The Colorado Confederatarian

Goin' up t' Yankeeville, Buffalo, NY t' be precise, t' visit daughter, SIL and grandbabies.  Y'all say a prayer for a safe trip, if'n ye wud.

Gonna go visit this here little town while I'm thar.   It seceded from th'  Union durin'  Lincoln's war.  God bless th' Copperheds!

See y'all 8/2, Lord willin'.

to buy locally:

Samonella comes from Mexican, not American, jalapenos.

American agribidness poisons us in yet another way, but the Mexicans ain't got they sanitation thang down yet.  And likely never will.  Thar's a reason ye shudn't drink th' water.

Buy here.  The motto of us "neo-Confederates" is "localism, secession, and confederalism."  But if ye cain't yet buy into th' secession and confederalism thang, ye shud at least be able to buy into localism. 

Ain't that right, Josh Sharf?

whin most Christians throughout th' would ain't?  'Tis 'ttributable t' a little heresy called Dispensationalism, whose oreegins date back only t' th' early 1800s.  Y'all kin read 'bout it here. 

Most Zionist Christians, like our Christian friends over at the Rocky Mountain Alliance, see th' establishmunt of th' State of Israel as some sorta fulfilment of prophecy.  Th' rest of th' Christian world thanks that's all theological hoo-haw.   Even many orthodox Jews in 1948 protested th' creation of th' State of Israel, as not bein' in accordance with they understandin' of what Holy Writ sed 'bout th' matter.  There are die-hard orthodox Jews today who still thank th' State of Israel is nuthin' mo' than a secularist project that turned th' Middle East into the cauldrun it is.   Which, of course, is true ohn both points.

Evangelicals who've embraced this "Dispensensationalist" nonsense oughter take a long, hard look at all th' refutations of that theology done by they fellow conservative Christians, which refutations are aplenty.  The Denver Seminary librahree has a gud collection of such books (in addition to books defendin' th' dispy innovation).

I recently reported ohn ol’ Josh’s enlistin’ th’ support of a Muslim lady, who is ‘pparently more feminist thin she is Muslim, here. 

Now he gits th’ support of this feller. 

Mr. Sharf is really havin’ t’ line ‘em up, it seems, since he screwed th’ pooch so egreejusly by callin’ Rima Sinclair, his opponent in th’ GOP House District, a “terror apologist". 

Well, let’s have a little look at this feller, Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, M.D.:

In this here account, a Muslim writer who is by no means a fanatic is intent ohn callin’ a spade a spade, as he sees it.  (Bolded emfasees ‘r mine):

Unfortunately, because of his rank in the military, his medical training, and his Ultra Neo Conservative points of view, Dr. Jasser has been proclaimed by the media and the government as a Great Hope for Islam. He is not the first person to mislead the American People nor will he be the last. Prior to the War in Iraq, Ahmad Chalabi sold the United States and its unsuspecting citizens the same rhetoric that Dr. Jasser regurgitates day after day. However, when all was said and done the end game was nothing but garbage, lies, and millions of people displaced and or killed. Dr. Jasser sees secularism as the answer to the world’s problems. Imam Al-Darsani stated clearly that he supported the U.S. Constitution and he has taken an oath in front of God to defend it. The main difference is that Imam Al-Darsani has not forgotten his faith. He places his priorities as such. God, Family, and then Country as any religious person would. Dr. Jasser has placed his faith in God in the back seat and he has made a conscious decision to support secularism as a supreme authority to all else. . . .

Dr. Jasser is a pioneer and at the forefront of a new age of McCarthyism. His rants and his use of erroneous labels such as Islamist, Political Islam, Radical Islamist, Political Imam, and countless other names mimic that of Senator Joseph McCarthy who cried wolf time and time again. He labeled and accused everyone who opposed his meritless views and ideas without evidence and based solely on his own judgment and interpretation of reality. He proclaimed these people were communist or communist sympathizers secretly undermining the United States and Democracy. Dr. Jasser has adopted this senseless doctrine of baseless intellectual aggression. He capitalizes on the fact that the majority of his listeners can‘t read Arabic and have at most a limited knowledge about the true Islam. This allows him to easily deceive the good people of America that sympathize with what he says. He gets away with it because day after day the American people are subjected to anti-Islamic propaganda that intertwines secular cultures and societies into Islam. Rather than properly educate and clarify the faith, he calls his own (Islam), Dr. Jasser chooses to grab the torch of deception and rally for the call of Islamic Reformation, when he should be calling for the resurgence of the true Islam! Imam Al-Darsani indicated that this resurgence indeed fits well within the mold of modern political thought and American Democracy. Dr. Jasser severely mischaracterized Imam Al-Darsani’s reference to George Washington and the American founding fathers. Imam Al-Darsani praised the efforts and intentions of George Washington and the founding fathers for their moral courage to stand against established injustices regardless of domestic or foreign pressure, oppression, and persecution. Dr. Jasser would much rather blur the truth to support and further his ultra neo conservative agenda. . . .

As noted previously, Dr. Jasser indicated that he is indeed a devout Muslim, however, he is a loose leaf floating around in a world that has refused to accept him. His message may be better received by Muslims if he had any basis for his claims, had an Islamic Education, had an advanced understanding of Arabic, and did not posses a misguided interpretation of Islam. On a recent trip to Phoenix, AZ where Dr. Jasser calls home, I made a point to visit many mosques and to question the leaders of the Islamic Community. I found that they have long dismissed Dr. Jasser and written him off as a lost cause. . . .

So, wut we have here is sumthin’ akin t’ wut we have with Joshua Sharf’s endorsement by that feminist gal.  Here we have a man, a secularist, whose Islam is 'pparently subordinated t’ his secularism.  Conservative Christians know-att liberals posin' as Christians will attempt t' represent th' Faith 'ginst th' "fundamentalists", but th' latter are really just redefinin' th' faith and waterin' it down to suit they own secularist objectives. I suspect that's wut we got here.  Jasser's jus' another neocon, really, 'n  it’s th’same, ole neocon tactic he's- usin' wharby religious sentiment is manipulated by people who really have little if any religious cornviction ‘tall.  It’s was a tactic ‘at wuz used in a most wizard-like fashion by the neocons’ Lord, God and Savior, Abe Lincoln. 

Some of what Dr. Jasser sez in his statement of support for Sharf are rich indeed:

Mr. Sharf will be a clear, articulate voice for patients and for their doctors. He not only understands the issues involved but can make the case for our ideals in the public arena. He has experience arguing and debating the issue, both on his blog, and as a co-host on Backbone Radio, where I had the pleasure of being interviewed by him.

‘L, that certainly qualifies one for office.  Rush Limbaugh for President!

A brief word about Mr. Sharf's primary opponent. Mrs. Rima Barakat Sinclair has no apparent record, prior to this election of having been active in support of free-market health care, or indeed, any traditional conservative issues.

Somethin’ she clearly shares with Sharf.   An’ If you wan’t true traditional conservative issurs, 'n not the ones neocons Jasser & Co. embrace, look here.

Jasser corntinues:

Previously, her sole political agenda seems to have been anti-Israel activism. Her candidacy seems to be more a product of Islamist politics than of ideas central to conservative American principles and activism. Sadly, candidates out of this mold, who conflate the Israeli-Palestinian crisis with their Islamic identity actually harm more than they help the genuine pluralistic advancement of American Muslims. Most Muslims are actually quite diverse in their domestic and foreign policy politics and do not accept the collectivist agenda of political Islam (Islamism).

 As ol’ Snaggle-Tooth has showed before, this attempt t’ link Mrs. Sinclair with “terrorism”, or, as is th’ case here, “Islamism”, is jus’ an ol’ guilt-by-association argumint.   But speakin’ of perceived associations, we still all a-waitin’ for Sharf t’ explain his relationship with th’ Kahanist Matthew Finberg, since Meir Kahane was a certified terror apologist.  That association cud prove t’ be nuthin’ substantive at all, but th’ fact that ol’ Josh is thus far mum ohn it does cause my little redneck mind t’ be a-wonderin’.

 Naw, wut Joshua has here, fir all intents ‘n purposes, are two secularists, not two Muslims, endorsin’ his campaign ‘ginst Rima.  Th’ funny thing is, of all four of them, Rima, Josh, and his two “Muslim” supporters, he is th’ one most closely identeefied with “identity politics”, by virtue of his strong orthodox religion, Zionism, and close association with folks such as Neil Dobro, ‘n possibly Matt Finberg.

Politics is a crazy ol’ thang, ain’t it?
