Hey People, check out this blatant piece of Mohammedan propaganda concerning the recent mosque incident in Dayton, OH, that's now been revealed as a ruse:
"That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage, is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."
-- George Orwell, the Evening Standard, Jan. 8, 1941
It's from "About the Songs (what they're about)," Bob Dylan's magnificent liner notes to his equally magnificent album World Gone Wrong.
Specifically:
DELIA is one sad tale-two or more versions mixed into one. the song has no middle range, comes whipping around the corner, seems to be about counterfeit loyalty. Delia herself, no Queen Gertrude, Elizabeth 1 or even Evita Peron, doesn't ride a Harley Davidson across the desert highway, doesn't need a blood change & would never go on a shopping spree. the guy in the courthouse sounds like a pimp in primary colors. he's not interested in mosques on the temple mount, armageddon or world war 111, doesn't put his face in his knees & weep & wears no dunce hat, makes no apology & is doomed to obscurity. does this song have rectitude? you bet. toleration of the unacceptable leads to the last round-up. the singer's not talking from a head full of booze.
I'm not impressed by Dylan's muddled language which is fine for poetry but is every statement by a person supposed to be poetry? In this interview he had a chance to be clear about how Obama is not acceptable, instead he chose to mumble his usual ambiguities that sound like they are positive about Obama but I suppose some fans of his will be able to take comfort in his poetic obscurity supporting their own private Dylan ("well, he didn't say he supports Obama, did he?"):
Well, you know right now America is in a state of upheaval,” he says. “Poverty is demoralising. You can't expect people to have the virtue of purity when they are poor. But we've got this guy out there now who is redefining the nature of politics from the ground up...Barack Obama. He's redefining what a politician is, so we'll have to see how things play out. Am I hopeful? Yes, I'm hopeful that things might change. Some things are going to have to.”
The self-described "novice blogger" (Chris Rodda) quoted in the DDN story - the one said to have broken the story on Daily-Kos - is in a fact a published author with a book on sale at Amazon.com.
The title of self-described novice blogger Chris Rodda's book: LIARS FOR JESUS.
The author of Liars for Jesus, by her own admission in the body of the DDN news article, admitted to "sensationalizing" the Dayton mosque story in ordr to bring attention to the original story. Sensationalizing (lying) is okay because she was well intentioned, you see?
Helps to recall...the original story of a "chemical attack" on the Dayton mosque is false insofar as there is NO evidence of any attack except for the word of the muslims who claim to have been attacked. Unless you want to count as evidence the convenient finding of a "black can" of pepper spray "near" the mosque 4 days after the initial report of the attack. Found by muslims in a bag. Hmmm....except that the original report by the muslims is that the can of chemical irritant used in the attack was white in color, not black....hmmmm....(white...like in the color of a chopped onion....)
You know, the idea of tolerance is just so much B.S. The fellow travelers and useful idiots pat themselves on the back and praise each other for being so tolerant. But what is tolerance? It means to put up with something. Is that what we've been reduced to at this time and place in history? Whatever happened to charity, patience, forebearance? Whatever happened to loving people in spite of themselves and ourselves? And whatever happened to calling it like it is, no matter how icky it might make some criminal feel?
Tolerance is a word created to mesmerize, but in truth, the main goal of shoving tolerance down our throats is to control us. I may not always succeed, as many of you know, but I've got to search relentlessly for truth and try for charity. Charity sometimes requires us to tell a hurtful truth to people and that might make them feel uncomfortable. To merely settle for tolerating people is to sell out and accept a place in history that was not created for us and one in which we have no business occupying.
If I tolerate and overlook the atrocities committed in the name of Islam, am I not just as much of a criminal as those who do the murdering?
awake has and it wasn't printed. Ditto champ, myself, and my husband. Censorship concerning Islam LIVES at LSU Reveille and other university newspapers! "Academia Watch" is very real.
Of course the Dayton "attack" is a ruse. The girl was found to have NO "chemical irritant," and of course the pepper spray was planted. HELLO!
But we are. By "we", I mean the people who administer our laws and rule the nation. THEY are the only ones the Mohammedans have to worry about and they are VERY stupid, at least where Islam is concerned.
One can truly catch a glimpse of Robert Spencer's "soul" through his love for Bob Dylan's music. It's just one more thing to appreciate about our fearless leader.
I've often argued with siblings and friends that Dylan's genius is not just in the poetry, that his arrangements and melodies - though not necessarily musically complex - are often very, very beautiful...but are sadly overlooked because they are accompanied by that raspy voice, a voice "like sand and glue" as Bowie once described it...a voice by the way that, at least in his prime, was as expressive and nuanced as any this music lover has ever heard.
Although more lengthy, I've always liked Karl Popper's formulation:
"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant."

"Toleration of the unacceptable leads to the last round-up."
Whereupon, “It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.”
“I'm a-goin' back out 'fore the rain starts a-fallin',
I'll walk to the depths of the deepest black forest,
Where the people are many and their hands are all empty,
Where the pellets of poison are flooding their waters,
Where the home in the valley meets the damp dirty prison,
Where the executioner's face is always well hidden,
Where hunger is ugly, where souls are forgotten,
Where black is the color, where none is the number,
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it,
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it.”
-- Bob Dylan

There was an incident at a Mosque in Canada following the arrest of a gang of Muslims intending to behead the Prime Minister and blow up the Canadian equivalent of Wall Street with a fertilizer bomb. Someone threw rocks through the windows of the mosque and I'd bet $100's that it was someone from the Muslim community trying to fabricate hate crimes in order to solicit sympathy for their inherently violent community.
The police need to watch mosques just following bad press for Muslims in order to see whether it is the Imam himself who throws the rock.

Cool. Where is this from? Round up meaning, the unacceptable people get together and round up the tolerant people, I assume.

Here is the latest update (10-3-08) to the false muslim hate crime reported by the Dayton Daily News concerning the mosque in Dayton.

omvi,
Why don't you make a comment on the LSU Reveille?

Of course the Dayton "attack" is a ruse. The girl was found to have NO "chemical irritant," and of course the pepper spray was planted. HELLO!
It's funny how Mohammedans think we're stupid!
"It's funny how Mohammedans think we're stupid!"
A whole lot of us are, unfortunately, and the Muslims are counting on that.
It's funny how Mohammedans think we're stupid!
But we are. By "we", I mean the people who administer our laws and rule the nation. THEY are the only ones the Mohammedans have to worry about and they are VERY stupid, at least where Islam is concerned.
Concerning the PC MoonBats, I think it's more ignorance than stupidity.

I'll bet Dylan can't find any rhymes for either "arugula" or "typical white woman".
Good musician; lame philosopher.
Obama is an answer for the questionable.

I always loved the "Blood On The Tracks" album.
Every single song. Highly recommended.
Amen Darcy....perhaps his best. 'Tangled up in Blue' and 'You're Gonna Make Me Loansome When You Go' are my two favorites on that album.
His other great albums in my opinion are "Bringing it All Back Home", "Blond on Blond" and "John Wesley Harding".

This is a man who rhymed "January" with "Buenos Aires."

Your point is well taken. However, I just couldn't resist:
We're all sittin' 'round
eating our arugula
just waitin' for Iran
to go nuclear
OK, so maybe it's not quite up to Dylan's standards...
