Individual Liberty — Individual Responsibility

For those we lost, We will not forget 09/11/2001

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
— The Continental Congress, July 4, 1776

“The task of statesmanship has always been the re-definition of these rights in terms of a changing and growing social order.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt (Commonwealth Club Address, 1932)

“Roosevelt was wrong! The principles laid down in the Declaration of Independence are the principles of individual liberty. Our unalienable rights, given to us by God are given to us as individuals. Our rights do not come from society or the government, and they cannot be redefined by politicians. The nature of these rights carries with it the implication of individual responsibility, without which we surrender them.”

Trust a Terrorist to Lie

You can always depend on one thing. Islamic terrorists are lying thugs bent on murdering others, and sometimes each other. They have a common goal, to bring down the west, and Israel in particular.

To achieve that goal, they'll do just about anything. They'll drop unprovoked missiles on Israel. They'll blow themselves up. And they'll lie about their reasons.

YIDwithLID has a post that brings this home. He quotes a World Net Daily article in which Abu Ahmed appears to deny his own words from last week.

It gives Hamas a chance to govern during quiet times and not during Israeli operations in Gaza, during which the Palestinian take some frustration out on the Hamas government. Fatah wants violence and Israeli retaliation to generate opposition to Hamas," the source said.

But Abu Ahmed denied the accusations:

"This is totally wrong," said Abu Ahmed. "Our shooting is taking place when there are Israeli crimes, especially in the West Bank. Our shooting at the end of the day is directed against the Israeli enemy and aims first of all to clarify that we will react when our people and militants are hurt."

But last week he had something different to say.

The Iranian-backed militant group Islamic Jihad is firing Qassam rockets at Israel with the intention of sabotaging the month-long Gaza truce and provoking Israeli retaliation, members of the group said Wednesday.

"That's one of the main reason for resuming [rocket] attacks," said Abu Ahmad, a spokesman for the group.

Of course the real goal of all of this is to discredit Israel when they retaliate. Recently the IDF attempted to arrest al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade member Rabia Hamad. They went in in plain clothes, but Hamad recognized them anyway and shot at them and escaped, although he was wounded in the exchange of gunfire. The result? A gunfight in the center of Ramallah and protests.

And of course claims that Israel's attempts at peace are "fake" from Abbas. It's yet another case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Islamic terrorists are liars with only one goal in mind. Anyone that thinks they're truly interested in peace only has to look at their actions... and remember their words.
