Where are all the assholes?

Bear with me here, and please, don't hate me right away.

This past week, once again, a tragic accident occurred. This time in Buffalo NY. By this time you all know about the tragic end of flight 3407 and the 50 souls that were lost. It break my heart everytime this happens, and causes me to ponder myself everytime I fly ......

Whenever there is a tragedy however, no asshole is ever killed. In the days and weeks after such horrific events, we hear stories about every person killed, and how full of life, and how wonderful they were. No one ever comes out and says "yea that Fritz guy was a real asshole ... I'm glad his sorry ass got killed. It's just a shame all those other people had to be around that dick before they died too!"

It's like the idiots who are so miserable they have to take as many people out of the world with them. Yes, they might be labeled as "disturbed" (NO! Really?) or as "having problems" (wow ... you don't say?) .. but most of the time you hear this wonderful phrase:

"Oh ... they were so quite. Always polite and always kept to themselves." In my entire life time I have never heard someone step up to the mic and say "Boy I saw THAT coming a mile away. Homeboy was a ticking time bomb just ready to go off. Oh .. and he sure was an asshole too!"

So, I ask again ..... Why is this? Are we as human just programed to remember the very best of someone even if they were a complete douchebag? Or is it something deeper. Does God really only "take the very best?" If that's the case, I call Shenanigans!!! C'mon God .. how bout taking out a planeload of prisoners at the very least .... hell, after everything I've seen the past few years, I'd even settle for Harry Reid's private jet!

Ok ok .. I know ... that's not nice .... But he is an asshole.

Just one of the things I have pondered this week. Come to think of it, maybe I should stay off planes myself for awhile.

Patriotic Hatred

I have noticed more and more email coming into my inbox lately that’s … well … hateful.  The most disturbing part of this is that these emails are using “Patriotism” as the context for that hatred …..

……. Seriously?  Stop it right now!  

No .. I mean it.  I am about, if not more patriotic than the next guy .. so much so that I am planning on going back into the military this year because I believe so much in this country and anything I can do to help protect her .. I will do it, but I don’t use my patriotism to stand on a pedestal and condemn and threaten other groups.

This is appalling and if you are reading this, and are guilty of crafting, or even forwarding these hateful emails?  You really need to stop it …. at the very least, please take me off your email list …

We are at war.  We are at war with a ruthless enemy who wants nothing more than to destroy our society and way of life, and to thrust us back into the 13th century … and we NEED to stop them.  What we don’t need is people more than willing to click their forward button before they really grasp the ramifications of their hateful actions …

In doing so, you’re proving that your God is just as hateful as theirs ……

…………. Well,  mine isn’t so please don’t infect my inbox with your odium!

Kerry Kerry quite Contrary

As the American spinmeisters rev up their engines to eagerly devour yet another controversy, I sit here and wonder if things are ever going to change in this country, or if they are going to continue down this path of polarized nonsense that the vast majority of "Middle America" is sick and tired of walking on.

While the Democratic Party scrambles to prove to America that John Kerry wasn't inferring that American Troops, during a time of war, are somehow not as intelligent as those who engaged in higher education, they face one very daunting fact that is hard to repudiate.

The great Senator of Massachusetts has done this before.

Soon after returning home from Vietnam, Senator Kerry went before congress and testified against the very men and women he served with. If nothing more, this gave the Republican Party and their talk show mouthpieces, like Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Jim Quinn a lifetime supply of sound bits to use against Mr. Kerry everytime he said or did something they thought could be used for political cannon fodder. This bodes well for them because, as we all know, Senator Kerry is just of of the many public servants who suffer from that indomitable affliction that us common folks know as "Foot in Mouth Disease."

As the Republican party throws their recent temper tantrum over the fact that John Kerry hates every single American serving their country, and wants them all to die of AIDS, they have conveniently forgotten their cries of "bias" against the mass media. Although there were outlets that either didn't even carry the story, put the story on page 18, or glossed over the situation completely, they all did one thing in common. They did indeed leave the full context of his comments somewhere on the editing room floor. Which party do you suppose this serves?

I believe that John Kerry purposely called American Soldiers stupid about as much as I believe that the Pittsburgh Steelers are going to win the Super Bowl again this year. It's obvious to anyone who wishes to take the time to sort through the media, the Democratic Party, and the Republican Party's constant prevarication of reality. Mr. Kerry, simply stated, said something stupid. Had it not been 1 week before what both parties see as a life and death campaign, this story would have lasted one, maybe two news cycles at best.

With that said, I think it was completely inappropriate for a Senator of the United States to imply that the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces was somehow an uneducated moron who is "stuck in Iraq" because of some intellectual reason, or lack thereof. Irrespective of your thoughts on Iraq, we are at war, and I think a little discretion needs to be brought back into politics in this country. The debate on the origins and execution of this conflict can be waged in the writings of history, but for now, statements like these do little more but to embolden those who are eager to lie in green pastures with their 72 virgins.

Mr Kerry should really take some time and think before he attempts to take cheap shots at the President of the United States. One might discover that in reality, from an educational statistics standpoint, his GPA was actually lower than Mr. Bush's.

To me, telling a roomful of students that if they don't study and do well in school they might wind up being the President of the United States some day is not very wise.

After all, it seems we already have enough stupid people in Washington.

Please ... just kill yourself FIRST

*WARNING:  Explicit language*

The human race is pissing me off.

In the past week, on three different occasions, some asshole decided that before they were going to end their miserable existence on this earth, it would be a good idea to murder some innocent children who did nothing wrong other than go to school that day.

Who are these sick fuckers?

And why can’t they just kill their own sorry ass BEFORE they take and innocent life AND destroy the lives of all those who loved said innocent?

So .. to you sorry ass pieces of shit mother fucking worthless cock suckers out there who are on the verge of snapping …. PLEASE do us all a favor

JUST KILL YOURSELF FIRST BEFORE you destroy the lives of people who never deserved to be infected with your disgusting FUCKING existence!

Madness

WOW … Muslims are pissed off and destroying shit again!

SHOCKING!

Supporting our Troops?

Everyone who knows me, knows I am a patriot …

So please keep that in mind during this rant, because it is not about whether or not I love my country, nor is it a condemnation of our military…….

But ….

I am absolutely sick and tired of receiving emails telling me that I need to say 50 Our Fathers for our troops, and then I need to send it to everyone in my address book.

STOP IT ALREADY … OK?

I understand we are at war.  I understand that our troops are in harms way.  I understand that the pulse of a nation directly affects the morale of a soldier.  

I know this because once upon a time, I WAS one of those soldiers in the countless photos that flood my inbox everyday.  

I was one of those soldiers holding a child in shock at the unrelenting reality of unrest in the world.  

I was one of those soldiers stealing a moment with my own personal Band of Brothers to ask God for comfort, knowledge, resolve, and protection.

If you REALLY want to do something good for our soldiers, then instead of sitting in front of your computer hitting the FORWARD then SEND buttons 20 times every day, DO SOMETHING FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!  

Send a care package overseas.
Join a support group that helps the families of fallen soldiers
Volunteer for the American Veterans
Say a prayer and/or light a candle

Do something … anything … sitting in front you’re your PC forwarding emails to those of us who ALREADY get it ISN’T doing something.  As a matter of fact, it’s a really lame, pathetic attempt to try and convince the rest of the world that you really care about the troops ….

Honoring American soldiers takes more effort than just slapping a magnet on your car and forwarding a bunch of poorly designed emails.

….. And if you can’t take the time to do something, nor if you want to, then please … send the damned emails to the Westboro Baptist Church, or John Murtha, or Cindy Sheehan.  

Send them to someone who DOESN’T seem to get it … Because I already do.

Invasion

Ok … lemme see if I got this down right ……

Your country sucks ass so you risk your life to illegally cross OUR border.

Once here, you use MY tax money.

Then … you take “jobs that Americans won’t do.” (I still just LOVE that lie)

Then you all get together to TRY to “shut down America” by protesting …..

You scream how evil America is, flip us the finger, and wave the Mexican flag …

So …. Given all that …

WHY in the hell are you here???

…. And why this issue is even an “issue” boggles my mind

What part of ILLEGAL do you not understand?
