Rattlesnake Logic

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 rattlesnakes 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 so I can 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 the rattlesnake 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 out there 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… As a country, we should start giving more thought to the fact that these jihadists’ are telling the world 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!

I love this country. It’s the damn government I’m afraid of!

Look who’s new in the White House!

Arif Alikhan, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security

Mohammed Elibiary, Homeland Security Adviser

Rashad Hussain, Special Envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference(OIC)

Salam al-Marayati, Obama Adviser and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council and is its current executive director

Imam Mohamed Magid, Obama’s Sharia Czar from the Islamic Society of North America Eboo Patel, Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships

This is flat-out scary!

The foxes are now officially living in the hen house…

Now ask me why I am very concerned!

Do you feel OK with this?

How can this happen, and when will we wake up? We are quiet while our Country is being drastically changed!

Erin and I

We did the shopping thing today. Picked up a doorbell for ML’s bedroom. Because of my tinnitus I can’t hear the bell that she rings to get our attention. Nina hears it fine, but I can’t hear it from 10 feet away. Since I will be alone with her during the Disney trip that Nina, Tori and Erin are doing next week, I had to make some sort of arrangement for ML to get my attention at night.

Erin fell asleep on my arm on the way home. That kid can generate some heat while sleeping. My arm was wet with sweat when we got home. That kid is a solid sleeper, radio at full volume and not a peep out of her. She wanted to go to the Children’s Museum but it’s closed on weekdays for the cold months.

Two young boys walked into a pharmacy one day, picked out a box of tampons and proceeded to the checkout counter.

The pharmacist at the counter asked the older boy, “Son, how old are you?’

‘Eight’, the boy replied.

The man continued, ‘Do you know what these are used for?’

The boy replied, ‘Not exactly, but they aren’t for me. They’re for him. He’s my brother. He’s four.”

“Oh, really?” the pharmacist replied with a grin.

“Yes.” the boy said. “We saw on TV that if you use these, you would be able to swim, play tennis and ride a bike. Right now, he can’t do none of those.”

  • Why has my health insurance been cancelled?
  • Weren’t we promised that we could keep our insurance?
  • Why is it that I can’t shop for new insurance until AFTER the election?
  • What are the scum that are running for office afraid of by letting me re-insure now?
  • Why is it that this (supposedly) Affordable Care Act only screwing over citizens and not the healthcare companies?
  • Are the doctors hurting from this?
  • Are the insurance companies hurting from this?
  • Are the hospitals and clinics getting hurt by this?
  • Are the government employees getting hurt by this?

I’m betting the answers to the last 4 questions are no. I hate that son of a bitch that runs this country and I’ve never said that about a sitting president before.
