"Moderate Muslims"

I've been hearing the term "moderate Muslims" since about 9/12/2001 and I still don't know what that means, or if there really is such a thing. The Muslims that were dancing in the streets that day, celebrating the events of the day before, but had no physical part in doing it, are they "moderate Muslims?" Muslims that DEMAND Sharia law instead of OUR law--in OUR OWN COUNTRY--are they "moderate Muslims?" Muslims that go to mosque and listen to the radical rants of America-hating Imams, much like Nobama listened to the not-so Reverend Wright for 20 years, are they "moderate Muslims?" Muslim women who DEMAND that they be entitled to hide their faces on their driving licences, Muslim taxi drivers that refuse to allow dogs in their cabs, Muslim store and restaurant workers that absolutely refuse to come within 1000 ft of pork products, but DEMAND to be hired by these establishments, are these more examples of "moderate Muslims?"

I suppose that we are to believe that the mosque being built at the World Trade Center is being paid for, supported, and promoted only by "moderate Muslims?" That mosque isn't an assault on us, it is not meant to be "salt in the wounds", oh no, it is meant to "heal" the divisions between the faiths. It is a community center for everybody to use. It is a "gift" to all New Yorkers. Anyone believing that truck full of shit, please call me. I have a beautiful bridge to sell you.

OK, so now, if there are any REAL "moderate Muslims" out there, how do they go about proving to us skeptics that they exist? FIRST, and this point is absolutely non-negotiable, you MUST DENOUNCE the portions of your Koran and any other rules you live by that have anything to do with killing non-Muslims. How anyone can call Islam a religion is beyond my comprehension. No legitimate religion calls for murdering innocents just because they believe in a different religion. Pull those pages out and BURN them. Have the balls to promote changing the archaic crap that is holding you in the 13th and 14th centuries.

If you plan on living in the United States of America, you MUST abide by OUR laws, not by that crap you call sharia. Again, this point is non-negotiable! You might as well face it, we believe that women are equal to men. They deserve to be treated like humans, and you WILL treat them like humans here. No stoning and no "honor killings" will be tolerated. Those burkas HAVE to go! Women who might actually want to wear them can wear them inside the mosques or their homes, maybe on their porch, but NOT while driving, and NOT in public places. This is a public safety issue. People robbing banks wear a mask, not law-abiding citizens.

If your religious beliefs won't allow you to fulfill ALL of the duties of a job, don't apply for that job--pretty damned simple!! If you don't want to touch pork, stay away from the butcher shop! If you're going to drive a taxi, plan on picking up anyone who flags you down for a ride, and that includes their pets! Oh ya, and good luck landing a job that will allow you to schedule in 5 prayer calls a day. Get over it! If you think you absolutely have to have a prayer blanket and a foot bath, you better plan on carrying them with you because I do NOT pay taxes just to cater to your religious requirements. We can't put up Christmas displays on publicly owned land anymore, so you can BE SURE that there will be no footbaths on public land either!

Learn and USE the English language!! I will assume you are talking about me or planning a terrorist act if I hear you talking anything else. Speaking OUR language is the first step in assimilating into OUR country. If this is not in your plans, go back to whatever shit-hole third world country you came from!!!!!

September 11th, the 10th Anniversary

I first published this post 3 years ago on the seventh anniversary of that horrendous day and every word is still just as true today as it was then, so I decided to re-post it. Hey, call me lazy, but I can't come up with any better words than I did back then.

As we remember September 11, 2001, we should take the time to reflect on just what happened that day. Four United States aircraft crashed. Two buildings were completely destroyed and several others were damaged in New York. One building was extensively damaged in Washington. A field in Pennslyvania claimed the forth plane. Over three thousand innocent civilians died. Countless heros emerged. Americans everywhere cried.

It's seven (ten) years later and most people seem to have completely forgotten that horrific day. Pearl Harbor brings back more vivid memories, and that was over 60 years ago! What in Hell happened America? Where did all the anger, disgust, and outrage go? I'm still MAD AS HELL! Don't forget. Don't let go of your anger. Remember the feelings you had that day and don't let go of them!

What REALLY happened that day? Radical Islamic terrorists attacked us ON OUR OWN SOIL! This was not their first attack on us by any means, and it won't be the last. We have managed to contain the fighting away from our own soil, for now. We must let our military and our secret services do their jobs. If being rougher than some people like on prisoners gets information that saves just one American life, then I say "go for it!" If racial profiling nabs just one terrorist before he blows up another plane or bus or whatever, then I say "go for it!" If wire tapping our telephone calls catches just one terrorist plot to kill Americans, then I say "GO FOR IT!"

Americans, in fact, the world had better get used to "the war on terror." Anyone who thinks that when we're done in Iraq and Afghanistan, that the world will be free of terror---THINK AGAIN! They are just the beginning. I hope that my children or at least my grandchildren will see the end of terrorist reigns, but I know that I will not. How long have we been fighting cancer? That's what terrorism is, just one more form of cancer.

May the innocent victims that were brutally killed that day be resting in Heaven while the people that carried out, planned, or in any way had a part in these murderous, despicable acts, be still and forever more BURNING in Hell! May the passing of 10 years have eased the grief of those left behind. May God bless them and watch over them, and may He bless the U.S.A.

Drug Testing

How many of you recognize this container? For those that don't, it is a "bottle" that is used to piss in for a drug test. Millions of Americans, myself included, have gone through this process to prove our abstinence from drug use. In my case, I have had to undergo this dehumanizing experience close to 100 times. As a construction worker who went from job to job and employer to employer for years, it was usually a mandatory part of applying for a job. Many jobs also did random testing as well as another mandatory test if any accident or injury occurred, no matter how small. Any one on or near that particular crew would be brought right down for a test. I always figured it was a necessary evil that I could bear to get a good paying job, and besides, it helped keep me and my coworkers safer by ensuring that we weren't working on dangerous jobs next to someone who was incapacitated by drugs.



Why am I telling this story? Let me get right to the point. If I had to undergo this treatment to earn a decent living, why in the world should I quietly sit back and let the government dole out my hard earned cash, IE taxes, to drug addicts and drunks without even making them go through the same thing. I am going to start a campaign in my state, New Hampshire, to correct this situation, and I would encourage you the reader to do the same in your state. Anyone that gets any kind of government assistance that is paid for with tax dollars should have mandatory drug testing to get on, and stay on the program. This is NOT stepping on their constitutional rights! To not do so IS stepping on mine! I am sick and tired of supporting some derelicts drinking and drug habits and I am DONE being quiet about it!
