And the campaign he called "change".&lt;br /&gt;And the evening and the morning were the second day.&lt;br /&gt;And Obama said, let all the radicals from the left come forth and gather unto one place and Obama called it “the Democrat controlled Congress” and let those who hate conservatives and capitalism gather here, and Obama called this place “The White House”, and it was so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama said let ACORN bring forth a sea of votes for me and stifle others who share not my beliefs, their seed shall be cast to depths of the deepest ocean and the barren sands, and it was so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the election did bring forth many votes and much intimidation, becoming an electoral cancer that struck a nation, white against black, rich against poor, socialist against patriot, and Obama saw that it was good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the evening and the morning were the third day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama said, let there be laws in congress to punish the achievers and reward the lazy and ignorant and we shall reward them for days and for years and my reward shall be a second term.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let these laws be a light upon the earth and it was so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama made two great promises the greater was called socialism and would rule our lives, the lesser called healthcare, would dictate our deaths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the evening and morning were the forth day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama said, let the democrat controlled congress bring forth more abundant control of every living American that moves within its borders and the democrats gave Obama cap-in-trade; bailouts, nationalized healthcare and amnesty, and Obama saw that it was good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama blessed his minions, saying, be fruitful and multiply, expand your power and beliefs to include all manner of citizen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama said, let the militant Liberals infiltrate the schools and bring forth young people after their kind, radical in their beliefs, and we will bring them out to report on their family and neighbors of words and thoughts against me: and it was so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama made the White House after his kind and the government after his kind and every member of his cabinet after his kind: and Obama saw that it was good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama said to his congress let us make America after our image, after our likeness: and let us have dominion over the rich, the poor, the educated and the ignorant, and over all people of this wretched nation to bring forth our change..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Obama began to make America after his own image. He brought the government deep into our lives and deeper into our pockets, and government made us change in public to their image, for fear of retribution and punishment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama blessed his converts both young and old, and Obama said unto his Unions, his Congress and ACORN, be fruitful and multiply and replenish your ranks and subdue those conservatives, patriots and capitalists, and you will have dominion over them through me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama said, behold I have given you America, and every facet of its government, plant your seeds of socialism in every school, local government and airwaves in America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And in every home, workplace and media outlet our minions shall multiply and control all that is seen and heard in America, and Obama saw that it was good and it was so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Obama saw everything he had made, and, behold it was very good. And the evening and morning were the sixth day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama rested on the seventh day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-9081571608428462124?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/9081571608428462124/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=9081571608428462124' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/9081571608428462124'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/9081571608428462124'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-genesis-chapter-1-in-beginning.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5lCWKfNVA_0/SoH0rxrSwzI/AAAAAAAAAAg/0dwWuENA6zs/s72-c/Obama+god.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-1575289183558990494</id><published>2009-05-23T20:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-05-23T20:33:39.060-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ccccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Open Letter to the Hollywood Girly Man&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;By &lt;a href="mailto:editor@realmanmag.com" target="_blank"&gt;FRANKLIN PIERCE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;During this difficult economy when the Real Man is out busting his ass trying to keep food on the table for his family, you've treated us to a very public display of an entirely different kind of man:  the Hollywood girly man.&lt;br /&gt;Hardly a day goes by where we don't witness one of you bemoaning the difficulties of life in your shoes.  You whine about how tough it is to be you.  You whimper about the complexities of your life.  You moan about how hard it is to have your job.  You are in therapy trying to deal with the horrific realities of living in a mansion in Southern California.  Well I've got news for you pal - almost everyone's job is tough and almost everyone's life is tough.  That's life.  Get over it.  Quit acting like such a self-indulgent pansy and man-up.&lt;br /&gt;Men who are making a pauper's wage are getting up before dawn everyday, taking crap from difficult bosses, and doing strenuous or tedious work, all in an effort to try and get by, or perhaps improve the lives of their families.  Forgive us if you think you have it tough because you might have to settle for $5 million on your next project, or some fan has the audacity to ask for your autograph, or some dad asks you to take a picture with his son, or you can't get your table at Spagos, or the paparazzi are staked out at your resort in the Cayman Islands.&lt;br /&gt;I also have to chuckle every time I hear one of you mentally unstable twits pontificate about how you had to live in another state or country in order to keep your sanity.  Sanity from what?  Because people are kissing your ass all of the time, because you are filthy rich, because people or critics are dissing your 'art'?  Give me a freaking break.  So you tell yourself that you need to fly planes, or drive race cars, or paint, or heaven forbid, direct, in order to prove that your life has some meaning or purpose, and that you aren't just a piece of meat.  Or my personal favorite - you move to another country where they are much more 'sophisticated' and leave you alone in your narcissism.  By 'sophisticated' I suppose you mean they eat snails, and suck-up to terrorists who burn down their neighborhoods.   Do you have any concept of how utterly ridiculous you sound?&lt;br /&gt;Good God man, get a grip!  You pantywaisted retard.  (forgive my politically incorrectness - I meant to say you effeminate, intellectually challenged putz).  You're a millionaire many times over; you own mansions overlooking the ocean; you dine in the finest restaurants; you fly on private luxury jets; you drive exotic cars; you bed the most beautiful women - but your lives are so difficult that you have to escape them by obsessing about some hobby or moving to another country? Unfreakingbelievable!&lt;br /&gt;And please enough already with your politics.  You're pitiable.   You read a little bit about some political issue, then you sit around and talk to all of your buddies who think exactly the same way, and who have the same rudimentary simpleton knowledge of the issue.  Then you have the audacity to think you are politically astute, because your ignorant buddies or butt-kissing-hangers-on tell you how brilliant you are.  The truth is, whenever you open your mouth about any political issue, you come across as a complete buffoon.  If someone from an opposing point of view challenges you with something more than a kiss-ass question, you have no intelligent response.  Instead you mimic the chants and the IQ of a mob on the street chanting through megaphones - e.g. "Bush lied, people died", or something equally dim-witted, tiresome, and unenlightening.&lt;br /&gt;Even more pathetic is how you hide behind your cowardice by publicly chastising your country for having the testicular fortitude to fight against terrorists who've killed over 3000 of your fellow countrymen and women.  The truth is, you are a girly man.  You don't have the guts to fight for your country.  If your honor was questioned, or a man offended your woman (for those of you who actually like women), you'd deal with the offender by spitting, biting, pulling hair, or bitch-slapping rather than an honorable display of a manly, mixed martial arts, ass whooping. &lt;br /&gt;If you still have any doubt whatsoever that I'm questioning your manhood, allow me to put that doubt to rest - I am questioning your manhood.  Let me give you an example of how a Real Man from Hollywood once dealt with the politics of war.  Jimmy Stewart was a star in Hollywood in the 1940's.  When war broke out, do you think he retreated to the confines of his mansion, sipping martinis on the veranda, and counting his money?  Do you think he traveled to another country and gave speeches criticizing and belittling his own country?  Not 'no', but 'hell no'!&lt;br /&gt;Jimmy Stewart joined the Army Air corp.  He worked his way up to Colonel.  He actually flew missions as a bomber pilot against the Germans.  The guy laid his life on the line.  Or how about Clark Gable.  At the age of 41, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Gable enlisted in the army.  He worked his way up to major.  He also flew air raids against the Germans.  There were many other actors who also served during World War II and put their lives on the line for their country. &lt;br /&gt;Compare those Real Men of Hollywood with you Hollywood girly men of today.  Can you imagine any of you doing anything remotely as brave?  Of course not - you're cowards who conveniently find that you're opposed to any conflict that might require you to fight for your country, defend your country, or otherwise behave with courage. &lt;br /&gt;The problem is that you've surrounded yourself with butt-kissers and fellow self-absorbed sociopaths, enabling your mental instabilities, so that you actually believe that your life is crap.  Or you believe that as an 'artist' you need to be miserable in order to be 'creative'.&lt;br /&gt;I hesitate to offer up a problem without also offering a solution, so here you go.  I'm going to help put you out of your misery and help turn you into a Real Man rather than the sniveling, pathetic, Hollywood girly man you've become.  I'm going to do this not only because I've got a heart as big as all outdoors, but also because you are a freaking mess and I can't bear to watch a grown male act like such a limp-wristed, beauty queen - in short, you give men a bad name.&lt;br /&gt;First, give away all of your money to an honorable charity such as one who supports veterans who've become disabled in their pursuit of protecting your freedoms to be a effeminate dullard and whine about your job and your country.  By your own admission, your wealth  is only making you miserable.&lt;br /&gt;Second, move away from Hollywood.  Again, by your own admission, it's eating away at your soul.  Move to a small town in the Midwest.  Get a job on a milk farm and work as a laborer for an honest wage.  Start a family and support your wife and kids with your wages.  Don't worry, at night after the wife and kids are asleep, you can still prance around in make-up and women's underwear.&lt;br /&gt;Finally, act like a man.  I know it's going to be hard - since you're actors, it should be easy, but the truth is this will be the most difficult role you ever take on.  Develop some confidence based not on people praying to you as a god based on your onscreen persona, but based on you behaving like a grown man.  Man-up.  Quit whining and complaining.  Help your family and neighbors.  Stay out of politics.  Spend time with your son camping, hunting, fishing, and playing ball.&lt;br /&gt;I fully expect you girly men to lash out at my criticism.  By 'lash out', I mean take some limp-wristed, sissy-like slaps, rather than indulge in some overdue introspective and consider that your self-conscious, sociopathic, mental instabilities are self-induced and easily corrected.  Your pathetic responses will only help make my point.  So I encourage you to sashay into the ring and take your best girly man shot.&lt;br /&gt;If my grandfather were still alive, after listening to you whine for a few minutes about how rough you have it, he'd smack you upside the head, take you out behind the woodshed, and whip your ass.  Then he'd put a shovel in your hand and tell you to get back to work if you want dinner.  Consider this the first smack upside your head.  Later on I'll take you out behind the shed and whip your ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;©2009 Real Man Magazine&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-1575289183558990494?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/1575289183558990494/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=1575289183558990494' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/1575289183558990494'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/1575289183558990494'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2009/05/open-letter-to-hollywood-girly-man-by.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-5927670521524871628</id><published>2008-02-12T12:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-02-19T10:41:52.920-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ffccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A LETTER FROM A FATHER TO HIS CHILDREN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;I am sorry my children for I have failed you.I have bequeathed to you a world more vile and perverted than the one left to me.A world that once controlled human behavior through religion, family honor and personal conscience now views the complete lack of personal restraint as “progressive” and liberating, regardless of its consequences. Religion is now viewed as a means to frighten the weak minded to conform to its restricting lifestyle rather than a tool to guide them in life’s difficult times and a moral restraint to selfish human pleasures that can have devastating effects on them and their loved ones.This same world that once considered homosexuality a mental disease now considers those who disagree with it, as being mentally ill.A selfish world that promotes privilege above principle keeping the uneducated and ignorant in financial shackles forever tied to the teat of the government mother.I have left you a world riddled with militant liberals in its media, corporate offices and the hallowed halls of Congress desperate to turn America into a hedonistic brothel. These militant liberals have endorsed and promote all manner of deviant social behavior in our schools by removing the constraints of social disgust and shame from the public arsenal, thus polluting their young and impressionable minds with a plethora of negative behaviors that will become an epicurean heirloom for future generations to succumb to. These liberals espouse a terribly flawed “progressive” philosophy that’s only boundaries are the direct harm to another and even that boundary is being constantly re-evaluated and expanded ensuring the most currently offended group is not demonized by its exclusion. This progressive thought further destroys our national fabric by taking prayer (religion) out of the schools because it may proselytize a young mind into faith. They prefer to fill that moral void with explicit sex, glorification of drug use and demonization of the U.S and her flag. They actually think that a total absence of self restraint is terribly enlightening and a historically novel idea. Sadly, if these “enlightened progressives” were to stop looking at themselves and their genitals they would see that throughout history self indulgence without restraint has destroyed many great empires of old. Why would we be any different?They then took aim at the “pledge” taking it out of the schools again fearful that the mere mention of a god in its text may convert a youth to the evils of Christendom. It has been replaced with” diversity” instead, a greatly flawed tool of progressives that deems it imperative that all walks of life must be thrust together and forced to learn and accept each other by means of threat and intimidation rather than personal respect earned by ones actions.I have left you a country that values the loudest few over the rumbling of many, a country so weak from liberalism that a single legal complaint shakes its very foundation and can change its societal direction.I have left you a country that cannot be destroyed from without but is devouring itself from within one lawsuit at a time.Our leadership of this great nation is anything but. They have become a den of vipers looking out for self rather than country, re-election rather than purpose and reinforcing pride with little regard to humility.I have left you a nation that shows you promiscuity, homosexuality and the joys of alcohol and drug use at every turn whether through TV, Radio or magazines. “It’s a Wonderful Life” and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington now pales in the shadow of “Brokeback Mountain”, “Trans America” and “Natural born killers”.I have left you a country that “feels” that to make English the official language is racist and love of country as “ethnocentric”.The country I leave you respects more of those that burn the flag than those who fight for it.I have left you a country that kills millions of babies each year in the name of “choice” and female empowerment yet never giving the most fragile and innocent no us one at all.I have left you a country that allows a single judge with the tap of a gavel to overturn the will of both the elected leadership of a state and a supermajority of the voters of a State.I have left you a country whose music obsessed about sex, not love, drugs, rather than sobriety, promiscuity not monogamy and killing rather than coping.Finally, I have left you a second generation of sponges on society. Those who believe that is better to “get and receive” or “give to receive” than “give more than receive”, a generation of people who have little value on education but greater value on the 1st and 15th of each month. They are saturated in self pity blaming others for the poor choices they made during their life because of a “progressive” thought pattern engrained in them since birth.I am sorry I have left you this, but most of all, I am sorry I failed to use this life given to me to its fullest potential, and the gifts God gave me wasted on a life of personal pursuits when I should have looked beyond my front door. I would have seen the tsunami of evil that would soon try to destroy my fragile homestead I have toiled to preserve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-5927670521524871628?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/5927670521524871628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=5927670521524871628' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/5927670521524871628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/5927670521524871628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2008/02/letter-from-father-to-his-children-by.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-4186974345267054138</id><published>2008-02-04T21:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-12-08T20:47:15.374-08:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5lCWKfNVA_0/R6fzqZn8sBI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/5t7S6jrq3qM/s1600-h/Ronaldus+maximus+conservatus.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163363407562059794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5lCWKfNVA_0/R6fzqZn8sBI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/5t7S6jrq3qM/s320/Ronaldus+maximus+conservatus.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#66cccc;"&gt;Reaganus Magnus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ffff99;"&gt;Our Augustus is gone and we are leaderless once again, only Brutus and his self-serving ilk are left in the party of Lincoln.

These same foundations that influence, and are influenced by our belief in God, a protection of family and a love of country will be considered draconian and replaced by oligarchy, immorality and globalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;I have a fear...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;that the belief in God will not be passed on to our children and they will be doomed to a life of hopelessness with the state becoming their savior. And those who still believe will be ostracized into solitude so their offending views will not infuriate the blind masses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;I have a fear...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;that the terror of offending the Islamic terorists will trump the protection of my children and my country, and the determined homicidal Muslim who cares nothing about himself only the destruction of the Great Satan and the annihilation of the infidel shall destroy the indifferent, lethargic American saturated in creature comforts and reality TV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I have a fear...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;that the rights I have fought for and tens of thousands more have died for will be happily given to the animals and monsters that seek to kill my family, annihilate my religion and eradicate my freedom by those that care little of all three.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;I have a fear...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;that the elected political whores will put advancement and power at the Capitol above the demands and fears of the public. These same politicians that preach Homeland security and locking the American front door yet insist on leaving the back door wide open for all and any who wish to enter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;I have a fear...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;that the militant homosexual will destroy the family and America from within. They strive to blur the difference between right and wrong, while clouding the conscience of our children. They will saturated our children's minds with positive images of the homosexual lifestyle all but ensuring a lethargic response to any future changes the homosexuals will propose to our states laws or our schools curriculum. This will culminate to a generation of adults with little moral guidance and total acceptance of the gay lifestyle. A lifestyle that even with perfectly working biology and countless sexual encounters is unable to create human life, and this is considered "progressive". This radical group whose loyalty, politics, activism and support is based blindly and soley on their sexual orientation rather than the betterment of their nation or the furthment of basic human morals. They will undermine religion with their agnosticism and re-enforce the radical Muslims belief that America is truly a Great Satan, and a nation of scantly clad homosexuals marching in drag, rather than a nation of moms and dads raising their children in a country that promotes ingenuity and hard work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;I have a fear...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;that the cancer of liberalism will cause this nation a slow and painful death with each passing year, drawing it closer to its demise. Ultimately becoming a nation of self serving pacifists, chronically intoxicated on its own power, while being mocked by the world, not for our unilateral decisiveness in our own self preservation but the impotent and wavering decisions of an elected body of leaderless political whores whose focus is on re-election, continued power and appeasement, and not protection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6666;"&gt;And finally I have a fear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;that all of this will happen in my lifetime, on my watch, and I will pass on to my children a nation that is a mere shadow of the great nation I read about in my youth and lived in during my adult years.&lt;br /&gt;We cannot allow this to happen. I wish to put my fears to rest. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-116222347700086092?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/116222347700086092/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=116222347700086092' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/116222347700086092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/116222347700086092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2006/10/i-have-fear.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-115472504528779796</id><published>2006-08-04T12:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-09-19T06:34:35.053-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;Moderate Muslims and Bigfoot..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I believe that moderate Muslims are not only insignificant in number but also in power in their respective countries and organizations. In fact, I believe that the folktale of the Moderate Muslim Majority to be about as factual as Bigfoot. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;We always hear about not "offending" or "upsetting" the moderate Muslim by thoughtless generalized comments about Islam. But when I saw the twin towers fall, their silence was deafening. When homicide bombers blow up cafes, restaurants or school buses in Israel, again, nothing was said by this silent majority. When the London bombings occurred where was the anger, the outrage? Where were the calls for the immediate deportation of their clerics of hate in London? Yet, we are to believe if an infidel was to attack a mosque or another Muslim, regardless of it's justification, this exceedingly silent, sleeping giant would overwhelm it's attacker either by force (by joining the ranks of the homicide bombers) or via the polling booth. This beckons the question "If they are this sleeping giant disgusted by the actions of those who would pervert their religion of peace (as they have told us in the shadows of the night in a fearful whisper) where are they?" Why do they not control their people? Why do they not overwhelm the radicals that have poisoned their faith? And if their only options are to either remain silent or join the ranks of the mob does it really matter if we fight 100,000 or 200,000? For it takes only a small handful of radicals to deliver a successful attack. I say this because a silent, useless, fearful and impotent ally, is no ally at all. I believe that the moderate Muslim is a dying breed and far smaller in number than we are led to believe. It is far more illustrious and prestigious to blow yourself up with as may infidels as is possible in front of your fellow Muslims than to hold hands with the infidel while singing "All we are saying is give peace a chance." The largest growing ranks of homicide bombers are young men, between the ages of 18-35. As they grow up, they see their friends and family march in protests supporting Hamas or Al-Quada. They see friends and family firing weapons into the air while screaming death to this, and death to that. They see their friends and family burning American, Israeli and European flags. Then to solidify the glory of killing the infidel, they go to the local mosque and hear a respected cleric praise the protestors and immortalize the dead homicide bombers for their acts against the Great Satan. I have seen countless young boys (10-15) yelling insults at the West, firing weapons and wearing the outfits of a homicide bomber anxious to become a part of the destruction of the cursed infidel nations.&lt;br /&gt;Here are a few quotes from the “&lt;strong&gt;Religion of Peace&lt;/strong&gt;”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Koran IX. 5-6:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;Kill those who join other gods with God wherever you may find them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Koran 8:12&lt;/strong&gt; “&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bukhari:V4B52N220&lt;/strong&gt; “&lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ishaq:326&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc99;"&gt;“If you come upon them, deal so forcibly as to terrify those who would follow, that they may be warned. Make a severe example of them by terrorizing Allah’s enemies.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Koran 4:143&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;“O believers! Take not infidels for friends rather than believers. Would you furnish God with clear right to punish you?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Koran 5:56&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;O Beleivers! Take not the Jews or Christians as friends. They are but one another's friends. If any one of you takes them for his friends, he surely is one of them!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Koran 9:85&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc33;"&gt;Never pray you over anyone of them who dies, or stand at his grave, because they believed not in God and His Apostle, and died in their wickedness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Koran 9:124&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;Believers! Wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbors, and let them find you rigorous.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;Many in the Western World try to apply Western common sense to Middle Eastern beliefs and this does not work. &lt;em&gt;Muslim countries are controlled by their religion&lt;/em&gt; and the clerics are the mouth pieces of their religion. The average Muslim has FAR more respect and admiration for their clerics, than we, in the West, have for our local preachers. Could we in America have a protest involving hundreds of thousands people with short notice at the urging of one man and one man alone. I am certain we could not. Yet Muqtada al-Sadr or Ali al- Sistani both in Iraq have done just that, without going on T.V, running ads or advertising the event months in advance. The average Muslim believes it to be their duty to obey the orders of the cleric as he is the mouth piece of Allah on earth. The sooner we accept that their actions (past/present and future) are because of their religion, and their hatred of us is because of their religion, the better off we shall all be.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-115472504528779796?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/115472504528779796/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=115472504528779796' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/115472504528779796'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/115472504528779796'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2006/08/moderate-muslims-and-bigfoot.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-112673268253442530</id><published>2005-09-14T10:25:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-04-20T08:41:42.320-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liberalism and oligarchy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I'll address liberalism, the great destroyer of democracies. Liberalism is very effective in democracies and democracies only. The reason for this is that they play on emotions or feelings, both of which democracies take into consideration BUT are not BLINDLY controlled by them. Just look at the constitution and you will find a large amount of emotion and value placed on a persons well being. Even the preamble states, "&lt;strong&gt;insure domestic tranquility, promote the general welfare, secure the blessings of liberty"&lt;/strong&gt;. Liberalism by definition relies on the "goodness" of mankind. Which I do not believe exists. I believe we are all wicked by nature some far more than others. This belief comes from the bible which states in&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;Psalms 51:5&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;that we all come into the world as sinners: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;"Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me."&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;I am not saying that people are not generally good but we all have skeletons in our closet and have bad deeds in our past "done in our youth" or "while I was drunk or "hi on drugs" maybe even in a fit of rage things were said or done. Now our liberal friends would say that we must look past the evil and try to "look past" the flaws. You see, that is the biggest mistake one can do. I'll explain. Accepting our mistakes and the responsibility for the consequences makes us a better person. We have all heard "well, he was picked on in school, that's why he killed his mom" or " he did drugs that caused damage to his brain, so he shouldn't go to jail" and the list goes on and on. We have to accept a level of personal accountability. Liberals focus on the finger pointing away, whereas conservatives focus on the three pointing back, knowing by accepting our faults we can correct them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Liberals (as a whole) are not very religious by nature because the bible is full of truths (that sometimes hurt) and consequences for actions. Liberals will say that is all bible beliefs and they don't believe that it is anything more than a book at best. Our founding fathers said quite the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;opposite.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#33cc00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Quote George Washington (Farewell Address)"&lt;/strong&gt;It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and Bible . What students would learn in American schools above all is the religion of Jesus Christ.&lt;strong&gt; [speech to the Delaware Indian Chiefs May 12, 1779]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;What about separation of church and state??? Gasp. A person would be flogged out of office for making such comments today.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;John Adams said&lt;/strong&gt; "Our Constitution was made only for a &lt;em&gt;moral&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;religious people&lt;/em&gt;. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other." &lt;strong&gt;--October 11, 1798.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;You can see that the view of the founding fathers is vastly different than ours today and yet we act as though the founding fathers would be okay with gay pride parades, welfare, and tolerate the burning of the flag they fought so hard to fly. Which leads me to my next point. If I recall correctly, the revolutionary war and the freedoms and liberties it brought with it were started because of a group of acts referred to as the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#66ffff;"&gt;INTOLERABLE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;acts. These acts were passed by parliament in 1774 and pushed America into war. Everything we have in this country was brought about by intolerance. I am not sure when intolerance became an evil trait but having an amount of it is very American. Being intolerant makes you passionate about a subject and motivates you to correct it. Too much is also a weakness but too much of any trait considered a flaw and intolerance is no different. We need to intolerant but not to the point of harm or injury to another but at the ballot box. Interestingly enough liberals pride themselves on their level tolerance" and point out the intolerance of the "Right" and "Christians" they chant this mantra at every venue they encounter. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Let's look at THEIR level tolerance for those&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;of opposing views.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;"I hate Republicans and everything they stand for".&lt;/span&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/howarddean212227.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Howard Dean&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;"This is a struggle of good and evil. And we're the good"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/h/howarddean168152.html"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Howard Dean&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;"Republican comes in the dictionary just after reptile and just above repugnant... I looked up Democrat.

I have no doubt he's an accomplished lawyer and an affable dinner companion, but that doesn't make him any less a mortal danger to equal rights for gay people, reproductive freedom and affirmation action." Matt Foreman (E.D NGLT). "In a last-ditch effort to "save marriage!" our enemies -- including George W. Bush -- want to give us a "marriage lite" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#33ff33;"&gt;Gay journalist Rex Wockner&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;I could go on and on. The point I am making is they are hypocrites at best. These people preach love and tolerance and acceptance of one another, yet they are completely intolerant of both Christians and Republicans and those that disagree with them. They refer to "wars" and "enemies", "evil" and also of "agendas". They like to put fear in the hearts of people with statements like "Christians want to throw their morals down our throat and take away our freedoms we have" &lt;strong&gt;(please refer to the John Adams quote above).&lt;/strong&gt; I will answer with this. Can you name me one group that doesn't have an "agenda" or want to force us to "change" the way we think using their version of "morals". I can name a dozen off the top of my head. (N.O.W, Moveon.org, ACLU, ACTUP, Planned Parenthood etc) I think it's rather odd that the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;gays have sided with pro-abortion groups and N.O.W. (National Organization of Women) the N.E.A and A.F.T. The ACLU is headed by a openly militant homosexual. Have you seen them defend the "CIVIL LIBERTIES" of Christians, Republicans (I know Rush Limbaugh. but let look at the rule and not a rare exception, they had a motive for that) and more decidedly with such praise of the liberal democrats across the board. I'll save that topic for a future date.&lt;br /&gt;Now back to liberalism. The focus is on ones &lt;strong&gt;feelings&lt;/strong&gt; not good judgment look at the words they use (mean spirited, diversity, acceptance, inclusive, bigot, racist, offended) So, basically lets all hold hands, love all and accept everything and if you don't you a mean spirited, bigoted, racist.   Basing laws and actions on emtions can be a very scary concept, since these vary with gender, understanding of the subject, up bringing, age, morals and values, location in the country. Let us look closer at "Morals" (Def) &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Dictionary.com&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc66;"&gt;Rules or habits of conduct, especially of sexual conduct, with reference to standards of right and wrong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;I chose this because it is straight to the point. We do not call a person that does a "good" deed as &lt;em&gt;moral,&lt;/em&gt; but someone who engages in sexual deviant behavior is considered &lt;em&gt;immoral &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the final piece of this puzzle. Oligarchy. &lt;strong&gt;On September 28, 1820 Thomas Jefferson wrote:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#33ffff;"&gt;You seem... to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions; a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy. Our judges are as honest as other men, and not more so ... and their power [is] the more dangerous, as they are in office for life and not responsible, as the other functionaries are, to the elective control.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;How many times have you read or heard about a judge who made a decision that goes against "the people". I'll give you some recent examples. A judge in Wash state said that the parents had no right to stop their (8th grade) daughter from smoke dope and having sex with her boyfriend. School districts all over the country are removing (CHRISTmas) and any reference to the birth Christ (nativity sets, songs etc) because a single family or even several families were offended. Lowe’s and Walgreen’s have taken out all mention of Christmas with "Holiday trees" or in the case of Walgreen’s removed it altogether. A judge allows gay marriage in MA even though 69% of the residents voted AGAINST it. I could go on and on. We have all seen it in the news. Frankly, I am tired of the very few dictating policy to the many. Now, 86% of Americans identify with some form of God or "higher power" which leaves 14% that are atheist or Agnostic. I am certain that not all 14% of them are protesting Christians and starting lawsuits. Most of them probably think we are ignorant and simple minded because believe, and pray to someone we can't see. So, maybe 1/2, I'll say 7% try to do something about those "bible thumping, God fearing freaks". Why are we even fighting? I have not seen in my entire life an act or law that passed because 7% of the population wanted it. You will notice that ALL of these radical groups will go to the courts and NOT the people to forward their agendas, here are some examples.&lt;br /&gt;In Poway, north of San Diego, a former student at Poway High School told a court this week that for several years he was repeatedly harassed because he is gay (so was I for being fat and having pimples, being poor). Their suit seeks unspecified damages and a requirement that the school to create "a healthier environment" for gay and lesbian teens( Hey what about fat kids, smelly kids, ugly kids, handicapped kids, poor kids ALL are ridiculed and belittled).&lt;br /&gt;Another case involves five teachers who received threatening voicemail messages on their classroom phones. The teachers found them when they returned from spring break. The principal, Chris Holleran, said the messages were garbled but it was clear the messages said, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;"We know who you are, we put up with you"&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;(How horrific)"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;Lambda Legal Files Historic Lawsuit Seeking Full Marriage for Gay Couples in New York this is the whole enchilada. We seek, and intend to win, full marriage for lesbian and gay couples across New York - nothing more&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;(Oh really, 8-10 years ago it was "just accept us, and lets just get along, now it's marriage. Whats the next step, everyone has an agenda)&lt;/span&gt; &lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;and nothing less&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt; said &lt;strong&gt;Kevin Cathcart, Executive Director of Lambda Legal&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Liberalism is a extremely flawed philosophy because you blur the line between moral and immoral, but more seriously between what is right by most people and what is right to a few. It is also dangerous because you cannot please all people all the time. So trying to be all INCLUSIVE you exclude others by default. I'll give you an example by not saying "Merry Christmas" you are not INCLUDING a group or groups you EXCLUDING the group that wishes to say it. By removing snowmen from textbooks in California you are not including females you are applying gender to a pile of snow. By removing the name "Founding Fathers" and changing it to "the framers" you accomplishing what? These men were not carpenters nor were women involved or minorities. So let us forget the facts, regardless of their truth and add other groups so no one is left out. They were men and as a group are the founding "fathers" of this country, they made it and developed it and ran it. You see liberalism wants everything a vanilla/chocolate swirl (or in the case of most homosexuals, rainbow) not understanding that most people like EITHER chocolate OR vanilla at any given time, not both at the same time, every time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-112673268253442530?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/112673268253442530/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=112673268253442530' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112673268253442530'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112673268253442530'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2005/09/liberalism-and-oligarchy-first-ill.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-112369195406934719</id><published>2005-08-10T09:19:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-24T10:20:07.543-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/Gay12.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;WHY THEY HATE US&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffff00;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;The Major Sins of Islam --Al-Kaba'r The major sins are those acts which have been forbidden by Allah in the Quran and by His Messenger (SAW) in the Sunnah (practice of the Prophet), and which have been made clear by the actions of of the first righteous generation of Muslims, the Companions of the Prophet (SAW). Allah Most High says in His Glorious Book: If you avoid the major (part) of what you have been forbidden (to do), We will cancel out for you your (other) evil deeds and will admit you (to Paradise) with a noble entry.

Cursing or insulting any of the Companions of Allah's Messenger&lt;br /&gt;Now I know that we "commit" more crimes than I've bolded, but the ones I have, are considered part of the American "culture" or freedoms therein. I want you to look at the list above and then look at the pictures. Remember; put yourself in the shoes of a person who has never lived with what we see everyday. You will quickly see why they hate us and that any "good" that we do is wiped away by the 30+ sins that American culture commits. This IS the true recruitment tool. &lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/greed.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/200/greed.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/Gay11.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/Gay13.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/Gay13.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/200/Gay11.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/Gay13.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/gay31.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/200/gay31.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/male%20mag.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/200/male%20mag.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;They can never be truly our friends. Here is direct translation from the Koran: &lt;strong&gt;O believers, take not Jews and Christians as friends; they are friends of each other. &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Those of you who make them his friends is one of them&lt;/span&gt;.- 5:54&lt;/strong&gt; (&lt;strong&gt;Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. - 2:216&lt;/strong&gt;) We may be used by them and their are those who do not follow the Koran strictly but we are talking about the extremists and those who assist them is some shape or fashion. This looks pretty cut and dry to me let us see what happens to "them"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;On unbelievers is the curse of Allah. - Sura 2:161&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme - 8:39&lt;br /&gt;Allah has cursed the unbelievers and proposed for them a blazing hell. - 33:60&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The unbelievers among the People of the Book and the pagans shall burn forever in the fire of hell. They are the vilest of all creatures. - 98:51&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;So an unbeliever will go to hell; are cursed and are the vilest of ALL creatures. Doesn't sound like a very good combination for a lasting relationship? When we have countries that are controlled and dictated by religion and others that are not, you will have a clash of principles based on religion between the two. We ARE a Country based on religion which manifests conscience in the eyes of it's people. The main difference is that we are not controlled by it. We could, as a country, remove every single religious object and writing ever produced. Can the same be said of countries controlled by Islam. Ours is a part of our culture, theirs controls their culture. It dictates what they eat, when to pray, how often etc. Whereas we choose to go to church on any given Sunday or participate in a church function. We choose to have religion as part of our culture and life to assist in the control of our behaviors, at any time we can stop. Our religion is a choice personally but a need socially. Once the religious "constraints" have been shed, we are free to do what we will, hence the disgusting and vile behaviors we see man commit and the behaviors the world sees and judges us by. We have seen throughout history that once a country or empire starts to focus on personal pleasures and self gratification, within 3 generations it has become just a blip in history. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;I am writing this not to EXPLAIN or JUSTIFY why they are doing this but to explain that we need to get of the "lets be buddies" band wagon and get on the "CYA" wagon. Let’s put the security of America and its people first and worry about looking goodin the eyes of the Europeans and turning a quick buck last. We cannot change the way they feel about us we can only pray that in time cooler heads will prevail in the Middle East. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-112369195406934719?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/112369195406934719/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=112369195406934719' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112369195406934719'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112369195406934719'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2005/08/why-they-hate-us-major-sins-of-islam.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-112368922620555654</id><published>2005-08-10T06:51:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-29T14:26:35.273-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/gay%20military.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/320/gay%20military.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffccff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;GAYS IN THE MILITARY&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;This is a subject I know very well, as you can see I have spent many a year in the military. I will first say this, I don't hate homosexuals nor do I condone violence against them. We are a civilized people and should act accordingly. I just believe that their lifestyles are contrary to what is best for the continued furtherance of the human race. The military as an institution has been around for 1000's of years. Interestingly enough, the might and power of a nation is derived from the strength of it's military or merely the perception of strength it gives. The weaker country falls prey to the stronger. Whether we agree with that is irrelevant, it is nature at it's most ruthless. To understand this, is to understand the very basic of human nature. We live in a hostile world and evil men do take the reigns of power in some countries, and we must be the most powerful nation without question, to ensure this great country continues. Their are numerous factors that can control the outcome of a battle or war. If we look at the above mentioned topic of strength, I will ask you this "If we were to battle an army of women or men with only spears and arrows how certain would we be in the outcome? Our tanks and missiles would obliterate the mightiest spear or sword. In the military might IS everything. The enemy will exploit to their advantage ANY weakness found.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;As a member of the military I understand the nature of close quarters and the lack of privacy the military provides. You have to shower with a dozen men or at least share a room with someone. Now, with the knowledge that the person in the room with you is gay, even though they haven't announced it over the intercom makes heterosexuals uncomfortable at the very least. Just as women feel uncomfortable around men (i.e separate workout gyms, colleges) I pose this question to you. Why do we separate the sexes? Is it because they find the other sexually attractive, of course. Will the males pounce on the females and rape them on the tiled floor, of course no. But we remove the temptation with the separation we force on them. Now in my case (as a male) Don't gay men find men "attractive"? Yes. Will they pounce on them in the shower? No. Most in the gay community will say "We won't rape or force ourselves on straight people." "If your straight we leave you alone."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;I'll answer those responses with this. I am a married man with three children. I have a pretty wife (at least that's what I am told) of course I think so. Yet, if I see a absolute knockout of a woman, I look, maybe even a second glance. I won't tell you what would run through the mind of most men because if you are one, you understand. The point I am trying to make is this. You CANNOT turn off what sexually arouses you. That gay individual WILL see someone they find very attractive and WILL be turned on by seeing them naked whether that person is gay or straight. I'm sorry that is a fact. If I was to shower with women I would be "turned on". In fact I would insist on seeing my doctor if I wasn't. Gays are no different they just like the same sex as opposed to the opposite sex. What about a buff, good looking 22 year old man naked covered in soap and having running water run over his firm pecks and glutes. Are you trying to tell me the gay male is not even going to look and have thoughts run through his head and try to make sure that he showers at the same time each day? If I was single and a hot girl was showering next to me at 6pm on Wednesday you can bet the farm I would be first in line next Wednesday at 6pm. I wouldn't touch her or say anything. But you see, she may catch me looking at her. How would she feel then, knowing a set of eyes were memorizing her every square inch? Knowing that sexual thoughts are more than likely running through my head? (men they say have sexual thoughts every 30 secs) It is no different. The National Organization of Women would be throwing a fit and want the male flogged and removed for "treating the women as an object" or "sexually harassing her. (Maybe so, but we'll save that argument for another day) or being a sexist pig. Why should straight males have to put up with this? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;Let us re-visit the point of the military as a single unit. One of the biggest problems a unit can have is relationship problems "in house". Men become unexpected fathers or women becoming mothers. Boyfriend and girlfriend fights. The list goes on and on. In fact, you may have heard that rule of "Don't date someone you work with" This is never more true than in a military unit were you are not only worried about unit cohesiveness but unit integrity and camaraderie. This may come as a surprise to many but men together (if it's safe) talk about sex, women more sex and boy stuff (In that order) they laugh, tell stories, testosterone flies left and right. They may even try to pick up a cute local girl. But when it's time to fight they are first in line. Why? Because they have bared their souls to each other and have swapped manly stories and have drawn closer because of it. What would a homosexual have to relate to in this scenario? Really, the subject WILL get on sex at some point in time and what offering does the homosexual offer (Brad Pitt) I see a hush falling over the room. The testosterone would soon dissipate and the men would go back to cleaning their guns. It is a well know fact that homosexuals relate Much better to women than to men. I have read countless articles stating that very fact. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;The worst thing is bringing women and OPEN gays onto the battle field. I say open because if you are open in words, you are open in actions. Now, men have to look over their shoulder and their backs before saying something. Women/homosexuals can make accusations because they "felt" uncomfortable or perceived things to be sexual or discriminating in nature. Did you hear that!!!! That's right! If they perceive something to be sexual or biased in nature they can lodge a complaint and an awful lot of bad things happen to the soldier when this happens. It becomes an uphill battle to prove innocence not guilt. You cannot mix oil and water together. I am not saying women shouldn't be in the military, oh, no. Women have a place in the military but not holding an M-40 in a foxhole. In my opinion homosexuals should keep what they do in the closet because being "outed" or "free" does not assist the military in it's mission nor does it give this great country better protection. Homosexuals are more dangerous to the success of a mission than women because they look like men but act similar to women. We separate according to rank or gender, that's easy but not sexual intentions. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-112368922620555654?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/112368922620555654/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=112368922620555654' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112368922620555654'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112368922620555654'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2005/08/gays-in-militarythis-is-subject-i-know.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-112345824934002143</id><published>2005-08-07T15:52:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-24T12:25:44.943-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffff00;"&gt;Radical Muslims&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;People often fall for the liberal belief that the Muslims that attacked and want to attack us again are not a majority. Let us think outside the box for a moment. When we were attacked on 9/11 it was by Islamic &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/PalestinianWoman.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/200/PalestinianWoman.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;monsters but I saw thousands of people in numerous countries dancing in the streets, praising the hijackers and the loss of American life. I've NEVER seen Americans at anytime dancing in the streets over the loss of life from another country. If fact, I don't recall it happening in any "civilized" country. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/antiamerican_pakistan.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/200/antiamerican_pakistan.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;That act in itself is somewhat extreme. A majority is 51% not 80% or 90%. So if we were to add the thousands of Hamas "soldiers" marching in green and white, the tens of thousands of spectators watching and cheering and shooting guns in the air for Hamas (obviously agreeing with them). Does that not constitute a majority, this was in Palestine (not a large area). You don't have to strap a bomb to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/1600/hamas.jpg"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5512/1397/200/hamas.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;your chest to be an extremist because it's a belief. A belief in the cause and ultimate goal not caring how you get there. So the elderly lady I saw dancing on 9/11 is just as bad in my book because she could help them with money, she could hide them during a raid or assist them in some other way by lying to officials because they believe the same flawed ideal and their hate of us is greater than any loss of life because again, we are the "Great Satan". Many of them are over here, raising money, sponsoring terrorists into the country, giving them safe refuge, etc. So when I say a majority are extremist, I include all those that support and enable the suicidal monsters to be successful in some way, shape or form, and that is more than 51%. You know it's interesting. Here in this country if you &lt;strong&gt;know &lt;/strong&gt;of a crime that will be committed and you say nothing, it's a crime. If you &lt;strong&gt;house&lt;/strong&gt; a runaway criminal you can be jailed. What about the animals that said nothing and covered Mr. Couey as he raped and killed that little girl? Did we not put them in the same boat and look at them in disgust and loathing because they LET him do it, and said nothing and even helped him. Yet, when we talk of these extremists, they are just small groups of "bombers" that represent a "small" fraction of the population and that's it. That's the only group we need to defeat. I am not saying that ALL Muslims are evil. I am sure their are many kind and pro-American Arabs out there, but to say THEY are the majority would be in gross error. They are a minority to be sure. If we are to win this war, we need to call the black kettle black and act accordingly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-112345824934002143?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/112345824934002143/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=112345824934002143' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112345824934002143'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112345824934002143'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2005/08/radical-muslimspeople-often-fall-for.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15183227.post-112339915659681731</id><published>2005-08-07T00:07:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2005-08-24T17:24:14.736-07:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;color:#ffff00;"&gt;A CAUSE FOR RACIAL PROFILING&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffcc;"&gt;I look back to Sept 11th and find myself wondering what if racial profiling started then? We certainly knew of Muslim extremists and already had an attack on the World Trade Center in '93. You see we were more worried about appeasement and personal feelings rather than public security. Winston Churchill said it best when he stated, "Those that appease the crocodile only get eaten last". We need to understand that these people hate us for "WHO" we are, not what we've done. I'll explain. We all have a core set of morals that translate into thoughts, and those thoughts translate into actions. So you see what we've done is irrelevant because "who"we are made us do it. We are the "Great Satan" and our poison will pollute their way of life. Now with that understood, let's look at the profiling issue again. We have an enemy that will stop at nothing to eradicate us from the planet, and they will be greatly rewarded for it. If they die doing this, all the more better. That is a pretty formidable offense to deal with. We on the defensive side (in our country) know what to do, but can't, won't or are unable, due to laws put in place by some liberals in this country. The irony in this is this. What the Muslim world hates most about us is what the liberals hold so dear and close to their heart: homosexuality, sex on T.V, women's rights, abortion and lastly and agnosticism. You see each one of these are viewed as a societal poison and a destroyer of all that is good in the Muslim world, and several of them could even cause you to be killed. We have an enemy that will stop at nothing to destroy us and we will stop at everything to destroy us. During WWII we had interment camps for the Germans, Italians and Japanese living here in the U.S and that was for national security during a time of war. Yet today we've drifted so far to the left that even stopping someone of a certain ethnicity to check a bag is viewed as wrong and bigoted. People, we are dealing with an enemy that &lt;strong&gt;wants to die&lt;/strong&gt; and take as many of us with them. I think a little note of caution is not too much to ask. If we stated "All males between the ages of 18 and 45 of Arab desent will be checked" How many of the 9/11 hijackers would we have caught? You may say "That won't get all of them." I would respond with this "If I could do one thing in your neighborhood to decrease crime by 70% would you be willing to do it? Yes we won't get all of them but we will certainly dwindle their numbers. We can also change the rules to add females, others from suspect countries. The random bag checks are useless. Out of millions of people that pass through JFK airport how can we catch a specific group or person? I would rather bet the entire family fortune in Las Vegas, the odds are better. These are desperate times that call for desperate measures and racial profiling is the least of all evils that can be done during a time of war. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/15183227-112339915659681731?l=cluffnotes.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/feeds/112339915659681731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=15183227&amp;postID=112339915659681731' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112339915659681731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/15183227/posts/default/112339915659681731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://cluffnotes.blogspot.com/2005/08/cause-for-racial-profilingi-look-back.html' title=''/><author><name>OfByForPeople</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17680005082174324173</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08537745408456642042'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
