Dorothy hits it
Dorothy Rabinowitz, the only legitimate reporter on any major American newspaper, always hits the point, always asks the right question.
This morning:
The latter point is critical. During these 8 years of sorta-halfway-wartime, authorities have constantly propagandized about the need to be preventive, the need to think in a "post-9-11" way. But underneath the propaganda, those same authorities have relentlessly and fiercely punished anyone who dared to follow the propaganda, anyone who dared to name the enemy. Those same authorities have guaranteed that our soldiers are maximally vulnerable to enemy attack, forbidden to fight effectively. This treasonous policy of national suicide has been obvious in Iraq and Afghanistan from the start, and it's finally come home to America.
And no, this is not an "unfortunate and unintended consequence" of anti-discrimination laws. This is the single solitary purpose and goal of anti-discrimination laws. Anti-discrimination laws are designed to collapse civilization by preventing rational thought, by halting self-preservation. We are required by law to be less intelligent than bacteria. ¶ 6:05 AM
This morning:
"This terrible event," Gen. Casey noted, "would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty."
To hear this, and numerous other such pronouncements of recent days, was to be reminded of all those witnesses to the suspicious behavior of the 9/11 hijackers who held their tongues for fear of being charged with discrimination. It has taken Maj. Hasan, and the fantastic efforts to explain away his act of bloody hatred, to bring home how much less capable we are of recognizing the dangers confronting us than we were even before September 11.
