Regarding the march of Islamo Facism…the extent of daily negative “details” is enough to drive any civilized person absolutely mad. This happens.. that happens.. then, this happens.. and, this person responds by saying this.. then that.. Fox chimes in with its “News Alert”.. and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer jabs his pen at the camera.. Rush Limbaugh blames a democrat.. an airport security screener gets “edgy” and stops a Muslim, who is black, at JFK.. CAIR goes public denouncing the “mistreatment” as unjust and the poverty pimps Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are on the evening news calling it racism.

… And, the beat goes on.

ALL I KNOW FOR SURE is that we Americans are slowly but surely tightening the noose around our necks. As time goes by, we occassionally find the slightest space from which to adjust our hand in the straighjacket. So, we use that space to grab the belt and tighten the jacket. We are living in an age of political self destruction. While politicians blatantly lie to us, cater to constituents whose goals are altogether anti-American, masterfully engage in misdirection, and otherwise do whatever it takes for them to win, they are merely engaging in collective grave digging.

Not that I actually need to tell anyone the following.. but, somehow, someway, this detail of information manages to elude the evening news every single night of the week – the Islamo Facists are educated, capable, intent, wealthy, suicidal religious zealots who DO NOT share the same crippling politics of self destruction that we do. While we sit around and point fingers at each other, they simply further their nuclear weapons programs. We say, “you cannot pursue this technology”. They say, “we are pursuing this technology”.. We say, “you must not test this technology”.. they test the technology.. We say, “you must not proliferate these weapons”.. they proliferate the weapons. WE ARE ACTING LIKE FREAKIN’ COWARDS!!!! And, sooner than later, they will effectively control and areas of Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Syria, Iraq, and Iran. Yes, Israel WILL be destroyed. WHY NOT? – We are all sitting around here pondering our navals and pointing fingers at each other and throwing around completely and embarrasingly empty threats. If not us, WHAT will stop them? History IS repeating itself. However, this time around, the X-factor is nuclear weapons. I’d say the stakes are higher than they have ever been in any previous global conflict – wouldn’t you?

America has the greatest military machine to ever exist. Yet, it appears that we are going to save our military might for RESPONSE purposes. Rather than turn Iran into a parking lot TODAY, it appears that we are going to wait until Israel is blown up, Iran is blackmailing the entire world, and via it’s (or Al Qaeda’s, or both) agents – the U.S. will be effectively held hostage (while some of our cities lay in ruins). Oh yea, right.. i forgot.. perhaps we can use diplomacy!! perhaphs we can negotiate with them!! So, it appears that we are waiting until that day that we are put into a position of absolute desperation. This is inevitable (heck, even our political frauds say, “it’s not a question of if, but when”). And, sadly, it’s like watching a major car wreck occur in slow motion.
