"It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf."
-- Thomas Paine (The American Crisis, No. 1, 19 December 1776)

It is a total fool that can expect any reason from negotiations to come from any terrorist and/or terrorist sponsor. The only way civilized man can deal with these murderers is to kill them before they kill us. I said in an earlier post that the 'MidEast Peace Process' has been going on since 1978, and what real positive good results have actually come from all that talking?? Only the ability of the Islamo-fascist to grow stronger across the board.
When I heard that France was pulling their 200 Spec Ops types from Afghanistan I wanted to shout, typical retreating French in the face of battle. But I also heard on the news of credible intelligence that Islamo-Fascist terrorist, (not Christians, Wiccans, Athetist, Buddist, Jews, Martians) are going to mount attacks in either the U.K. and/or France...but Islamic Muslim terrorist. So I figured, the French military H.Q. said we need all of our 'French' soldiers home to defend France from the now assembled 5 - 6 million muslim army of jihad now living in France. With a populaiton of around 60 million living in France, take out another 6 million of immigrants other than muslims, old men, women, children, that will leave France with about 260,000 in the military, all branchs included, 150,000 police.....looks like they're outnumbered already. Even a coordiated attack by a 500,000 Islamo-fascist types will put France in deep doo-doo. So I won't argue their moving their forces out of Afghanistan after the news that the Taliban is growing in strength....but I will go...hmmmm.
You know dear reader, I heard today that, driving in small cars is dangerous. Some 'group' put out a report that small cars are more dangerous and a cause for Americans dying in greater numbers than what we should be. Sounds weird but stay with me.
Driving SUV's is according to Al Gore and Company, causing Greenland to melt into the ocean and make ocean front property out of West Virginia. So who's right?? Which is worse, what do we drive?? Oh, heard also today, that suburbians are more fat than urbanites due to autos. Can I get a big 'duh' brothers and sisters?? DUH! We're riding more in the suburbs than the walking urbanites. Spending more time in our little cars that are killing us and our big SUV's that are melting Walrus World.
Here's my Christmas present to you, amazing great advice: big government grants of cashola go for this information so my chunk had better make my bank asap....to live a more healthier life...walk more, eat more green leafy vegetables, reduce your salt and sugar intake, moderate your alcohol and coffee, quit smoking, watch less TV and read more, make and take time out for your family, your dog, your self. If you are religious, take a few minutes each day to meditate and pray or if your an atheist, just meditate in a quiet place, turn off the TV and spend more intimate time with your better half and take your time doing it!!! Now my amazing prophetic ability says you will read/hear every one of these in sepeate articles on a newspaper, magazine, or cable news in 2007. And some group will say that after an extensive study we determined yada yada yada blah blah blah. Vegas bet!!
The mainstream media has reported serious crime is up in the U.S., the blame...the usual...Bush spending too much money on Homeland Security. That rubbish. Police forces have not dropped their jobs and become anti-terrorist squads. The U.S needs two things....one- more police on the street, just uniformed police officers. Two...a judicial system that protects the people, the victims, the property, and large jails to throw the criminals into without plea bargains. If some really smart college educated types look into this, they might see that these violent crimes are being committed by the generation that grew up in the 90's, listing to gansta rap, playing the violent video games, represented by a President that proved that inappropriate actions do not necessitate responsibility, rebuttle, or retribution. That this 'generation' is committing the crimes of a more serious nature. Cause and effect, a classic example.
That's about it for my big 100th posting. Need to take my own advice and go spend some time with my better half.
