Islamists

The issue is not freedom of religion. That goes without saying, although I am glad it is being said.  I am ready to fight for the right of American Muslims to worship what, how and when they please.  They can pray where ever they find themselves.  That includes ground zero.  Like the old saying goes, however, “your right to swing your fist stops at the end of my nose”.  As applied here, that means your right to practice your religion stops when it disrupts my life, causes me pain, threatens my privacy, or puts me at risk of property loss, injury or death, etc.

I vehemently oppose the Cordoba House project as proposed. This is not because I think Muslims should be singled out to restrict the practice of their religion any more than I would advocate restricting the worship of Baptists, Jews, Catholics, Mormons, Krishnas, Buddhists, Christian Scientists, or any other religion.  I oppose the Cordoba House at the proposed location because of the obvious disruptive intent of its developers.  I am totally ignoring the politicians on both sides of the debate.  They don’t count because there is no way to know what they really think.  They have long records of taking positions on issues that are popular with their constituencies.

It is obvious to me and apparently to millions of other Americans that those who insist this “place of worship” be placed on that particular site, do so because of the slap-in-the-face their success would be to all Americans (not just those who lost loved ones on 9/11/2001.  We all lost something we could not afford to lose that day)  The priority here is clearly the slap-in-the-face, NOT worship.

I see this as being akin to the practice of the native tribes of the North American plains of “counting coup”.  In this practice the plains warriors would gain much prestige at the expense of their enemy when they would touch an enemy warrior with a hand or a coup stick and escape unharmed, (kind of a slap-in-the-face)  It did no real physical damage but inflicted great psychological distress on the enemy.  It was a way of saying “I can have you anytime I want, and what are you going to do about it?”, or in the vernacular “up yours buddy”.

Adding to this proposed insult, the federal government is currently funding the efforts of the promoters to raise the $100,000,000 it will take to build on that site.  What happened to the separation of church and state?  Perhaps that applies only to “churches”, not mosques.  Somehow, I would not be surprised to discover that a few dozen millions of our tax dollars end up in the project.

There are literally thousands of potential sites for the Cordoba House project that would be more cost effective, more convenient to sincere worshipers and would cause no disruption, insult or emotional pain to America and Americans in general.  Of course, these sites will not do, for the reasons listed above.  The radical islamists could not count coup. They would not be slapping our collective faces daily for the next hundred years or so.  Somehow the thought of that makes me smile.

Let the radical islamists (with whom our president seems to be included) be disappointed this time.  I think we Americans should support this project by donating an alternative site for the project… perhaps in the Meadowlands of New Jersey.

I am having a very difficult time understanding many of my “fellow Americans”.

I look around me and see the “American Way” quickly becoming something I am less than proud of.   I see that corruption in our federal government has risen to extreme levels that I never thought possible.

Radicals, socialists, communists, crooks, thugs and automatons pervade the highest levels of our government.

I see a huge power shift from the people to our corrupt government.

I see Black Panther bullies given a pass for outlandish intimidation of voters at a polling place.  By the way, my concern has NOTHING to do with race, it has only to do with America and our law.  I wonder how Mr. Holder would have handled guys in white sheets intimidating black voters in Mississippi?  (I would hope he would stow them under the jail as he should have done with the Panthers. Now I have insulted both the panthers and the clan.)

I see a health care law enacted that creates many more problems than it solves and a US Army unit training in Georgia to handle “domestic unrest” with in our own borders.

I see terrorists being called ill instead of hateful and Americans who cherish traditional American values being ridiculed and mocked.

I see presidential promises broken with a wink instead of an apology (and America winks back).

Speaking of apologies, I see POTUS apologizing to the world for everything that is good in America.

I see our government trashing our relationships with our closest allies and sucking up to those who hate us.

I see our economy being trashed and our children’s future being squandered.

I see what has been a worthless media, rising up and becoming a malignant force that seems to be bent on our destruction.

And our congress! when did it become the enemy of America?

I feel like Rip Van Winkle!

It seems that bad has become the new good and good has become outdated, uncool, and stupid. (Props to Isaiah the Hebrew prophet for warning us this would happen)

The point is, I see these things and think: Germany, circa 1936, Argentina, circa 1955 (or North Korea, circa today).  Whereas, millions of my fellow citizens, see a great new hero who is leading America to its glorious destiny.

And, when I try to talk to one of these citizens who refer to themselves by the euphemism “progressives”,  I begin to see how much trouble we are really in.  Trying to talk to these “progressives” about our founders and the constitution or freedom and its price, is worse than trying to talk to a fence post.  At least the fence post can generally be counted upon to be free from body odor and refrain from spitting on you or clubbing you to death with nonsensical sound bites and mantras.

It is more like trying to teach a pig to fly.  It is a complete waste of time and it annoys the pig.

In reading this, you may conclude that I hate Mr. Obama, but that is not the case.  I hate what he is doing to the America i grew up in.  The one that was created and preserved by the blood and sacrifice of my ancestors.  The one that I have served and struggled to pass on to my posterity.

But I do not hate Barack Obama.

I believe he is simply being himself and doing what he sincerely thinks is best for himself and those he cares about.  There are no surprises with Mr. Obama.  He is exactly what he seemed to be before he was elected and he is behaving exactly as he told us he would (for example: why should he prove he is ineligible for this great job when he can get a pass and keep feeding at the trough?).

When he reminded Republican law-makers that “Elections have consequences” shortly after his inauguration, he was simply setting the tone for his presidency.  He brought his friends and associates with him to Washington just as Jimmy Carter (the last president whose stupidity we almost didn’t survive) did.  It just so happens that rather than being a bunch of “crackers” (and I mean that in the kindest possible way.  Some of my best friends are from Georgia) Obama’s cronies are a bunch of thugs, crooks and radicals (ooops, now I have insulted Chicago).

I don’t hate Barak, I just want the USA to survive him and get back on track.

And I should say this:

Our country has been off track since long before Mr. Obama bounded onto our stage.  In fact, we have been the proverbial “frogs in a pot” for decades.

We have been steadily pursuing a slide down the slippery slope we started in 1962 when prayer was first banned in schools.  This slide was certainly accelerated in the decade beginning in 1965 during which we sacrificed 50,000 American lives in a futile war in Vietnam for which we had no clearly defined objective and no commitment to “win” (whatever that meant to the politicians), then again in 1973 when Roe v. Wade paved the way for the legal slaughter of over 40,000,000 unborn babies so far.

I thought the slide was over when Ronald Reagan was Elected in 1980.  Unfortunately, that merely just a pleasant delay, but it made me feel optimistic about our country again after the Carter fiasco…er… administration.

When you think about it, If the Obama regime serves as a wake up call to a sleeping American populace (who have been enjoying the warming water in the pot for at least five decades) before we actually boil to death, Mr. Obama could be the best thing that has happened to America in fifty years!

The Obama White House has now asked us to be sensitive to the sensibilities of those who wish to murder us and to refrain from referring to the jihadist brand of terrorists as… well, as… jihadists.

This happened in the form of White House Counter Terrorism Adviser, John Brennan’s, recent speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. In his speech, Brennan called jihad a “legitimate tenet of Islam” and seemed to suggest we adopt a whole new vocabulary to deal with what we now insensitively call terrorists and jihadists.

I used to make tasteless jokes about the absurdity of political correctness like everyone else. I stopped a while back when it stopped being funny and was just absurd. Under the guidance of Obama it has now become scary. Now, in addition to some mighty good folks that I really do want to be careful not to hurt or offend, we have added wild eyed terrorists that are determined to blow us off the face of the earth or into total submission.

As far as I know, the only major group of terrorists committed to our collective untimely and nasty demise, rely on their religious beliefs as justification for their crimes of hate. They all seem to be Islamists who are pursuing what has become known as “Jihad” against people like me and possibly you. We have commonly referred to them as “Jihadists” and as far as I know those who practice this extreme interpretation of the Muslim faith consider it a badge of honor to be labeled “Jihadist”. I seem to recall that the term Jihad came to my attention via the scriptures of Islam, as well as some excitement years ago about Islamic religious leaders placing a fatwah (I love that term, I wish it didn’t have such a dark meaning. It is kinda fun to say) that somehow seemed to take in all Americans regardless of their character, gender, age, religion or political and/or social media affiliation. I think it a actually includes card carrying American democrats.

Yeah, I know. You think I am exaggerating.  Read the following Fox news article if you don’t believe me.  Be sure to note the look on Brennan’s face.  To me he looks like he is embarrassed but determined to deliver the message prescribed by the boss.

Counterterror Adviser Defends Jihad as ‘Legitimate Tenet of Islam’
