From my "scary" book The Northern Abyss:

We live in a dangerous world, a world in which the friends of civilization are greatly outnumbered by its enemies. The great Western traditions, those that flow from Greece, from Rome, from Britain: they are ours and we are their guardians and protectors. The peculiar heritage of liberty is our birthright: and its defense is our obligation. Canada cannot be allowed to turn against, to reject, that heritage. We cannot, we must not, go down the road of serfdom, of immorality, or collectivism.

This is not the end of our war. Rather, it is barely the beginning. This country, with its wide land and diverse people, is a microcosm of the battlefield as a whole. Those who would seek to impose upon the decent people of this world a new and post-modern version of morality must be exposed and defeated.

I wish to live in a world where human progress, economic, technological, scientific, and material is continuous. I which to live in a world where the enemies of civilization: terrorists, rogue dictators, and others meet a swift and violent end. I wish to live in a world where human freedom is unlimited, but where self-restraint is regarded as an integral part of those freedoms. However, if we continue down the present road, we shall never see a world such as that.

Instead we shall live in a world were individual greed, in every sphere, reigns supreme. We shall be consigned to a world where the enemies of freedom are always strong, and where free peoples are forever bowed in fear. It shall be a world where progress is stifled by regulation, where the productive are shackled by confiscatory taxation, and in which the moral are forever out-shouted by the immoral.

-Adam Yoshida, The Northern Abyss

Welcome, welcome.

Frankly, if my opponents wish to anonymously attack me, I'm fine with it. I just wish they wouldn't cut up my words.

Here's the article they quoted.

Now, here's how they've presented it:

"(There) should be no quarter offered to the bandit scum who continue to kill and harass our armies... During the Philippine Insurrection then-Colonel John J. Pershing... is said to have deterred Islamic fanatics by having them executed with bullets dipped in pig fat, then wrapping them in funeral shrouds made of pig skin, covering them in pig entrails, and buying them facing down, so that they could not see Mecca... It might also be best if some of the troops of the new Iraqi Army were allowed to witness such an event, lest they entertain any idea of conducting a rising of their own."

Now, here's the real quote:
Fourth, there should be no quarter offered to the bandit scum who continue to kill and harass our armies and make the lives of the Iraqi people more difficult than they need be. During the Philippine Insurrection then-Colonel John J. Pershing (the same man who would command all American forces in the First World War), it said to have deterred Islamic fanatics by having them executed with bullets dipped in pig fat, then wrapping them in funeral shrouds made of pig skin, covering them in pig entrails, and buying them facing down, so that they could not see Mecca (the Islamic religion, or at least the extreme form of Islam practiced and preached by the terrorists, holds that those killed and buried in such a way would be denied entrance of paradise). He allowed several prisoners to witness this spectacle and then set them free. The insurrection on Mindanao ended shortly thereafter. It might also be best if some of the troops of the new Iraqi Army were allowed to witness such an event, lest they entertain any idea of conducting a rising of their own. However, they must also be made to understand that such actions will only be taken against those who used Armed Force against Allied soldiers or their fellow Iraqis.

I've bolded the sections they left out of the Article. Notice the difference? Notice how they deliberately cut out my expression of concern for the Iraqi people, the reasons behind such an action, the results of the use of the practice in the past, and the note that such measures would be used only against armed resistors?

Come on folks. If you're going to attack me, do it honestly. The Good Lord knows that I've said my share of genuinely stupid things.

Also, why on Earth would you direct people towards my book? It's one of the most moderate things I've ever written because, of course, when writing a book I took the time to give things some sober second thought, moreso then blogging allows.
