Our Mission
I really can not understand the mentality behind these people... these conservative Republicans.

Unless...

Unless they honestly believe that they are MORALLY superior to Muslim Arabs (and everyone else for that matter).

People do NOT debate with their moral inferiors: would you discuss child labor laws with a man you KNEW to be a child molestor?

No. These so-called Republicans view all Muslims in the same light as they view sex offenders - fear and loathing.

People do NOT deal, one-on-one, with their moral inferiors, either: would you attempt to sell the merits of having a savings account, versus not having one, with a known embezzler?

No. These so-called Republicans view all Arabs in the same light as they view criminals - distrust and contempt.

You know they do.

Anyone who doesn't buy into their hate, is condemned as coddling the molestor Muslims, or the criminal Arabs.

You know its true, truth-seekers.

Here's an anecdote that has stayed with me, since I first read it in a WWII book, back in my college days:

Late in the spring of 1945, a German POW asked his American captor, ''Why are you Americans STILL fighting us Germans? You've liberated France, you've liberated Belgium, and Holland. Why not JOIN us Germans, and fight the Bolshevik Russians, by our side?''

Aware of what was found at the first of the concentration camps liberated in the war, the American answered his German prisoner: "You Germans think you are superior to everyone else on earth. You actually believe in the German Superman. We fight you Germans, today, to liberate YOU from the idea that you are better than everyone else."

On November 7th, we need to liberate America from the Republican idea that we are better than everyone else.

God help us in our endeavours.
