My Errant Mind

I’ve been a bit busy the past few days but wanted to update with some things that have been on my mind lately.

1. Blogging is good group therapy. No really, it’s apparently true!

2. More jack-booted police thuggery. The excuse the Philadelphia police are making for such behavior is a lot of crap and whining. 12 hour shifts and 3 officers shot in three years is your weak excuse for such behavior? Sorry, I’m not buying that.

Why do we need police then? Hell, if lynching and simply gunning down people (like the Bell case in New York) is the best we can expect from police, we don’t really need them at all. We the People can form our own mobs and do the same. Why waste money on law enforcement and government that keeps trampling on our liberties, abusing We the People, and creating for-profit jails and prisons that are only profiting a few individuals while creating the world’s largest incarcerated population?

If you can’t handle the stress, get the hell out and find a job your weak ass can handle. As I have been saying all along, there are an awful lot of police who want to play the tough-guy/badass role of soldier, but that cannot handle it. Contrast their whiny cop excuses with the reality soldiers are facing every day. 3 killed in 3 years? Get over yourselves already.

If it’s so rough, why not just let everyone go armed and disband all the police? You won’t hear me whining. I promise you, there would be far fewer criminals and we wouldn’t have to worry about MS-13 gang numbers on the increase.

3. Speaking of MS-13 gang numbers on the rise, The Atlantic really missed with this article by Matthew Quirk. It isn’t America’s policy that is causing anything. It’s the lack of effort, control, and ineffectual government by Central American nations and the complicity of Mexico and its government in criminal endeavors and the invasion of America that are at fault.

The author seems to suggest that we shouldn’t bother trying to control our borders or deporting drains on our society. Rather, we should give them room and board at American taxpayer expense.

Here’s an idea. How about we solve America’s unemployment problem by giving every unemployed American a job and a gun—and stationing them on the border? I bet you would see the fastest decrease in the size of MS-13, the fastest reduction of narcotics traffic, the quickest reduction in unemployment, the quickest boost to the American economy, and the most secure border in our history. Alas, nothing that makes sense or is practical is ever done in America.

We might offend all those MS-13 gang members, drug traffickers, terrorists, sex offenders and other illegal aliens who aren’t American citizens.

4. Middle Eastern armies are largely worthless and have been for centuries. They can’t fight major or pitched battles worth a damn—with the sole exception of Israel of course. They’re pretty good in the terrorist department, though.

Give them some explosives, some handy women and children and they will give you fits.

Someone explain to me the point of having an Army that does nothing, as the Lebanese army seems to do so well? The Lebanese army warned its unity was in jeopardy if the crisis that nation is in is not averted.

What unity is that? The unified we’re too scared to fight sort of unity? Or is it the we only fight Israelis sort of unity? Perhaps it is the we Muslim armies only wage war on infidels sort of unity?

If I were going to war and had to choose between taking a brigade from the Lebanese army and a truckload of armed Somalis, I would instead take Bobcat Goldthwait in his suggested VW beetle with a few bottles of MadDog.

We would kick so much more ass.
