To those who would use fear to manipulate us we say NO. If our cause is just and true it will win out, no bump or dip in the road will deter us from the cause of Liberty. We are not afraid, will not be afraid for we know that only thing which we have to fear is fear it's self.

1. On the topic of the post
Edited on Tue Aug-24-10 06:26 PM by RandomThoughts
"If your cause is just and true it will win out."

Or 'take yourself down from the cross.'



That concept when said is a deception.


People think 'winning out' is within their own perceived reality, or lifetime also.

Been said before, but that assumes there is also no free will.


People that think that way, do not believe that peoples actions also can cause some hardships.


That is the philosophy to support the status quo, but most doctrines say the world is not perfect, and should get better. That is also the doctrine that gets people to try and explain bad things as acts of God for some other reason, and not some choice that some person does by free will. I wont list them all, but many have that thought.

Some things could be intervention, but saying everything is, says people don't exist since they would not have free will.

also, what if a person could do something bad to prove something, should they to win out? Are you saying that for good to win, it has to be willing to prove it is correct by doing bad to some people?

5. How would you know?
How would you know if you didn't watch the video? If you had you would have seen the same quote at the end of the video and is a conclusion to that video. To talk about the quote out of context is really a waste of time, but I will be glad to talk about it in context of the video.

6. I was commenting on the phrase you used, not how it relates to the video.
Edited on Tue Aug-24-10 08:27 PM by RandomThoughts
We can agree it could have different contexts, but hard to find many context to such a commonly used phrase, it could mean other things.

I do not discuss the data much anymore because of so much inaccurate information. Mostly think on functions.

So how it relates to a news broadcast is not as important as what it usually says in most contexts.

Was looking at what is in the macros some have for that phrase, not its use in commenting on that video.


How would you know the video is accurate? And if you don't know that, why watch it, although there could be some functional things to think on in it.

Let me put it this way, if you read Jill hit Jane with a frying pan. You can't really discuss what Jill did, or what happened to Jane unless you know the source correct, you can discuss various meanings for 'frying pan'

7. If you don't watch the videos on the video page
it's really hard to comment on them or know how accurate they are. Personally, I don't see why anyone would be on a video page and not watch the videos.

8. For the last Character
For the last Character I read from the script which I wrote and added it to the animation which I had made. What did you think about the subject of the video?

9. I have edited the YouTube description
As far back as the late 60s Nixon had his Southern strategy. It played on the racial fears of Southern Whites. Today we see the same type of a strategy of Islam-phobia, most people have little knowledge of what Islam is really is, which makes it the perfect target. The promoters of fear are falsely equating Islam with terrorism and then lying about the President's faith. Politics has always had a dirty side to it, but the last fifty years has seen the Republicans take it to new lows. It is almost as if the inmates are running the asylum. The one beam of light is that far less people are falling for their spin. Where more Republicans might falsely believe that the President is a Muslim, few really care. This is why the politics of fear will always fail.
To those who would use fear to manipulate us we say NO. If our cause is just and true it will win out, no bump or dip in the road will deter us from the cause of Liberty. We are not afraid, will not be afraid for we know that only thing which we have to fear is fear it's self.

10. Well, said
There isn't any excuse for all the hate, Muslims are as much Americans as anyone else.
