I Fought For You

Obama at the Bat

Burning Crayons?

I've kept myself out of the news loop the past week. I keep hearing talk about some preacher in Florida wanting to burn crayons tomorrow.

What did Crayola ever do to him? Also what business is it of anyone else if he does burn crayons? Especially if the crayons are non-toxic...should be some colorful smoke. I do feel for the kids that want some crayons but might not get them because this guy burns a few boxes. It is back to school time you know, so in that regard it's very insensitive.

But still here in America we've allowed burning of all sorts of things - bras, books, flags...athletes foot.

In short...the whole thing is just childish.

A Gentle Reminder of Things to Remember on 9/11

As you wander through
your daily life, don't
forget the important things
that really matter...

Don't forget that Sean Penn, Angelina Jolie,
and Paris Hilton are worthy of our undivided,
national attention as the newsmakers, but
concern about the subversion of our liberties
and the American Constitution is racist and
fear mongering.

Don't forget the important stuff.

Important things... Things like,

Lindsay Lohan, and how she

is innocent, misunderstood, and
was treated very badly by our
court system.

Important things. Things like, how
Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are
true patriots, who love their country.

The very important things.

Things that matter, like the

Chinese are our friends and

Most Favored Nation Trading

Partner.

Try to Remember that the

United Nations has the interests

of the United States in mind when

soliciting the Congress for more

money. Very important!

Something we ought not to

forget!

Remember that 'Cap and Trade'

is innocent, a great strategy which
will solve the 'Climate Change'
problem (or, whatever it's called
this week) while stimulating our
struggling economy. This is extremely
important to remember!

Remember that we are a

global village now, and that

the U.S.A. has no enemies.

North Korea, Iran, Russia,

China, the Palestinians, and
Hamas offer up support and
good will towards America!

This MUST me remembered!

Move through your life with

no worries. Focus on yourself.

All is well and things are moving

along just fine! Remember this!

While you're focusing on

yourself, try to remember...

Like... Remember the Iraq war?
It was supposed to be a war about oil.
The war is over now. We're in an oil
 glut. Combat has 'officially' ended.
Our president says hostilities have ended,
too! Our soldiers are now safe!

Terrorists are are no

longer terrorists. They're

millitants, insurgents and

freedom fighters. Terrorism

does not exist, we are not

vulnerable to attacks, and
the White House says the

Mexican border is secure

and tight as a drum! Worth

remembering!

Here's something that needs

remembering. Forget all that

other rubbish and remember

the really vital and important

stuff.

For now on, while

you're remembering,

focusing, moving through

life, and trying not to forget;

try to remember that 9/11

happened. We as a

nation have become

complacent all over again,
and it's not "if" it will happen
again... But, "when" it will
happen again; that America
suffers another, perhaps more

devastating attack than
we felt on 9/11.

Remember this....

Support our troops, support
the President by praying that
his eyes are opened, and that
the damage he is doing to our
nation can be undone, when he
and the progressives are thrown
all out of office in 2010, and
2012.



Above all, get out and vote the
next two election cycles. Be
vocal to your representatives,

demanding that they do all they
can do to stop our enemies, both

foreign and domestic. Demand
that they place America first,
above all other nations.

Remember 9/11. Never Forget.

Never become complacent.

The Burning Question This September 11th

Bring thousands of people together in a rally, and it gets ignored because it wasn't millions. But bring together 50 people to send a symbolic message by ceremoniously (or unceremoniously, as the case may be) burning the Quran (Koran, pick a spelling), and the administration and media hone in on it with laser-like focus.

This September 11th, the Dove World Outreach Center -- consisting of Pastor Terry Jones and a congregation of 49 others -- has announced their plan to protest radical Islam by burning the Koran (Quran. Whatever.) And even before the first match has been lit, the reaction has been incendiary. General David Petraeus has warned that the action could endanger our troops. David Axelrod is concerned about the security threat it could provoke. Eric Holder has called the plan "idiotic and dangerous." Hillary Clinton has called it "disrespectful" and "disgraceful." Even Angelina Jolie has weighed in with her regrets, so you know this has to be major news!

Let me be perfectly clear where I stand on this: I think burning books -- any book (or record, or film) -- is just plain stupid and creepy. It doesn't accomplish anything positive, and generally spreads the message contained in the book wider than before. If anything, radical muslims might want to consider thanking the Dove church a few years down the road for helping spread the message of Islam through their actions.

On the other hand, it is just a book. It is pages, pulped from trees, with ink splashed on it. And yes, that goes for the Holy Bible as well. They're published texts. They can (and will) make more. And as I must assume that the congregation of the Dove church went out and bought these Korans (as opposed to going door to door, taking them by force, and clearing the local library shelves in a mob frenzy), I'm sure the publisher's thank them for their contributions, and would gladly sell them twice as many should they wish their next Koran burning to be a larger event next time.

But could I burn a Koran? Sure, it's the sacrosanct text of some idiots who crash planes, set off bombs, and ambush our soldiers. But it's also the holy book of my friend Saidul, and Ramesch, and Saritha. It's the holy book of muslim soldiers serving in the American military. How could I burn a Koran with the caveat, "But it's just meant against those people, not you." That would be like organizing a Bible burning to protest the terrorist activities of the Westboro Baptist Church.

So it's stupid -- but it's also small and inconsequential. At least, it was, until this Gainesville gathering began to be addressed by our own government. Then it became notorious, dangerous, and a threat to national security. Not that I recall any organized Koran burnings prior to the collapse of the World Trade Center, or the crash outside Shanksville, Pennsylvania, or the assault on the Pentagon. I don't think a Koran even got charred before the attack on the USS Cole.

And I'm not sure I've heard any of the aforementioned administration officials (and celebrity) speak out anytime in the past when someone's burned the US flag (except to remind everyone that it's an expression of free speech).

When the government puts all their attention -- or, rather, all our attention -- on something so undeserving of attention at all, I have to wonder: what should we be focused on? What are we being distracted from? Follow the agendas, keep your eyes on the real problems, and don't buy into the hype generated by a roomful of malcontents who, were it not for the government and the media, would have gone largely unnoticed.
