Jinn of Current Events

Muslim tyranny is already establishing itself within parts of Europe. Here is a report from Norway. Bruce Bawer: Western Europe is increasingly a house divided. While non-Muslim Europeans live in democracies, most Muslims in the same countries inhabit theocratic enclaves where they are expected to tread a narrow path — or suffer the consequences. Muslim women have it the worst. They are subject without exception to the authority of their husbands, fathers, and community leaders. And if they seek to escape that tyranny, they can expect little help from government authorities, who are loath to "intrude" and show "disrespect" for someone else's culture. In order to resist these encroachments of tyranny, Europeans would need a proper, philosophical appreciation of the nature of freedom, of the role of governments in securing individual rights, and of the absolute superiority of Western civilization over Islamofascism.

The classical speech I use every year to celebrate Independence Day: Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace — but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
— Patrick Henry (Son of Thunder) 

Today we celebrate one of the most important political documents in human history. It is so crucial to the freedom and prosperity we enjoy that one should properly kneel in awe in its presence — as I have proudly done.

By action of Second Continental Congress, July 4, 1776, the unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America: WHEN in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

WE hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness — That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed...

While the Declaration of Independence was the blueprint for America, the 1789 Constitution and Bill of Rights are its architecture. 

Janet Daley (Telegraph): There was — and remains — a belief that the BBC took its news agenda almost verbatim from the Guardian (and thus from the anti-war lobby) and that, having reported a series of setbacks and catastrophes at the end of which the coalition suddenly and mysteriously won, it is now determined to prove that the war was illegitimate. Since the toppling of Saddam, the amount of airtime that has been given to the question of whether the [UK] Government had sufficient evidence of WMD has been far, far greater than that given to the almost daily discovery of hideous mass graves in Iraq that give another kind of credence to the war effort. That is the BBC's chosen priority.
