The Five Pillars Of Islam, The Democrat Party-- And Of Sanity And Contentment

 

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has not been shy. He is, in essence, a one-man sleeper cell. New York City has been taken over. The Big Apple has fallen. Some progressives still cheer, as, of course, do the vast majority of Muslims, but many are bewildered and crestfallen. “Is this what we were promised, did we not listen carefully enough during the campaign?” they ask. Apparently not, if they are shocked that Mamdani is raising taxes, overtly discriminating by race, and saying that we should all look to Islam. For starters. Mamdani didn’t really hide much of his agenda, unlike other Democrats, such as the preternaturally repulsive Abigail Spanberger, now governor of the formerly great state of Virginia.

But they voted the man in, and those votes will have cataclysmic consequences. As PJ O'Rourke once noted, “If you think things are expensive now, just wait until you see what they cost when they're free.”

And freedom? Well, they'll have a lot less of that, especially those New Yorkers who are unlucky enough to be straight, white, Christian males.

Tolerance of incompetence, sloth, and entitlement is not a virtue. Tolerance of rank racism and other atrocities is evil. Diversity isn't a virtue either, it's a trap. 

Mamdani also cited Buddhism, stating that we must “remove the three poisons of desire, hatred, and ignorance from our daily lives.” He added, “We need not treat hatred as the natural state.” And then he touted his own religion, Islam, claiming it was based on a love for immigrants. Does that include Jews, Mayor? As for Muslims’ innate fondness for tolerance, you might wanna make that clear to your co-religionists in Iran who are busy terrorizing, imprisoning, torturing, and executing their countrymen. It would have been nice if you had also done that, say, prior to Oct. 7. Or, if one of your fellow practitioners of “The Religion of Peace” had tried to talk 19 or so Muslims out of high-jacking passenger planes and flying them into the World Trade Center towers. Or from blowing up a marine base in Lebanon. Or from burning churches and stabbing people across Europe. Or from slaughtering Christians in Nigeria and other nations. Or from gang-raping young girls in the U.K. Or from…well, you get the point. You do get the point, don’t you, Mayor Mamdani?

As for the “three poisons of desire, hatred, and ignorance?” Desire for sanity, clarity, safety for one’s family, prosperity, and justice is profoundly a good thing, not a poison. Same for hatred of bullies, thugs, and evil. Ignorance is a poison, as is clearly shown by the folks who voted for Mamdani. And ignorance has been a cherished and fundamental tool of the Democrat Party from the time of slavery through today, as illustrated by the party’s support for open borders, unlimited immigration, punitive taxation, pro-crime policies, unfettered abortion, refusal to acknowledge sexual dimorphism, desire to have men in women’s bath and locker rooms and on their sports teams, love of Marxism, hatred of capitalism, the founders,  and America…and purported belief in any number of hoaxes.

Most of us have heard of “the Five Pillars of Islam.”

But there also are the Five Pillars of the Democrat party. These are: 1) Hate Trump. And his supporters. And every other Republican that has a chance to stand in our way. Ever and always. 2) Accuse political opponents of trying to do precisely what we are trying to do. Appear virtuous, repulsed, and vicious when using projection in this way. 3) Gaslighting is good. Simple, old-fashioned lying is even better. Zealously and continuously employ the most preposterous lies possible. Make our opponents question their sanity, LOL! 4) Never forget that we are meant to rule. No matter what. Since that is an unquestioned good, anything we do to attain and retain power is acceptable. Anything. 5) If you are confused or flagging, simply remember: good is evil and evil is good.

In case anyone is interested, here are my Five Pillars of Sanity and Contentment: 1) Seek the truth, no matter what. 2) Take that quest seriously, but not yourself. 3) Have courage and cherish your freedom and independence, including independence of thought. Disdain peer pressure, conventional “wisdom,” and, especially, group think. Do not countenance bullies. 4) Realize that you did not, could not, ask to be born. There is a higher power. And that power is demonstrably not government. 5) Don’t take time-- or your family and loved ones—for granted. You can never be certain when your time—or theirs—might come to an end. On this earth, anyway.
