Chicken Farm

You have to wonder, deep down, what folks like Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan, and Rosie really wanted to happen this weekend in New York.

I mean, think about it. From all of the rhetoric of the antiwar left, we've got to believe that George W. Bush and the U.S. millitary are the terrorists, right? That 9/11 couldn't have really been caused by Islamic Fundamentalists who hate anyone who isn't an Islamic Fundamentalist, especially Americans. And so the thwarted Kennedy plot was probably just that a$$ Bush offing some innocent people who maybe pissed off his big oil buddies, right?

How can you go through things like this weekend and NOT believe that we need to be now, more than ever, involved in the global War on Terror?

Truly, though, I think we have been a little too PC in this whole thing. The "war on terror" is one method to describe the current international conflict between millitant Islamic fundamentalism and the rest of the world, especially Western Democracy. Why does millitant Islam hate Western Democracy? Well, Western Democracy is made up of two very divergent and opposed ideologies: namely, what remains of Christian Rationalism and Modernist Liberalism. Millitant islam hates Christian Rationalism because, of course, millitant Islam hates Christianity. It hates Modernist Liberalism because Modernist Liberalism is decadent.

This is not all that dissimilar to the conflict that occured at the nation's founding. What remained of Catholicism (i.e. France) was in conflict with the Biblical Christianity/Rationalism alliance, represented by England. Our little war of revolution was just a small part of that bigger conflict, just as Iraq, for example, is a smaller part of our larger conflict today. To miss this is to completely miss reality.
