When reason departs, irrational thoughts and actions immediately takes
its place. I believe that is what affects the world we live in today
in every aspect of our lives and actions.
Dr. John Lewis
of Ashland University, Ohio, was invited to George Mason University in
Virginia, to give a talk, "No Substitute for Victory: The Defeat of
Islamic Totalitarianism," and faced a form of this onslaught of
anti-reason on the evening of April 24th. Although campus and local
police were present, the barbarians established the anarchical tone of
the event, continually interrupting Dr. Lewis with heckling and
disruptive behavior. What did Dr. Lewis say? Simply that totalitarian
Iran is the U.S.'s biggest threat, that it seeks to impose its
religious tyranny on as much of the world as it can, and that, like
Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, it must be defeated, militarily if
necessary, if the West is to have any chance of survival.
This, the "protestors" did not wish to hear, nor wish anyone else to
hear. Their minds were infected, of their own choice, at the behest of
their religion or their professors. (Ayn Rand might have referred to it
as "venomous muck.")
When reason is applied to a specific
critical issue, what can account for the resistance to what it
prescribes as proper actions to take? Why is reason rejected so
hastily, or so volubly, so finally? In the GMU protestors' case, it is
a matter of active resistance to it, prompted by malice or hostility to
it as a resolution to problems or to the values reason seeks to advance
or preserve; in many others, it is a matter of lethargic, passive
resistance, or a disinclination to think, or a preference to rely on
undisputed, supposedly infallible authority, augmented by whatever
irrational, fallacious ideas an individual has absorbed in the culture
and never bothered to scrutinize.
I
find it appalling that evidence supplied by the U.S. Military and
supported by the World Tribune that Iran is supplying weapons to the
Iraqi insurgents and also that agents from Iran have been directing the
insurgency and we take no actions. Evidence is a matter of reason,
thus it does not matter and is prohibited from consideration in
establishing our foreign policy.
A massive tsunami of reason is required to overcome the irrational
thoughts of many groups in our country that is suffocating us and the
West for the past one hundred years.
In their twisted thinking, Dingy Harry, Nanny Pelosi and their cohorts
continuously propagate and create an atmosphere where reason is lacking
completely. Then there is the king of the idiotic, irrational media
Olber-fuhrer-mann, suggesting that the Republican candidates during
the GOP debate appeared "very belligerent and very willing to turn to
military solutions, or at least keep them on the table on the subject
of Iran."
It appears to as an anti-thesis of rational and reasoned thought that
we should continue to passively accommodate Iran’s war against us.
