The Rape of America

[xotoxi]

Has anyone on this board ever been raped?

If you have, please try to remember what the experience felt like.

Did your rape feel anything like having your taxes increased, watching healthcare reform be passed, or bailouts for automobile manufacturers?

When you yelled "NO!" as you were being raped, was it similar to when you yelled "NO!" to ObamaCare, "NO!" to socialism, or "NO!" to trashing the Constitution?

Living and working in America today, do you feel the same as you did during your rape?

Please, take the time to share your rape experience with us and let us know if the "Rape of America" that was described in the OP is an APPROPRIATE analogy.

 

[George Costanza]

Nobody is as good as outing the leftwing agenda as a Recovered Liberal.

And no one is as good at outing the Right Wing agenda of lies, character assassination and dirty political tricks, as a former Right Wing master of all of these, now "recovered" as well: David Brock.

Read "Blinded by the Right" and "The Republican Noise Machine," both by Mr. Brock.

A man who has carved an identity out of rage and envy and resentment. Someone who feels entitled to take whatever he wants.

Remind any one of Teabaggers?

 

[txlonghorn]

Are you explaining the conservatives nad BUsh who demonized anybody that opposed the war as being anti american or terrorists?

Are you trying to point out that only conservatives and Bush are guilty of demonizing other Americans for disagreeing with their political position?

Or that they have no morals, like conservatives love to do?

Why do you think they continue to make that accusation? Ever heard that old saying, "Where there's smoke, there's fire?" It's possible that they might have some firm terra firma to stand on. Of course, they aren't without blemish...none of us are as moral as we should be.

Or how the answer to everything is war and invading a country, which to me seems about power?

It occurs to me that our own Congress, led by General Pelosi and Sargeant Reid, invaded it's own country this year. And the nuclear blast of healthcare has left a gaping hole in the heart of this nation.


Or how Bush essentially said to most of the world and millions of his citizens by "the hell with you, I'm going to do what I want"

To this, I point you back to the point I just made about Pelosi and her minions in Congress.

Nothing about that statement reminds me of someone who likes to drop his nutsack on someone elses face. But apparently it's a fixation in your brain. So are you more intrigued by the teabagger or the teabagged?

You would ask someone to recall, in writing, something that terrible? For the sake of an argument?

One thing's for sure, you've never even known anyone who has been the victim of rape or you wouldn't go there.

If it makes you happy, America isn't being raped. It's being invaded by it's own.

No there will be no response of any value because every charge made was false. It doesn't matter to the Left because facts are just inconvenient things to be ignored. So nothing will dispel the myths of the Left: the George Bush was a conservative, that he cut back regulations and caused the economic meltdown, that he lied to get the country into war because...well take your pick of stupid theories, that the tea party represents basically a remake of the KKK, that people oppose Obama because he's black, etc etc the list goes on and on. And every time they are challenged they deflect, they throw out inappropriate evidence, they do everythign but admit they are wrong. BEcause they cannot. Liberalism is like alcoholism, a disease. The cure is simple to state but hard in practice.

Robin of Berkeley is a frequent contributor to American Thinker:

Let's start by analyzing the mind of a rapist. His goal: Domination and absolute power, through any means necessary.

His motivation: punishing another, degrading her, feeling superior and God-like. Making her feel like an object, nothing, a no-thing.

What else propels him? Taking what he wants just because he wants it. Feeling the surge of power, the adrenaline rush, the thrill of stealing a piece of her.

Anything else? Feeding primitive, twisted impulses; expressing sadistic needs; the savage excitement of subjugating and controlling another.

Those most likely to rape? Someone who was sexually abused himself, an outsider, a person robbed of a normal childhood. A man who has carved an identity out of rage and envy and resentment. Someone who feels entitled to take whatever he wants.

What fosters rape? Parents missing in action. A culture that thumbs its nose at God.

And a society that minimizes crime, that even heralds certain criminals as heroes. (Some Black Panthers were rapists, yet they're revered as idols.) A culture where punishment is weak and politicians are moral cowards, fearful of the ACLU.

What else? A media that celebrates debauchery, that entertains through degrading and objectifying. Popular rap songs and cool hip-hop artists whose words slice and dice women. Films where anything goes, where hot lesbian sex scenes are as omnipresent as those boneheaded authority figures.

And the aftermath of rape? The destruction of something in the victim that will never return: a feeling of safety in the world, in her own body. The nightmare of being treated as an animal -- no, worse than this, since animals are now venerated. And from this nightmare she may never completely awaken.

This, in a nutshell, is how rape works. But words alone can never capture the enormity, the horror, the soul-crushing evil of rape. And not only females can be victims; men and little boys are violated, with women, on rare occasions, as perpetrators.

The word "rape" has an intriguing history. It originally denoted the violent seizure of property. I'm going to use the term in both the historic and modern sense to convey what is happening today.

This country is being raped.

It's no coincidence that the race for the presidency began with vile behavior against Hillary Clinton -- a high-tech wilding of sorts, with her body and sexuality defiled.

But the abuse of Clinton was a walk in the park compared to what has been done to Sarah Palin. Because she's a conservative, and an attractive, younger woman, the debasement has progressed at a fever pitch.

And just like in a gang rape, people who could have done something about it didn't. In fact, the liberal media and many Democrats have stood around watching, egging on the players.

Can someone explain to me how the Democrats' complicity is any different from what happened a few months ago at Richmond High School? There, a gang of boys raped and beat a girl as a crowd not only snickered, but filmed the assault.

We also have the economic rapes, the constant shrieks of "Gimme, gimme." Give me what you have because I want it. Whether it's the iPod torn from your ear, or a big chunk of your income, or your standard of living, no matter. I want it, I demand it, give it to me.

Or the intrusions into our very bodies by ObamaCare's Biggest of Big Brothers. Our medical records, our personal information, our physician/patient relationship, our DNA -- they want it, so they will take it from us.

And now that the Left has finally appropriated our health care and our student loans, our banks and newspapers and automobile companies, are they happy? Satisfied? Grateful, for God's sake?

No, the mocking continues, the outright threats and the violence escalate. Suddenly conservatives are not simply opponents exercising First Amendment rights. We're delusional, crazy, violent, not quite human.

This is what happens when miscreants get away with immoral behavior. In the criminal arena, when the bad guys are given a wink-wink, or a "boys will be boys," or, "He's a victim of white privilege," the perp becomes more emboldened. And he's even more contemptuous of a culture that lets him get away with, quite literally at times, murder.

Still not convinced that what's going on is a Rape of America?

(snip)

Still not sure that the sexualization of children, the wilding of women, the looting of the economy, and the intrusions into our bodies constitute the Rape of America?

I have one final piece of evidence. A majority of citizens are shouting "No," from the rooftops. No! to ObamaCare. No! to socialism. No! to trashing the Constitution.

And yet, to Obama and the Left, the assertion of "No" does not matter. Smug and entitled, drunk with power and giddy when they see our fear, they take what they want anyway.

American Thinker: The Rape of America


I've noticed a lot more conservatives being willing to speak out in the Bay Area lately - and more media support of the message (surprisingly). Even at the movies this weekend (we saw Clash of the Titans), the pre-movie trailers include two advertisements in support of Small Business which advocated reducing intrusive regulation and abusive torts.

Looks like you've done a pretty thorough job of listing Republican and Conservative values. Especially the part about "sex". The right is fixated on sex. But we already knew that.

BS. The words of Timothy are just a bit outdated. That's the way they talked over 2000 years ago. Strange how the left constantly uses ancient history to base their criticisms on the conservatives of today. I guess you think they're all for fastening up all the womens in the house and turning back the clock on slavery.

Seems you're guilty of believing a bunch of liberal bullshit talking points and are not aware of reality.

I think liberalism isn't practiced anymore. Progressive doctrine is. And I don't consider it a disease...I think it is organized anger.

 

[California Girl]

this thread makes me laugh

Me too. What I find particularly funny is when the OP quotes an article and a bunch of dumb ***** like you start whining like the OP wrote the article.

How stupid is that? You guys are too ******* funny. The post that made me laugh the most is the one where the poster decides to respond sentence by sentence - to an article.... like whoever wrote that article is gonna read those comments are respond. Damn, some posters are dumb diddley dumb dumb dumb.

 

[Samson]

So, if you were raping America, where would you stick it?

In the Mississippi Delta? The Grand Canyon?

Potomic River

 

[☭proletarian☭]

Liberalism is like alcoholism, a disease.

Shame you live in a nation founded on the liberal ideology, then. I'm sure the blacks and women share your views and would love to return to the good ol' days.

 

[☭proletarian☭]

BS. The words of Timothy are just a bit outdated.

So you're saying the bible has no place in a modern society?

Strange how the left constantly uses ancient history to base their criticisms on the conservatives of today

Strange how conservatives today still use ancient manuscripts as the basis for their politics, policies, and personal lives.

. I guess you think they're all for fastening up all the womens in the house and turning back the clock on slavery.

They love to wave around a book that espouses just that and attack all the liberals and leftists who argued for emancipation, desegregation, and civil rights.

Seems you're guilty of believing a bunch of right-wing bullshit talking points and are not aware of history.

What fosters rape? Parents missing in action. A culture that thumbs its nose at God.

Rape in the Bible

Care to try again?

Ahh... the intentionally and necessarily vague point.

What is it about valid, sound, sustainable reason, which repels the Ideological Left, across the baord; in every nuanced facet?

Now my guess is, that it's the truth inherent in such; meaning that when you've tried it, it turned into something more akin to a confession... which naturally set the cause back quite a bit.

Care to try again?

And a society that minimizes crime, that even heralds certain criminals as heroes.

You mean like tarring and feathering tax collectors, destroying private property at Boston Harbour, murdering British soldiers...

Ahh...

Now kids... this is truly evil.

Notice how the argument equates rape, with justice; the morally sound, thus justifiable rebellion from long standing abuse by a tyranical government, with populist mob rule?

Such a mindset is common to the Secular Humanist; moral relativism... Setting illicit criminal abuse with the defense from that abuse; it's the same irrational dissemblence; the same blame shifting that is used to herald all manner of evil, not the least of which would be the decades old mass murder perpetrated by Islam against Israel; the 150 Million murders perpetrated by the Ideological Left in China, The Soviet Union, Indo-china, North Korea, Cuba, Central and South America and continues to this day across the various shit-holes on the African Continent.

If it weren't pure Evil; it would be hillarious.

I mean here is a gal who is lamenting violence, while advocating one of the most lethal organism on the Planet: The Ideological Left.

Sounds like Afghanistan, Koream and 'Nam

Yes it does... But American's tried our best to slow it down... Sadly we were faced with not only fighting the Communists who were intent upon Rape in those respective nations, and on the field of battle; but more so, the Communists, such as yourself who were intent on defending the false right of those would-be governments to do so, back here at home.

It was a HUGE mistake and one which will likely be remedied fairly soon; thanks to the Left's recent push to expose their end game.

Why dies the Right love rape so much?

Again friends... the Leftist comes to equate defense from Rape as Rape.

Tipping us off as to it's evil composition.

Right... people mocking her has nothing to do with her being an uneducated hypocrite and a politician...

ROFLMNAO... SWEET IRONY... An ignoramous lamenting ignorance, while advocating the berating of those who wallow in it...

We also have the economic rapes, the constant shrieks of "Gimme, gimme."

And lies: 'Read my lips: no new taxes'

This one speaks for itself. But just towards clarifying... This is a COMMUNIST trying to belittle the failure of a Progressive, to not go back on his word when he signed a bill from the Leftist Legislature that raised the level of governmental theft, inherent in her own ideology.

I have one final piece of evidence. A majority of citizens are shouting "No," from the rooftops. No! to ObamaCare. No! to socialism. No! to trashing the Constitution.

Most Americans are retarded, have no idea what socialism is, never read the bill, and keep voting for the incumbents they won't stop bitching about.

HYSTERICAL! In at least two contexts and on several levels.

Again... this sweet irony, speaks for itself...

Enron is Exhibit A of deregulation and we all allowed it to happen.

I ddint take a mortgage nor did I lend money during that time. I had nothing to do with Enron, passing up investing in the company because I didnt like what I saw.
If you are responsible for either of those two things please contact Charlie Rangel or some other congressman and arrange for a suitably contrite appearance before their committee.

No. In fact I DON'T want anyone to actually recall their accounts of being raped.

Nor do I want a shift in American politics be compared to rape.

Do you see?

Oh I understand... and it's a very understandable point; nothing complex at all about it.

Ya see Kids, what the Moderate Centrist, Mainstream Progressive is desperately trying to do here, is to set aside the intellectually sound analogy of the forcible penetration of the individual; the violation of one's Rights... with the forcible penetration of the collective variety; and for obvious reasons.

Notice the evil? Do you see the deceit? Is the fraud of that member's would-be argument jumping out at you?

She's desperate to convince you that analogy is invalid; that one can't compare a personal violation with a collective violation; because the collective violation; well it doesn't come with very real and very personal, individual consequences....

Again, the Progressive; the deciever; comes to dissemble, to turn you from the truth.

The article cited in the OP informed you of the etymological meaning of rape. She made it clear that the word conveys much more than the personal sexual violation:

rape (v.) http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=rapelate 14c., "seize prey, take by force," from Anglo-Fr. raper "to seize, abduct," a legal term, probably from L. rapere "seize, carry off by force, abduct" (see rapid). Latin rapere was used for "sexual violation," but only very rarely; the usual Latin word being stuprum, lit. "disgrace." Sense of "sexual violation or ravishing of a woman" first recorded in English as a noun, late 15c. (the noun sense of "taking anything -- including a woman -- away by force" is from c.1400). The verb in this sense is from 1570s. Related: Raped; raping. Uncertain connection to Low Ger. and Du. rapen in the same sense. Rapist is from 1883.

The Progressive comes to advance ignorance as her primary tool; to FOOL you... to deceive you; to perpetrate a fraud upon you.

And why do they do this?

They do it because IF YOU KNOW THE TRUTH; if you EMBRACE the truth... They've no means to rape you.

For instance... the Progressive where they are closest to the truth; eagerly proclaim their anti-theis-Humanist 'BELIEFS'...

Beliefs which decidely determine that THERE IS NO GOD!

Where one accepts that foolish premise; the calculation then simply becomes a simple distinctions of personal opinions; and from there; who so ever gets to most people to agree with them; or who ever establishes the perception that most people agree with them will prevail; because as a general rule; those who push that notion are found pushing the notion that "Majority Rules"; which is generally followed closely by the notion that "government determines your rights" and all they need at that point is to secure the government and PRESTO: They determine your rights.

Now the only thing between them maintaining that position, is where there exists the certainty that they do not have a right to determine your rights... and that notion is founded in the certainty that the ONLY thing which THAT idea can rest upon is the authority from whom those rights originate.

If that authority is YOU... and the minority... Well you're trumped by the 'Majority Rules' thing.

If that Authority originates in the Supreme Being... well that trumps Majority Rules...

See how that all comes together?

Accept their fatally flawed premise, ANYWHERE... AT ANY POINT... and you concede; Compromise with WRONG and the ONLY potential outcome if WRONG; Compromise with EVIL and there's no potential for Good to come from it.

Consider that for a bit and see if ya still want to pride yourself on being a Centrist, Moderate, Mainstream compromiser...
