Regular readers will know my disdain for organized religion, especially the Baptists and the Muslims. The reason why has nothing to do with bigotry or religious intolerance but how ideology can make people do the most destructive actions ever. This week, Muslims took the cake for religious stupidity that really makes me to wish for the total elimination of them from the face of this Earth.
A group of Muslim morons destroyed two 14th century temples in Timbuktu yesterday because their "god" told them to. Not to be outdone, Muslim clerics in Egypt have called for the destruction of the pyramids as they are representative of idolatry. Good luck with that by the way as it would take a nuke to get rid of them. These are the same goose-stepping morons who destroyed ancient Buddhist statues in Afghanistan, which thankfully some are trying to repair. These sites belong to the world, not just to your outdated, out of touch religious beliefs, you religious Luddites. It is exactly this type of reasoning that makes me hate religion. I loathe when people deface or destroy anything historical.
If I ever saw a bunch of white, suburban fools wrecking a 17th century graveyard, as has happened, I would bear the crap out of them. This is the same as Pastor Fred Phelps and his deranged group standing outside of fallen soldiers funerals who gave their life for this country by shouting things like "God hates fags." I am stunned no one has taken a car and driven right over these fuckwads. If I ever sit on a jury where some brave soul actually gets his gun and opens fire on these wastes of space, my vote is not guilty regardless. This type of of tolerance cannot stand anymore and unless we start standing up and demanding an end to this type of "free speech," which it isn't, hate will never end.
Look, if you want to preach hate and death, go right ahead. But don't do it by destroying historical areas or protesting in places where it is in ultra bad taste. If you are not being civil, I see no reason to reciprocate the reverse. These types of groups need to be stopped, even if violence is called for at this point. Phelps should be hospitalized the next time he dares to set foot in a cemetery with a single sign and any Muslim calling for the destruction of world sites, should be executed. As I have said in the past, the time for tolerance and understanding is passing us by and only by standing up and doing something about these assholes will anything ever change.
Going through the bylaws of the UN, a new international treaty is seeking to eliminate handguns from the world stage. The NRA is rightfully concerned that this will subvert US law and get rid of guns throughout the country. The UN feels only governments should have guns which will mean only criminals, this including the government, will have guns meaning they can say jump and we will have no choice to say how high. The difference between the average gun owner and the army is already leaps and bounds different and totally against what the founding fathers wanted. We should have a civilian army, not beholden to the federal government, so they can no longer force us to follow their every whim. Had this been the case, we would have already legalized marijuana and prostitution in many states and not had Obamacare forced down our throats.
Speaking of health care, Texas Representative Al Green, trashed the Republicans for their continued rallying against all of Obamacare with no real plan on how to fix it. They keep saying the old way is unsustainable but then rely on outdated talking points on how to fix it. Obamacare may not be perfect, which it isn't, but a lot of it is step in the right direction. Get a single payer plan together, eliminate employment as the only way to get health care, radically change medical malpractice suits, allow for drug prices to be negotiated, and ban all drug advertising and watch the system change overnight.
Green stood in front of the House and read from the first part of the GOP plan on how to fix the health care system. Dead silence. He then read from the second part. Crickets. He then read the whole plan. Still nothing. Why the silence you ask? Because the GOP HAS NO PLAN. The closest they came was the Paul Ryan Budget plan which was to eliminate Social Security, Food Stamps, Unemployment Insurance, Medicare and Medicade to help pay for huge tax cuts for the rich. Sarah Palin keeps crowing about death panels while the Paul Ryan plan actually implements them. Remember that come November because anyone voting for any GOP candidate is actually voting to dig their own graves.
