The Church of the Blinding White Light of Stupidity

When I was a young hippy...

I started this rant in Michele's comments and decided to bring it over here and finish it...

Ah... the memories... sleeping in Rock Creek Park... chanting on the mall... standing in the reflecting pool between the Washington and Lincoln monuments, naked, with a Wonderbread bag full of joints, protesting the Vietnam war... drinking wine and smoking pot, feeling all buzzy and superior... screwing with hippy chicks and talking about how we were changing the world as we relaxed in the warm afterglow...

Then waking up to the reeducation camps, the Mekong river jammed with bodies, so many that they floated across the sea to wash up on the shores of the Phillipines... Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge... millions of innocent dead...

I.WAS.WRONG.

I was clueless about how you stop bad people from doing bad things. Kind words and reasoned responses are wasted on sociopaths. You have to kill them to stop them.

Make no mistake, Saddam, et al are certifiably crazy and before you go branding our government with the same diagnoses, have you ever dealt with a paraniod schizophrenic?

Me "Hello."
PS "If you ever say that about my Mom again, I'll kill you!"
Me "Huh?"

All the folks who want an easy way out are welcome to go stand in front of these psycos and hope that makes a difference. They don't have the right to drag me and mine into the path of destruction. I will support turning the middle east into a sea of glass before I will allow the Islamofacists to do the same to us. Just as they refuse to allow Israel the right to exist in any way, shape or form ("We will push the jews into the sea") they will pick at the western world until they destroy us.

This isn't about the oil. It isn't about harmless differences of philosophy between Islamofacists and the western world. If they were Amish we would just walk away.

They are not Amish (No Shit!), they will not stop till the rest of the world is under their thumb, all women are subjugated, everyone prays five time a day while facing Mecca and the local imam calls every tune. They have shown that nothing less will satisfy them.

We Will Kill You
Sung to the tune of "Jesus Loves Me"

We will kill you
that we know
for the Koran tells us so
kill the children in their beds
cause we will not take our meds

Yes, we will kill you
Yes, we will kill you
Yes, we will kill you
The Koran tells us so

So, go be a shield for peace, protest to your hearts content. Wander around in your self-induced buzz of moral superiority, looking down on those armed forces schmucks who will try to make sure that no one kills you.

The defense department buys body bags in lots of a thousand. Please carry proper identification so the graves registration folks can return your remains to your family. It's the decent thing to do.
