For well over a century, the systemic dismantling of traditional education is an essential objective of transforming America into a despotic dependency. Education is a process, not an indoctrination. Schools should be about tutoring in the methods of critical thinking. Sound techniques and competent teachers can assist learning development. However, it has been decades since public schools provided a positive function. Dysfunctional Public Education Is No Accident sums up the issue:

“Government schools have worked their socialization for several generations, with alarming success. Their objective is not the education of the individual pupil, but the assimilation of the next generation into society. The kind of conversion that is sought, impedes independent thinking. Areas of inquiry are now limited to ‘PC’ approved viewpoints.”

The “TC” mindset is an outgrowth of the “PC” culture. Government schools primary mission is to program underdeveloped minds with a State approved curriculum. The net result of this civic brain washing machine is a dumbed down idiot that is unable to function as an independent individual. Totalitarian Collectivism is all about the supremacy of the State and a genuinely educated population is the greatest threat to the regime.

Government schools act as community social welfare centers. Outreach and remedial education is not just for “special needs” students, it is a staple of the state syllabus. Can this reality be attributed to genetic defects alone? Blaming it on the drinking water just does not fly. The more money spent on public education, the greater the decay in intellectual standards.

Culture, media influences and peer group pressure all reinforce the limited world vision that is the hallmark of producing obedient servants. Instead of working the fields, these serfs supply a boundless stock of sheep to eat the grass of government addiction. Their function is to consume useless products and services by running up debt. Honest work is discouraged, while government employment is preached as an ongoing community service. Service to the State and servicing the corporate economy is the sure recipe to become a valedictorian.

Lost in this assembly line factory and pseudo erudite mess is character development and moral values.

The National Character Education Center provides 10 reasons to Cultivate Virtues in Schools.

1. Value-based schools and homes develop value-driven children.

2. Children who are clear about their values have minimum problems in decision-making!

3. Children learn how to respect others when there is a program on respect.

4. Cooperation and collaboration are priorities in a value-driven school and home!

5. Rules and laws alone will not improve our society!

6. When children encounter problems, schools with a values program have clear performance and behavior reference points.

7. A values program fosters personal responsibility and initiative in each child.

8. A values program will develop an understanding, an appreciation, and an acceptance of diversities in children and in their cultures!

9. Values develop inner strength and integrity, which builds a “you-can-count-on-me” generation!

10. A value-driven program develops children with a positive mental attitude who have determination and perseverance.

Sounds good, but the question is what kind of value-based education should parents allow for the education of their children? National Education is too important to allow government control. “The children of America are not wards of your collectivist vision. Parents must retain the ability to educate their offspring according to the values that they hold. The scam of a national education policy is the kiss of death for our Nation.”

A new Rasmussen Report concludes that sixty percent (60%) of Americans with children in elementary or secondary school say most school textbooks are more concerned with presenting information in a politically correct manner than in accuracy.

This point is timely with the recent Texas Board of Education approval of a new school curriculum, which influences all textbooks. Some of their additions include:

Question the Founding Fathers’ commitment to a purely secular government

• Cover the Judeo-Christian influences of the nation’s Founding Fathers, but not highlight the philosophical rationale for the separation of church and state

Stress the superiority of American capitalism while eliminating the word “capitalism” from the text

Refer to the United States form of government as a “constitutional republic,” rather than “democratic republic”

• Give Confederate president Jefferson Davis equal footing with Abraham Lincoln

The “TC” society is appalled at such heresy as constitutional restraints, which might be taught to young virgin minds. All that matters to the didactic validation masters is the official approval pedagogic propaganda. No, wonder that any challenges to the education establishment meet with vicious abhorrence.

The National Center for Policy Analysis refers to “a report out of Stanford University shows that parents like the idea of school choice and that children in the voucher system are more apt to stay in school, learn more and earn their high school diplomas.

The study surveyed programs operating in Milwaukee (which has two), New York City, Indianapolis and San Antonio. Together, the five programs are serving more than 7,000 students from low-income families.”

Here are some of the findings:

Two to three times as many parents of voucher-school students gave “A” ratings to their schools as did parents of public school students.

While children of low-income families tend to change public schools during the year — often at a rate of 20 percent to 30 percent of the enrollment — the rate for voucher students in Milwaukee was no more than four percent to five percent.

Voucher students attending religious schools (New York and San Antonio) made remarkable test score gains; but data concerning those attending secular choice schools is flawed or incomplete because of lack of information about family background.

In New York, 69 percent of voucher students are staying in school and graduating, versus 39 percent of all students in public high schools, and 29 percent in the high schools voucher students would have attended.

The teachers union reflects the notion that government schools are untouchable and parents or local government must continue unlimited funding for excessive benefits and extravagant retirement costs.

School Vouchers Long Overdue cites the mindset that creates this accountability disconnect. “Writing for the New York Times, Albert Shanker of the American Federation of Teachers referred to the potential of turning an education endeavor into a profit-making venture as the “threat of an educational industrial complex.”

Eliminating coerced government school attendance with a viable private sector educational competition could break the reckless cycle of pouring more money down the drain of “TC” brainwashing. Abolishing property taxes to finance destructive institutions of mass disinformation needs to become a national cause.

In an exhaustive and comprehensive study from the Cato Institute – They Spend WHAT? The Real Cost of Public Schools, Adam B. Schaeffer provides evidence of financial disparities.

“To put public school spending in perspective, we compare it to estimated total expenditures in local private schools. We find that, in the areas studied, public schools are spending 93 percent more than the estimated median private school.

Citizens drastically underestimate current per-student spending and are misled by official figures. Taxpayers cannot make informed decisions about public school funding unless they know how much districts currently spend. And with state budgets stretched thin, it is more crucial than ever to carefully allocate every tax dollar.”

He outlines aspects of the Financial Transparency in Education Act, as a needed policy. This formula uses a base state and education fiscal transparency model for legislation that is adopted by the American Legislative Exchange Council.

Schools need to become cherished institutions for cultivating natural instincts and curiosity for intellectual development. What Price We Pay For Incompetent Education illustrates a case study in a broken educational system. “Public education has become government schooling by the ignorant, administered by the incompetent. . . . Embedded in the very composition of its organization are the kind of personnel that create and perpetuate this bureaucratic tragedy.”

College and higher education experience is worthless when functional idiots are granted matriculation for the price of an average starter house. The student loan fiasco is just another tyrannical entrapment into a system of endless debt consumption with diminished benefits. As the economic prospects for our offspring evaporate, future progenies will seek the rewards of real education and avoid the snares of compulsory stupidity.

The Totalitarian Collectivists fear an enlightened populace. A populist political schooling, based upon traditional values, classical training, founded upon a comprehensive study of history; has the best chance of producing individuals of character and moral fiber. The American chronicle is grounded and based upon this foundation. The “TC” educational, politically correct, absolutism is anti-intellectual at its core. A purely secular government is a curse in the American Saga. The Texas Board of Education has its history right.

Economic commerce is the lifeblood of any society. In the simplest of terms, products and services are necessary for physical survival. The business history of the America saga developed under the direction of Alexander Hamilton. His view of commerce for America was to emulate the mercantile model of the British Empire.

The following summary explains the essential viewpoint and legacy of his economic influence:

“Hamilton differed from his contemporaries was, first, in believing that only a “talented few” — understood to mean men drawn from the wealthy and aristocratic strata of society — had the wisdom and dispassionate foresight to implement the measures necessary for the public good. The second major distinguishing feature of Hamilton’s political philosophy was its emphasis on energetic government. He believed that the government should be proactive in economic and military affairs, have the power to supersede lower governments (as at the state level), and be able to exercise authority directly on the people.”

“He believed that an energetic American government should, in the interest of promoting the public good, actively encourage manufacturing, assume responsibility for the country’s debts, standardize and control the currency system through a national bank, link the interests of wealthy citizens with the government’s success, and, finally, maintain friendly ties with Britain in order not to provoke a disastrous trade or shooting war.”

The “implied powers” justification that Hamilton argued for a strong central government, remains a national curse to this day. He was more concerned with who controlled the components of commerce than the nature of the economic elements. Understanding Hamilton’s Federalist mindset and dogmatic drive for a strong central government constitution is crucial for a thoughtful comprehension of Totalitarian Collectivism.

The basic factors that compose an economy are:

1) methods, means and materials of production

2) labor, intellectual expertise and innovation

3) capital, technology resources, marketing and consumers

4) government regulations, tax policy and international competition

Money as a medium of exchange is the tool for keeping score and consummating a business transaction. Barter is business in its most basic form; even so, financial instruments offer convenience and portability. Legal tender laws provides the cover for the government to prevent competing currencies from allowing free selection of superior store of value monies.

Taxes and regulations have more to do with behavior control than revenue collection. Lost in the business equation is that material benefits or service enhancements should improve the ability of citizens to advance their individuality, independence and personal liberty. Contrary to the commerce clause or the general welfare tenet in the U.S. Constitution, the State is the biggest impediment to the ambition, hope and desire of Jefferson’s vision in the Declaration of Independence.

The fundamental principle in any economy is that the government does not create wealth. The reason why governments are consumers and usurpers of prosperity is that it acts as a parasite. It feasts on the labors and endeavors of entrepreneurial risk takers. The state claims that it is a partner with business and is a force for economic expansion. Yet the facts tell a very different tale. The rat race is not solely a chase to acquire money, but is more a survival contest to escape the tentacles of state coercion.

The “TC” society becomes more difficult to subsist within, because the economic environment favors a special elite, who are able to design and manipulate the systems of financial selection. The idea that a guild of meritocracy allows for the ascendency to the Hamiltonian “aristocratic strata” does not square with the record. Making money and placement on the Forbes 400 list, does not assure being part of the inner circle that are the real masters of the State.

Becoming completely insulated from the range and influence of government is impossible. A viable and functioning economy benefits humanity. Collectivist policies directly reduce the ability of economic activity. Impeding the flow and curtailing the velocity of money causes the level of transactions to decline. “The velocity of money (also called velocity of circulation) is the average frequency with which a unit of money is spent in a specific period of time.” When money turns over fast because of the reasonable expectation that funds can be replaced just as quickly, the economy hums. Tax revenues rise, loans are paid, debts retired, sales increase, new development breaks ground, workers are hired, trade markets expand, innovation research commences, M & A acquisitions rise and new venture startups go forward because confidence in a healthy economy is well founded.

Totalitarian Collectivism is the death knell of productive commerce. Free enterprise is quite different from a command and controlled economy. Most people are not business owners. Few workers understand the process of creating wealth. Those who do and decide to become employers usually do not want to take the risk or to pay the price of responsibility for the venture. The State views the business owner as a threat to the system. The government mindset sees the wealth maker as a bank account for exploiting to expand bureaucratic budgets and agencies. The “TC” juggernaut sees taxes as their revenue since their right to exist is paramount.

Social welfare deprives the economy of incentives and people of dread. Prosperity has never been fashioned on subsidies and entitlements. Honest profit is beneficial to society and advances the genuine general welfare with a merchant based economy. The corporate economy is the fulfillment of Hamilton’s lust for empire.

Empires all share a common thread, revulsion for a republic government based upon democratic principles. Mastery over the economy is the means to achieve the “TC” state. Citizens are not chattel. The ethos that sells consumer materialism as the American Dream, is a prime tactic and device employed to deprive people from achieving the real American ambition, that is; an independent and secure economic standard of life. Self-employed persons know the value and risks of fiscal autonomy. They also recognize the constant apprehension, especially during hard times, of their dependency upon a functioning marketplace.

Contrast this understanding with the experience of the government agent. The title, municipal employee, is a misnomer. A state worker is a public servant, but often acts like a bully for a phony superior authority. When an economy relies upon government payments for providing subsistence to more people than the number of workers earning a productive livelihood, that society fails. The net result is an expediential increase in an incalculable public debt. This leads to the ultimate repudiation of the currency, default of government bonds and a total breakdown of commerce.

Haughty Hamilton “proposed that the government assume the entire debt of the federal government and the states. His plan was to retire the old depreciated obligations by borrowing new money at a lower interest rate.” Isn’t that the exact scheme used by the “TC” establishment to reassure that the financial meltdown is in recovery? Today, the twist is that trillions of new debt has been added, to the sum of the old obligations, in a vain attempt to postpone the inevitable.

The reason why the cumulative public debt, not even considering the total of future obligation guarantees, cannot be serviced and retired, is that the productive economy is not big enough to offset the enormous sums required. The financial physics of the law of compound interest even defies the Totalitarian Collectivist junta. The monetary future holds an unavoidable economic breakdown. Dislocation of commerce will dispel the myth in the wisdom of the interdependency economy.

Reduction in a robust standard of living is a planned result. Quashing middle class affluence is no longer a remote prospect. The American Saga need not end in third world subsistence. Substantive national trade and domestic industry grows in a decentralized economy. Government policy operates against small business and self-employed enterprises. A society that aspires to qualify for a government pension lacks the character that developed this nation.

The government bubble is expanding as debt inflates the balloon. A “TC” dictatorship can keep the atmosphere polluted as long as the true nature of the dilemma is ignored or denied. Jobs are a byproduct of conducting business. Paying a person for sought after social engineered conduct is not a solution. The answer is to reinvent the underlying culture that valued hard work, honest dealings and innovative ideas. People’s money must be recognized as their own. Tribute for the State is theft.

The disparity in assets among classes is at a level that ordinarily results in major social disorder. Conspicuous consumption by elites and crooked financial gurus fan the flames of righteous rebellion. The manipulated economy is the hammer used by elites to pound the brains out of the masses. The end game is the Soylent Green society. The elites believe you will go quietly down the path to Totalitarian Collectivism. Will you oblige their plan for mankind? Or will you introduce yourself as Mr. Aaron Burr, to their Mr. Alexander Hamilton.

Much of western civilization political thought is devoted to the nature of the STATE. Centuries of experience and aspiration are embroiled in the fundamental dichotomy between the individual and the state. When the understanding of this chronicle is applied to the American Saga, a central question emerges. By what authority does the state claim legitimacy?

If we really believe that authority stems from the consent of the governed, how is it possible that in today’s Totalitarian Collectivism governance is taken as an inescapable inevitability? Wikipedia says “Consent of the governed is a phrase synonymous with a political theory wherein a government’s legitimacy and moral right to use state power is only justified and legal when derived from the people or society over which that power is exercised.”

Under the most tortured perversion of logic, “We the People” are supposed to accept the claim that society has determined that the form of government that controls our country is legitimate, even when only the most avid toady claims it is moral. The existential scope of the demise of our nation is real and a present danger. At present, as events proceed there is the assumption and appearance of inescapability. Yet is it inevitable?

As long as you have not been living under a rock, you know that the march of progress has been a retreat into oblivion. People rationalized that society takes two steps forward for everyone back. By any objective measure, progress is now equivalent to the advancement of enslavement.

The American Saga bleeds with betrayal of the American Revolution. How fond a world it would be if all we had was the petty oppression of King George III assaulting our birthright? In the beginning, there were Federalists and ant-Federalists. Alexander Hamilton won the infidelity prize and betrayed the American Revolutionary War much more than Benedict Arnold. For all the reasons, review the essays on Inherent Autonomy. The anti-Federalists understood the predictability for tyranny of the central government under the U.S. Constitution. Those who force a constitutional convention wanted to substitute their rule and vision of Imperium, for that of a British Empire. Ratification of that constitution was not a noble act, but was a treacherous renunciation of the very reasons rebellion occurred and the principles of liberty.

Fast forward to the 21th century. The A-Z Index of U.S. Government Departments and Agencies is but a partial database of the executive bureaucracy, on the federal, state and local level. Such a list never encompasses a final total. The living organism, especially the federal executive branch, is not even able to list all the alpha soup entities in the budget. Is this the end result of consent of the governed or even representation in a republic? Legal scholars endlessly debate precedent, jurisdiction and equity; but the law never addresses the purpose why the nation was born out of a blood struggle to achieve sovereignty. Governments want you to accept that sovereignty means their legitimacy for controlling you. Autonomy requires self-governance under any form the STATE may design for organization.

Totalitarian Collectivism regimes all share common traits. Force is the ultimate stick. Compliance is the objective with state dependency as the means. A government check, benefit or inducement, are all methods of achieving a docile and obedient public. Degrees of payment vary by the level of cooperation. Federal employees become a ‘privileged class’ because they own their economic existence to the ultimate criminal syndicate, the STATE; and are willing to employ the levers of coercion and force against the populace.

The American Saga is a tragic example of a capitulation to the elements of fascism. Consent can be positive if government respects the individual liberty of citizens. Consent can be negative if individual citizens assume the function of cogs in a wheel of an all-powerful controlling governing octopus. Government agencies act as overseers above citizens, with virtual impunity from accountability. The executive apparatus actually designs and administered the rules, outside the constraints of judicial review, legislative oversight and public indignation.
Who among us believes that this system of oppression is legitimate? Sadly, the majority treats this repression as a fait accompli. They resign their fate to the whims of faceless masters. Henry David Thoreau, once again, has it correct, “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.  “What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.” This communal despair is indicative of the latter days of the American Empire. The eternal optimism, that is so often associated with the founding of the country, is fading into a shadow of past times.

The STATE degenerates into a prison for the masses. The elites, especially the “Beltway Oligarchy”, bond with the “Plutocrat Overlords”, in a collaboration of malefic dimensions. Scores of authors have named names and documented the dealing of the “Masters of the Universe”, in every age. Up to now, Americans viewed themselves to be different. The scourge of other empires would not destroy their own country. The government would protect us. A democracy is a superior form of rule. A U.S. global presence is a force for good. How many times have you heard this argument defending the system?

Well, does this viewpoint reflect the reality of the current state of world affairs? More to the point, is this a reasonable conclusion based upon the facts of a diverse society and the deeds of a dominating government? Since our form of government is supposed to be a republic, what role does the citizen retain in a system that now operates by fiat pronouncements?

In order to answer these questions, presuppose that people share an intentional willingness and responsibility to attain a meaningful degree of self-reliance and authority over government. The goal is to achieve liberty, both personal and for the nation.

Today, the STATE effectively extinguishes the objective of liberty. Besides the elites, who else shares the blame for allowing the viral contamination of the body politic? The malignant disease that facilitates and allows the elites to dominate government and manipulate our lives originates in the minds of commonplace citizens. Call it apathy, denial, rationalization or sloth. It all translates into the same results. The excuse that one “I cannot fight City Hall”, leads to the inept justification that “I was just following orders”.

The Peter Principle is the principle that “In a hierarchy every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence.” Apply the standard of citizenship and you get, people lose their dignity when they allow bureaucrats to dictate and enforce illegitimate regulations. In any level of organization, incompetence is the norm. Adherence to ethical measures risk discipline and retribution, while obedience to autocratic administration enhances upward mobility. The subtle acknowledgement that ineptitude is a prerequisite for qualification into the civil service, is well established. However, the Peter Principle breaks down when the gears of Totalitarian Collectivism plays upon the inadequacies of the public. ‘TC’ requires a ‘PC’ politically correct culture to move the public into submission.

All individuals are flawed and most are prone to peer pressure. The STATE excels at destroying personal initiative and independence, using the most incompetent tools that money can buy from the government coffer. Notwithstanding the marginal caliber that is attracted to implement government dictates, the plan to exert total compliance and mastery, is brilliant in its evil composition.

The STATE purports to be innate, intrinsic and normal, while it consistently violates the natural rights of human beings. Governments want you to accept that its authority is instinctive, for no other reason than it is in charge. So what is immutable about the STATE, when the only possible legitimacy for government, rests upon the conveyance of authority to it, by individual citizens? Of course, the answer is that the STATE retains only conditional authority.

America is not the government. The country is not the STATE. Moreover, the nation is certainly not the tyrannical regime that seeks to establish a global New World Order.

The ‘TC’ mentality that permeates the culture is a direct result of the lack in public courage to overturn an irrational devotion towards the STATE. The enormous capacity of government to punish is real and horrifying. Nevertheless, the inborn spirit of the power in human dignity and individual self-worth is much greater than all the torment that the STATE can muster against citizens.

The Patriotic movement long ago understood this simple adage. “A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.” Edward Abbey. Morally founded in natural law, individual independence and inherent human rights; the means of that defense should maintain non-violent resistance and civil disobedience. The STATE seeks to demand divine reverence. It deserves continuous vigilance from ‘TC’ oppression and continual defiance when it becomes a tyrant.

Every Muslim is not a terrorist, but every terrorist is a Muslim.

~ Dr. Zakir Naik, president, Islamic Research Foundation

When I first started writing for WorldNetDaily, almost three years ago, I wrote “Is Islam compatible with a republic?” My thesis then was to use the Constitution, reason, history and philosophy out of the Judeo-Christian traditions of intellectual thought, including Natural Law, to state authoritatively why Islam is not compatible with a republic. Why? Because Islam contains none of the essential components of what philosopher Booker T. Washington called the “fundamentals of civilization.”

What are some of the fundamentals of civilization?

• Belief in God (the moon god, Allah, is a very different entity);
• veneration of the intrinsic value of all life;
• the rule of law;
• A written constitution based on truth, equity, liberty and morality;
• laws that don’t discriminate based on race, creed, wealth, gender or national origin;
• Freedom of religion.

These are just a few of the fundamentals of civilization Islam under Shariah law has no conception of and utter contempt for.

Islam is not compatible with a republic.

Last Monday I drove down to Columbus, Ohio, to attend a rally for the 17-year-old Christian convert, Rifqa Bary, who was tricked to come back from Florida where she had fled in mortal fear. She returned to her native Ohio to attend a juvenile court hearing that may force her to move back with her family, who are devout Muslims from Sri Lanka. Rifqa fears that her father will perform an honor killing upon her for “blasphemy against Islam” because of her conversion to Christianity.

Brigitte Gabriel combats politically correct notions about the “religion of peace” in “They Must be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How we Can Do It”

The event was organized by my friend, Florida radio host and publisher Pamela Geller. One of the speakers, Nonie Darwish, also a Christian convert from Islam, made this profound statement:

This [Islam] is not religion. It has nothing to do with religion. Religion is a relationship with God. … Islam is a relationship with the State. Islam is a one-party, totalitarian system. It’s a one-party State that will not allow you to speak. And it will kill anybody who challenges or questions.

Islam is not compatible with a republic.

Last Tuesday the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ordered Lynne Stewart, a convicted terror-coddling civil-rights lawyer, to begin serving her prison sentence.

Stewart, 69, was convicted over four years ago, in February 2005, of conspiracy and providing and concealing material support of terrorism for her actions in smuggling messages from “blind sheik” Omar Abdel-Rahman to his followers in the Islamic terror group Gama’a al-Islamiyya.

As irony would have it, last week President Obama and his attorney general, Eric Holder, brought five terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to be tried in a criminal court in New York. This act is tantamount to treason and is essentially overturning 230 years of American constitutional law and over 400 years of common-law traditions by permitting enemy combatants caught on foreign territory waging war against American soldiers to have full constitutional rights rather than being speedily tried by a military tribunal.

Last year I wrote a book, “The Nuremberg Trials: Last Tragedy of the Holocaust,” on this very issue of coddling extreme war criminals and clogging up our criminal courts with people as irredeemably wicked as the Nazis, who, after World War II, should have all been tried by a military (not an international) tribunal and summarily hanged in the public square as a lesson to future would-be dictators that the civilized world means business.

They didn’t. Instead, in November 1945 the civilized world at the Nuremberg Trials miserably failed to dispense swift, comprehensive justice against Hitler’s Nazis. Now, their anti-Semitic allies then and now, the Muslims, seek to finish what Hitler started.

Obama and Holder’s decision to bring these religious fanatics to New York is an insane policy that no constitutional lawyer worth his salt could tolerate, but instead of a unified front against this double-crossing policy from the American Bar Association, the National Trial Lawyers Association and the ACLU, all I hear is the sound of shekels jingling in moneybag of Judas as legions of shyster lawyers from NYU, Columbia and Harvard are lining up to become the next Lynne Stewart – the next traitorous terrorist lawyer who will get 24/7 media coverage and a king’s ransom for defending these murderers.

Islam is not compatible with a republic.

The Obama administration at every opportunity is bending over frontwards and backwards to convince the world that America is a nice country since GWB left office and Obama is in charge. Conversely, this Neville Chamberlain policy of appeasement has only demonstrated to the world our societal decadence, our duplicity and our utter lack of moral resolve to fight an avowed enemy like radical Islam with the same passion and merciless tactics they have leveled against the civilized world.

As Nonie Darwish said, Islam is a totalitarian political ideology feigning as a religion; indeed, Islam is anti-religion. It has no belief in a God of love, but in Allah, the pagan moon god that predates the prophet Muhammad and the Quran. Islam has no respect for the intrinsic value of all life, but is a cult of death that celebrates death by promoting homicide bombers and “killing the infidel where you find him.”

America’s republic respects a written Constitution based on God, Natural Law, liberty and truth; therefore, truly just laws should not discriminate based on race, creed, gender or wealth (within biblical traditions, of course). However, Shariah law under Islam openly discriminates against others based on every conceivable difference. In other words, according to the Quran, everyone not a Muslim is considered a second-class citizen or worse, can be abused, sold into slavery or even summarily killed. The Quran commands: “A Muslim must not enslave another Muslim but is free to do so with a non-Muslim.”

And that’s why, in my opinion, Islam is not compatible with a republic.
