My "You Have Come A Long Way Baby"

Just like the old Virginia Slims commercial used to say. The "Fundamental Transformation Of America" continues apace.

It certainly has been a big leap from the 27 Medals Of Honor awarded for valor on the Island Of Iwo Jima in 1945 to today's Bronze Star awarded for Islamic Sensitivity training. Training America's military how to deal with America's enemies sensitively? In the old days it was simply a bayonet through the gut, putting a 50 cal round through their body, or dropping a mortar round on their head. Sounds more like engineering for defeat, instead. Now Comrade Barack wouldn't be approving of anything like that eventuality, would he?

Holland M Smith, George S Patton, Ira C Acker, and William F Halsey all just turned over in their graves.

Welcome to the matriarchy. When masculinity becomes socially criminalized, feelings become the ultimate virtue in society. We live in an overtly sexist anti-male time in western history. So much so, in fact, that the vast majority of males today are even on the wrong side of it. They have been conditioned to behave like women with penises.

 

Begin with Islam being America's enemy and enjoy the ensuing car crash.

 

Islam is the enemy of everything not Islam, and that's by design, straight from the pedophile prophet himself.

 

To frightened, ignorant people that's true.

Are you like me and find it especially amusing when a Catholic speaks of Islam being a pedophile cult?

So tell me, brave enlightened one, what do you call a guy in his 50's who marries a 6 year old girl other than pedophile? I know pedophilia is the next frontier for progressive "alternative lifestyles", but that's still decades away, isn't it? You guys have other lifestyles to normalize first before that envelope gets pushed.

No, thankfully.

Not really, since the figure that Catholics worship isn't a pedophile himself. Looks like your poor attempt at a moral equivalence has failed, but I understand your desire to turn the conversation away from Islam. White progressives feel 'icky' criticizing something related to brown people.

 

It never takes long to hook an accusation of pedophile support from the feeble, I've noticed.

 

Unless they're criticizing them for being conservative. Which is apparently the only thing that a non-white person can do wrong.

I found it interesting that libs railed on Russians in a thread in the Current Events section recently for a new law that would make public displays of homosexuality a finable offense. And yet these same libs never seem to express any significant outrage over Islamic countries killing people for being gay. Is it just me, or does their outrage seem a little misprioritized? White country tickets people for being gay - outrage. Brown country puts people to death for being gay - silence.

 

They have bigotry of low expectations for dark skinned people. Just as long as they continue to vote the right way, they are a no fly zone. Their hypocrisy is completely in character and predictable.

 

"Brown countries", "white countries", "dark skinned people."

Tell me again how you don't categorise people according to their colour but their individual merits!

 

GWB's administration often spoke of "Winning hearts and minds".

 

Aisha was the only exception of his various other marriages, and the marriage took place in the 7th century. So no, he can't be considered a pedophile.

 

You have to wait till islam gets their Peter the Great

I don't see why there is a problem there, the west is trying to move forward while the east tries to stick in traditional ways , if given a little time more of their young will want to be like us rather than stick to the teachings of some iron age peasant .
Be more tolerant and having diverse ways to deal with issues will win hearts and minds if the whole drone joke stops.

 

So what?

ped·o·phile
[ped-uh-fahyl or, esp. British, pee-duh-] Show IPA

noun Psychiatry.
an adult who is sexually attracted to young children.

Sorry, I don't see anything stating that someone in the 7th century is exempt from this definition. Care to back up your assertion with more than just your subjective say-so?

White progressives feel icky criticizing something related to brown people. There's just no way to dress up a 53 year old man marrying a 6 year old girl, is there? I wonder what white progressives would be saying if Jesus had done the same thing?

 

Muslims don't "worship" Muhummad anymore then Jews worship Moses or Christians Peter.

 

That's because their dead. They had their time. Now is ours.

 

Bad analogy. Muhammad is to Islam what Jesus is to Christianity in the sense that both figures are viewed as the perfect role models for human behavior. Feel free to find a Muslim who does not believe Muhammad was the perfect example of how a Muslim should behave in the religion.

 

The Bronze Star Medal is an individual military award of the United States Armed Forces. It may be awarded for acts of heroism, acts of merit, or meritorious service in a combat zone. When awarded for acts of heroism, the medal is awarded with the "V" device.


However, this is not the first time that the USAF has come under fire in the past for offering this award. The Department of Defense investigated the award of the Bronze Star Medal (BSM) by the USAF to some 185 individuals after operations in Kosovo in 1999. All but 25 were awarded to officers, and only 1 in 10 of those awarded were actually in the combat zone. Five were awarded to officers that never left Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. During this campaign, the Navy had awarded 69 BSMs, and the Army with 5,000 troops in neighboring Albania (considered part of the combat zone) awarded none.[7] In the end, there was a Pentagon review and decision by Congress to stop the awarding of Bronze Stars to personnel outside the combat zone.

Heheh, Muhammad is not considered God. Maybe you should quit posting comments about Islam until you learn a little about it.

 

Heheh, strawman. I never claimed "Muhammad is considered God". Maybe you should quit posting logical fallacies in a discussion about Islam until you learn a little about it.

 

You're equating Muhammad with Jesus. You implied muslims worship him.

 

Bunch of bigots and OLD bigots pining for the Good Ol' Days.....


the essential definition of the 21st Century American Right now.

Bill Buckley must be doing 3500 RPM in his grave.

 

There's a huge difference.

Muslim countries have those laws because of their religion. Even in America, it's not hard to realize that arguing against someone convinced because of religious decrees is pretty much futile. People realize that we just aren't going to change most Muslim's minds. It's basic triage. Fight battles where you have a chance of winning. There is no chance of convincing die hard Muslims that what they do is based on silliness and superstition.

It really doesn't mean that people turn a blind eye to Muslim countries killing gay people, or that nobody thinks it's bad. It's more of a "what the heck can I even do about it" type of thing. The answer is, nothing, short of invading and locking down those people, which has been proven to be a somewhat bad idea. Russian law is less built upon religion, and they have more of a democratic process there, albeit not much.

 

I "implied" no such thing. You simply mischaracterized my position and set up a strawman for yourself. And, like a typical left-wing Democrat, you refuse to retract your dishonesty and instead choose to double-down on it.

So clear, even a left-winger should understand it.

Your definition entails that for an adult to be considered a pedophile, his/her main or only sexual preference would be towards children. Indeed, according to this source, "the typical pedophile is unable to find satisfaction in an adult sexual relationship and may have low self-esteem, seeing sexual activity with a child as less threatening than that with an adult."

Given Aisha was the only wife, out of thirteen, to be a child (at least according to our modern definition of a child), I don't see how you can regard him a pedophile; unless you can provide me with further evidence proving this to be the case.

Correct; I was simply making the point that adults marrying children wasn't considered as an extreme deviation from the norm back then. You just can't come to the automatic conclusion that an adult in that time period was a pedophile only because he/she was married to a child.
