“FREEDOM OVER SLAVERY”
by OPOVV, ©2015
(May 30, 2015) — Here’s the deal: you have a choice between freedom of speech or getting beheaded. You’ve just one week to come up with an answer that you’ll have to live with (or not) for the rest of your life. Let me give whatever assistance I can so you can make an educated guess on what may be your best choice.
First, let’s discuss the advantages of getting beheaded, made into some sort of slave (sex, cleaning, cooking, washing, ordered to kill children, attack schools and kill everything in sight, go on swine- and canine-killing rampages, murdering those who have been perceived to slight someone or a family’s “honor”) ), living in a world where there are no artifacts from the past, no art, music, fun, laughter (the only “amusement parks” will be where members of the Rainbow Coalition are pushed off the highest point of the roller-coaster ride). And that’s just for starters. You haven’t even passed “Go” yet. You’re just getting warmed up.
Somebody is smashing the statues, ripping the paintings to shreds, placing bombs on school buses, killing Christians and everything else that moves. “Everything else that moves?” That’s right, and it’s all on the internet in living color: ISIS members indiscriminately committing wanton murder and unspeakable atrocities as they take over town after town.
Ignorance is at the pinnacle of belief, for how is it even remotely possible that people would become unglued by calling lines, smudges and/or blots a name, any name? Not quite the epitome of the act of being ridiculous, a student can draw a line on his term paper and declare it as “An ‘A+’ paper on the definition of the phrase ‘common sense.’” The epitome of being ridiculous is getting unglued about lines on canvas, plaster, wood or paper and naming it “Mohammad,” “The Easter Bunny,” “Mona Lisa,” or, to be absolutely truthful: “Lines on a Flat Surface.”
OR . . .
You may choose “Freedom of Speech.” Now if you just happen to choose “Freedom,” that comes with the rest of the Constitution, you understand. You’re choosing to allow women to go to school to be taught how to read and write, maybe becoming an ER doctor that may someday be the first person you see after an automobile accident. What you’re going to do, refuse treatment because she’s a woman? Of course not, so let’s get real.
There’s no advantage in Sharia Law, especially if you’re a woman, over the Constitution. Besides being totally restrictive, Sharia Law is enforced by the Religious Police, which trumps any written law and any court, including the Supreme Court of the land. There is no higher power in an Islamic State than the Religious Police. Arbitrary rulings of life and death are carried out immediately with no recourse and no appeals. Accused of being gay? Hung from the nearest lamppost, immediately. Just the question of adultery or a daughter caught “looking at a boy” is enough for the death sentence.
There are those who proclaim support for the First Amendment yet articulate a yearning to limit “hate speech” for “public safety concerns.” These are our very own “snakes-in-the-grass” neighbors who can’t see the forest for the trees, who fail to envision the “Big Picture,” and who have become (unbeknownst?) servants of the advocates for “The Sharia.” The artist of the cartoon is not to be feared: it is those who wield the implements of death screaming “Allahu Akbar” who need to be removed from our land: deport Muslims.
It is, after all, a simple choice: the Constitution over Sharia Law; reverence for those who have lived long before us compared to destroying all ancient artifacts; freedom over slavery.
