Activists for Peace: “Oh, How I Wish We Could Assassinate”
Hat tip: Hot Air
It is incredibly disturbing how the activists who align themselves with the “peace” movement carry fantasies of assassinating people. Betty Williams was apparently some Irish peacenik going down to Dallas to talk about impeaching Bush. She won a Nobel Peace Prize(1976), among such other peace greats like Yassir Arafat, Kofi Annan, and Jimmy Carter. I’ve heard Al Gore and Rush Limbaugh have both been nominated, but I sincerely doubt Rush will win. The Nobel Peace Prize has essentially become a platform for left-wing ideological puritanism.
There is a difference between pacifism and appeasement. Gandhi and King were pacifists, not appeasers. They practiced passive resistance; today’s peaceniks practice active appeasement. Peaceniks today are the modern version of Neville Chamberlain. Peace activists of today believe if you fold to your enemy whatever they want, they will simply be placated and go away. They believe we just need to “understand” the people who are trying to kill us and all will be clear. Unless of course, we come to the understanding that they really do just want to kill us in the name of their fanatical religion. If the truth is too hard for the modern day Chamberlain to swallow, they simply ignore it and go back to their “if only we could reach an understanding.” Peaceniks are oblivious to reality. They have never heard the phrase “those who beat their swords into plowshares end up plowing fields for those who don’t.” Nor do they place any confidence in the wisdom “speak softly and carry a big stick.”
Real peace comes from “big stick” diplomacy. For as much weakness and ineptitude the UN possesses, no matter how many condemnations it makes on America and Israel, it is ultimately a worthless institution because it cannot back up its words. This is because Israel and America each speak softly and carry a big stick. Many Middle Eastern oil renting tinpot dictators have tried to overtake Israel and failed. America has repulsed Nazism and Communism. Those who make it their duty to bean count every atrocity committed by America have to scratch, scrounge, and even imagine charges to bring up. A simple newspaper reading will expose the corruption of such rogue nations as North Korea, Venezuela, Palestine, Iran, and Cuba.
How ironic it is that those who “fight for peace” actually stump for dictators, fascinate about assassinations of foreign leaders in their own lands, and are nothing but useful idiots and doormats for forces that would silence them –violently- in an instant.
