I promise, I won’t rant about this one. Just promise me you will go and read it.

Thank you.

May God bless and protect you and your family.

I noticed that there have been over 4000 attacks by members of The Religion of Peace since 9/11 (as of 1/10/06). I noticed there is a screaming lack of notice from the MSM about this particular “milestone” – especially since they seem to be very concerned about milestones.

Oh, wait – that’s only if the milestone make the US or, more specifically, the leadership of the US, look bad.

I still think the actions of the Muslim Sympathetic Media should be considered treason. Of couse, according to the Liberal Leaning Left, I am wrong – it is simply the First Amendment being implemented. I’ll tell you what – when the use of the First Amendment emboldens our sworn enemies, then it is treason.

If you still don’t think we have sworn enemies, you are not paying attention. There are people in the world who, even if we were to retreat to our own borders, would still attack us because we have freedoms, because we don’t desire to see the rise of the Caliphate, because we allow our women to wander around unaccompanied and free to pursue their own happiness.

These people are emboldened and even encouraged every time they see an article in our First Amendment protected newspapers about how a vocal minority thinks we should not be fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan.

These people need to be stopped completely, because they are sworn to continue attacking until the last breath of their last proponent is drawn.

Men and women of the armed forces of the United States, I pass on to you that which was passed on to me a long time ago: Let the other guy be a Hero for his cause – and accelerate that goal with your superior firepower.

May God protect and bless you all.

It seems that there are different types of blogs on the net.

Some are very active, “this is the only thing I do all day” blogs, where the content is always fresh – to the point of being updated every time you click on the refresh button. One example of this is Little Green Footballs, link is on the left column.

Some are kind of active, being updated two or three times a week, such as the BLOG or Waiter Rant.

Some, like mine, get updated when time and material mesh and a new entry is keyed in.

Some get listed on my blog and never update again. I am sure that if you have explored my links you have discovered which ones these are. This is my curse. I find a blog that I am interested in, and it seems that is a better than 50% chance that the author will fall off the earth right after I list them.

What should I do with links to blogs that don’t seem to update? Should I try to track down the owner and see if there is a next of kin? Should I simply de-list them? Or should I keep them linked, in the hopes that they will eventually update? I know – I could market and sell this as a service – want someone to disappear? Let me know what there link is – I will list it, and there’s a good chance they won’t ever be heard from again… (this probably won’t work on Liberal blogs; they mostly seem to be the “I don’t have any other life activities” types of blogs)

Speaking of links – if you link to my blog, would you please drop me a line, so I can be sure I am returning the favor? That is, if you want to take the chance…

Here’s hoping your Christmas was reverant, your New Year is starting out Happy, and all in all you are doing well.

I know this is kind of dated, but it’s still a good read.

Actually, since we are still wating on any Muslim apology for the actions of the few, it is still timely.

How to ensure a spot in my heart for you:

1) Cross the street in the middle of the block. At night. Wearing dark clothing.
2) Hit a dog and don’t slow down – weave a bit; the dog will eventually roll free.
3) Explode in a rage of fury – cursing and flailing, in the middle of a department store – at your 1 year old child.
4) Wear clothing that would be considered perfect – by a stripper in the middle of her act.
5) Or that would look too big on an elephant.
6) Communicate using words and phrases that only you understand, since you made them up this morning, and then get upset because I can’t tell you where the frizzle frazzle is jizzle.
7) Communicate using obscene language, especially the “F” bomb every other word.
8) Communicate in the language from your home country, get upset when no one is able to communicate back, and then raise such a stink that the entire government capitulates and starts publishing everything in your language. You want everything printed in your language? Go to the country where everything is printed in that language. If you want to stay/live/work in the US, learn English.
9) Publicly blame your background/upbringing/parents/economic status for your actions. Never accept that what you have reaped is exactly what you have sown.

Can you tell I am not happy with today’s conventions? Whatever happened to personal responsibility, and pride in your appearance? Whatever happened to being afraid to jaywalk, much less break any other law, because if the cops didn’t get you your mother would? Does the phrase “Wait ’til your father gets home” have any meaning anymore? It used to scare the bad out of me real quick. Why do some people expect respect when they don’t give any – to their peers, their followers, their elders, their parents, their teachers, or even themselves?

My mother used to tell us all the time – “You won’t get along with anyone until you can get along with the person in the mirror.” If you didn’t respect yourself, you wouldn’t respect others. If you had no regard for your own life, you would have no regard for anyone (or anything) else’s life.

My pastor gave me a piece of advice that I’ve been incorporating in my everyday life, whenever I see something endearing: “People are retarded. That’s the only explanation.”

He may be on to something.
