we insist on maintaining the "moral high ground" we will NEVER win the
war on terrorism! We're in a conflict in which we absolutely INSIST in
playing by the rules against a maniacal group who have NO rules!
Rattlesnake Logic....
After the Boston bombing the news media spent days and weeks trying to
determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what
America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They want to know
why these men were not arrested before they did something so terrible.
The media is in a tizzy about this new era of homegrown radicals and
about why and how they can live among us and still hate us.
A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me: “Here in west Texas,
I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed a
rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back
porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the
driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.
I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject
me with poison. I don’t stop to wonder WHY a rattlesnake will bite me; I
know it WILL bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's what
rattlesnakes do. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake or have a
"meaningful dialogue" with it…I just kill it. I don’t try to get to know
the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes
and convince them not to bite me. I just kill them. I don’t quiz a
rattlesnake to see if I can find out where the other snakes are, because
(a) it won’t tell me and (b) I already know they live on my place. So, I
just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.
I don’t look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a
non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I
accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at
the time. Also, I know for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are
lurking out there in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to
rid my place of rattlesnakes.
Do I fear them? Not really. Do I respect what they can do to me and my
family? Yes!! And because of that respect, I give them the fair justice
they deserve....I kill them... As a country, we should start giving more
thought to the fact that these jihadists' are telling the world their
goal is to kill Americans and destroy our way of life. They have just
posted two graphic videos on the internet showing them beheading
Americans. They are serious. They are exactly like rattlesnakes. It is
high time for us to start acting accordingly!
I love this country. It's the government I'm afraid of!
