A short while ago I posted my discussion on what I felt were key points in the last 100 years of American History that have brought us to today. I did that because I felt it was important for you folks to be able to see the truth - at least from my perspective - and when mixed with all the other malarkey out there, formulate your own opinions and draw your own conclusions. Of the points I made about World War I, following the sinking of the Lusitania (conspiracy theories aside), was the point where the American people, outraged, cried out for War! They didn't care if it crashed the economy. They specifically said - we don't care if we go bankrupt, if we lose our homes, if we suffer- they wanted revenge.
The other evening I heard it from Phil Hendrie (partially paraphrased as I couldn't get it all... sorry)- "Why should Obama have to explain his maneuvers in Afghanistan? I think he does it because he's surrounded himself by liberal cowards and people in Congress whispering in his ears. I'm glad we're there. Let's get those mothers. Let's smoke their rat-asses out. I don't care if it bankrupts us even. I don't care if we can't afford it. So, fine, I can't put a new room on my house or get a loan. As long as we stop those child-killing terrorists."
And, I heard it on Dennis Miller (also paraphrased in part), "So what if we kill them. You know what I think? Anyone willing to slap a bomb around a child's waist and send them out to die should be killed, all of them!"
And, I cried.
I try telling you that history repeats itself. It's one thing for 'conditions' to be similar. It's another thing for them to be EXACT. When the people cry out - kill them - kill them all - go to war - we don't care if it bankrupts us -
It's a repeat of what has been. Do I think that it's okay that terrorists kill people? Duhh--- obviously not. I'm against ANY government that hurts its own people - starting with OUR OWN. But, the stage is set. The trends are the same - failing economy, people unemployed, an opportunity for war and to rebuild the country, people driven to support the government going hogwild with taxes and money by seeing their own die - but - there's still one more element missing....
An attack on American soil. And, I'm not talking the 9/11 garbage. I'm talking a real one. Sure, losing family members, friends, loved ones - sucks. But, when the circumstances are conspiratal at best, I want justice from the one who actually did it - NOT - who was accused. And, what is happening? The American "experts" on terrorists (how in the hell does that work?) "speculate", from the comfort of their American offices in Washington D.C., that the Taliban and Al Qaeda are gathering in Afghanistan and preparing for an attack on American soil.
They speculate...... they're guessing. You see, the trouble I had with America going over seas to get the terrorists who committed the 9/11 atrocities is this: Those terrorists are DEAD. They were ON the plane. They died. Sure, maybe there are people over seas in the same types of militias that encouraged them - but they didn't force them. These people went of their own government-driven/media-driven/secular-driven agendas. They came here to 'weed out' and 'kill the infidels.'
Well, what are we doing? We are being told by the government, the media and in many cases even our religions, that these people are bad. We are told this from birth. We are told we have to go over there to 'weed out' and 'kill the infidels.'
So - where is the line drawn? What's the distinction? We are doing NOTHING different than them. Your arguments? Don't worry - I know what they are in advance because they're repetitious, old and still as worthless now as they were long ago, so let me address them:
They started it. Yeah, and two wrongs make a right, vengeance is better, kill 'em with guns not love, and who cares who gets hurt and stepped on in the middle, right? So what if we force governmental seizure and control of the innocent's homes and houses, institute curfews, put them under martial law, tick off the bad guys and encourage them to kill MORE of their own people, and in the meantime, slaughter a few innocent children ourselves - we're being 'saved,' right? Well, if you're still arguing this one - you win, because quite frankly, there is no way to counter an immature argument made by monkeys, by trying to use logic and reasoning.
They kill their own children! Yeah, and America doesn't? Every year thousands - THOUSANDS - of homeless children starve to death (a VERY painful way to die for those who don't know) because the rich get richer and the poor, poorer. We cut back education and put pressure on our children that has them shooting each other. We blast them with sex in media and intolerance in politics. We're SCREWING their financial futures and condemning them. DHS is kidnapping MILLIONS of innocent children every year and is responsible for the rape, murder and abuse of tens of thousands of them every year. Sure - we are SO justified in this. You have no argument.
They may come back! Yep - you're right. They may. They may send over terrorists who will get through the federally locked down airports and hijack another plane. They may kidnap people overseas and kill them. They may kill around 100 people by the end of the year. On the other hand, going to war means they WILL kill THOUSANDS of U.S. troops... children (for those of you who don't realize the majority of soldiers on the front line are still under 20 years of age - and to me, that's still someone's baby). They WILL fire missiles and bombs in their own streets in increased numbers. So, on this one, you win. Let's do it YOUR way and increase the death toll - much better.
Their people deserve better! YES! You are RIGHT! They deserve schools and education and secular freedoms and clean air and good paying jobs and a strong, people-driven Democracy. Let's have America fix it! Why? Because we're the SHINING example of these things. We have GREAT education... um... oops, sorry - scratch that - no we don't... and the first thing to be cut in this economy crisis wasn't politics or authorities that are sucking up the budget.. it was our children's school. But, we have secular freedom! Wait, oops, my bad - we kicked in the doors of a church and took their children because we didn't approve of what we 'believed' (although we were acting impetuously and hurt innocent lives because we were wrong) they were doing, and of course, secular freedom in schools and the workplace are now gone, and of course, the words 'In God We Trust,' have been removed (and are continuing to be) from most Government buildings. But hey - we have clean air! Um, sorry- my bad. Shouldn't have listed that one. We are paying excessively for 'trying' to have clean air and to fix what we have already done. We have jobs? Um, no... gosh... that's been a HUGE problem with outsourcing and what not. A people driven Democracy? Yeah - that explains the multitudes of bills passing that no longer represent the people (or require our votes or input) and AIG getting my tax money to fund THEIR rich people.
So - am I just being defeatist or what?? I'm just trying to make it hard on you, aren't I? There's GOT to be a solution! YES - there is one. Do I know it? No - I'm not the leader of this Country, so even if I had one - it isn't my place to say (although I would encourage those of you who may ever read this to offer up ideas!!). But, I do know one thing for sure. Marching in head first with guns shooting, bullets firing and asking questions later - is NOT the best policy. You see, sometimes, we get SO preoccupied with our OWN agendas, our OWN fears and our OWN frustrations, that we project those onto others. We are so busy trying to figure out an immediate solution, doing what we believed at the time we "could," that we NEVER stopped long enough to consider whether or not we "should."
Let's not be impetuous for once, okay? Let's not March on the road whose end we cannot see, blind-folded and unsure of what's on the other side of the hill. Because, for all we know, it could be a cliff and we could be lemmings (conspiracy aside again.. sheesh!) marching to our death. Let's NOT let our political leaders guide us in this path either. Quite frankly, people who have already cheated and stolen to get where they are and have little conscience in hurting others, aren't the best people to follow. And, people - STOP - following the media. PLEASE! If you want to do that, just end it now and save yourselves the painful, long, drawn out trip to self-destruction.
Let's use our hearts AND our brains. We don't want to die. We don't want people we know and love to die. And, as a last, little diddy - if somebody says: I HATE you and I'm going to kill you, do we run out, buy a gun and go hunt them down and kill them first? Well, unless we're just un-evolved monkey people who need to be shot anyway, the answer is: no. Sure, we may buy a gun. We may secure our own homes and boundaries. But, there's something else that we do (or at least, we're SUPPOSED to be doing) - we find out WHAT the problem is. We don't KILL the problem, we SOLVE it. (btw - killing it makes it worse - solving it makes it go away). We get input from others like the media who tell us it's all about religion, and we take it in and consider it - in part. We get input from those who are angry and usually don't act rationally. Then, we step back and go - hey - wait a sec - these people are hurt. They are scared. And, their fear and pain has driven them to anger. Because, there's a WHOLE nation over there that believes in the Quran, and THEY don't ALL believe in killing - not just Americans - but ANYONE. That tells me, something is wrong. So, let's start by asking the first question, shall we? Do realize, this means you will have to get off your high horse. You will have to want to be a nation that leads the world by GOOD examples starting at home. You will have to humble yourself and show tolerance, respect and love. And, the first question is:
Why are they angry at me and... What is it I HAVE done that needs to change?
Now, go get yourself a twix and chew on it for a while :)
