![]() Darwin may fail temporarily in civilization and that failure always spells that entire civilizations’ demise. Natures desire to eliminate those unable to provide for themselves or their mates and offspring may be denied for centuries but, nature always gets her due and cannot tolerate the dumb forever. The civilization that denied her will fall along with them. This has always happened in the past. It’s happening right now in the West. The stupid and lazy vote. The ambitious and immoral are elected. Civilization crumbles under the weight of corruption. Civility from the “Progressive” left: "I'm not afraid of anybody. This is a tough game. You can't be intimidated. You can't be frightened. And as far as I'm concerned, the Tea Party can go straight to hell." --Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) "Let us all remember who the real enemy is. The real enemy is the Tea Party. ... The Tea Party holds the Congress hostage." --Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me...It is a terrible fight, and it is between two wolves. One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, pride and superiority. The other wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. This same fight is going on inside of you and every other person too." They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied..."The one I feed." ~ H/T to carinadolce "The Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions." --American statesman and senator Daniel Webster (1782-1852) "The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits." ~ Plutarch (AD 46–120) "For decades, conservatives have endured the brickbats of progressive arrogance, with any resistance to their worldview labeled as 'mean-spirited,' 'racist,' 'homophobic,' 'xenophobic,' 'misogynistic,' 'imperialistic,' etc., etc. ad nauseam. ... [C]an conservatism survive without progressivism? Without a scintilla of a doubt. Can progressivism survive without conservatism? Not the proverbial snowball's chance in hell. It a testament to the obtuseness of the progressive mindset that the foundation of their worldview is built on sand. It is a sand on which the idea of 'spreading the wealth around' presumes either the endless goodwill of the wealth creators, or their never-ending surrender to progressive guilt-mongering. And when either emotion can no longer be manipulated, you get what you just got in Wisconsin: a hate-filled debacle of death threats, extortion and an unabashed attempt to toss the foundations of our democratic republic into a ditch. Only those without an ounce of shame could characterize an attempt to be responsible with the wealth created by the taxpayers of that state as an 'assault on democracy.'" --columnist Arnold Ahlert “The idea that government workers are, or should be, some sort of protected class immune to the winds of economic reality is one that Americans are beginning to reject as they see the raw entitlement mentality on display.” ~ C. Edmund Wright “At its core, socialism is an ideology that uses government force and coercion to make people behavior in a manner that they would not otherwise if given the freedom to choose. Therefore, violations of basic inalienable human rights (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) are the inevitable result of this attempt to socially engineer economic and other ideological outcomes from the top down.” ~ Richard J. Little Forrest Davis, an adviser to Senator Taft asked: “Is not the prevailing political ‘liberalism’...that potpourri of indiscriminate do-goodism trending into statism and Marxism and blending so indistinguishably with treason, that is the deepest enemy of the traditional America and the West?” The Liberal, exclaimed Davis, “has looked upon the face of evil and found it half good.” As “progressives” allow racists, national socialists, communists and fascists within their ranks – we must continue to expel those that do not belong within ours. “As I was faced with the reality of America’s freedom I still fought my heretical thoughts with appeals to the last of all socialist excuses: “Socialism has never been tried.” For a Communist, the embarrassment of reality must be opposed by a stubborn insistence on airbrushing history to preserve a semblance of respectability. Having been so wrong for so long about politics, life, and economics, it was excessively difficult to face the devastating truth. One day, I finally accepted the error of my poorly crafted deception. I realized that socialism had been tried and the result had been, and will always be, the Gulag.” ~ Ismael Hernandez, the founder of the Freedom & Virtue Institute "There has been a continuing, albeit concealed, alliance between international political capitalists and international revolutionary socialists — to their mutual benefit. This alliance has gone unobserved largely because historians — with a few notable exceptions — have an unconscious Marxian bias and are thus locked into the impossibility of any such alliance existing. The open-minded reader should bear two clues in mind: monopoly capitalists are the bitter enemies of laissez-faire entrepreneurs; and, given the weaknesses of socialist central planning, the totalitarian socialist state is a perfect captive market for monopoly capitalists..." ~ Antony C. Sutton "The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse." --James Madison "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily." --George Washington “The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.” This was an anonymous response to an article about Obama's job performance. "Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious." — George Orwell (1984) “Like it or not, conservatism must come face-to-face with the fact that conservative government entails constant commitment to the cause of individual liberty. It requires rigorous and unrelenting pressure on currently elected officials. And, most important, it requires consistent turnover of candidates who were elected running on conservative principles -- but who have strayed from their promises.” ~ Larrey Anderson "The American people must regain the ability to distinguish between wants and needs and must shed the ridiculous notion that government exists to provide either. Our Constitution -- drafted by men well acquainted with the abusive capacities of a centralized government -- limited the roles and responsibilities of the federal government in order to allow the principle of self-government to flourish in the new nation. Government exists to preserve and protect the sphere of civil freedom within which we can work to meet our needs and our wants. Government does not exist to provide them." ~ columnist Ken Connor “Of course, [a] strategy of relying on [Middle Eastern Islamic] ultra-nationalism in order to destabilize a secular left has had a domestic counterpart. Indeed, the domestic Cold War has had the unsurprising result of weakening the left, strengthening the right and therefore not only making it more likely that the nation will be ensnared by quagmires such as those unfolding in Iraq and, ironically, Afghanistan but, as well, insures that labor will continue to be pulverized by capital at home.” ~ (text of a speech delivered at the reception of the Communist Party USA archives at the Tamiment Library at New York University) ""Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ~ C.S. Lewis "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." ~ The late Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931 - 2005 “There is a difference between being denied an opportunity because of the color of your skin and being negatively stereotyped by some passer-by on the street. If you can't see the difference in legitimate racism which is institutional and systematic you will be wasting time fighting over an ignorant opinion as opposed to legitimate oppressive behavior. It’s just that simple. Show me whites denying (qualified) blacks jobs and I'll fight for that, show me a cartoon with a monkey in it and I'll say don't read that paper and tell your friends why if they ask. PICK YOUR FIGHTS!! You can't change thought or censor expression, all you can do is tackle legitimate systematic impediments.” ~ Allen Fletcher "The beauty of the second amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it." ~ Thomas Jefferson "If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." ~ Samuel Adams “America is at that awkward stage, where it’s too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.” ~ Claire Wolfe A wise man's heart directs him toward the right, but the foolish man's heart directs him toward the left. ~ Ecclesiastes 10:2 "Throwing history down the memory hole enables the Left to detach itself from past failures, appear forever fresh and new, and perpetuate an ideology that by virtue of natural selection should have perished long ago." ~ Daniel J. Flynn We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions." ~ Adolf Hitler (Speech of May 1, 1927. Quoted by Toland, 1976, p. 306) The vision of a “classless society,” i.e., a society not merely of equal opportunity, but equal condition contradicts human nature – because people are different, they end up unequal, regardless of the starting point – society will not accord with it unless forced. The redistribution of wealth and socialized healthcare are born of totalitarian ideologies because people are forced to pay for the services of others. Why was political and economic conservatism seen as connected with authoritarianism, while the demand for state socialism was not?" Martin Jay, The Dialectical Imagination, p. 247, 248. It is our contention that Communism, Nazism and Fascism are all left-wing socialist worldviews. Nazism is bolshevism with a German twist and Fascism is bolshevism with an Italian twist. See Ludwig von Mises, Socialism, pp 523-532. "I submit that … atheistic ideology that sees people as clay and "government" as sculptor is not secular humanism, but secular statism -- a theocracy-without-a-theos that still criminalizes sin ("greed")." ~ Barry Loberfeld “You can’t make Socialists out of individualists — children who know how to think for themselves spoil the harmony of the collective society which is coming, where everyone is interdependent.” - John Dewey "Political correctness is the narrowing of the range of acceptable opinions to those held by a small group that enforces it. It is an attempt, often successful, to coerce the majority to accept the opinions of the enforcing group by suppressing any contrary opinion and making independent thought unacceptable." ~ Dr. Jonathan I. Katz, a Professor of Physics at Washington University, St. Louis, Mo. “[U]nder Socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly fed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you liked it or not. If it were discovered that you had not the character and industry enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner. . . .” - George Bernard Shaw , 1928. At the root of the definition of liberal is a desire to change the world, and to use government as a tool to better all humanity, although, this change comes in the form of “equality for all” ultimately - as history proves - at the cost of liberty. "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." -Thomas Jefferson "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened." - Norman Thomas, American socialist "Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes." (emphasis mine) - Marx and Engels; The Communist Manifesto; 1848 "A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within." ~ Roman orator Marcus Tullius Cicero "A neoconservative," ... "is a liberal who has been mugged by reality." According to another definition, a neoconservative is one who utters two cheers for capitalism instead of three. In any case, one of the salient developments of the past decade has been the intellectual journey of various liberals and social democrats toward conservative positions. Many neoconservatives, in fact, are former anti-communist liberals of the Harry Truman/Hubert Humphrey/Henry Jackson wing of the Democratic Party who now find themselves, bereft of a political home since the capture of their party by the McGovernites in 1972. There is... [a] class of ... people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do do not want to lose their jobs. ~ Booker T Washington. Racism comes from placing people in groups. Diversity means Disunity. When we start putting hyphens before "American" then we start driving down a slow road to destruction. Do your historical researching. No free nation has survived disunity and diversity. What is all this garbage? Black-(hyphen)American, Hispanic-American, White-American, Gay-American, Asian-American, etcetera... With all of these crazy hyphens coming before "American" then we no longer really see the individual as an "American" we see them for what comes before the hyphen. We have to quit this rediculous "Hyphen" mentality if we truely wish to rid the U.S. of racism and diversity... Instead of focusing on what seperates us by all these God forsaken hyphens, shouldn't we just focus on what makes us all similar... That being Americans. It's simple. ~ irishwolf81 "You know, people say, "Well, legal citizens commit these type of crimes" and that is true, they do, but saying legal citizens commit the same atrocities makes the illegal’s what... less illegal?" ~ lilliput3197 "If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero's path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed." ~ Lt. Col. Dave Grossman Those who ignore threats = Statistics and Casualties “I am constantly amazed that people think that admitted pacifists should have a say in how we prosecute wars. You might as well ask vegetarians how you should cook your steak.” ~ Jay Vaughn “Rather than focusing on terrorism as the sole method of group action, as is the case with Al-Qaeda, in perfect postmodern fashion the use of terror falls into a multiplicity of options available to progressively infiltrate, confront, and eventually establish Islamic domination over the West. The following tactics and techniques are among the many recommendations made in The Project: - Instituting alliances with Western “progressive” organizations that share similar goals” ~ From the Muslim Brotherhoods “The Project” The U.S. Constitution is not only older than France 's, Germany 's, Italy 's or Spain 's constitution, it's older than all of them put together. "There is no such thing as eternal friendship or eternal hostility - only eternal interests. I acknowledge that there are many issues on which we differ with the U.S. and the West. But am I supposed to turn these differences into criterion or standard by which I view others? I think not. I may have differences of opinion with my friends, but there are also many positive things, so why should I focus on the negative only, and ignore things that are positive?" ~ Abd Al-Hamid Al-Ansari Comments (Note: Comments on articles are unmoderated, and do not necessarily reflect the views of Sharia Vigilant.

Rebel against hope and optimism. Instead, despair so as to facilitate the settling in of reality and enable a willingness to fight.Our revolutionary founders weren’t optimistic – they despaired Hope and optimism are an enemy to initial revolution.
