KEEP IT SIMPLE
As long as we insist on
maintaining the "moral high ground" we will NEVER win the war on
terrorism! We're in a conflict in which we absolutely INSIST in playing by the
rules
against a maniacal group who have NO
rules!
Rattlesnake Logic....
After the Boston bombing
the news media spent days and weeks trying to determine why these men did what
they did.
They want to know what
America did(!) to make these brothers so angry with us..
They want to know why these
men were not arrested before they did something so terrible.
The media is in a tizzy
about this new era of homegrown radicals and about why and how they can live
among us and still hate us.
A friend of mine from Texas
explained it all to me:
“Here in West Texas, I have
rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed a rattlesnake on the
front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed them
in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway.. In fact, I kill every
rattlesnake I encounter.
I kill rattlesnakes because
I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with poison.
I don’t stop to wonder WHY
a rattlesnake will bite me; I know it WILL bite me because, it's a rattlesnake
and that's what rattlesnakes do. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake or
have a "meaningful dialogue" with it…I just kill it. I don’t try to
get to know the rattlesnake better,
in order to find a way to
live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me.
I just kill them. I don’t
quiz a rattlesnake to see if I can find out where the other snakes are,because;
(a) it won’t tell me, and (b) I already know they live on my place, so, I just
kill it and move on to the next one.
I don’t look for ways I
might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake...
I just kill it. Oh, and on
occasion, I accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a
rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know for every rattlesnake I kill, two more
are lurking in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place
of rattlesnakes.
Do I fear them? Not really.
Do I respect what they can do to me and my family? Yes!!
And because of that respect, I give them the fair justice they deserve....I kill them...
And because of that respect, I give them the fair justice they deserve....I kill them...
As a country, we should
start giving more thought to the fact that these jihadists are telling the
world that their goal is to kill Americans and destroy our way of life.
They have just posted two
graphic videos on the internet showing them beheading Americans.
They are serious. They are
exactly like rattlesnakes. It is high time for us to start acting accordingly!
