My Errant Mind

Not surprising really. The GOC (Government of Columbia) used the International Red Cross logo in violation of the Geneva Convention during its recent hostage rescue. Pretty much the same thing terrorists do, isn’t it…hiding in mosques and such?

There isn’t much difference between Columbia’s government and the FARC. Columbia has had a corrupt government for many years, and certainly engages in less than legal and ethical activities. It even supports some narco-trafficking paramilitaries. But the GOC is on good terms with our own Federal government, and signing deals with Panama and the Port of New Orleans and the American Congress just as fast as it can.

America has neglected Latin America for far too long, and now China and even Hezbollah are rampant throughout South America. The governments we’re on good terms with aren’t exactly progressive nor without their share of oppression and human rights abuses—not to mention they contribute to the global narcotics market in no small measure. Which even Afghanistan does. Funny how we support so many nations producing so much of the drugs on the world market, isn’t it? Even funnier that our own military and law enforcement agencies even aid and abet narco-trafficking and human rights abuses (such as against the Mapuche and other citizens in Chile).

I’m sure there’s a good reason for it though, right?

Anyone out there actually think anything will happen to Columbia for its war crimes? That’s what using the Red Cross logo in a military operation constitutes after all. Nothing will happen to Columbia’s government, no one will stand trial, and no one will go to prison or be executed or removed from power. It is perfectly fine to violate the law when those carrying the biggest sticks (and waterboarding like it’s a sport) are your patrons after all.

I used to be proud of my service in Korea, and looked back fondly on my time there. That is, until today. Looking back after reading an article detailing the US military and its lack of intervention in the massacre of thousands of Korean civilians, I have a different feeling about the country, my time there, the leadership of America and the military commanders and officers serving at the time.

Bluntly speaking, I’m disgusted in those in our military who sat by and did nothing about mass executions of civilians. Bluntly speaking, I’m ashamed of my country for what it did—which at the very least was to do nothing, and at worst was to actually condone or encourage it through tacit approval by its refusal to do something about it.

What am I talking about? Lining up political prisoners and machine gunning them to death and putting them in mass graves. Not just one incident of it, but a policy and practice of it, every bit as heinous as the war crimes committed by the Nazis in WWII. By one of our allies, and after we took those Nazis to task for the very same sorts of things, which probably makes it even worse in my opinion because it adds the element of hypocrisy.

Right now I couldn’t be much more disgusted in my country, those who led it, and those who lead it now. I will never think of my time in South Korea the same way again. Gone will be what good memories there were, replaced by a revolting, sick thought that I ever helped protect the country of those murdering bastards and sick degenerates. No wonder the communists hated them so fucking much.

Those South Koreans were no better than the communists they fought against. And towards McArthur and all the American military officers who did not stop those atrocities, I look down on them as spineless cowards, despicable, disgusting and weak excuses for men who I wouldn’t piss on—even if they were on fire and begged for it.

You would think that as one grew older and wiser, they would be able to find more reasons to love their country. That’s not the case at all for me. I find more and more reasons to want to see it changed from its present form, much like our founding fathers saw many reasons to change the government which they themselves lived under prior to gaining independence.

Which is why I didn’t even celebrate Independence Day this year. I’m done celebrating the beginning of this government we have to endure, and all the cowardly, evil, crooked, profiteering, corrupt, freedom destroying bullshit that it propagates under the false pretense of freedom and democracy. It’s all about money and power, and that’s all life will ever be about in the eyes of the government here in America.

It hasn’t been about the people, democracy, rights, freedoms and liberties in over 200 years, which is part of the reason we already had one Civil War.

There needs to be a history class in high schools focusing on all the ugly, disgusting, revolting things our nation has done, and who did them—so that we put an end to the mindless worker-drone production line that those in power so love (which, of course, is why it will never happen). We also need laws that prevent any military aid or foreign aid to any nation which allows or condones human rights abuses, the status of which is reviewed each year.

Which if we are to avoid hypocrisy, means we need to hold our own government accountable and have a better means to do so. Elections are simply insufficient means of doing so. So is impeachment, as it is only initiated by other politicians (who are by nature reluctant to do so, for fear of it becoming a commonly used tool whereby they themselves might be removed), and despite popular belief—removal from office is not mandatory if one is impeached.

As an American, I am tired of seeing our nation helping Israel, Arab dictatorships and monarchies, African warlords and various potentates around the world who keep their people in bondage. But in truth, we need to hold our own government accountable first. It is fast becoming one of the worst governments of all for violating personal freedoms, privacy, liberties, and for human rights abuses.

I don’t mind taking other nations to task when security necessitates it. I’m fine with war as sometimes it is necessary. But it is altogether a different thing to close with and destroy the enemy who was taken the battlefield willingly and under the laws of warfare as generally agreed to by nations…and machine-gunning innocent civilians—men, women and even children—in the name of expediency, political protectionism, or anything else for that matter!

What the South Korean military did is the same as what the Nazis did, and the same thing Al Qaeda does—murdering innocent people. Looking back at history in that context, and looking at what is happening today, I find it highly hypocritical that we’re at war with terrorists for doing the same things our allies in South Korea did.

The only difference I see is that Al Qaeda isn’t murdering those innocents of our enemies…just the innocents of our allies and those on our side. I wonder if America would be engaged in a global War on Terror if instead of flying planes into the World Trade Centers, Al Qaeda had instead flown them into the Kremlin, or downtown Beijing?

Probably not.

Well, the whole world has seen it and been aware of it for decades. I just thought I would remind anyone who might have forgotten. Also, I wonder if there’s anyone out there who would like to see Rhodesia revived? Drop me a line, I’m curious.

Couldn’t possibly do any worse than Zimbabwe has done and is doing.

Don’t you just love the mess that the UK, USA and other Western governments have made out of southern Africa with their guilty conscience agenda?

Who knows, maybe the whole region is ready for change, what with the rampant crime and racism in South Africa. Waitaminute…racism in South Africa? That’s what all the violence lately is about. So much for fixing the country by handing it over to the ANC. Racism and ethnic strife both, against whites and black non-South Africans alike.

Some of it is part of the effort aimed at land reclamation and distribution that has been going on in Zimbabwe and South Africa both. One particular target are the white farmers of the region.

Maybe there is an apocalypse on the way? Maybe there’s more to the prophesies of Nicolaas “Siener” van Rensburg than meets the eye?

A woman dying in an emergency room of a hospital, ignored by the staff after lying on the floor for more than an hour, would be bad enough to hear. However, she was forced to be in that room against her will, involuntarily committed for “agitation and psychosis” according to the article on CNN’s website.

Maybe she was in pain from a medical condition that needed to be treated, you think?

So let me get this straight. You involuntarily check someone into a mental institution emergency room, and leave them there for 24 hours? What kind of emergency care is that, first of all? That person then falls face first out of a chair onto the floor and is ignored for an hour…until some complete moron of a staff member finally does their job and checks on that person? And what does this person do? Kicks the person with their foot?

I wonder if you need to go to medical school to learn that?

Another fine example of how government and the system will take away your rights and freedom and prematurely end your life. Medical care in this nation is increasingly something to be had only for the wealthy while the poor get ignored. I hope someone sues the facility in question and puts them out of operation. People that incompetent and inhumane should not be working in the medical profession anywhere in this nation.

Had this woman not been detained against her will, she could have sought medical attention in an emergency room of her choice, or someone could have taken her there.

I mean, why go through the trouble of admitting her, taking away her liberty, costing taxpayers money, and then embarrassing yourself and your profession by doing nothing and letting her die on the floor of your waiting room? The people who admitted her ought to have their feet held to the fire as well.

This is incompetence of the grossest kind.

It appears that a prisoner was murdered in Prince George’s County Correctional Facility in Maryland, and likely by law enforcement officers since the man was in solitary confinement at the time. Yet another example of how our police and government have veered far away from their intent in this country.

The story is that officers put him in his cell and when they checked on him 20 minutes later, he had died of strangulation and asphyxiation—along with two broken bones in his neck. And no one knows who did it? There are surveillance cameras and yet agencies are already dragging their feet on the case, most likely because the 19 year old man who was murdered is black. More importantly, because of what he was—according to the article—suspected of having done.

Ronnie White was believed to have been driving a white truck that was thought to be stolen, and which struck and killed police Cpl. Richard Findley. Believed to be driving the truck? Thought to be stolen? Either he was or he wasn’t driving the truck, and either it was the truck that killed the officer or it wasn’t.

Whether or not someone knows for a fact he was driving the truck that struck the officer is an altogether different matter from what the circumstances were surrounding the officer’s death, and is something that should have been determined in a court of law. Perhaps striking the officer was accidental? Perhaps it was the officer’s fault for acting improperly? Perhaps it was a different truck altogether? It is hoped an investigation will bring these details to light.

Regardless of the circumstances around the officer’s death, however, is the matter of justice.

Do we want to live in a police state where the police determine your innocence or guilt, and carry out your execution without the benefit of a trial? If police are murdering people they arrest, shooting them dead on the street out of suspicion, tasing and killing people—from decorated Marines to pregnant women and the mentally impaired—why aren’t Americans more outraged?

My heart goes out to the family of the officer killed. And believe me, I have no sympathy for any criminal who kills. However, if we are expected to live and abide by the laws of this land, that means everyone should be expected to do the same, including law enforcement officers. Were I a member of officer Findley’s department or a friend, I would completely understand the urge to want to take revenge on his killer.

But we aren’t supposed to do that. We have trials, laws, judges and juries. If we are not guaranteed those things, then there is absolutely NO POINT OR REASON FOR ANYONE TO OBEY ANY LAWS OR TO LIVE IN A CIVIL MANNER AMONG OTHERS IN SOCIETY!!!

Why on Earth would anyone submit themselves to a government that will do as it pleases with no regard for law, procedure, process, liberties, rights, or protections? If one’s fate is left to the whim of police officers or any other government official who has all the same problems as anyone else, has all the same weaknesses of character and spirit and is every bit of capable of acting criminally in their own right (and there are plenty of dirty law enforcement and government officials in this country), then why would anyone ever make the mistake of allowing their person to be taken into custody…or submit to the legal system?

A smart person and one with any backbone, might as well fight it out and in fact turn criminal in an obvious manner. It would be better to have some say in your fortune and whether or not you die on a given day than to submit and be murdered while you sleep by some criminal who wears a badge.

Our society has started to unravel in many areas and for many reasons. The past decade has shown us to what extent Americans cannot and should not depend on law enforcement agencies to protect their property, their liberties, or their lives.

For a significant number of Americans, law enforcement officers and the government are the greatest threat to their lives that they face on a daily basis. That is inherently wrong, and is the very sort of thing we fought against when we took on the Nazi regime in Germany during WWII, isn’t it?

Yet another example of the jack-booted thuggery right here at home in America. Doesn’t this meet the definition of domestic terrorism under homeland security laws and the Patriot Act? It is an attempt, after all, to subvert the law of the land and destroy our society and way of life by eroding the foundations upon which it is built.

Whatever the outcome of this case, one thing is assured: whomever murdered this young man in cold blood will likely receive justice where he was afforded absolutely none.

Well, it has been nearly a week since Congressman Paul dropped out of the Presidential race, and I’m just now working my way out of the disappointment to get around to writing about it. Americans have missed out on the best opportunity to change the direction of our country they are likely to have during this century.

It amazes me how people complain about everything you can think of…gas, war, the economy, foreign trade, outsourced jobs, illegal immigration, our national deficit, our prestige as a nation…and yet most chose to vote for those who have been instrumental in creating the problems in all of those areas. And, who will keep our nation headed down the path that will lead to a collapse of our country as we know it.

There is, of course, the underlying reasons that all of that occurs: people are comfortable with the status quo or profit from it. Americans have bought into the lies perpetuated by a few in the establishment, and even intellectuals and scholars tend now to believe fallacies such as the notion that America could not exist or thrive without the dozens of taxes created in the last 100 years, never mind the fact we did fine without them at some point.

Congressman Paul has a new project, The Campaign for Liberty, which will attempt to get more Libertarian politicians elected. I wish him the best of luck.

America, you missed a great opportunity…

[I wore a t-shirt in high school with that very saying on it over 20 years ago. Ron Paul was fighting for what's right long before I was born, and is the only person who has run for President in my lifetime worthy of my vote. He's going to get it in November, whether he's on the ballot or not...]

I give CNN credit for at least publishing the articles, but I found it funny to see the sort of scenario you find occasionally due to advertising revenue models. One recent article about gas prices and ways to confront the issue featured advertisements with Father’s Day gifts…with a photo of a green Lamborghini that your dad could zip around in for a bit—for the low price of $1495.

Wow…what not a great way to beat the expense of high dollar gas—blowing $1495 for a few hours of driving a car. Not that I don’t appreciate muscle cars, hot rods, racing, dragsters, etc., as I totally do. But what a perfect example of how to drop the ball with demographics. CNN could use some help in their marketing department it seems.

The article was interesting, though. Another article I found of interest was: Oklahoma’s painful car culture.

Oh, and you might as well check out: Is America’s suburban dream collapsing into a nightmare?

Maybe it’s only funny to someone with a marketing background? Oh well, it’s late and I’m bored…

Okay, if you have read any of my posts on open source, you know that I have taken issue with Suse and Novell for their Microsoft deal. However, I am curious to check out the upcoming release: OpenSuse 11.0 should be out Thursday, June 19th.

Why?

Well, while I don’t like that Novell caved in to Microsoft and bought into their fear-mongering tactics, I can appreciate the direction of the OpenSource distro and the progress it has made. One thing I can say from first-hand experience is that Suse will install more smoothly on more systems and has the polished look and feel that makes it a prime candidate for luring corporate/office users away from Microsoft’s ailing platform.

So, I’m going to take a hard look at OpenSuse 11.0, put it through its paces as I consider what distro I should recommend to folks. This is, of course, an ongoing issue/challenge when it comes to Linux as I look for a good SOHO distro that also has the potential to step up and handle the duty at the SMB and Enterprise levels…all while staying user friendly and easy to use.

And, since I am going to take another look at OpenSuse, I might as well give XandrOS another look (I had written it off as well since it climbed in bed with Micrsoft also). Then again, maybe not. I understand the need of businesses to work with integrated networks and can appreciate the difficulties and justifications of cost and ROI when facing the prospect of phasing out legacy systems…but some of the XandrOS licensing and pricing schemes/tiers are starting to look an awful lot like those that come out of Redmond’s greedy resident.

Others I’m about to test include Mandriva Spring 2008, Zenwalk Linux 5.0, Simply Mepis 7.0, Freespire 2.0.8 and the latest Fedora release (which I have put off trying out for some time because of lingering memories of how the Fedora project was being run).

I have run across a lot of fun distros, a lot of slick distros, and some really dismal ones as well over the past few years. A lot of distros have great potential, but there seems to be a common underlying theme of poor project management, lack of focused direction, and ego clashes…with far too little marketing and business sense in the mix. Just when you feel like one distro might make a nice home on the digital range…something comes along to spoil the idyllic moment.

It is my great frustration that I’m not a programmer or I would have started my own distro by now. In the meantime, it gives me something to do on slow days when caffeine levels are climbing, this constant installing and kicking around under the log-on prompt.

There are some things for which no words will ever be truly adequate to express the way one feels. After reading about this article from Sacramento news site KCRA.com and waiting overnight to see if I could find them, I still haven’t.

Passers-by witnessed a man brutally “punching, slapping, kicking, stomping, shaking” an infant on in the middle of the road, according to Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Deputy, Royjindar Singh. At least one, a volunteer fire department Chief tried to intervene, but was unsuccessful. An elderly couple called 911 and reported the horrific attack.

The man was shot and killed by a law enforcement officer whose chopper made an emergency landing nearby so that he could intervene. Prevented from reaching the scene of the attack on the road by an electric fence, he shot the man. The man died at the scene.

According to the man who tried to confront him, the attacker said there were “demons” in the child.

There is indeed evil in this world, and that man murdering that baby so violently is an example of it as clear as they come. It is no abstract religious dogma, but something real. It exists, and when evil people are killed, the world is a better place for it.

What a truly disturbing story, for so many reasons and on so many levels…

The Republican party once again showed complete disregard for Americans by refusing to pass a tax on windfalls by oil companies. The proposed 25% tax on excessive profits by oil companies might have given them an incentive to do something about the current situation, yet Republicans argued that Americans shouldn’t punish oil companies for getting filthy rich while they struggle to afford skyrocketing fuel costs and sell off their SUV’s and pickup trucks.

I intend to vote for Ron Paul in the fall in any case, because he represents the values that I think are best for all Americans, but I will never even consider another Republican candidate from this point on. From here on out, I’ll not ever vote Republican again (which I haven’t done in quite some time anyway), since the Republican party has shown itself incapable of intelligent leadership or effective warfighting, and has shown that it has no desire to secure our borders, deal with illegal immigration, raise wages, nor stand up to corporations.

Speaking of Congressman Paul, he wrote an article blasting the federal government for not doing anything to address the issue and for being responsible for high gas prices in the first place: Big Government Responsible for High Gas Prices, by Dr. Ron Paul.

All of our politicians but the tiniest handful are morally decrepit, and have been for a long time. It’s past time Americans stop lying to themselves. Both major parties are running this country into the ground and getting rich off special interest money. Today, an article pointed out just how special interest groups have plenty of access to both Obama and McCain. Nothing will change with the next President.

Everyone who is sick of rising fuel costs, our Congress spending over $1 billion every day, trade practices that hurt American companies, catering to Arab oil producers and the myriad other problems our nation faces should vote for Ron Paul this November. Even as a write-in if need be.

If we want to change America and save it from a path of ruination and self-destruction, he is the only candidate that will do so.

Take a look at all of these taxes that did not exist in America 100 years ago, when our nation was the most prosperous nation on Earth. This is what special interests, profiteering corporations and crooked politicians have done to fatten their pockets, all the while refusing to raise wages or tax those profiting off the hardships the average American faces.

See a list of the sorts of taxes that did not exist 100 years ago: Hello, I’m from the IRS and I’ll be screwing you over today

[Note: It was brought to my attention that the list which I originally included, and which came from an unattributed email was actually part of a post on the Peoria Pundit blog---hence the removal of the list and the link to that blog and the original post with that list instead. I will have to be more thorough in verifying sources. Thanks to the reader who kept me on my toes.]

Is it any wonder that some 37 million Americans live below the poverty line?

And then our leaders have the gall to refuse to tax oil corporations making billions of dollars of profits while you have a hard time making ends meet and just getting back and forth to work and the grocery store.

All the while, they refuse to secure our borders against illegal immigration, wasting EVEN MORE American tax dollars and giving away jobs to those illegal immigrants who will make these crooked politicians and their special interest lobbies even richer.

The founders of our nation revolted because they had taxation without representation. If politicians are not working for We the People, if they are not doing what is in OUR best interest instead of corporations and lobbies, if those politicians ignore the voice of the American people, if those politicians seek to lie to us and deceive us…then we DO NOT HAVE ANY REPRESENTATION.

What could one possibly dump in a harbor this time around, though?

McCain said he would “…veto every single beer…” and since I like beer, I am all for tossing him in a harbor. Wonder if that’s some kind of radical moral view slipping out that we can expect to see more of if he were to get elected? Hmm…

Ron Paul will be holding a convention of his own during the Republican National Convention in Minnesota on September 2 at the Univ. of Minnesota’s Williams Arena. I urge everyone who is sick of the direction our nation has taken to attend if they can, and to vote for him this fall in the Presidential election.

Just remember all summer long as you read those articles about how to beat high gas prices or cheap vacation alternatives—or as you place an ad in the local newspaper for your SUV that lost half its value in the past 6 months—that those who chose to do nothing on your behalf are the Republicans. That’s not to say there aren’t a lot of morally decrepit Democrats (there are), just that in this one instance, it is the Republican party that wants you to continue feeling the pains of high fuel costs.

If you haven’t heard of the tomato born salmonella outbreak, you should immediately read the following article describing it: FDA Warns Consumers Nationwide Not to Eat Certain Types of Raw Red Tomatoes

The link is to the official FDA press release on the www.fda.gov website.

To all my friends no matter where in the States you are, please check your tomatoes, beware of your tacos, burgers and beef (there was also a recall of 13,000 lbs. of beef as well in a separate incident) and anything else that has a tomato in it for about the next two to three weeks (hopefully, by then they will have all the bad ones pulled from shelves, and those currently shipped will have aged enough to be pulled even if not tracked). Taco Bell, Burger King, and McDonald’s have all stopped serving tomatoes in various places.

You know, with the number of ecoli and salmonella outbreaks the USA has experienced, and with the world food shortage crisis, everyone ought to start learning to garden and at least begin growing what they can. Another option is investing in a farmer. Seriously, you invest in shares of a farmers production–and it is a trend that has been catching on.

The situation with tainted foodstuffs is unlikely to improve during the coming decades. In fact, as demand from an increasing global population ratchets up, oversight and inspection will likely get sloppier in the name of expediting food shipments and meeting that demand. Those farmers who suffered so much in the 80’s and lost farms are those we need now. The shortcomings of the giant corporate farms are showing, their threat to our way of life is obvious and growing—not just because of lax procedures, but because of the increasing loss of legacy seed being replaced with sterile corporate seed.

Those who control the food supply will have even greater power than those who control the oil very soon. Food hoarding is already taking place in the northeast of the country as the food price crisis sets in. Additionally, many immigrants are sending food that they have purchased here in the USA overseas to family members.

Following on the footsteps of the food pricing crisis, the food production crisis is already rearing its head. Hence, the UN task force created to tackle what most other nations have already recognized.

We have seen that the separation of church and state in America is disappearing along with other liberties, freedoms and any notion of justice or sense of duty to Americans. This video sheds a light on something that is troubling to me as an American veteran, which is the influence of evangelical Christians in the US military.

Even back in the 1990’s it was apparent—however, it was growing into a considerable problem. As if there wasn’t enough abuse of rank and privilege in the military, preferential treatment and others being skimmed over for advancement because they do not share a particular faith is a bad thing. It is even worse when top officers and those responsible for military-wide policy have their own personal crusading agendas.

That is yet another reason why I am against organized religion.

We have all sorts of lobbyists and special interest groups attempting to determine what equipment and weaponry our warriors ought to be fighting with or using, and now we have evangelical Christians seeking to pervert the loyalties of American fighting men and women.

The sort of things these idiots stand for are exactly the sort of things I promised to fight against—enemies foreign and domestic—when I enlisted. Any institution which seeks to pervert the loyalties of soldiers, insert its own agenda and policies into our military, and to encourage strife and warfare in the name of religion is an enemy of America in my book…be it Islam or evangelical Christianity.

Recently, soldiers have been finding themselves hounded by their chain of command for being Atheists. Pagan soldiers have had a hard time getting recognition of their faiths—which the followers of the Jewish sky-god in all their myriad variants have long enjoyed. Also recently in the news are reports about PMC (Private Military Corporation/Company) Blackwater having these self-same ties to evangelical Christianity and having unusually high percentages of such Christians evangelicals in their ranks—from the operatives in the field right through the senior level executives.

How bad has it become? Well, last fall, Secretary of State Rice was accused of hampering a Congressional panel investigating issues in Iraq. Why? Because they were investigating Blackwater.

It’s bad enough we have to defend America from Islamists and their terrorism, but now we have our own internal threat in the form of right-wing neo-cons with evangelical fervor in control of the world’s largest PMC and a growing number of military servicemembers who subscribe to that same zealotry.

Really…as if America doesn’t have enough problems, now the same idiots that don’t think I should be able to buy beer on Sunday have their own private military and are trying to subvert our national military. Is there ever going to be a day when America isn’t being sold out by Americans in order to make a buck or religious zealots wanting to reclaim a piece of dirt in the Middle East for the Jewish people?

Does anyone wonder why I dislike all those running around committing insanity in the name of some Jewish sky-god or some Arab moon-demon?

You know, the list of people and organizations I don’t like is far longer than the list of those causes and people that I do like. More and more I keep hoping that there will be some sort of Apocalypse, just so those of us who can’t stand all the zealots that operate in the name of money, the UN, religions, drugs, terror, globalism—and all the other lunacies—will have a chance to get rid of them.

They’re just fucking up our world.

You think I’m kidding? The fanatics of the Jewish sky-god are right here in America, armed to the teeth and preparing for the Apocalypse themselves, just waiting to establish yet another religious state–much like Al Qaeda wanted to create an Islamic caliphate in Iraq. Only they will call it the Christian Colonial Republic.

It’s nice to know if there is an Apocalypse, that freedom loving people will have no end of enemies and opponents to fight if they want to avoid having to live under religious oppression. These sorts will be my enemy just as much as any supposed anti-Christ! In fact, I would view both in pretty much the same light—a threat to liberty.

I didn’t recall Patrick Henry saying, “Give me religion or give me death,” but rather, “Give me liberty or give me death!”

My self-compiled SHF-T (Shit Hits Fan-Threats…”shifty” for short. Kinda like METT-T. Catchy, huh?) list is growing almost daily…

One of the many problems with America and Europe—all of western civilization in fact—is that western civilization has let itself be defined by religion that came out of the Middle East. Two centuries later, people are still running around fighting wars over the words of men long dead, a divine unmarried carpenter born of a virgin and a holy pedophile bandit with a taste for blood and taxes at that.

It’s no wonder the world is so screwed up. Makes me laugh every time I see those idiots in the KKK, the various Aryan sorts that claim to be standing up for racial pride of whites…yet who have tied their identity to the religions of those whose races they hate and look down on. Isn’t that just hilarious?

The whole Christian identity movement doesn’t realize how ridiculous their premise sounds to anyone who realizes that the faith they cling to is not the faiths of their ancestors or their race. And they are all running around toting their guns and hoping for an Apocalypse too, just so they can perpetuate more fallacy, idiocy…and violence on the world…and, err…say it is in the name of peace-loving baby Jesus, right?

Remarkable, the human propensity for madness, isn’t it?
