those who still had testicles and some who searched and found theirs massed together past squabbles forgotten for the moment liberal guy right wing not shy past sins of the other forgiven for the greater good a bigger threat lunges menacing both America is all but lost diehard Islamist the killer what did we do I mean . . . who knew creeping crud across our land women haters one and all at least those who do not wear veils and those praying not to Allah found a back door into America it was called apathy what can be done they took our guns it happened slowly stealthily across the land a smile a nod we’re not like the terrorists, they said smiling benign smiles they took us in with lies and grins while the ACLU was busy kicking Christians in the teeth no school prayer no this and no that but they built their mosque they live under sharia they came with hate to sit and wait we watched and nodded smiled, said naught as they infiltrated our schools where Christ was not allowed we were told to look the other way they are peaceful, don’t you know we gave to them their every whim and now they are standing by ready to strike no longer smiling they’re beating their chests with centuries’ old élan sneering at The Great Satan for their deceit tanks on Main Street ©January 5, 2016 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

powerful stark poem, speaking of the truth of terrors that creep among us, we turn our heads away, not knowing they have grown horns on their heads. |

Thanks Eric, for the video. He spoke for me, and that's for sure. We are in this mess because of politicians, because if it had been left up to the common man it would have never happened, at least not the way it has been ramrodded down our throats. Politicians, for the most part, I am certain, are incapable of thinking for the good of the people. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

Once an individual has arrived at the conclusion that the action he/she is going to carry out an attack which involves the certainty of their own death, then there’s virtually nothing that can be done to stop them. Although it’s by no way a direct compression, America has yet to find an answer to the annual rate of massacres that occur every 64 days on average. Don’t misunderstand me, all I’m saying is once an individual has the means and mindset to carry out these crimes, then there’s little that can be done to prevent them happening. Terrorists operate in small cells in countries other than their own because it’s the only way they can operate. The only defence against their activities is intelligence i.e. infiltration of the cells, surveillance and the collection of world wide information. A final thought. To even think that the vast majority of the two and a half million Americans of the Islamic faith are potential terrorists is ridiculous. No truer than the Italian immigrants to America in the 1930s were all members of the mafia. Yes we all have gut reactions to these horrific crimes but we have to be careful to direct our feelings to those who are responsible and not to the innocent members who happen to share the same religion. Because that is exactly the reaction they are looking for, they see that their crimes are excused by other crimes. Is the blog a true reflection of British views? Well, this article today rather suggests it isn’t. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-35898543 |
