CONTRADICTIONS, INC.

You know something, the world is full of contradictions. I see them every day and lately it seems they are becoming more the rule than the exception. To make this kind of amusing, I am going to list some of the biggest contradictions I see in the same style as Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might Be A Redneck..."

You might be a religious right conservative whacko if you firmly support capital punishment but oppose abortion. This one is the biggest one I see. Opponents of abortion see this as the murder of an innocent while the death penalty is applied only to the guilty. Fair enough, except that there are more than a few prisoners on death row that really are innocent. Let me show this to you another way.

You might be a religious right conservative whacko if you oppose abortion but also oppose helping the children in this country THAT ARE ALREADY HERE to get decent food, shelter and an education. That, folks is the biggest oxymoron in this country to me. Here's a thought for all you Bible Thumping idiots out there; MAYBE if you focused your efforts on HELPING THE CHILDREN THAT ARE HERE NOW, we as a country wouldn't NEED a death penalty...WOW, what a concept!

Another good point on this topic goes straight to the heart of Catholicism; you might be a religious right conservative catholic whacko if you oppose abortion and contraception as well as comprehensive sex education but give the Catholic church a pass for the CHILD MOLESTATION committed by PRIESTS.

Which also brings a simple question to all the good bible thumping morons in this country; are you people really so STUPID as to believe that comprehensive sex education is going to encourage kids to have sex? Do you REALLY believe abstinence only education and "purity rings" is the way to go; even after that crap has been de-bunked over and over again? So, let me get this straight so I completely understand your point of view here. We can't teach our kids the facts about sex, nor can we give them the means to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies and STDs and when they have sex and get pregnant we force them to have the baby which causes them to drop out of school and go on the welfare rolls and then we bitch about having to support all these people who keep having babies indiscriminately. That sums it up pretty well, right?

Trust me when I tell you there are a host of these contradictions on the right side of the fence; to be fair, I will limit this to one from each side because, dear readers the left is just as whacko as the right. So now, let's start on the left and see what we can see.

You might be a left wing, tree hugging, granola eating whacko if you steadfastly believe that banning guns is the only way to combat crime. Really? I find it very intriguing when I see the reactions of liberals when I pose this simple question to them; if the First Amendment's reference to "the people" means the individual has the rights to free speech, religion, and protest, then how can the Second Amendment's reference to "the people" only mean law enforcement and the military has the right to keep and bear arms? To date, not a single liberal I know has been able to come up with an acceptable answer to that question.

Seriously, folks, there is overwhelming proof that stricter gun control laws do NOTHING to prevent violent crime. I don't know why some libs can't see the fact that criminals are not phased by waiting limits, background checks, magazine restrictions, etc. They aren't bothered one bit about it; want to know why? Well that is because criminals will get their hands on guns regardless of the laws...what a shock! Joe Citizen has to wait three days and survive a background check to purchase a handgun yet it will only take a criminal seconds to break into Joe's house and steal his handgun. What a concept...criminals break the law!

I really am beginning to think the liberal left truly believes that, basically, all people want to do the right thing. Kind of Pollyannaish outlook but hey, if that's what they want to believe, so be it. It's commendable you guys want to help everybody have a better life and all but we still need law enforcement and an armed and trained citizenry if we are able to bring that better life to fruition.

The best part for me is this, if the bible thumping whackos on the right would actually do something to help the kids we have now and allow for ways to stem the tide of teenage pregnancy and "unwed mothers", maybe the need for the death penalty would fade away AND the absolute NEED for an armed citizenry would abate some. Now, before any of you out there start to attack, think of this; no matter how much we do to help raise the standard of living for everyone in this country, there will ALWAYS be a criminal element that feels they should just take what they want and THAT will ensure that we will always need to have a well-armed and trained citizenry.

All we really need is for the left and the right to work together; stop pointing fingers and placing blame and WORK TOGETHER!!!!!

Stay tuned for more on the contradictions in our society...oh the fun we are gonna have!

Islam = Love NOT

You know, after the shootings at Fort Hood, I posted a fairly scathing criticism of Islam. I have had a couple of heated discussions recently concerning my views of Islam. So, I sat down and started reading (again) on the nature of Islam and its followers. So here it is, a true story about Islam.

This story involves our favorite shooter, Nidal Malik Hassan. You remember him, don't you? Recent news reports say that Major Hassan is awake and talking in the hospital. Some interesting things have surfaced about this peaceful Muslim. It seems the good and peaceful Hassan attended a mosque where one of the most radical AMERICAN imams, Anwar al Malaki, preached. Yes, you heard me right, an AMERICAN imam who preached at a mosque where THREE of the 9/11 hijackers worshipped. This imam is American born, he fled to Yemen in 2002 and is calling Hassan a HERO. Yes, a HERO. This guy is an American who is now saying that American Muslims who condemn the Fort Hood attack as hypocrites. HYPOCRITES because they DISAGREE with EXTREMISM! Not only that but now we are learning that Major Hassan has a history of hating the country that afforded him the freedom to hate it and kill its citizens. Is there ANYBODY out there that sees the irony in that last sentence? When Hassan was in college, he worried his fellow students so much, they complained about him because he was making blatantly anti-American statements and justifying suicide bombing and saying sharia law trumps the Constitution.

You'd think the Army would have gotten rid of him for that but no, they kept him and made him a Major. Want to know why they did that? This is just my opinion; I think the Army kept him because they didn't want the hassle of an "equal rights" protest from liberal ideologues or risk a public condemnation from the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) accusing the Army of "racial profiling". So, in order to be seen as Politically Correct (PC) they kept him and now we have 13 dead and 29 wounded soldiers for it. Folks, it doesn't take a genius to see here that PC bullshit doesn't work. It doesn't take a genius to see that Islam is a religion of hatred and violence. So why do we accept both? We accept both because the PC clowns have beat us over the head long enough that we are too afraid to do what is necessary to keep us safe! The BEST part of this tale is that the illustrious Army Chief of Staff, General George Casey, is more worried about "anti_Muslim" reactions to the incident. General Casey is more sympathetic to Muslims than to the families of the 13 dead and 29 wounded soldiers.

You know, normally I am an Independent with slightly liberal leanings when it comes to social issues. But THIS is ridiculous. There is no better evidence of the radical and hate-filled rhetoric of Islam than this incident at Fort Hood. It is time, America. It is time we STOPPED WORRYING about the poor Muslims and started protecting the citizens of this country! Political Correctness be damned, take a proactive stance NOW! Issue an ultimatum to every Muslim in America; either you STOP preaching against this country and PUBLICLY and LOUDLY decry and condemn the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Al Shabab, Hamas and every other Muslim based terrorist organization and FIGHT AGAINST THEM or you will be deported. Yes, deported.

Muslims cannot and should not be trusted, ever. It should be a court-martial offense to be in the military and be a Muslim. Yes, this is discriminatory but until I see and hear CAIR denouncing these attacks we have no choice. Islam does not tolerate anyone that believes differently, to try and smooth that fact over with PC bullshit is crazy and stupid. Islam must be run out of America...now. How many more innocent deaths are we going to tolerate until our government grows a set of balls?

12 die, 31 wounded in Fort Hood shooting

Oh my Holy Lord...this breaking news is, to say the least, shocking. It's hard to believe that a soldier would open fire on his fellow soldiers and kill 12. My heart goes out to the families of the 12 dead and 31 wounded soldiers. If they had died in Iraq or Afghanistan, their deaths would, at least, make sense but HERE?!?!? At Fort Hood, Texas?!?!?!? I read the article in shock and horror, I kept asking myself WHY would this happen, HOW did this happen; the answer I was so desperately seeking was right under my nose in the article.

The shooter that was killed by security forces was an Army Major named, and get this, everybody, and think about it...his name was Malik Nadal Hasan. It gets better, folks; this guy was a MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL! So now we have an Army Major, who is an Army psychiatrist who either was born Malik Nadal Hasan or took the name after converting to Islam. Seriously, I do not give one whit on whether he was born into Islam or converted to Islam; for me, the writing is on the wall, clear as day.

This "person" was a MUSLIM who ATTACKED AMERICANS. Gee, what a shock...a Muslim killing Americans...wow I never thought THAT could happen. Just so you know, I am rolling my eyes to emphasize the sarcasm. The even more curious part for me is where in the hell are the MUSLIMS on the Council for American Islam Relations (CAIR)? Where are they? Why are they not condemning this act of terrorism? Do you want to know why they aren't saying anything? It's because THEY WANT AMERICANS TO DIE!!! HELLO!!!! IS ANYBODY HOME!?!?!?!?!?

CAIR sues because some clerics/imams, whatever, were arrested and taken off a flight after they made several disturbing remarks. CAIR jumps on us because we are "discriminating" against Muslims, but when a Muslim attacks for no apparent reason they don't say a word. Kinda like another situation in this country with two certain "Civil Rights" activists who pounce whenever a white officer arrests a black guy for a crime and turns out he was innocent (even though they learn it was ANOTHER black guy who committed the crime) yet NEVER say anything that may show responsibility on their part for their situation.

Yes, Virginia, racism is still alive and well in the USA...but it's against white Americans...not the other way around anymore. Call me a bigot, a racist, a bastard, whatever you want to call me, I don't care. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that Muslims cannot be trusted and should not be trusted under any circumstances. I recall a saying I heard from a friend a long time ago, and it is still relevant today, "Not all Muslims are suicide bombers...but all suicide bombers are Muslims" We as a country have GOT to STOP tip-toeing around these jerks!!! Until these "peaceful" Muslims come out in numbers and CONDEMN terrorism and help to stop the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, the PLO, Al Shabab, and a host of other MUSLIM terrorist groups, I will continue to rant right here that I believe Muslims are untrustworthy animals. Call me a hate-monger, I don't give a crap what you think.

I am tired of putting up with it; you should be too.
