Sadly, due to the times in which we live, and due to the nature of the enemies that we face, I have determined that the last 3” 00 magnum shell that I own is for me. I am in charge of my fate.

Halfway down the trail to hell
In a shady meadow green,
Are the souls of all dead troopers camped
Near a good old-time canteen
And this eternal resting place
Is known as Fiddler's Green.

Marching past, straight through to hell,
The infantry are seen,
Accompanied by the Engineers,
Artillery and Marine,
For none but the shades of Cavalrymen
Dismount at Flddlers' Green.

Though some go curving down the trail
To seek a warmer scene,
No trooper ever gets to Hell
Ere he's emptied his canteen,
And so rides back to drink agaln
With friends at Fiddlers' Green.

And so when man and horse go down
Beneath a saber keen,
Or in a roaring charge or fierce melee
You stop a bullet clean,
And the hostiles come to get your scalp,
Just empty your canteen,
And put your pistol to your head
And go to Fiddlers' Green.

Thus is the true root of Islamic terrorism that Western Illuminati in the press, academia and government dare not name:

“...Remember that they are cowards. Suicide, no matter how many innocent people you take with you is a sign of weakness. They are so afraid of the impotence and ineffectuality of their culture and their pathetic individual enslavement to the honor/shame drama of that culture that they are willing to sacrifice (and you!) to avoid the shame. They will murder you gladly rather than admit that they do not have the moral fiber to see how purile and ineffectual their society is....”

They cannot compete with us or even co-exist with us because their culture is fundamentally flawed — Islam has not yet undergone a Reformation that includes a realization that finite beings cannot presume to know the will of the Infinite, much less act on the Almighty’s behalf.

Those who do so commit the most egregious of blasphemies in mere thought and great evil in action.

This is not an aberration, it is Islam’s very nature until a Reformation comes. Appeasement only diminishes that (remote) possibility.

“..you are going to have to fight as hard as you can, for as long as you can if you want to have any hope of surviving.”

And Obama wants us to give up our firearms.

Would you not consider that suicide, and therefore a sin (maybe the worst)?

These rat bastards underestimate the hatred here for them. If you get all the weak knee politicians and whack left out of the way...Just give us a little warning when you are coming so we can lock and load and show you what happens when you come to our house to kill us.....

is there a complete detailed and factual time line story about this attack out yet. So far all I’ve seen are snipets, conjectures, journalist self-promotion and confused reports.

Thanks for posting, and heartfelt prayers for the people and families of those who were tortured and murdered. Prayers for our friends of Israel and prayers for you, Yaacov.

I had to learn to “compartmentalize” bumper stickers and soft-headed, liberal notions not so long ago ~ really just after the attacks on 9/11. I had switched from libertarian to conservative several years before, but there was always a strain of what I felt to be “compassion” and desire for dialog and understanding, even when I strongly opposed the world views of those whom I disagreed with.

It was really just a phony sense of nobility and elitism; of pretending to be “big enough” to accept the opinions of individuals with whom I did not agree, as though “two sides to every story” could be borne out to mean that there were more than one correct way to view injustice.

That is actually intellectually lazy, naive and immature.

There is really no logic to such a mindset, therefore if and when you might attempt to place such ideas in a rational construct it can never really be done. So, I no longer attempt it any more. I will speak with individuals about such topics, one to one. I don't become angry or animated or emotional, as I used to do, but instead simply try to approach such dialog with reason and logic. At times that can be difficult.

I'm not morbidly curious, but I wonder if a description of what was done to these people will ever come out? I wonder if it would do anything to move the hearts and minds of those who simply pass this by as just another tragedy of the day?

Nothing more, nothing less.
