Propaganda-101, Today's Lesson: Bader S.

It is interesting to note one of the many propaganda techniques most Islamists seem to be so proficient at, and particularly as it is being used in their posts here.

One thing they always do is to attempt to deflect or mitigate any criticism. They do this by accusing the source of the criticism of having the same fault(s). It is a general rule that they never deal with criticism directly. They don't try to disprove criticism with facts, and they never admit the need to repair any personal defect; because the "master race" has no faults. They just ignore their own culpability, and begin looking for the same fault(s) in the accuser in order to put him on the defensive. The weaker their case, the more violent they get. As I have noted before, this is one attribute common to sufferers of 'antisocial personality disorder'. They NEVER take ANY responsibility for their actions, and they blame others for their failings.

In the case of BadarS's disingenuous slander of President Adams, it was to diminish the significance of President Adams' prescient and valid concerns about Islam. And how did Badar do that? By blaming Adams for discrimination against Indians and a non-existant American foreign colonialism.

As to the canard of not doing anything to help Indians, we have:
"And so commenced the final chapter in John Quincy's long life. He served in Congress for the next seventeen years, becoming the most passionate and respected liberal voice in Washington. He spoke out on Indian rights, on the advancement of science, on freedom of speech, on the evil of slavery."

And regarding American foreign colonialism:
He was against it, as were most Americans. After the War of Independance, most of the war fleet was scrapped. (It's kind of hard to get across an ocean to subdue foreigners when you don't have any way of getting there.) It was Jefferson who reluctantly built up the first post-revolution US war-fleet to defend American shipping against Islamic mujahadin pirates operating out of Tripoli.
"Although as secretary of state and vice president he had opposed developing an American navy capable of anything more than coastal defense, President Jefferson dispatched a squadron of naval vessels to the Mediterranean. As he declared in his first annual message to Congress: 'To this state of general peace with which we have been blessed, ONE ONLY EXCEPTION EXISTS'."

And that "One...Exception?" Islam, of course. But appologists for Islamic aggression aren't interrested in the facts, only winning by any means, including deception. It isn't the rightness of their cause, but the victory that matters.

My original source for this can be read at:

...or listened to, here:

Finally, a surprisingly candid Washingtonpost article has the following quote by a West Point History professor regarding the Barbary War:
""I've picked up a lot of parallels," says Capt. Glenn Voelz, a history instructor at West Point. "Maybe we are still fighting the same war."
http://www.washingtonpost.com/ac2/wp-dyn?pagename=article&node=&contentId=A59720-2001Oct14
The "same war?" INDEED!

Unlike the USA, Islam has never left off it's foreign aggression. While America has become progressively more tolerant and never undertaken foreign adventures without provocation, they still strive to conquer, enslave and/or kill whoever isn't like them. To say that Adams is no better than they are is so laughable that it wouldn 't even deserve comment, except in how it illustrates just how duplicitous they are. They do not have, nor have they ever had, anyone even closely resembling Adams.

BaderS and his ilk only exude their toxic verbal droppings in order to confuse and disorient the enemy, which, in case there are still some who don't know it, is us. I normally don't answer them, and almost never directly, because that gives the illusion that I think they might have something important to say. They do not.
