The lunacy of radical tolerance.

In a superb article, D.L. Adams nails our “bizarre anti- self-legitimization” and the moral sickness of our time:

Our culture is distracted and fragmented due to competing concepts of meaning. In the last 30 or 40 years we have seen the rise of an irrational and radical ultra-tolerance whereby any and all ideologies are accepted because they are different.

There [are] no value judgments placed upon these ideologies, even if they oppose our own because to do so would be to display intolerance; we are sacrificing our nation on the altar of a mistaken and ignorant misunderstanding of the functioning of humanity.

* * * *

As we doubt ourselves and pretend that we live in a world outside historical forces and embrace the ridiculous notion that, only with more and more tolerance and openness, those who wish to destroy us will be turned to friends[, we] completely [forget] the lessons of history and of millennia of human and civilizational development. . . .

* * * *

Post-modernism is a denial of truth and the ability of humans even to know “truth.” . . .

* * * *

We [who are not utopians] are rationalists and students of reality; we are not dreamers living in a fantasy who reject reality because it is impossibly unpleasant (as multiculturalists and post-modernists do).

When the phenomenon of the Crusades is introduced or discussed by college educated people of my acquaintance (and in the non-conservative press), there is, without exception, an expression of disdain or skepticism as though the Crusades are the earliest flowering of essential Christian culture. That Muslim blood was shed by Christian knights and men at arms was a horror never before witnessed in the history of man. Centuries of rape, pillage, slaughter, slavery, and subjugation inflicted by the Muslim hordes throughout the Mediterranean world and beyond are unmentioned. Nor is the need for a violent counter strike to repel and cast out a degraded civilization ever considered. No. The culture of the Familiar is suspect; the culture of the Other is ignored or made the stuff of fantasy.

Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.

Our leaders and vast numbers of the educated, are hors de combat in the civilizational war. Moreover, they are unaware of their delusions yet firmly committed to delusional policies. How else to explain our current president, the leader of a superpower, abasing himself before a jumped up chieftain of a loathsome, piss ant country?

Prof. Adams writes, too, that, “This is our audacity; the audacity to speak the truth and challenge falsehoods and lies.” To speak the truth about Islam today is an audacious act. Geert Wilders in the Netherlands even as you read this, is being prosecuted for speaking that truth.

Not only has President Obama gone to great lengths to conceal the truth about himself, but there will also be ice cream on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro before he speaks the truth about Muslims, the mortal enemies of the country that he leads and is sworn to protect.
