Our forgetful Jihad Watchers...

A commenter at Jihad Watch whom I've never seen (under a nickname that is an amusing pun, "My Shari'a Moor") quoted Thomas Jefferson:

“[a] strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means.” – 3rd US Pres. Thomas Jefferson, 1803.

Then one of the "Rabbit Pack" -- that high-school-clique-cum-lynch-mob of hall monitors who patrol the corridors of Jihad Watch comments -- one "Mirren", with whom I've had run-ins before, expressed effusive approval of that quote.  Indeed, one of those run-ins I see, on re-reading it, is directly relevant to my post today.  At any rate, here's Mirren's response to the above quote by Thomas Jefferson:

says
  • Brilliant quote from Thomas Jefferson, thanks for posting it. I’ve sent it to Sharia May, and Nigel Farage.
Well, that's rich coming from Mirren. I say that not only because she has countenanced the hundreds of attacks on me over the years from her fellow Rabbit Packers ("Angemon" and "Philip Jihadski" being the worst offenders) because I have advocated that the Counter-Jihad push the meme of Total Deportation -- and she even occasionally participated in their attacks -- but also because of the above-linked essay (Update on my "Signs of intelligent life on Planet Jihad Watch") in which I analyze, piece by piece, her long and detailed response to another Jihad Watch commenter who is not part of the Rabbit Pack, one "John A. Marre".  This is what John A. Marre wrote that triggered Mirren to compose a lengthy, detailed dunk of cold water on him:

Yes, that’s it, and I want all Muslims kicked out of this country! Enough! I’ve had it! This is too much! Every last one of them out of here! I don’t care where they go! Get out!
And the enabler in chief out along with them! I don’t care where he goes! Send him to Kenya!

And how did Mirren respond?  Of particular note is the following:

As much as I would *love* to kick out all muslims from the West, it’s not, unfortunately, as simple as that. We, in the West, have evolved deep and complex ideas about human rights, tolerance, etc, etc. It is entrenched in our laws, and our society.  ...In order to deport all muslims from the West we are going to have to (i) change our laws...
 
Even if we don't have to change our laws (which I argue in my above-linked analysis), notice how back then, six months ago, she was not only failing to carry the torch of Thomas Jefferson about which now, six months later, she is so gung-ho -- she was positively dampening its fire.

”Brilliant quote from Thomas Jefferson, thanks for posting it. I’ve sent it to Sharia May, and Nigel Farage.”

Perhaps Mirren should also send it to herself.

For the thousandth time, Donkey: what existing laws let you "Totaly Deport" an American citizen? It is the thinking of Jackasses, that we simply throw out the rule of law in horror at the threats both within and coming from without, our Dear Republic. If we allow this type of thinking to prevail, we are doomed. A nation that does not make an effort to protect its citizens (even moslems) from deportation is not a nation worth defending.

I have made it abundantly clear that I support deportation of ALL self-professing moslems that are not US citizens (permanent residents, visitors, students on visas, etc.), and further, I support following up on all of those moslems who seem to be lying, and if we cannot tell sufficiently, then fine – deport them to the country from which they came.

How to tell sufficiently, of course, is the hitch. But if we examine this in a slightly different light and exchange the word “Moslem” for “Catholic”, then the absurdity of the notion of Total Deportation becomes crystal clear – and yes – Catholics have been deported en mass from countries previously. (This is the part where the Sophist Donkey, Dr. Voegy, barges in to say "Catholics never flew planes into buildings or sent suicide bombers to crowded markets". That's true, Jackass - but they were deported all the same and I'm saying I'm in favor of deporting moslems).

The nagging question becomes, “Who’s next?” – “Right Wing Extremists” – “Hippies” – the Intelligentsia? All of this escapes the Jackass’ thoughts.

And lovely lady Mirren? She does not "fail to carry" anything, nor does she "dampened" any fire. You're just a beast of burden - a Donkey - with an axe to grind - because she told you to fuck off when you tried to sic her on JihadWatch comenters you don't like.
