Say you live under an oppressive government and decide to fight for a positive change. Of course, Democracy is by definition majority rule, but you believe it’s a start in the right direction. So you decide to participate in a public protest of whatever current regime happens to be in power.

Because you’re technologically savvy, you find that Microsoft has a new product – flexible thin screen electronic membranes – to assist with producing awesome animated protest banners. But there’s a glitch…

Installing Democracy FAIL

Fortunately for you, you’re not in that predicament (yet) and all you have to deal with is refreshing THE OVERNIGHT OPEN THREAD.

Netizen Freespeech Debate: Seriously, Tell Me He Is Wrong!

Although I do not support everything Meir Kahane has ever said or done, I believe in free speech, fighting Terrorism, and the truth.    In addition, the more I learn about the progressive machine’s standard operating procedure for shutting down debate on issues they wish to completely control, the less I care what the politically correct ignorant smear mongers call me – when I know it is they who are wrong!  In the end, the truth is more important than their paper thin emotions.  When the truth is ignored, the silence can result in death.   I will no longer allow that to happen out of fear of being called names.  Avoiding the truth does not make it any less true.

It is my personal belief that Meir Kahane was exceptionally misunderstood by naive, small-minded, and politically motivated hucksters, who slandered him with disgusting epithets in order to serve their own power and agenda.  This is just like how these same forces excuse away the Islamic connection to Terrorism, and whitewash Socialism.  The most commonly held negative opinion of Meir Kahane is one based on misrepresentations of his message, misquotations, lies and ignorance.

But the aforementioned is solely my opinion, and I do not want you to simply take my word for it.  Thus, I greatly encourage you to read his books, and speeches then make up your own mind.

The best way to know anything about someone is to hear it from their own mouth, and then to make up your own mind.  The more I actually hear from Kahane himself, the more I realize one thing….he was right!

Meir Kahane in his own words on issues including violence, democracy, Arabs, Israel, the U.S., and more…

(The first 6 minutes or so is an intro about Kahane.  The direct interview with Rabbi Kahane begins thereafter.)

Meir Kahane was a man who could clearly see through the forces at work to blind us from the uncomfortable truths about Progressive myths.  He warned Israel (and by association the U.S.) of the horrors of Islamic terrorism and the unfortunate necessities in fighting it long before most of us were even thinking about Islam or terrorism at all.  Sure, he wasn’t politically correct, but now I see that to be to his credit!

Kahane was assassinated in a Manhattan hotel in 1990, after concluding a speech warning American Jews to emigrate to Israel before it was “too late.”

The assassination occurred shortly after 9 p.m., following a speech to an audience of mostly Orthodox Jews from Brooklyn; as a crowd of well-wishers gathered around Kahane following the speech in the second-floor lecture hall in midtown Manhattan’s Marriott East Side Hotel.   El Sayyid Nosair, an Egyptian-born American citizen, fatally shot Kahane in the neck.  Kahane ultimately was a victim of the same Islamic terrorism he warned others about!

Instead of just accepting the progressive slander of Meir Kahane that many of us have heard (or will hear if you bring Kahane up in conversation) which is often spread by those who know nothing about him at all but are only repeating what they have heard from others who are also ignorant, hear Kahane from Kahane’s own mouth….and then if you still can, tell me he was wrong!

Return To Tiananmen Square, 20 Years Later

Some Things Have Changed Since China’s Bloody Crackdown On Demonstrators In 1989, Including The Dreams Of Democracy
BEIJING, May 31, 2009

(CBS) Twenty years ago this week, the Chinese government used deadly force to break up a democracy demonstration in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square. Much has changed in the two decades since, but some things haven’t. When asked for comment on this story, the Chinese Embassy in Washington not only declined, but asked us NOT to air the report. Here it is, from Barry Petersen:

Looking for democracy in China? You can find it by millions voting on their cell phones in a Chinese version of “American Idol,” choosing to ignore the paradox that the citizens of the world’s most populous nation are free to vote for a singer … but not for their own leaders.

How distant from 20 years ago when students took over the heart of their nation’s capital, Tiananmen Square, demanding reforms of all kinds, under the gaze of a statue they called the Goddess of Democracy.

Attracting support from millions in all walks of life gave students the bravery to go face-to-face with their leaders, thinking their cause could bring change.

Democracy in Islamic world enables Islamo-Fascism

This article is spot on. Caroline Glick rightly points out that when there are free elections in Muslim countries, Islamists win. This clearly shows that confrontation with non Muslims is popular in these nations.

One civilization clashing

On June 7 Hizbullah will likely take over Lebanon and formally bring the oldest Arab democracy into the Iranian axis.

Iran’s stalking horse will not become the ruler of the largely pro-Western, non-Shi’ite majority country through a violent revolution. Lebanon will become yet another Iranian vassal state through ballots, not bullets. On June 7, Hizbullah and its allied parties are set to win a smashing popular victory in Lebanon’s parliamentary elections.

Hizbullah’s projected victory in these elections is of course not an isolated event. It is part of an Islamist electoral sweep in democratic elections throughout the region. Indeed, Islamists have won every free or partially free election in the region for the past six years.

This is another of Bush’s failed legacies, his insistence on democracy in the Muslim world has enabled our enemies. If there is any doubt the intentions of Islam just look at election results from these nations. No matter how much Obama apologizes, it doesn’t matter. When given a chance to vote Muslims vote for Islamo-Fascists and not secularists. The West is naive and blind, Islam is not peaceful it is an Arabic Imperialistic cult.
