Mood: It's a Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Day

[*] posted on 9-12-2012 at 11:54 AM
Fear and Loathing


Having been a Stingray victim and suffered (mild to moderate) pain for a couple of hours or less, my Fear Factor is pretty low in that regard. I do shuffle my feet, though.

As to the DANGER of Islamic Fanatics (in other words, the 90 percent of Muslims), a distinction should be made between Personal and Ecumenical danger.

Living in the (more sparsely-populated) desert and very rarely frequenting ANY place where large numbers would gather, I am not personally concerned about being a victim of the Allah-Babblers assuming one of them at the 7/11 doesn't get up off his rug and go Jihad while I'm picking up the newspaper.

However, as demonstrated from myriad FBI (and other) arrests, there are Islamics busy at work looking for the next Jihad opportunity.

As a consequence, we have put up with a degree of INCONVENIENCE at airports and elsewhere in exchange for a higher degree of safety.

So far, I haven't heard a single instance HERE where the so-called destruction of Civil Liberties has resulted in anything other than inconvenience.

Live with it.

Or, Possibly die without it.

These Folks The Owners Of A Muslim Specialty Store in Houston Did Not Forget


Imam "Ali" Was One Of The Pilots That Flew An Airliner Into A World Trade Center Tower





Yet there are legions of stupid people out there that believe anyone wearing a turban is a fanatical Muslim. Sheiks have no issues with Americans but territorial disputes with Hindu Indians.

I remember to "Be Aware" of racial, cultural or religious hatred. I also remember to personally not tolerate it in any form. September 11, 2001 was not a day that an earthquake, or hurricane struck Manhattan, it is a wakeup call that thousands were sacrificed solely to appease the god of hatred and intolerance. The image above is three years old. My conversation with two Arabs in Santa Rosa in February of this year is not.
