THE ROAD TO HELL

IS THE ROAD TO HELL REALLY PAVED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS? OR IS IT AS PAUL JOHNSON THE HISTORIAN SAYS, "PAVED WITH SELF-APOTHEOSIS."

IS IT TO FAIL IN A GREAT ENDEAVOR OR TO PURSUE SUCCESS FILLED WITH HUBRIS, THAT IS, SELF-DEIFICATION? THE FORMER, IT SEEMS TO ME, DOES NOT IMPLY A USURPATION OF THE POWER OF GOD. RATHER IT ADMITS TO THE WEAKNESS OF HUMAN NATURE. TODAY'S PRESSING QUESTION, HOWEVER, RELATES TO THE SELF-APOTHEOSIS OF TWO "HELLISH" ENEMIES OF AMERICA -THE MUSLIM TERRORISTS AND THE LEFTIST PRESS?

KEEP IN MIND THEIR COMMON DENOMINATORS. THE FIRST IS THE WORTHY CAUSE. FOR THE JIHADISTS, IT IS TO FULFILL THE WILL OF ALLAH, RID THE WORLD OF US INFIDELS. FOR THE LIBERAL PRESS, IT IS TO BRING DOWN PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND BY EXTENSION THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. THE SECOND IS THE ASSUMPTION HELD BY BOTH ENTITIES, THAT THEY ARE FULFILLING THE ROLE OF GOD BY WEARING A ROYAL CROWN, DEVOUTLY SOUGHT AND PROUDLY DISPLAYED.

WHAT SHOULD WE DO WITH THE ENEMIES WITHIN AND WITHOUT? AS THE 5TH COLUMN, THE NEW YORK TIMES LEAKS CLASSIFIED INFORMATION TO BENEFIT AMERICA'S ENEMY. THEY SEE IT NOT AS A STRIPE OF TREASON, BUT AS A BADGE OF PATRIOTIC HONOR. THE JIHADIST ENEMY IS PROUD AS PUNCH (MEANT BOTH WAYS) OF THEIR JUSTIFIABLE ACTS OF TORTURE AND MURDER.

BRAVEHART, THE SCOT’S CHIEFTAIN, KNEW THE PUNISHMENT FOR TREASON. THE IMAGE OF A MUSLIM ON THE LEFT, HANGING, BEFORE BEING DRAWN AND QUARTERED, AND A JOURNALIST ON THE RIGHT HANGING, BEFORE BEING DRAWN AND QUARTERED WITH AN AMERICAN FLAG WAVING ON A TALL POLE IN BETWEEN, WOULD INVARIABLY BE BEAMED AROUND THE GLOBE.
