This is How the West Will Fall

When the West turns upon itself and against those values that have made us worth preserving, we are digging our own graves, or, to paraphrase a long dead tyrant's words, we are giving our enemies the rope with which to hang us.   Those of us who value our shared legacy of personal freedom and the concomitant right to pursue our own happiness are now at risk of becoming enemies of the state:

Dutch cartoonist arrested for 'insulting people'

Cartoonist known for mocking Muslims, leftists has received death threats

A Dutch political cartoonist was arrested this week on suspicion of insulting people because of their race or religion through his work, authorities said Friday.

The cartoonist, who works under the pseudonym Gregorius Nekschot, was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of violating hate speech laws and held overnight before being released, a spokeswoman for his publisher Uitgeverij Xtra said.

"He was arrested with a great show of force, by around 10 policemen," the spokeswoman said.

Imagine, it took 10 policemen to arrest this dangerous enemy of the state.  I suppose that is easier than ensuring public safety when there is a cadre of psychotically angry, hyper-sensitive, rage fueled primitives whose feelings must be attended to.

This is how we fall.
