Sean Bell's Real Tragedy

The recent shooting of Sean Bell in New York city outside a strip club in New York does not so much highlight problems with the police, as much as deeper problems in the mentality of inner city African-American culture. This whole issue is a reminder of a similar tragic shooting just before Easter in Cincinnati in 2000 which gained national attention and the same emotion-driven lack of logic on the part of the inner city African-American culture across America.

In that shooting, a 17 year-old black youth with 14 unpaid parking tickets and other violations was being questioned by a rookie cop during a routine traffic violation. The young man panicked and took off running into a dark alley despite commands from the policeman to stop. Instead of doing what any reasonable person would do by actually LISTENING and ACTING UPON the commands of the policeman, the youth, now in the dark alley, appeared to put his hands under his shirt as if to pull out, what? His bellybutton? Yeah, apparently the cop thought so, too. So, naturally, the bellybutton of a black inner-city youth from a drug ridden area of Cincinnati being a weapon of mass destruction gave cause for the cop to shoot him. Of course the cop shot him. Any normal person with right-minded logic would have entertained the thought the possible gang member from the local gang-ridden community was pulling out a gun. The real question is why didn't the youth do what the cop asked in the first place? If it is perfectly natural for an inner-city black youth to run from a cop, then PARENTS, TELL YOUR KIDS NOT TO DO THAT because it might mean their life. Don't blame it on the cops. The responsibility of the death of your children for stupidity, if you didn't teach them otherwise is yours.

Fast forward to the scene outside a New York strip club. Yeah, the great tradition of stupid males who apparently think that a good preparation for marriage is to hire a stripper, go to a strip club, or have sex with a prostitute the night before they are to be married apparently bit our boy Sean Bell and two of his friends in the behind. Tragically, truly tragically, Bell was killed. It's tragic because he was unprepared to meet his Maker. No, it's no "crime" to be outside a strip club, but it sure as heck was a serious sin to be in one--let alone on the night before one is supposed to engage in a lifelong chaste relationship with your only true love. O.K., let's put the obvious aside. Let's look at a more telling fact that more people can agree on: It is a crime to ram a police car, and it is not too smart to use words like "gun" when you are around a cop who is informing you that you are under arrest. Nor is it very bright if you make motions to aggravate the police when they start issuing commands. Apparently, Rodney King, the youth from Cincinnati, and now Sean Bell and two of Bell's friends didn't have enough brains to figure that out. So, Darwin wins again. This is not about race. This is about common sense and the serious lack of it that issues from the inner-city, African-American, gansta-rap culture.

The real tragedy of Bell's death is not that he was shot and killed, but that his life was a rejection of God's love. God will judge him in the totality of who Bell was, complete with the disadvantages he faced growing up, and not being God, it not my place to condemn the poor guy to eternity in Hell, but is the lesson here racism or is it, rather, long overdue that the inner-city hip-hop, gangsta rap culture take a serious look at their culture of death and self-destruction and consider a life of faith in a God who opens his arms, enough to die on a cross of a miserable crucifixion by subjecting himself to the ignorance of Neanderthal punks like Bell and his ilk for love of each one of them?

No race is superior over another, and being a white guy, anyone who makes this post about race is a blind fool. Heaven knows that every race has its Einsteins and its idiots. The caucasian race is chock full of them. Hell, we have a whole world full of them--we call them, "Liberals". Rather, it is that Christianity, and specifically the Catholic faith (1500 years before Luther) highly influenced the caucasian world of western and northern Europe. For all the many human faults of the Church, its best part, that is its Divine influence, brought out the best in humankind. (The wars in the name of Christianity are not at issue here. These were due to the fallen nature of man, not the principles of Christianity if fallen man had followed them. The crusades were brought about by aggressive and violent Muslim incursions into Catholic Europe and the Middle East. Compare Christian principles to the principles of Islam, where Jihad is the method of conversion or death for failure to be of Muslim belief.) When has the African-American community best flourished in the world? When it has embraced Christ who is God of all mankind. Look at Martin of Tours, Peter Claver, Cyprian Michael Tansi, Charles Randolph Uncles who are just a few exmaples of men elevated to Saints or who were pioneers in the Catholic Church. Then, there are the secular examples of men like Jesse Owens, Jackie Robinson, and Martin Luther King, George Washington Carver who, though not Catholic, still embraced Christ.

The inner-city African-American culture of death, led by Malcom X in the 1960's, argues that Christianity is not an authentically black religion. Well, heck, Malcolm, Jesus wasn't white either you ignoramus. He was a Middle-Eastern Jew--probably olive skinned. White people have no more claim to Christianity than any other race on the planet. Most of white Europe embraced it as an alien faith. The premises of Malcolm X's argument is false. As a result, he and those who follow his thinking, set back the inner-city black community 40 years in their social development. All the government programs in the world won't solve it either. Mr. Obama, our fraudulently elected President, hasn't either. It is not until a majority of inner-city African-American's make the personal decision to embrace the God who loves them and finds their self-worth in Christ who died for them that any change will ever occur in that community. Screaming and rioting may rattle some cages, but how has the Watts district in L.A. ever changed in the 40 years since the riots of the 60's? Not one iota. In fact, the problems are worse.

No, until the African-American community turns toward the light of Christ authentically given to the world through Jesus' chosen apostles and their true successors, that is, the Pope and the bishops of the Catholic Church today, there
will continue to be tragedies like Sean Bell.

An Open Letter the Iranian Government

Dear Iranian President and Officials,

Thank you for sending the American People your letter. Here is our response: POUND SAND. You ought to be glad we don't nuke you to kingdom come. Our President may be restrained by the liberal idiots in our country from nuking you off the planet, but you ought to be grateful that citizens like me are not in charge, because we wouldn't care. Quite frankly, your way of government stinks. No, I take that back, it sucks. Don't you EVER try to pull the crap here in our community that you do in Baghdad and the rest of Iraq and the rest of world. We won't be restrained by our goverment. We won't care. That's a dangerous thing for you, my friends. So, sit in your little opium dens, rape your little boys, and have Ali Babi do a little dance around you while you plot your next attack, and be warned. Jerks. End of letter.

Sincerely,

The American People

Choices

This past baseball season had me wanting to purchase a jersey of my favorite team, the Yankees. Not knowing at the time anything of the baseball jersey market, I figured I'd be spending maybe $19.99 tops for a cotton pinstripe thing with the NY logo superimposed over the left breast and maybe I'd have a number "4" for Lou Gehrig put on the back. After all, its just a shirt worn today, stained by ketchup and tossed into Goodwill tomorrow. Silly me.

So, I turned where every would-be bargain hunter turns today to find what he or she is looking for, the internet. E-bay, being a pain in the rear to use, and a site that blasphemed my Catholic faith and my Lord, Jesus Christ when they allowed some Satan-driven nut job to sell a consecrated host, pretty much permanently turned me away from ever using them again. So, I began looking at all the other options: Shopzilla, Yahoo Shopping, BizRate, you name it. 69 to 79 bucks, for a piece of clothing, and they were the cheap ones. To my surprise, they even had Lou Gehrig Jerseys--for only $199! What a bargain! (Don't you love that. Like the shopper is some kind of idiot. OK, I take it back, many are.) Only (x exorbitant sum)! Sheesh.

Then I couldn't find anything in 100% cotton or even flannel which is what I wanted. Like Lou Gehrig wore a 100% polyester baseball jersey in 1926. "Authentic Throwback Jersey. 100% Polyester." No, you idiots at Majestic. "Throwback" means a 100% flannel jersey without a name on the back because there were no names on the back in 1929. Prior to that, there weren't even numbers! So, now I have to spend half my monthly paycheck on material I don't want. Only $299. For a shirt with a name and a number on the back. The real question is why can they charge this much? Because selfish idiots (and being largely liberal, New York and New Jersey are filled with them) are dumb enough to buy it. In good conscience, I couldn't buy one of these jerseys for more than $19.99. In reality, even that is too much. I think of people who cannot even afford tonight's dinner and something becomes very wrong with our spending habits.

George Bush is supposedly out of touch with America. The only reason he is out of touch is because to his credit, he is blissfully naive enough, as a President should be, to presume the best of the people of our nation, and the best means that we have some semblance left of Christian conscience which can discern moral right from moral wrong, something that at least 51% of Amerca can no longer do. Yes. President Bush, who comes from a Christian perpective is out of touch with America because America is very out of touch with what is truly real. Bush's real crime is that he is a Christian and is not ashamed to profess it. That is the real reason the liberal and corrupt media hates him. That is the real reason 51% of America hates him. We live in an electronic world of entertainment and video stimulation driven by greed and profit and everything that is opposed to Christ. American Idol is the motivation for our youth because to be a corrupt, aimless actor who goes around inbreeding Hollywood means fame and fortune. Like this is reality. Yeah, "Idol" is the right word.

In the 16th chapter of the Gospel of St. Luke, Jesus tells a story of a poor beggar named Lazarus and a rich man which Roman tradition calls Dives (which is Latin for "Rich"). In the story, Lazarus spends his old age penniless begging at the gates of the house of Dives who eats and drinks his life away, entertaining his friends in his rich home. Lazarus longs for the scraps that Dives feeds to his dog. In the end both die. Lazarus winds up consoled and at rest in the bosom of Abraham. Dives goes to a place of torment, presumably Hell. Dives looks afar off and sees Lazarus at the bosom of Abraham and asks Father Abraham to send Lazarus to him for at least a drop of water to quench his burning thirst. Father Abraham explains he cannot because there is a great gap between the two places and no one can cross from one to the other. Dives then asks Father Abraham to at least warn his sinful brothers that they don't end up where he is. Father Abraham explains that they have the writings of Moses and the prophets to warn them, but Dives protests saying "No, Father Abraham, if only someone would go to them from the dead then they would listen," but Father Abraham tells them that if they refuse to listen to Moses and the prophets, even someone going back to them from the dead to warn them will do them no good.

The lesson of this story is that Dives doesn't wind up in Hell because he's a bad guy. After all, he wined and dined his friends and opened his house to them, right? The reason he is condemned, very gently and lovingly I might add (he's never yelled at or belittled by his Maker--that's what we sinful, if not frustrated, Christians wrongfully do in God's name all the time), is because he never thinks to lift a finger for Lazarus. He never goes outside of his own little world to think that maybe there are other people he can help. That maybe the gift that God created him with to be able to make money was not meant to be used for himself but to help those who don't have the same gifts and cannot fend well for themselves or their families. He is condemned because he stuck his head in the sand of his own little world and refused to look about him. Sounds like a lot of people I know today. Jesus said the path to condemnation is wide and many there are who travel it. He urges, not demands, but urges us, for our sake, to take the "road less traveled." We would be wise to follow it. We don't have time on this planet to be distracted by snakecharmers like Dan Brown. People like Brown won't escape the fate of Dives for leading astray thousands of souls from a faith they might have otherwise had unless they reconcile themselves to God for their terrible errors. Sadly, Brown has probably already lost the grace of repentance forever, but most of us can still acknowledge our sinful selves and turn to God because he isn't done with us yet.

God offers grace and we need to jump on it while the offer is hot. If we reject him, he allows us that choice. Choice is a terrible thing in a universe where God's most supreme law is that of Free Will. We can choose hell if we wish. He won't stop us if we insist. Most people hate Christianity because they think it is about condemnation. It's not. It is about salvation. Additionally, there have been many Christians in history, both Catholic and Protestant, who really have given bad witness to Christ. This is not God's fault and its not the Catholic Church's fault, at least not in her divine ideal. It is our fallen nature's fault. But fallen man is too dull to see that either. In the end, it is not God who condemns us. It is we who have made the free choice to turn completely from him. It is we who condemn ourselves. We tell God "no", by our choices and actions. What is God supposed to do, twist our arms and make us love him? No, the alternative is to be away from him. So, in his mercy, God created a place where his love does not exist. That place is a place of torment because without God, there is no love. There are only people like Dives who never think to think of anyone but themselves. There are angels like that, too. Unfortunately, they are a bad tempered lot with greater ability to hate and they rule us because in Hell, they are the stronger and the fitter.

God has given us a free will. We can use it however we wish. God is pro-choice, but not in the selfish abortion sense that slogan is bandied about today. We have free choice to buy exorbitantly priced goods, especially in the season of Christmas. We have the free choice to abort our babies because of the selfishness and lack of thougtfulness before we selfishly decided to use someone else and have sex (or in the very rare case that Roe v. Wade was wrongfully, if not originally intended for, we were too selfish to give our innocent baby conceived in a rape up for adoption). We have the free choice to allow ourselves to be sankecharmed by David Letterman, Jay Leno, and American Idol. We have the free choice to vote for those who turn all that is truly good and right upside down and have the gall to call it "good" and "morally right" when it is nothing but immoral filth. Be careful of free choices, lest Dives's fate becomes ours.

Selling Out the Troops

With the change in Congress, we can expect a 2008 Democrat victory in the White House and the consequential increase of moral disaster in America--like it is not already bad enough--and political disaster in Iraq to follow. It's looming large on the horizon already. Even Iran is afraid we are pulling out too soon. Well, maybe for the best, eh? Let 'em kill each other and let Allah sort 'em out, right 51% America? Hell, with all the sacrifice you put into watching the evening news, its about time we got out of there.

Of course, L.A.M.E. (the Liberal American Media Elite) and L.I.E. (the Liberal Intellectual Elite) will spin it into a great success for the democrats, pinning all blame on President Bush and the previous Congress. Many will look at Iraq now and claim it is already a disaster. Well, 51% America, you ain't seen nuthin' yet. Wait until we start pulling out. Think back to Vietnam. That country may seem peaceful, now, but underneath its communist facade those people have no freedom to even explore the possibility of the profound goodness in Jesus Christ, and those who do are tortured and persecuted. This is a dirty little secret both here and in China that L.A.M.E. will never report. Of course, this would be just fine for people like Dan Brown and all who were gullible enough to buy his tripe in The Da Vinci Code, (people believe what they want to believe) but my personal experience of faith tells a very different story. I know the reality of Christ. I've watched a thousand little miracles in my life that I can't otherwise explain. I don't even question it. When they happen, I just smile and say, "Thanks, Lord. You are so good to me, and I don't even deserve it." My prayers, are usually answered in the affirmative. Just keep in mind that with prayer, sometimes the answer is "no", and you can't kick and scream like a whiny brat when it is. Also, if you are not willing to take "no" as an answer from the Almighty, he won't answer your next prayer either. He knows what's best for us. He created us, but this is matter for another post.

Vietnam became a killing ground. Remember the "boat people"? Remember Pol Pot in Cambodia? What do you think that was about? Our pullout. Our caving to L.A.M.E. and 51% America. Remember the Kurds after we pulled out of Iraq in 1991 instead of taking out Hussein then? So stand by for the same in Iraq. In the immortal words of Ross Perot, a troop pullout will create a giant sucking sound which will be the power vaccuum. Every penny ante wannabe control freak powermonger will try to fill the void and the innocent will be the victims. Half the tribal leadership will try to seize power. The rest will be male radical fundamentalist Muslims blowing up everyone on every street corner in protest of whatever it is they protest.

The problem with our beleagured President is that he and the G.O.P. Congress allowed the L.I.E. to dictate the rules of engagement in Iraq. In his Nov 13th broadcast, Rush Limbaugh pointed out that Janet "El" Reno didn't give a crap about answering the mail when she gave authority to burn out David Koresh and kill 23 innocent children. Did she resign? Hell, no. Or how about sending in the FBI to kidnap a little 8 year old (cf. Elian Gonzalez) in order to deport him back to Cuba? Wow, now there was a threat to be reckoned with, eh? If that wasn't an embarrassing waste of tax dollars, I don't know what was. Why did she get away with this? The same reason FDR got away with firebombing Germany and Japan, because he was a democrat and the press does not hold democrats responsible for ANYTHING, and never did. Name me one example in history where a democrat was grilled by the press for something he or she did wrong. I defy you. Can you imagine what would happen if the Monica Lewinsky disgrace happened to a Republican President? Hell, it would STILL be on the front page of USA Today. What the GOP should have done was take charge and stop pussy footing around with the press. The hell with embeds. Bush should have ordered strict censorship and media blackout like George H. did in the Gulf War, and prosectued any reporter or closed any newspaper that printed unauthorized stories fed them by terrorists---with armed force if necessary.

OK, now you've got me started. What this country really needs is an enema starting with the press and the media. In the 1960's, Hollywood lost control of itself. It threw out the decency laws and they began spewing filth on national television and in the theaters. What conservatives need to do at this point is leave NYC, Chicago, Massoftuschitts, LA, Denver, and Hollywonk and move to the open plains. Then drop nukes on the remaining trash who refuse to see truth and start from scratch. Really. Nothing would be the worse for the wear. The places are a mess anyway. Oh, liberal hypocrite like Rosie O'Donnell, don't get all up on your high horse about labeling me a "dangerous Christian conservative extremist". You spew more hate speech and foment in two sentences talking about people like me than Rush has in 20 years of the EIB Network. You know damn well that the only people in America who do not enjoy protection from hate speech are Christian conservatives.

Here's what is really amazing: the people who live in these high tax states like Massoftuschitts, New York, California, New Jersey, Illinois and Wisconsin have no clue that anything is wrong there. They go about giving half their income or more to the state and federal government thinking, "doesn't everybody?" This is because they are so myopic and clannish they never travel outside the mile radius of their neighborhood. So, the average Joe Liberal is completely clueless that states like Missouri and Ohio are not paying $3.00 a gallon for gasoline right now. Here's the kicker. They live in the misery of cities occupied by liberal democrat politicians that they have been electing for twenty or thirty years or more, yet, they don't see that the liberal democrats are the reason for the corruption in their cities. WELL IT AIN'T THE CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS, you idiots! You haven't elected one in your miserable excuse for a city in 50 years. But, of course, it's all George Bush's fault. The Libs have told us so. Now, its time for a change. Like every election. Now, it'll be different. Yep.

Well, I just want to thank 51% of America for sellling out the troops, myself included. Thanks for wasting our sacrifice, just like you did in Vietnam. Thanks for not having the guts and spine to stick it out until it was finished. Thanks for selling out the friends we made in Iraq. What did you lose 51% America? Your son wasn't there. You didn't make any sacrifices. It was us, but because you couldn't take watching the sacrifices we were making for you, you sold us out. Feeling guilty? Thanks. Thanks for nothing. I hope you can sleep well now. Thank God for God. At least someone someday will show you your sins, and you won't be able to stick your head in the sand and pretend he doesn't exist. May God forgive me for my poor attitude. "Place not your trust in princes or in men..."

A Post Election Rant (If you voted Democrat, this Blog's For You!)

Hey America! Wake up your sleepy heads, rub your eyes! Get out of bed! George Bush, the Wicked Witch, is Dead! Or not, but good enough for government work, eh? A little impeachment here, a little indictment there. Nancy, Barb, Hillary, and Clare will be sure to trump up those charges in the next six months or so "in the spirit of bi-partisanship," because Clare McCaskill, for one, is "on OUR side". I guess that would be 51% of America's side.

OK, enough sarcasm for now, plenty of space for that later. Let's move on. Time for your history lesson, America! Up and at 'em! Eat your Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs, grab your comic books, and come to school. There's LOTS of learning to do today and being the eager open-minded liberals that you are I know you are just dying to learn some wonderful things in cyberspace today!

Your Lesson for the Day: Vietnam, Iraq, and the Liberal Media

Now that fickle and media-mislead America (that would be a blistering 51% of you--this year) have given their precious Democrats the power that they have professed as their birthright in America's political machine, we can watch to see just how marvelous they will handle the nation and its involvement in Iraq. Of course, any bumbling will be blamed on our embattled and beleagured President, aided, of course, by the omni-present, Almighty Liberal Media --The god of the American People.

(Oh, by the way, amazing how strangely silent it is after this election. No whining and crying about stealing elections or disenfranchised, unregistered voters, or counts and recounts, despite scores of races and issues that were decided by less than 1% margin and despite major problems with voters being turned away in Missouri for lack of ballots in Republican counties. Just wanted to point that out.)

As a two tour veteran of Iraq, I feel I have earned my right to tell the American Media and anyone who fell prey to their negative image-making of President Bush and so took it out on us troops by electing irresponsible, self-serving, liberal snots to the nation's highest offices to go to hell. And post haste, too (James Webb in VA excluded. Being a good man, he'll eventually see the light.) Not that eternity in Hell would make their lives any less confused, corrupt, and immoral than they already are... or is Hell simply a continuation of the poor choices we've made and our turning away from the offer of God's love for us resulting in our misery on earth? Hmmmm....

Liberal Hypocrisy 101.
There is so much to say about this one I will save it for another time. Or not, but at least allow me to lay out a short illustration or two. Someone please tell me how does the sneaking of a few democrat political documents out of a hotel room (i.e., Nixon and Watergate) compare to ex-NSA chief Sandy Berger's (Sandy Burgler's?) sneaking of TOP SECRET documents out of the national archives and shoving them down his pants so no one notices? Oh, it's OK, it's Sandy. Bill "I never had sex with that woman" (under my Oval office desk while ducking phone calls about Bin Laden) Clinton was your boss and you are his protected minion. No, in our profound Mercy, we, the Media God forgive you. But, YOU, Mr. Nixon, you had evil people steal REALLY important Democrat political strategy papers from a trash can in a HOTEL room! YOU are an evil, EVIL crook deserving impeachment, hellfire and damnation for all political eternity! And YOU Mr. Foley, you had a consenting young gay man write you back on your government e-mail. For SHAME! I'm afraid YOU must die a fiery death in political historical hell, too. BUT, dear, kindly, President Mr. Bill Clinton.... awww, well, gee, nobody cares if YOU showed young, luvstruck Monica Lewinsky a little southern hospitality under your oval office desk and completely disgraced your office. Why, heck, it's nothing any good 'ol boy from Arkansas wouldn't do behind the tobacco barn on a warm spring day. Why, how do you think little Democrats are bred? We'll just let that little slip up go unnoticed, after all, we have that little spouse of yours to elect as FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT in 2008. And speaking of you, dearest Hillary... Oh, you naughty little girl, taking that 8 million in proceeds for your book in some illegal fashion or other. Hey, you shouldn't do that. You might spoil your chances for the glory we wish to bestow upon your beloved and honorable name. But, YOU, Mr. Newt Gingrich, you, TOO, took proceed monies from a book while YOU were in office as Mr. Speaker, and YOU will spend the REST of YOUR LIFE in political historical hell, where you will rot forever and ever! Oh, soooo sorry.

So, class, what have we learned today thus far? If you are a Democrat, the Liberal Media will protect you no matter HOW morally corrupt you are, but if you are a Republican, you will be dragged through the mud and occupy our headlines until all the real news that exposes liberalism for the moral disaster that it is passes into oblivion. (Like the U.N. passing out condoms instead of real medicine and food to starving Somalians during Clinton's presidency. Or the bombing of innocent civilians by U.N. forces--Clinton Presidency. Giving away Nuclear secrets to China and North Korea--Bill Clinton, again, and the brilliant, if not incredibly stupid policies of Madeleine Notbright--but of course, it is Bush's fault North Korea miraculously developed Nuclear technology this year all by themselves.) Class dismissed. Next period....

2nd Period. History 101.
Flashback, Vietnam. 1968. Hey, America, if you don't study and apply yourselves, you might end up in Iraq.... duhhh... or was that Vietnam? Hey, class, did it ever dawn on you that it wasn't President Nixon who got us into Vietnam? Let's think back to the BEGINNING of our involvement there. Who was in office? No, it wasn't Richard Nixon. He lost that election to your darling, John F. Kennedy. Yes, the American Camelot Prince himself. A democrat. Perhaps he was not so nearly insanely liberal as Nancy "My-Noble-Agenda-While-I-am-Speaker-is-to-Impeach-Bush" Pelosi or Barbara Boxer Shorts, or Hillary I've-Just-Gotta-Be-the-First-Female-President-or- I'll-Die Clinton, but liberal enough for his time. Then, Democrat, Lyndon Johnson, yes, that's President Lyndon Johnson, (did I mention he was a Democrat? Yes. He was a DEMOCRAT) got us in deeper, dictating policy from his desk far away on a communist enemy who played him like piano. Then, BECAUSE a Republican robbed the left of its political birthright (enter Richard Nixon, 1968, whose only real crime was the stupidity of getting himself elected in late 1960's America) well, that just couldn't stand. So, for the next six years the Liberal Intellectual Elite (L.I.E.) did everything in their power to lose the war for America, aided once again by the sheeple of America's god, their Almighty Advocate and powerbrokers, the Liberal American Media Elite (L.A.M.E.), which exploited every moral, tactical, or strategic blunder (committed, oh, by the way, in all wars by both sides) all over American television sets and liberal newspapers in the nation, all to cast aspersions upon the Republican in the Oval Office. In the meanwhile, L.I.E., i.e., the New England, New York, and California Snot that pulls the strings of the Liberal Media, and that era's version of the George Soros' and Michael Moore's of the world, the same oh-so munificent souls who sprinkle their excess pennies upon the less fortunate and, who having led these poor, wretched souls to the slaughter pens of the moral filth they peddle, never give a sheet of soiled toilet paper for the soldier on the ground who was devastingly demoralized by their country's lack of support, and who gleefully played "innocently" into the hands of Mr. Giap's strategy.

(Think I'm full of it? Click here:


Ho Chi Minh and, later, General Vo Nguyen Giap, were no idiots. They knew the key to their success was the American media's persuasion of our nation against the war. All the Vietnamese had to do to win was live in their country and thwart America's willpower at home. They knew it wasn't General Westmoreland's operational plan, but America's weak will that only need be exploited. With traitors like John Kerry, Jane Fonda, and the American Media on their side, it was a simple game of agitate and wait back in the Nam. Thanks to the lack of willpower by cowardly U.S. college studentry who stood no chance of getting drafted anyway for their student deferments, forced us to abandon the rest of the people of South Vietnam and left us the killing fields, so that some L.A.M.E. producer could pretend to wring his hands in agony over his guilt while making a few million dollars on a movie about it to boot.

Any student of military strategy knows that to win in assymetric war, control and exploitation of the media must occur. Being communist, it wasn't hard for the poor, persecuted, and still smarting communist media types still smarting from Joe McCarthy who gave them a tiny smattering of what they had been doling out throughout the entire history of their miserable collective existence to aid and abet old Uncle Ho. Sun Tzu, whose playbook Ho Chi Minh followed, writes in his famous treatise, The Art of War, and I loosely paraphrase, that the mark of a true warrior is to be able to win a war without ever bearing an arm. The smartest way to win a war is to outmaneuver your opponent without having to fire a shot. It's cheap. Nothing is lost, and you've gained everything. It is not brawn that wins. It is brains. Assymetric warfare is fought by using ALL elements necessary to weaken the will of your opponent. Media is one of the biggest tools of exploitation in Assymetric warfare, but our own American Media won't let us use it to win in Iraq. Yes, L.A.M.E. will let terrorist thugs use it even to the point of lulling vapid airheads like Cindy Sheehan into believing they are the "good" guys. He who controls the media, can shape the masses by sheer impression and perception. It can probably be argued that the reason we won World War II was because a Democrat was in power. L.I.E. and L.A.M.E. saw to it that they cooperated with FDR's unprecedented censorship of the press to protect American lives ( if not shape post-war Europe into a communist Disneyland). Nor did L.A.M.E. ever fire a single rhetorical volley when FDR decided to run for two extra terms in office, "because we need to keep the nation unified under one commander-in-chief." After all, we ALL wanted to elect him. (That wasn't the story my WWII veteran father told me). Could you imagine, if George Bush were to just up and run for a third term under the same argument? The Sinful Hypocrites of the American Media Elite (SHAME) would scream bloody murder DEMANDING he be tossed from office, and it would take Barbara Boxer Shorts, Nancy "Impeach Bush" Pelosi and Clare, The-Only-Reason-I'm-In-Office-is-to-Hold-George-Bush-Accountable, McAsskill an Angry Hillary minute to do so.

So, here's the final ironic tragedy of Vietnam, class. Two noted OSS officers, one by the name of Maj Gen. William "Wild Bill" Donovan and Major Archimedes L. A. Patti, advising in Indochina (that's post-WWII Vietnam for the geographically challenged) at the end of WWII advised Harry S. Truman, another DEMOCRAT, that "if we (the U.S.) did not help Ho Chi Minh now, we will have to fight him later." We didn't and so we did. "Uncle Ho" ran to Communist Russia for help. (He didn't want help from Communist China at that time, although later they reconciled their traditional political differences). All Ho wanted was a war torn colonized people to be united as a sovereign nation. He didn't care WHO helped him. He didn't care what form of government it took. He just wanted a united people to be a nation. So, DEMOCRAT Truman, blows it for America and Democracy by marginalizing the funny little Asian from who knows where and his nobody-cares-about-it problems. In 20 years we were there, fighting Uncle Ho and his minions. In eleven years, 58,000 Americans and only God knows how many Vietnamese would die for a result that could have been resolved by a little politcal savvy paid to Uncle Ho by President Truman. Now Communist Vietnam continues to persecute those who desire to seek religious freedom, especially in the Catholic Church which exists underground therein.

Flash Forward. Iraq, 2006.
Hey America, you either still haven't figured it out or you are too fat, dumb, and happy to care, but listen up, ARMS DON'T WIN WARS, WILLPOWER DOES. IT'S THE WILLPOWER OF A NATION THAT WINS OR LOSES ITS COUNTRY'S WARS. National will brings about funding and support. If we lose in Iraq, it is YOU who lost it. YOU who will have wasted our lives, NOT President Bush. YOU who should be ashamed of your treachery to your own nation. President Bush and Donald Rumsfeld set a course in Iraq. Is it perfect? No, but I am sure the media's ability to monday-morning quaterback will find the sure solution, won't it? You want us to pull out? Stupidity and folly. Strike that. Extraordinary idiocy---or extraordinary selfishness that goes beyond evil.

Flashback, Northern Iraq, December 1991. The setting, post Gulf War Iraq.
George H. Bush listens to Colin Powell and pulls out of Iraq without toppling Hussein's corrupt government. Who's left holding the bag? The Kurds. Hussein gasses them, sprays them, and begins a campaign of genocide against them while they huddle homeless and shelterless in the bitter cold of a northern Iraq winter. Today, a young Marine whom I had the honor to meet, a comrade in arms, one of the Kurdish child suvivors in that nightmare still scarred by chemical muntions he barely survived, teaches U.S. Marines Iraqi culture and language classes.

Just what do you think will happen when we pull out of Iraq dear liberal sheeple of 51% America? Or don't you really give a rat's behind because you are too selfish to care about anything but your nails or your toxic drug prescriptions? When you've actually been there and made friends with these people, you don't hang them out to dry. Well, maybe YOU do. Maybe George Soros does. Maybe Nancy Pelosi does. Maybe Clare McCaskill does. Maybe John Kerry does, just like he undermined America's effort in Vietnam and left us to abandon the peaceful Montagnaard's who only wanted to be left alone, but who were forced into the war and who in the end, were genocidally slaughtered by the communist pigs in Vietnam once the Democrat Congress cut funding to the effort caving to the American media and forced us out of there before the job was done. O.K., I'll tell you what will happen. I'll make this easy for you: Iraq will fall into chaos for about ten years. Then, either Iran will take them over or another strongman dictator, like Saddam Hussein reincarnated, will take power and nothing will have been gained or changed from pre-9-11 Iraq. Innocent people there will be the victims of the ensuing slaughter while you rest comfortably in your selfish life. THAT's what will happen. You will blame it on Bush's War, but in the end, it'll be YOUR fault because you were too stupid to think about anyone but yourself or to strive for moral goodness in your life.

Well, school's out for today, America. Go home and feel good about yourselves. Forget everything you learned today for tomorrow's another day! And don't forget, nothing that happens today will be remembered tomorrow. Unless of course, it is a Republican who makes the boo-boo.
