BUILDING ON AMERICA’S BROKEN HEART
“Words” …curious how their meanings evolve over time. “Straight” …”dear” …”cool”… “gay” …”speed”…”czar”, are just a few examples of words whose meanings have changed radically from what previous generations held, as mis-use by the uninformed, to the uninformed, over time propels their etymological journey to a new place. One very timely and important word has slipped from its root meaning, a root meaning that is spot on to the description of a specific monstrous act. That word is….”MAYHEM!”
— n
1. law . the wilful and unlawful infliction of injury upon a person, esp (formerly) the injuring or removing of a limb rendering him less capable of defending himself against attack may?hem
/?me?h?m, ?me??m/ Show Spelled[mey-hem, mey-uhm] Show IPA
–noun
2. Law . the crime of willfully inflicting a bodily injury on another so as to make the victim less capable of self-defense or, under modern statutes, so as to cripple or mutilate the victim.
Origin:
1350–1400; ME maheym, maim < AF mahe ( i ) m, mahaim < Gmc; akin to MHG meidem gelding, ON meitha to injure
To most, bees at a picnic or the silliness of a baseball brawl would constitute what is thought to be…”mayhem”, but if there remains any questions as to the meaning of the word, one simply can search the names…Lawrence SINGLETON and Mary VINCENT…and all confusion will be brought to a thundering clarity. Mayhem, in the civilized world, is a horrific and sickening crime, not a pathway to God and surely not a sacred holy act.
The intentional mutilation of a fellow human being… the taking of limbs…the barbarous, hacking removal of offending tongues and gouging of eyes …the amputation of a lovely young girls face; her nose… her ears, by sociopathic monsters prowling freely in the name of a religion - believing it God’s work - is as heinous and depraved as any human behavior can be. But what is truly despicable is the deafening silence by those who have lived in these uncivilized nightmare societies and have been fortunate enough to have escaped to the relative safety and freedom of western life, where speech is free.
There are occasionally faint voices from this place, that meekly attempt to say…”no…this is not my true belief… they have hijacked my religion!” But those few voices are drowned out by the roaring silence of acceptance that dominates, and therefore represents the popular opinion and public face of free muslims.. One would think that those privileged souls would so cherish their freedom from the zealot monsters that THEY would be the ones in the vanguard of a determined resistance to the global scourge of mindless, barbaric law givers, the evil of “SHARIA LAW”, and a religion concentrated on the horrors of torture, human suffering, and agonizing death….but whispers are not enough. Silent protestations stand as tacit approval…and approval is unacceptable…ask those in the BLOODY STREETS OF TEHRAN. Radical Islamic terror programs are here, they are active within our country and we are fighting them abroad. Their strategy is ancient…encircle…weaken from within…destroy.
AN OBNOXIOUS IRRATIONAL OFFENSIVE INSISTENCE
What does the often used phrase, “Our Way of Life” really mean? One important meaning is freedom of and from religion …AMPUTATION of tongues and arms perceived as offending by some crazed lunatics is intolerable! The BURQA is an abomination that should immediately be outlawed on civilized earth.. The wholesale beatings, mutilations and executions of terrified muslim women elict only a vacant indifference in activist liberal women in the United States. The horizons of so-called women’s groups in the United States don’t extend past matters of the uterus or the silly right to go bare-breasted just as men, and their right not to be looked at if they do . N.O.W. is an old joke. The puffing, leisurely elite - distracted only by those women’s issues that are immediate to their domestic political agenda - remain mute, while the truly catastrophic outrages inflicted on muslim women and girls are met with detached indifference…..a shame-filled silence.
There is something repulsive about the group that undertakes an action that citizens directly effected find obnoxiously inappropriate. The unbending insistence on the location of the mosque in New York City betrays a motive held deeper than merely building a mosque. It MUST be at this place ! There can be NO OTHER PLACE! It is THAT PRECISE GROUND that they want …that is the commanding factor to those who want, in effect to raise a SHRINE!….a shine at the historic place of, in their mind, a colossal victory of Islam over the infidels.
Those stupid enough to ignore history will be its future victims and the best that can be hoped for is that they hold no sway in society. When stupid men, unfortunately, sometimes gain some social consequence, their stupidity inevitably surfaces and damage is done to society. Michael BLOOMBERG and ANDREW CUOMO are two such men afflicted with just such a defect. These two public people are defiantly “whistling past the graveyard” ,in their positions on this very real threat, interested only in its effect on them.
“God save us from people who do the morally right thing. It’s always the rest of us who get broken in half.”

In the splendid poem…”THE HANGMAN” by MAURICE OGDEN, it is called the “coward’s hope”;
the hope that as the hangman comes for yet another citizen, silence will be seen as a gesture of approval and will be thought enough to spare the silent one from the fate of the others. But when all the others are gone, the hangman reminds the coward…
For who has served me more faithfully
Then you with your coward’s hope?” said he,
“And where are the others who might have stood
Side by your side in the common good?”
“Dead,” I whispered. And amiably
“Murdered,” the Hangman corrected me:
“First the foreigner, then the Jew…
I did no more than you let me do.”
Echos of 1938 and still there are stupid, weak men believing…”It could never happen here…not again….not to me!” And armed with their coward’s hope, they move to ingratiate themselves to that which wants to destroy them and persuade other weak-minded dupes of the nobility of their high-minded stance…and that is dangerous.
FREE MUSLIMS of good will cannot remain spectators…they must raise their voices.. they must take a stand. The choice is clear; stand and defend our unique American freedom and show respect for the sensitivity of our WOUNDED AMERICAN HEART. …..or support those who yearn to recede to the Dark Ages of a lawless hell, run by madmen preoccupied with death.
