Goin’ Dutch

As I’ve mentioned before, sometimes it feels like the political lines are blurring. Those on the Left are leaning right on some issues; those on the Right are leaning left. You’d think there’d be more Libertarians out there, wouldn’t you?
We don’t know what to make of these “tweeners,” so we call them “moderate.” Really not the most accurate term. We also lump them into a group called “independent.” Some prefer to call this group “the majority.” The purple people.
The way I look at it, it doesn’t matter if you’re black or white, yellow or brown, red or blue, or even purple. There’s no escaping the fact that the most basic issues apply to everyone. Many of these are the various wars we wage on vice.
It’s easy to say that Libertarians have led the way in speaking out against the War on Drugs in particular, and have advocated decriminalization/legalization of certain “substances.” Many Conservatives share this opinion.
But how can this be? Aren’t Conservatives those religious fanatics who always warn of the slippery slope, the coarsening of our culture, and the decline of morality? Aren’t they the ones who always say: “Just look at Amsterdam. Do you want to be like that?”
True, there are social conservatives who worry that we’re becoming “piggish.” The most socially conservative - the radical Islamists - are convinced we are pigs and consistently refer to us as such. Can we blame them for not wanting the West to corrupt their culture?
Still, many on the Left continue to refer to Islam as a loving, peaceful religion. They don’t seem to care much for Christianity or Judaism, and aren’t quite as vociferous in their defense of Jews and Christians; yet Muslims somehow pass muster.
Evangelicals are racist, homophobic, misogynistic, ignorant, and intolerant; Muslims are not. Tell that to the Dutch.
Guess who’s moving to Amsterdam? It’s odd: After spending nearly a quarter of a century in Northern California and watching conservatives flee the Bay Area, it’s interesting to watch Muslims migrate to “pig pens.”
No offense to those who live in the Netherlands, France, or San Francisco, but you people are meek, weak, and ripe for the takeover. You are, like it or not, appeasers - and fear rules you. You say you are crusaders and protectors of the oppressed, but where is your outrage when Muslims are the oppressors?
You worry that Neocons and Christians are out to get you, strip you of your rights and freedoms, and put you in camps. To you I say, keep an eye on Amsterdam. The “free-est” spot in the world is quickly becoming less free and quite a bit scary. Gay couples are afraid to go out together and are avoiding physical contact in public. That includes holding hands. Going out after dark is no longer a good idea.
It’s time to be confrontational when it really counts. They’re coming to get you and you just don’t seem to realize it. The ultimate irony is that the Jews and Christians will be the ones who’ll save you. In the meantime, how ’bout a little effort to save yourselves?
