<\/p>\nThe fanatical warhawks that routinely appear on Fox News have distinguished themselves by always managing to find new reasons to deploy military forces against perceived threats like ISIL, Iran, North Korea, Russia, immigrants, married gays, minority voters, or MSNBC. But now, for the first time, a Fox regular has advocated declaring war on any nation that isn’t sufficiently aligned with the American model of democracy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Fox News “psycho”<\/em> analyst, “doctor”<\/em> Keith Ablow<\/a> has issued a call to arms<\/a> that is international in scale and universally insane. His op-ed is titled “It’s time for an ‘American jihad'”<\/em> and represents the worst of nationalistic supremacy and aspirations of world domination. He followed up the editorial with an appearance on Fox & Friends where his mania was eagerly lapped up.<\/p>\n By invoking the term “jihad’<\/em> Ablow is deliberately plugging into the controversial mission of many of the radical Islamic forces responsible for world terrorism. He openly admits that his definition of the term includes a “war or struggle against unbelievers”<\/em> and “a crusade for a principle or belief.”<\/em> So he regards it as proper for the United States to take action against other sovereign nations based solely on their having different beliefs than we do. And by calling it a “crusade”<\/em> he seems to be utterly insensitive to the genocidal history associated with that word.<\/p>\n But Ablow’s rant has an even more dangerous impact on international terrorism. He is actually validating the reasons that terrorists have for declaring their jihad against the West. They have long argued that Western democracies are the aggressors and have ambitions to overrun their countries and suppress their people. Now Ablow is telling them that they’ve been right all along. Here is how he begins his tirade:<\/p>\n “An American jihad would reawaken in American citizens the certain knowledge that our Constitution is a sacred document that better defines and preserves the liberty and autonomy of human beings than the charter of any other nation on earth.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n How different is that expression of superiority than the wild declarations of fundamentalist Muslims who insist that they have the spiritual authority from God to impose their theocracy on others. By referring to our Constitution as sacred, Ablow is flipping the debate from a political context to a holy war. He goes on to say that America has a “manifest destiny”<\/em> to “spread around the world”<\/em> our brand of government and to “insist on its reflection in every government.”<\/em> In other words, global tyranny.<\/p>\n Ablow says that the world would be a better place if every country in it would only adopt the American way, and that his jihad would be aimed at working toward that end. His methods of achieving his goals include some profoundly disturbing notions.<\/p>\n First of all, he would have American children be indoctrinated with “feelings of pride in our democracy as superior to all other forms of government.”<\/em> That, of course, would be contrary to the principles of free expression and critical thinking that requires good ideas to rise based on their merits.<\/p>\n Secondly, he would require that American aid be tied “slowly but inexorably, toward reflecting our Constitution.”<\/em> That would exclude a large number of nations who are presently our allies, but worse, it would remove us from nations that we would hope to foster closer ties to. It would also transform our objectives for providing aid from humanitarian to purely political. That would only serve to drive potentially friendly countries farther away while discrediting our motives.<\/p>\n Thirdly, Ablow suggests using American funds to bankroll “an international mercenary force,”<\/em> which is against international law. In addition to that he also proposes that our military take a role because we would have to “accept the fact that an American jihad could mean boots on the ground in many places in the world.”<\/em> His justification for such missions is that “we have a God-given right to intervene.”<\/em> Didn’t Osama Bin Laden say that?<\/p>\n Perhaps the looniest proposition offered in this supremely loony sermon is Ablow’s suggestion regarding what amounts to infiltration of foreign governments. He says that…<\/p>\n “We would urge our leaders, after their service in the U.S. Senate and Congress, to seek dual citizenship in other nations, like France and Italy and Sweden and Argentina and Brazil and Germany, and work to influence those nations to adopt laws very much like our own. We might even fund our leaders’ campaigns for office in these other nations.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I wonder how Ablow would feel about other countries adopting that proposal toward the U.S. I wonder if he knows that it would violate our laws if another nation were to fund campaigns for American offices. So Ablow wants to force other countries to follow our laws while advocating that we violate them. I guess it’s OK for us because we’re ordained by God.<\/p>\n Finally, Ablow has to take a shot at President Obama because if he doesn’t he goes into severe withdrawal. He drools that…<\/p>\n “An American jihad would turn back and topple the terrible self-loathing in our citizens set in motion by President Obama.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is a regular theme in Ablow’s psychosis. He believes that Obama “has it in for America.”<\/em> He is convinced that the President has an affinity for our enemies and hates his own country because his parents abandoned him, or were communists, or were victims of colonialism, or launched him into space from the dying planet Krypton. What’s more, Ablow believes that the American people are so gullible that they have succumbed to Obama’s hypnotic demands to hate themselves. Why else, other than self-loathing, would they have elected him to the highest office in the land twice?<\/p>\n Perhaps Ablow could be persuaded to leave the country for some derelict nation that hasn’t confessed its worship of America where he could run for office. I’m pretty sure he could get a significant amount of donations to advance his campaign if it meant he would not be spewing any more of these deranged theories and further polluting the public discourse here in the U.S.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The fanatical warhawks that routinely appear on Fox News have distinguished themselves by always managing to find new reasons to deploy military forces against perceived threats like ISIL, Iran, North Korea, Russia, immigrants, married gays, minority voters, or MSNBC.
