve our society and culture, if political change does not occur to put America back on the correct path, then worse will happen. And it will happen, because there is no where else to go.

Liberals want things the way they think it “should” be based on whatever bullsh8t they read last week instead of the way things are which is how God created it.

Because our “elite” rule by stunts and taboos. Gin up a stunt like a mosque, gay marriage, Sherrod et al and then bombard the population with hatred in an attempt to intimidate.
