It's Kind Of Sad, But The Issue Is So Cut And Dried It Really Can Be Perfectly Expressed On A T-Shirt

As a rejoinder to the reality opt-out "i don't consent to being searched" t-shirts:

Yup. The slogan: i do not consent to being blown up"

Reminds me of something Coulter wrote a while ago. The New York Times reported on called Islamic bombings of non-Muslims in... who cares, wherever, they do it everywhere, and the Times, in true knee-jerk fashion, called it a "cycle of disagreement" or something like that.

Coulter replied (approximately): "Yes, it's just a cycle of disagreement. Radical Muslims want to blow people up, and their victims don't wish to be murdered."

Simplistic? Yes. It fucking is that simplistic.

The monster who rapes children has goddamned reasons for the way he behaves. He might have been molested as a child himself, he might be insane, he might simply have some bad-wiring in his head that makes it very difficult for him to resist raping children.

There are reasons for every action, good and bad, taken by everyone on the face of the earth.

But reasons are not justifications.

There's a term for a "reason" for a crime, and it's not "justification," usually, except for a very small set of circumstances justifying what would otherwise be a crime.

Usually we just call the reason for a murder the motive for the crime.

There seem to be an awful lot of people confused on this point.

We don't usually say "The man killed his wife to collect her insurance money, therefore, we should be understanding of the 'root causes' of his butchery." That's not an excuse; that's an element of the crime.*

It's strange... If I walked into any terrorist-apologist's house and shot his family to death, and then told him, "Hey, I was pretty pisssed off about the US not doing enough to control illegal immigration," I really don't think even the terrorist-apologist would find that much of a justification. "So you disagree with US foreign policy--what the hell does that have to do with my family, whom you just murdered in cold blood?"

And yet when other people's loved ones are blown up in Britain, America, or, especially, Israeli, these terrorist-sympathizers have no problem rattling "justifications" for the murder of a civilian.

So, the lines are drawn on t-shirts. Some will refuse to acknowledge that people want to kill them, and will, whether deliberately or not, aid terrorists by causing problems in searching bags.

Others accept the world as it is and have decided they'll do what is necessary to live.

And for that, of course, we're branded "simplistic racist warmongers."

Thanks to Thanks to Confederate Yankee.


* Well, technically, it's not really an element of the crime, although it can be a required aggravating factor for imposing the death penalty or something. I'm kinda speaking loosely here for effect. Give me a break, you rotten bastards.

Photoshop? Seems like a good, easy thing to photoshop. Robert just sent me one reading

you're not being searched,
you fucking moonbat.
your bag is.

What you're really talking about is the Lutheran, and Pauline, concept of original sin.

Posted by: Michael on July 21, 2005 11:33 PM

Actually, Michael, I think he's talking about the nutjobs who blow up innocent people and the leftist douchnozzles who coddle them in the name of "root causes."

Posted by: Sean M. on July 21, 2005 11:57 PM

Um, Sean? I think Michael's point is that Islamofascists kill because they're evil. Which is what original sin means—man inherits a sinful nature from Adam and all Actual Sins flow from that.

Posted by: PlacidPundit on July 22, 2005 12:40 AM

I hope the cop doing the searching rips open his uniform to reveal a t-shirt underneath that says
TOO FUCKING BAD,
HIPPIE

Posted by: Uncle Jefe on July 22, 2005 12:44 AM

So, the lines are drawn on t-shirts.

This will only help one know who to avoid in life's many foxholes. And, frankly, it's nice to know cause this man can't do the moral relativity shuffle any mas.

Sigh. You said "Israeli" in an un-Nazi-like context. Someone break out the stopwatch so we can time the exact moment of Cedarford's initial seizure in this section.

bbeck

Posted by: bbeck on July 22, 2005 01:03 AM

Uncle Jefe,

That's awesome. How about a shirt for civilians that reads "I'm standing nearby so that I can physically subdue you if the need arises."

Posted by: Tim Higgins on July 22, 2005 01:45 AM

"What's a "fargle?" A cross between a fart and a gargle?"

Ummm, gives me a great idea for a new mouthwash...

Posted by: Ring on July 22, 2005 02:03 AM

bbeck:

Cedarford will not show up here. This is not an appropriate thread for the Ongoing Cedarford Joke.

Which works like this:

1. Cedarford asserts that Israel/Jews are beyond reproach, and that they are politically sacrosanct, and that anyone who dares to criticize Israel/Jews will be lablelled as a Nazi, anti-Semite, and so on.

2. Cedarford criticizes Israel/Jews, usually on the basis of well-established facts (theft of nuclear materials, etc.). Occasionally, I add fuel to the fire by defending Cedarford.

3. Half a dozen commenters promptly prove that Cedaford is correct by calling him an anti-Semitic Nazi.

4. Cedarford laughs his ass off. Michael chuckles on the sidelines.

Posted by: Michael on July 22, 2005 04:03 AM

Wow, the creepy troll has a creepy fanboy.

Posted by: someone on July 22, 2005 05:33 AM

5. Michael is incredibly naive and/or gullible.

But hey, thanks for explaining why you've become Cedarford's enabler!

Posted by: Paul Zrimsek on July 22, 2005 09:07 AM

I seem to recall that these 'I do not consent to be searched' demands do not work at an airport. I don't see that big of a difference between a packed subway car and passenger loaded airplane.

Posted by: Dman on July 22, 2005 09:52 AM

I see I only repeated what others had said on another post.

Posted by: Dman on July 22, 2005 09:58 AM

And expect the self-same L3 who wears 'no consent' t-shirts to be first in line to sue everyone and their mother if they're a victim of a bombing, which could have been prevented if bags were searched without mo-rons complaining to the point that the police back off the search policy out of fear of being sued for profiling or violating some Constitutional right (state or fed).

Fact is that the terrorists couldn't care less what side of the political spectrum you're on. They didn't care at the WTC. They didn't care in Bali, or Madrid, or London. They want you dead. It really is as simple as that. And the L3 just doesn't get it (or doesn't care).

Leftism = Slave Morality

Read Nietzsche, and Thomas Sowell...then you will understand...

Posted by: on July 22, 2005 10:10 AM

I want a t-shirt, that says, "I am carrying pig fat. If we blow up, it will get all over you. Allah will shun you. No virgins for you."

It needs to be in big letters, front and back, in both English and Arabic.

Posted by: Phinn on July 22, 2005 10:20 AM

Did anyone else notice that the t-shirt model for their t-shirt is some dude, but the model for our version of the t-shirt is a really hot chick?

Uh, that's Ace in the i do not consent to being blown up t-shirt. Stacked, isn't he!

Posted by: on July 22, 2005 11:18 AM

I'd say more pert than stacked.

Posted by: on July 22, 2005 11:27 AM

The bag search idea is so dumb. I'm all for giving the state power to do what it needs to fight terrorism but this plan is a ridiculous time waster. First of all, you have to consent to your bag being searched. If you're a terrorist, are you going to give your consent? I mean, hello? And if you don't consent, you're allowed to leave, no questions asked. Ok, I'm on 33rd and Lex and they ask to search my bag. I say no, walk to 28th and Lex and get on my train. Five-Ten blocks is about average between train stops. A terrorist willing to blow himself up will be willing to walk a few blocks to mae that happen. It's just absurd. Republicans should not support this idea. It's a classic band-aid on our terrorism problem. It's the opposite of what the war in Iraq will accomplish.

Posted by: Karol on July 22, 2005 12:45 PM

The bag search idea is so dumb.

And just what does this have to do with the pert vs. stack debate?

Posted by: on July 22, 2005 01:27 PM

Fine, pert it is.

I guess I just don't want Republicans to become known as the party that institutes useless feel-good ideas. I mean, the Democrats have had that field covered for so long and they're so good at it. I want us to be the party that institutes smart reforms. Searching every random fifth bag is not smart.

Posted by: Karol on July 22, 2005 01:35 PM

Karol, I disagree. This is about disrupting terrorist planning; catching them is secondary. And you don't think they'll follow up on some suspicious Middle Eastern guy who slinks off with a suspicious bag?

Mind you, the 'no profiling' requirement is truly evil.

Posted by: someone on July 22, 2005 02:01 PM

From the Sun article (which I don't have time to link right now):

[Commissioner Kelly] and other police officials said [...] they would pull aside passengers wearing bulky coats inappropriate for the high summer temperatures and those who appeared to be nervous.
Emphasis mine.

Posted by: someone on July 22, 2005 02:04 PM

passengers wearing bulky coats inappropriate for the high summer temperatures and those who appeared to be nervous.

THEY WEREN'T TARGETING THESE PEOPLE ALREADY???

Posted by: Phinn on July 22, 2005 02:14 PM

Mind you, the 'no profiling' requirement is truly evil.

Exactly. And if you don't consent, they just send you on your way. How is that helpful?

Posted by: Karol on July 22, 2005 02:16 PM

Exactly. And if you don't consent, they just send you on your way.

If you're pert, not with out getting your phone number first.

Posted by: on July 22, 2005 02:41 PM

Really, Michael? Funny, this is the process I've seen Cedarford going through since he first started posting here:

1. Cedarford began writing anti-Semitic screeds using complete sentences and proper grammar, but his arguments made no sense.

2. When his whole not-making-sense was called upon, his posts became increasingly more shrill and more overtly anti-Semitic. He is caught lying badly and often.

3. Cedarford's outer shell cracks and his full-blown hatred of Jews and Israel is exposed. Posters either stop taking him seriously or write him off altogether. Cedarford proceeds to stamp his foot and call names at the meanie Jew lovers. This does not help his reputation, but rather confirms it.

4. Now, even if/when Cedarford can string a few cogent thoughts together -- usually after a combo Metamucil binge and high colonic -- no one cares except you, because he is too well-known for being a racist in general and a crapweasel in particular.

5. Cedarford laughs because crying just makes his mascara run. You chuckle at the sidelines..but then, who isn't laughing when Cedarford posts?

Later,
bbeck

Posted by: bbeck on July 22, 2005 05:48 PM

"Cedarford criticizes Israel/Jews, usually on the basis of well-established facts"

Michael, this just isn't true. Maybe he has some facts to draw on vis-a-vis Israel, but his more broadly anti-Jewish rants are straight outta Der Sturmer. Why you gotta go to the mat for the guy?

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
