“The tendency to whining and complaining may be taken as the surest sign symptom of little souls and inferior intellects.”   - Lord Jeffrey

 

A story broke here in Saint Louis over the weekend that just screams of so many unaddressed problems in our current system of education. The story itself is ludicrous but the bigger issues behind the story are issues that quite frankly don’t get enough attention. First…..the story.

There’s a school here called Shaw Visual Performing Arts Elementary. I’ll give your mind a second or two to digest that information. Assumptions of conservative reasoning are shunned by the school’s moniker alone, but here are a few statistics about the school anyway. (For source information, please click on the link.) Shaw Visual Performing Arts Elementary is in the St Louis City School District. It is comprised of 63.5% African American students and 33.6% White students. It performs well below the accepted averages in almost every measurable category. In Mathematics, for example, Shaw ranks at an average of 19.34% compared to the Missouri State average of 49.67%. Now, apparently this school has a long standing tradition of Caroling at Christmastime to raise money necessities that parents are unwilling to provide themselves. Any thought of referring to “Christmas” or the “Birth of Christ” was removed long ago, but only last week did the school make news. Last week, the Principal at Shaw Visual Performing Arts Elementary, during practice for the upcoming concert, asked if there were any students who did not wish to participate in the ceremonies. Out of 350+ students, only a handful raised their hands to indicate some sort of opposition to the melodious tradition. Those students were then led outside to the hallway so that the 300+ kids who were interested could go ahead and practice.

That’s it. That’s the story. Not much there, right? Well, it has been expanded and enhanced so that it has now become one of those non-issues of race despite the fact that no racial slurs, comments, or actions were used. The parents of the kids who were asked to go sit outside the auditorium are now demanding that the principal be fired. Over what? On what grounds should this principal be fired? Because she wouldn’t let your stubborn little turd of a child sit in a classroom and disrupt the rest of the student body? Should she be fired because she didn’t enforce the beliefs, "values", and traditions of your family upon the other 300+ families celebrating the heavily altered traditions of their ancestry? It’s virtually guaranteed that any liberal reading this has already labeled me a racist, so here’s a little economic profiling for you…….Shaw Visual Performing Arts Elementary gives away 70.2% of the meals that are served in it’s cafeteria. That means that for every meal a hard-working family buys, two other families get one for free. Before you go all nuts and start sending me hate mail that claims I hate children and want them to starve, let me explain the significance of that math. Let’s say there were 20 kids that left the auditorium while the rest of the school practiced their Christmas songs. Now, out of that 20, how many do you suppose got some of those delicious “free meals” that day? Honestly think about it. We’re not just talking lunch either. Kids show up to school at 6AM these days. They eat two, sometimes three meals a day at school, and I have no problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the fact that the woman who most likely benefits heavily from the free meals is the one hanging out at the school, on a work-day, taking pictures of what she views as “segregation” with her Smartphone.  She's not working so that she may one day repay some of the mandatory generosity so many others have bestowed upon her children. She's not self-conscious in the least about the fact that not only is her child receiving a free lunch, but she now believes a school principal should be fired for not bending to the will of her spoiled little entitlement-baby. Isn’t that kind of like a Japanese pilot demanding free admission to the Pearl Harbor Memorial; or an illegal alien demanding free souvenirs from the gift shop at the Alamo? I’m just saying…

That principal has EVERY right and obligation to make sure that the concert given to the people who donate the money that keeps free lunches flowing into the dissenters' bellies is a good show. The people who donate the "lunch money" deserve at least that much, right? If there are a measly handful who choose not to participate, then by all means, get them the heck out of the way. This event raises a bunch of money to provide children with meals that apparently over two thirds of the parents at this school cannot provide on their own. Isn’t it about time that people who depend on others to raise their children stop being the first and the loudest to complain when it is not done to their satisfaction? The principal acted appropriately in my opinion but perhaps she could have avoided the entire situation before it began. To be honest, I cannot think of a more shining example of the need for a voucher system of education in this country. This story is isolated to a school here in Saint Louis, but I’m absolutely certain that at least one such example can be found in every school district in every major city in the United States. I would love a school that promoted my family’s traditions within it’s walls. I would love to drop my son off at a school that is allowed to sing “Christmas” songs at “Christmas” time. Children who come from conservative, Christian families could pool their allotted education dollars with the children of like-minded families. Feelings would cease to be hurt over traditions not supported by the boisterous minority. No longer would I be forced to feed the children of families who only send their kids to school for free meals and hopefully a chance to bring a big money, civil suit against “the man” someday. No one is claiming that the “secular holiday songs” were religiously offensive. The bottom line is that the handful of kids just didn’t “want to participate.” Do any of you recall a time in your youth when you were asked if you wanted to participate in an event at school? Do you remember a time when you were given a choice in anything that school demanded of you? If these parents want to voice their political, cultural, or non-religious views through their children, then perhaps we should allow them to do so. Perhaps these kids would be more comfortable at My Mom’s a Nosy Fool Looking for a Payday Elementary. Kids shouldn’t be forced to be the voice of their parents any more than they should be given a choice in what they do at school. A voucher system would allow for a world in which the minority of students who do not celebrate Christmas for whatever reason would never have to see a Christmas tree and would certainly never be asked to sing a “secular holiday song.” I’m willing to bet that, in such a world, the student body at the school to which I choose to send my kids is much, much bigger than the one serving 70.2% free lunches.

Like I said, I assume I will get all sorts of “you don’t know what it’s like” messages from the left-leaners who for some reason continue to read my articles, but their opinions are as irrelevant on this topic as they are on any other. A school voucher system is a good idea for American education. It would allow disruptive kids like the ones at Shaw to be taught by overly sensitive, social barnacles like yourselves while my kid is free to compete and rise to the top on his own merit. I don’t want my kid to make the honor roll in a school where every kid is praised regardless of effort. I want my kid to make the honor roll in a school where he is actually challenged. Our current system caters to the laziest, most uncooperative segment of students while leaving the ones who truly enjoy learning unchallenged and demoralized. Isn’t it about time we create, for our children, a society in which achievement is encouraged, not ridiculed? Isn’t it about time we create, for our children, a system in which education and retention are more important than fashion and celebrity gossip? Isn’t it about time we stop letting unions tell us which teachers we are allowed to promote and which ones we should force into alternative career paths? These things are all fun to rant about, but it’s time to take action. It’s time to get up off our fat, lazy, entitled asses and create a better world for our kids than the one they’re about to inherit. I do NOT owe your disruptive, proudly uneducated, poorly guided, morally ignorant, socially inconsiderate burden a free meal and I certainly don’t owe any credence to his/her/your self-serving demands of special treatment. Get over it.

As always, thanks for playing

Participation Trophies……

“America and Islam are not exclusive and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles of justice and progress, tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.”                

-  Barack HUSSEIN Obama

"BULL$#I+!!!!" – J. Robert Giles

Am I the only one getting sick and tired of being told that Islam is a “peaceful religion” and that our lack of tolerance stems from our own close mindedness?  How about this? Let’s go three weeks without any kind of fervently supported violence in that dusty, primitive part of the world and I’ll pay an ounce of credence to words like the ones spoken by our fearless Shari ’a leader above.

Events like the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the insane acts of terrorists everywhere on the planet are not that much different in many regards but to say that there is no difference between Islam and America is ludicrous. And while we’re on the topic of ludicrous things, I’d like to take a moment to go off on a very targeted tangent about those stupid “Coexist” bumper stickers that uninformed people like to put on their gerbil powered vehicles like a badge of their progressiveness. Just because you put a catchy bumper sticker on the back of your car does not make you tolerant. In fact, this particular sticker is a badge of stupidity, not enlightenment as your liberal brethren may have led you to believe. It goes a little something like this……

The “C” stands for Islam which wants to kill the “E” (Gay Rights), the “X” (Judaism), and the “T” (Obviously Christianity). If Islam got it’s way, “I” (Paganism) and “S” (Taoism) would voluntarily convert or rid the world of their own existence in the name of Allah. “O” (Pacifism) is only able to offer non-violent resistance to Islam and it’s loyal legions of suicide bombers, hijackers, and terrorists. In other words, “C” has absolutely no problem whatsoever with violence, so “O” would be wiped off the planet with relative ease. “E” (Gay Rights) has been suppressed by all religions so they are inherently intolerant of “C”, “X”, and “T”.   “X” (Judaism) lives under the constant fear of annihilation from not only “C” (Islam) but also “O” (Pacifism) because, as we have all been told by honest men like the one quoted at the top of this rant, Islam is a “peaceful religion” and therefore gets the nod of approval from Pacifists. Paganism (I) and Taoism (S) are statistically insignificant but they helped tie the sticker together. Christianity (T) is the back-handed target of the message yet they are the only group on the list to pose no threat to the others. Peel that stupid, twit-label off your car before someone reports you to the people in charge of your fantasy world. 

Envy is one of the Seven Deadly Sins and you don’t have to look all that hard for examples of it’s tightening grip on our world. America is not being attacked by Islam the religion. America is being attacked by envious men who happen to wear the robes and turbans of Islam. For centuries, the men (not the women; they have no legitimate thoughts or ideas) of Islam have believed that stoning women who “get out of line”, participating in “honor killings”, and general terrorism against all “non-believers” as supported by the Koran would eventually lead them to ‘victory’. Then, America emerges with their celebrities and their fake boobs and their opulence and the manipulations and fervor of a violent religion start to bubble to the surface as the flame of envy boils their blood. 9/11 was not ordered by Mohammed. That was an act of crazy men whose envy steered them astray. Islam is NOT a peaceful religion yet we allow ourselves to be weakened and primed for it’s eventual attack by believing nonsense that says otherwise. They’re winning and our own stupidity is giving them our plays.

Occupy Wall Street is another example of envy. For about a quarter of a century, we’ve been living in this coddled society where our kids are not encouraged to compete. Everyone’s a winner, and there are no losers. We’ll rewrite textbooks so as not to offend your delicate balance. We’ll force an entire school to adopt your way of thinking because you had the courage to live in a world that isn’t tolerant of your made-up affliction. Guess what, hippies……that’s not how the real world works! Life is a series of often difficult adaptations. There are no “participation trophies” in life so pull all that metal out of your face and get a job. The job is not going to come to you like your parents have led you to believe. The world does not owe you anything so stop waiting for it to arrive. Disparity is a fact of life. You don’t get an MVP trophy just for showing up. The guy who works hard, practices harder, and keeps his eyes and mind constantly focused on the mission ahead gets the MVP Trophy and guess what….he probably got “your” job too!

Just like the Islamic Jihadists who allow their envy to drive them to attack and kill, Occupy Wall Street protesters are driven by greed. They have catchy slogans and anti-capitalism sayings that somehow justify the millions of dollars in damage, and clean up expenses they are costing the cities in which they camp but make no mistake, these people are the very definition of what’s wrong in our country. Every team has that one player who doesn’t even deserve a spot on the roster. In football, we used to call those players “suit-rats.” They’re the guys who want all the glory that comes from wearing the jersey but they don’t want to do any of the work that the rest of us put into defending it’s colors. America’s “suit-rats” are building little tent-cities and demanding more money that they did nothing to earn. Despite the fact that America’s “suit-rats” have contributed nothing to the pot from which they hope to draw more income, they have the testicular fortitude to demand more from those who do. Once again, they made a mess and we are being told to clean it up. NO!!! YOU clean it up you misinformed little clown! I’m going to go work so I can pay off your flat-screen and online gaming addiction.

You go out, you work hard, you save your money, and you teach your family what’s right and what’s wrong. Period. There is no gray area that allows you to blame the rich guy for all your troubles. Your troubles came because you believe that everyone else owes you a break.Your troubles came because your parents told you that you are special and that you don’t need to work hard. You have been raised to believe that the most important thing in the world is your own personal gratification, happiness, and self-expression. Anyone that tells you otherwise is just intolerant. Then, when all your self-expression has led you to look like something out of a communal toilet, you demand a CEO level job. Despite what your parents told you, the CEO is usually a guy with drive, ambition, and a clear vision of the path ahead. You are none of those things and therefore deserve none of the perks that come from such intense labor. Your poop DOES stink, you are NOT special, and your parents did you a HUGE disservice. Accept it and stop whining, morons.

In short, the drum-circles have failed. The smell of patchouli oils and hemp are most often associated with failure and shiftless dependence. Obama is wrong, as is so often the case. The American people, a group from whom Obama has distanced himself with alarming pace, are NOTHING like Islam. There is NO overlap in our ways of thought. I’m sick of being told that there needs to be. They want us all dead. It’s as simple as that. The Koran flat out commands Muslims to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah and your enemies” (8:60) Wake up, folks…..we’re the enemy and our opponent simply doesn’t care how many participation trophies you earned.

As always, thanks for playing!

I’d like to take a moment to remember the brave men who were lost, scarred, or emotionally altered at Pearl Harbor on this day in 1941. The world has changed a lot in 70 years but envy and greed still surface just like they did in the minds of the Japanese back then. Unfortunately, Amnesty International, the U.N., Bono, the ASPCA, Obama-Lama-Ding-Dong, and the 1.2 million attorneys in the US today make a reciprocal response to such actions impossible. Our enemies are allowed to kill us today because we are too intolerant to understand their plight. Kids, you noticing all this plight?

Habit of Working…..

BY: J Robert Giles

Click Here for Full Site

 

“I am a great believer in luck. I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.”   - Thomas Jefferson

 

 

Recently, Newt Gingrich made a few comments about the poor that have been so predictably misconstrued and smeared across the media that researching the topic has made for a very entertaining morning. I can certainly understand why Newt would not be appealing to those on the left, and more specifically those on the left who thrive in the State of Entitlement. I can certainly see why a successful, opinionated, Southern, white man who would dare to speak of laziness among the poor would be the subject of such criticism in liberal circles.

For those of you who have somehow escaped this story, Mr. Gingrich was speaking in Iowa recently when he said “Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits for working and have nobody around them who works. So they literally have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of ‘I do this and you give me cash’… unless it’s illegal,” he said.

While there may have been a slightly more sensitive way to phrase his point, I see nothing wrong with the sentiment expressed. All day long today, I’ve seen phrases like “working poor” and “disparity”. Newt Gingrich didn’t say that all poor people are criminals. He didn’t say that anyone without a job is a burden, but in an overwhelming number of the cases out there, he would have been well within his right to do so. Not everyone without a job is a criminal and not every unemployed person out there is milking the system but we cannot ignore the statistical FACT that there are now officially more people taking from the system than there are people contributing. That math simply won’t sustain our nation very long. If you’re having one of those slow, Monday kind of days, I’ll explain it for you…..imagine our economy is a big pie. You can’t keep eating the pie, and sharing the pie with your neighbors and even your enemies while telling the bakery owner that you hate him and you think he should give you more of his pie for free. Eventually, you are going to run out of pie. You will then go hungry, and you will starve. Most people have discovered that working pays the bills, but no one can argue the fact that there are an absurd amount of people in our country who simply milk the system and live off the government with no ambition, no motivation, and no remorse. Our money is simply “there for them” to use. If Newt Gingrich ends up being the Candidate to earn a duel with Barack Obama in the 2012 Election, then we must prepare for an all out assault. Drama-mama-Obama-Llama (TM) will use every media source at his far-reaching disposal to tell and re-tell the atrocious beliefs of the rich and white Newt Gingrich.

I don’t necessarily know that I agree with all of Mr. Gingrich’s views, but I do know that he does not hate poor people. People like Steve Benen have gone so far as to insinuate that Mr. Gingrich believes children should start working at age 9. I love absurdly sensationalized writing like that of Mr. Benen. It’s that kind of hogwash that gets those “I’m liberal because my parents said so” types off the fence and into the conservative movement. This comment will not go away soon. They will make sure of it. Before we go to the polls next November, many of those “on the fencers” will be blasted back into the liberal lunacy because they read and believe stories like the one this buffoon has spun.

Do not let yourselves, or your neighbors or friends believe that Newt Gingrich is against the poor. Look at the stories logically and ask yourself if a man who believes children should be slaving away and providing income to their families at the age of nine could have ever survived a political life as long as the one Newt has enjoyed. The sentiment expressed in his comments is absolutely, 100% accurate. There is a sense of entitlement in this country that no one can legitimately deny. You can dress it up anyway you want to; you can call it welfare, assistance, bail-outs, or the esteemed “Occupy” movement, but it’s laziness wherever it is applied as anything but a temporary fix. There are plenty of people who use the assistance provided by many entitlement programs for the reasons and duration intended. Those people work hard, educate themselves, and scrape together everything they can until they can improve their situation. Those people view welfare as a shameful request. Those people believe that taking money they did nothing to earn is disgraceful and they work as quickly as possible to remove the big government nipple from their ambitious lips. Those are not the people Mr. Gingrich was talking about.  Obama and his Solyndra-loving, Smallpox researching, government dependency peddling cronies will try to convince you that all poor people are just down on their luck and need more of our love and compassion. There will be dirty faced, ribcage exposed children peering sadly out of the dirty windows of a dilapidated home to pull at your heartstrings. Those are not the people or the mentality that Newt Gingrich despises. Those are not the people I despise. The ones that make my blood boil are the ones that I encounter on the streets of downtown Saint Louis fairly regularly. For example, a few weeks ago, as I walked down Washington Avenue, I was approached by a clean, well dressed man on a Smartphone who put his conversation on hold long enough to look me in the eye and say “let me get some change up outcha, white-boy.” Most of the responses that came to my mind would have most likely landed me on the news for a few days so I just laughed and kept walking. My money is not yours just because you talk loudly, moron!

There is a real problem with entitlement in our country. We can keep shoveling the issues under the rug. We can keep allowing the media to convince us that evil exists in logic. We can keep allowing good men to be run out of candidacy because of hypocritical belief systems that seem to materialize in the left whenever the right does something they condone and encourage among their own leaders. Bill Clinton diddled an alarming number of fugly women yet he’s heralded as a hero. Herman Cain ‘allegedly’ had an affair while he was working in the food-service-industry and the left simply can’t handle such indiscretion. Call them out on the double standard and you’ll be labeled a racist despite the fact that they are attacking a minority. Such logic has no place in the mind of a liberal. Dare to express favor for a candidate the left does not approve of and you will be deemed non-progressive. People cheat. Republicans cheat, democrats cheat. Liberals cheat, conservatives cheat. It happens. It’s an ugly part of life on planet earth. Good men cheat. Good women cheat. It doesn’t mean their judgment is permanently flawed. Stupid decisions make judgment permanently flawed. My disgust with our current president has nothing to do with his sexual history. The thought of old scrawny McBig-Ears getting tossed around the Lincoln Bedroom by his predator looking lover just disgusts me, but it is not the reason I despise him. I despise him because of his habitual stupidity. Period. I have not led a pure life by any means. There are people in several states with stories about me that will never permit a run for public office, but I do not pretend that I am above them when they succumb to human nature. When they act as though they are better than me because of their illogical reasoning and their condescending tones, then they earn my disapproval…..no matter what letter they put before their state. (R-MO) or (D-MO); it simply doesn’t matter if they had no business being elected in the first place!

Keep eating the pie. Keep giving away the pie. Just don’t expect more pie when you run out and all the pie-makers have moved to more friendly countries where their efforts are encouraged, supported, and applauded. Disparity is directly related to effort. The Wall Street Movement can throw all of the silly catch-phrases they want to but it does not change the fact that disparity is just a clever-sounding way of saying “let me get some change up outcha.”

Politics Over People…..

BY: J Robert Giles

“Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace.”  - James Madison

 

Wow! Am I the only one that believes Madison somehow got his hands on an advance copy of the Liberal Mission Statement? That quote, albeit in a distant, formal version of the English we now speak, sounds like a conversation between Barrack Obama and Santa Claus, doesn’t it? Like a wish-list for the left? Think about what James Madison was actually saying. Think about the times in which these words were spoken, and the forethought that must have gone into such a train of thought. Now think about the world in which we all now live. Is it much different from the fears Madison illustrated in this quote?

Make no mistake about it, Barrack HUSSEIN Obama wants a “standing Army”. He illustrated this point with all the tireless work he put into winning that Nobel Peace Prize after all. Liberals love to spread and twist truth so that origins of their ‘facts’ can never actually be traced, but the bigger truth is often terrifying. Sure there are hundreds of well photographed, well publicized events where good old Mohammobama can be seen with a stoic, absurdly rehearsed look across his face as someone else honors the sacrifice and courage of the military. He and his overworked image consultants make sure that there are plenty of moments to point to and say ‘see….we love those guys” but in reality, their policies and actions say differently. Since day one, Obama has sought to pull all troops out of the Middle East. Our domestic interests have been set aside in order to coddle those who want us eradicated. Imagine a world where Barrackula was free to do as he pleased without fear of lost votes or approval ratings. If he were just a neighb0or of yours, you would have had him committed a long, long time ago yet here he sits, staring down his nose and us and treating the Constitution like a piece of wind-blown debris. A standing army does not mean an army with nowhere to go. A standing army is one whose faith in their leaders has crumbled. A standing army is one who feels as though the commitment they have made to defending their country is not being matched by the men who ask them to do so. A standing army is one who feels unappreciated by a leader who would lose hundreds of millions of dollars to Solyndra and then turn around and demand that money be taken away from those who have fought for this country. A standing army is one who feels that their leader is no longer fit to lead. Standing does not necessarily mean being still. Our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines are much too good for the complete lack of executive level leadership they have been given over the last 3 years. It is unfair of us to expect a fighting force to defend a leader who would see them insulted in favor of his fundraising cronies.

An enslaved press? Are you kidding me? Did you ever think you would miss the days when Bill Clinton used to get all red-cheeked and lie to us while the press applauded his courage? The Obamanator is a creation of the press and it does not appear that they are going to let go of their pride and joy without a fight. Barrack HUSSEIN Obama’s entire presidency has been centered around what makes him “look good” or what actions will “improve his approval ratings.” The media loves this guy and he is everything they need him to be. Idiot who obeys orders – check! Obsessed with himself and his reputation – check! Ability to talk condescendingly to those who dare oppose him – check! There is absolutely no doubt that the left controls the press and any assertions to the contrary are, to put it lightly, hogwash! It’s not just our president either. It’s the liberal ideology that has unfortunately gripped our press, and media. Amnesty International, when started by Peter Benenson in 1961, set out to assist “prisoners of conscience” all over the planet. Their mission was to eliminate torture, ill-treatment, and in recent years, capital punishment. I personally subscribe to the “you harm or intend to harm my family or my kids; I get to harm you” mentality  but that’s a discussion for another time. Amnesty International is now trying to have former President Bush arrested in every African Country to which he travels. Active recruiting for protesting and general disruption during Bush’s visit to Tanzania and Zimbabwe are underway. Now, the beef Amnesty International has with Bush stems not from the horrific human rights violations taking place in the countries to which he is travelling. Those are handled by Bono and Brangelina. The crimes for which Bush is being so vehemently pursued are the water boarding of three al Qaeda operatives in Guantanamo Bay. The men being held in Guantanamo Bay are treated better than they would EVER be treated in their own countries, period. We do not behead our prisoners. We do not castrate them. If our tactics offend your sensitive emotions, then maybe you should sit this jihad out, pardner! If the picture to the left offends you, I apologize but it serves a purpose. The very men responsible for this horrific and unimaginable yet all too real scene are the ones being protected by the left. The pacifist laws and lifestyle we are now being asked to adopt are the laws that these men continue to use against us. Wake up and stop the illogical, childish view of the world. The men whose feelings we are so worried about hurting; whose religious freedoms we are so worried about disrupting……they’re the ones cutting our heads off. Stand up and stop it! These men do not care about the opinions of hippies and neither should we!

A disarmed populace? The left is too sleazy to take on gun rights head on. No, they are fighting this war on a subliminal level. Anytime a shooting takes place in such a manner as to gather public interest, the cookie cutter comparisons start to emerge almost instantly. “He had a gun, so he must be a conservative.” How is that any different than me saying “He shot someone, he must be black?” Guns are not the problem. Crackheads, gangsters, kids who think they are gangsters, and a society obsessed with reputation is the problem. In the case of Mr. Madison’s quote, however, I don’t believe “disarmed” referred to weapons at all. I believe in this instance “disarmed” means improperly informed. Liberals have long since tried to “disarm” us by making us believe that we’re destroying the sky by driving, and the earth by living. They disarm us by using weasel-ish connections to spread horribly sensationalized propaganda. Obama’s speeches seem more like a fundraising telethon than a Presidential address.Problems are created and miraculously can only be cured with more money. These problems didn’t exist yesterday, but now, all of a sudden we are in danger of losing the planet if we don’t bend to the will of The Great Obama. If Jimmy Swaggert is available to deliver the next State of the Union, it might be more convincing! An uninformed population is an unarmed population but a population armed with fictional information is even more dangerous.

Who do we target in our efforts to fix this problem? We waved bye-bye to our right to complain the second we allowed Jon Stewart to be recognized as a credible news source. We keep buying into the fear and the hype and eventually we’re left with a shell of what men like James Madison envisioned. A country is not just the land within a set of borders. When we go to war, we are not defending dirt and earth. When good men make the conscious decision to torture another human being, it is because torturing a violently zealous enemy keeps him from beheading innocent people and then hanging their headless corpse in the streets of their dusty city. A country is so much more than the land, the streets, and the people who sleep under it’s flag. A country is a set of ideals worth defending. A country is a collection of souls with the same common goals and vision. We were once within the scope of that definition. We can get there again. Stand up, slap your neighbor, tell him to wake up and fight for what’s right. It’s time!

As always, thanks for playing!
