Reason and power..

Submitted by donvan (United States), Mar 2, 2007 at 09:45

Reason is hostage to power. It is power that keeps the wheels on the train of civilization. Power in arms military,intellect, commerce, politics. To willingly surrender power is irrational, unless the benefit gains are greater than the loss of power, which it never is. The power surrendered for security and peace will produce neither.

The intellectual elites of Europe have decided that it is better to surrender and accomodate the Islamic hordes than to resist the ideology, and advance the Judeo-Christian ideals of equality,egalitarianism, and brotherhood. We ,at least, have the perspective of the process of reverse assimilation. This will no doubt be interesting to academia, as we observe the social,psychological,legal, and cultural forces collide. With realization that we will be in a similar situation in time.

As the Muslim political powers increase in the US, with more Ellisons,and fellow travelers like Obama and Conyers, and the support of the Dhimmicrat socialist left, a Muslim caucus will be formed and the conspiracy will become mainstream politics. Using the politics of victimism, as practiced by Jesse Jackson, et al Islam will be hooked to the civil rights movements, and we will be privilaged to pay for the rope to hang ourselves.
