Of Tolerance and Terrorists
Perhaps if we considered the ways of the terrorist, we might actually learn something. All of our advanced science tells us that overpopulation is a problem, but all this time terrorists have been directly fighting that very problem with their seemingly primitive technique of blowing people up. We have also just learned in the past century to conserve nature and not harm endangered species, but this was already something the terrorists apparently knew, as they only kill a species that is quite plentiful: people.
And while we feebly try to reduce our carbon footprints with recycling and other measures, the terrorists have been well ahead of us by completely removing carbon footprints by eliminating people. With our military strikes, we target combatants who all tend to be young males — the main producers in most societies. Terrorists, however, go after non-combatants like women and children, whose deaths tend to destabilize a country’s economy to a much lesser degree. So while we may look on terrorists as primitive and barbaric, perhaps they have some wisdom we have simply forgotten in the West.
I guess many Americans are just scared because terrorists are trying to kill us, but can we really blame them for wanting to attack us when we celebrate their deaths and always portray them as villains in movies and TV shows? It’s time to end our visceral, knee-jerk, negative reaction to them. Luckily, we now have a president who will finally treat terrorists like human beings.
Obama has vowed to stop the bellicose rhetoric of the former commander-in-chief and is even working to give terrorists the same legal rights as all Americans. That’s because Obama is not a hater who condemns people just because they’re different or “society” says their actions are wrong. Why, back in Chicago, he was even friends with a terrorist. That’s the sort of tolerance America is supposed to be known for.
So I hope we can become a more caring society that accepts terrorists as our friends and equals. Yes, today if someone is identified as a terrorist, he isn’t even allowed to use public transportation or go to a public school. We can slowly change this, though, and then, finally, terrorists can fully be part of society and no longer have to hide. Then instead of having to conceal their bombs in their underwear, they can proudly wear them in full display to all. And we can finally live in harmony, blowing people up together in love and friendship.
Mr. Fleming, you also forgot to mention that, according to Obama, terrorism is also our “fault.” It’s our fault that terrorists want to kill Americans, don’t you know that? The terrorists feel inferior to us because their countries are an economic shambles, they live according to social rules that were created in the Eleventh Century, and their leaders are corrupt, ignorant, and greedy slugs who think nothing of sacrificing their own people if it means retaining their dectatorial grip on their own tribes. Somebody has to be blamed for this, right? And it certainly can’t be the people in their own country. So naturally, these poor, underprvileged, and illiterate souls have a right to kill us. Mr. Obama seems to think so, which is why he keeps apologizing to anyone who will listen to him. Don’t your know, America, we’re the ones who should be blamed for terrorism, not the actual terrorists. Perhaps if we apoligize enough, bow enough, grovel enough, plead enough, kiss-ass enough, and supply billions in foreign aid, all Muslims will love us. Isn’t that the plan, Mr. President? The man who currently lives in the White House doesn’t have a clue as to why terrorists do what they do. Which certainly means we’re going to get hit again, and again, and again.
OBAMA’S WAR ON MOSLEM POVERTY
Why can’t America win the War on Terror under the leadership Barack Hussein Obama? Why can’t he rise to the level of a great wartime leader like a George W. Bush, an FDR, a Truman or Abe Lincoln in fighting our radical Moslem enemies? The answer lies in Obama’s politically correct view of Islam and his little understood war on Moselm poverty. Google ApolloSpeaks (one word) and read my groundbreaking piece: Obama’s War on Moslem Poverty and see what I mean.
Frank, I think you’ve discovered how the won’s mind works.
Stop the hate, segregate
Terrorists are just people, too. Can’t we all just get along?
It pains me to think of the daily anxiety and fear that many terrorists experience, wondering if their panties are going to prematureely combust, or if their bomb vests are wired properly. It is just another shameful indictment on America, and or typical lack of tolerance for those who simply live….and die…differently than us. Whether it is an intact terrorist, or a terrorist than has been rendered ‘pieces to meeses’ by holy jihad explosives, we should honor and acknowledge that they have a point of view, too.
Sheesh. Is this that hard to understand? Yer all HATERS!
Stop the hate, segregate!
Well, if I’m going out to a restaurant I still want to have a no-bomb section if you don’t mind.
All you bigots need to preform an act of contrition. I suggest you all go donate to the United Allah College Fund. You know the group who’s slogan is ..wait for it.. wait for it…
” A Suicide Bomber is a Terrible thing to waste”
BBDB #7. All drinking fountains will face Mecca. Or else!!!
and they are all poor. well, except for the really really rich ones. and its all the fault of the chews. well, except now its also the egyptian’s fault. and the cartoon guy. and so forth.
No No No, you confused conservative minded simpletons have it all wrong. We terizts do not blame all of our woes solely on the american people. We also blame the JOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSS too. We attack america only because we are too scared of the JOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSS.
Please consider signing a petition sponsored by “Human Events” and Redstate.com urging AG Holder to remove the 9/11 terrorists’ trial from New York City: http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=1421
Does this mean we can’t punch them in their faces? Maybe if our kids can play together, we can all get along. In musical chairs will the kids left without chairs be the ones who get to wear bombs? Or maybe the “winner” gets it…
We may as well try to get along with roaches and termites.
For a second there I thought I was reading the New York Times.
“Typical intolerant America. Any day now, there’ll probably be a proposal for separate drinking fountains for terrorists.”
Well, that would make them easier to find, wouldn’t it?
Great column; I hope nobody misses the sarcasm tags…
Finally, someone is telling the truth about Terrorists. I don’t care, I do NOT want a terrorist living in my neighborhood. The American People are sick and tired of the Politically Correct BS.
Terrorists smell bad and they can ruin your day!
you know you are just screwing with the trolls
Yes, but would you want your daughter to marry one?
And think of the the grandchildren. They blow up so fast.
I commend your insight and obvious intelligence. As long as you have failed to pay your income taxes or have committed some well-hidden felonies, I would like to offer you the position of Surrender Czar.
i do so want to understand them and wear a vest in solidarity, but it just makes me look fat. the fashion police just won’t allow it.
7. KevinButterfield: Well, if I’m going out to a restaurant I still want to have a no-bomb section if you don’t mind.
Well Kevin, it depends.
Sometimes if the waiting line is long, I’ll take my chances and accept seating in the Bomb Section. Been doing this for awhile now… So far, so good…
As long as we can still punch hippies, I’ll go along.
Sasha and I were just talking about this the other day while we were on our weekly foray to the Farmers Market.
“The problem”, I ventured, “is that we just dont have any Terrorist friends”.
“Well how about a dinner party?”
Sasha is so clever about these things. Nobody is going to blow up anyone after one of our famous dinner parties.
We launched into a discussion about what we would need for such a sioree which landed us in Whole Foods for hummous and pita. That part was easy, but as I pointed out hummous is too obvious and not a meal, so we settled on roasted lamb as an entree followed by Baklava which Sasha makes herself from fresh Philo dough.
After some discussion about alcohol we purchased some tea and decided to leave the Lebanese wine, which I insisted on, under the counter until we had gauged the situation.
Now to find some terrorists.
I remembered the Cardiologist down the street. He is large and swarthy and wears a blue turban which I have long envied. I approached him as he was pulling out of his driveway and tried to find out if he had any connections.
He seemed annoyed and said something about being “called in” so he had to go, and being “Indian” and not knowing any “Terrorists”. I invited him over anyway for some curry, which I love, as his BMW churned up the snowbank at the foot of the driveway.
So anyway, we have all this Hummous and the Lamb is in the freezer, so if anyone knows any terrorists we are free on Saturday night.
Namaste,
Sp’in Doa’k and Sasha
Can’t blame the guy for turning down your invitation, sounded like he was really Sikh and cranky. The lamb might also have turned him off–not sure if those guys go in for that. Ennyhoo, some nice falafel along with the lamb on a bed of rice, served by women just dying to be beaten or stoned by the guests might have done the trick–just make sure the lamb was was killed in the halal rather than the kosher fashion–the latter is a real party-pooper for terrorist types. Or so I’ve heard….
Halal and Kosher rules for slaughtering an animal such as a lamb, are nearly indistinguishable. The rules for enjoying the eating of such are the same.
The question is the authority who supervised the killing. Even within-group this is a big question.
Spin
tone it down
HOW DROLL AND QUAINT. Frank, you’re my kind of guy.
Make fun of them all especially those who would protect and forgive these bums.
Maybe, just maybe, if we heed Frank’s advice, one day we can fulfill the American Dream and a terrorist can actually become POTUS. Oh….never mind.
I, for one, would like to go to a restaurant that served terrorists. I hear they taste just like pork.
I can’t help wondering when the lower echelon terrorists figure out that their masters never blow themselves up. Are the mullahs a bit more knowlegable about those alleged 72 virgins?
Terrorists are people just like you and me.
Well, speak for yourself. Abdulmutallab shares with you a relative stupidity. You light your junk on fire here on a regular basis here, though metaphorically.
I understand that the NON bomber (olberman’s words) has some genital damage as a result of his failed attempt to kill people.
shouldn’t we accept the blame for that? didn’t we tempt him by putting infidels in an airplane?
i think we should be man enough to cough up some cash to provide restoration of genital perfection for this hapless zealot,in order to spare him any embarrassment when he meets the 13 virgins
the ball(s) in our court
If we employ your way of thinking, then I’m sure you wouldn’t mind being put in a cell with Hannibal Lecter. After all, the poor man just wants a little protein now, doesn’t he? He’s not a bad man. He’s just doing what comes naturally to him. In fact, he should be lauded for his Fava bean recipe! And why are we targeting him with that nasty looking mask? Next thing you know, we’ll be putting manacles and shackles on him! The injustice of it all! (Yes, I know he is a fictional character, but unless you’re a total idiot, you understand my point.)
I hope I never, ever meet you because I might just punch you in the face.
