Rattlesnake Logic
Now the news media will spend days trying to determine why these men did what they did in Boston. They will want to know what America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They will want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something unlawful. The media will be in a tizzy about the new era of home grown radicals and about how they could live among us and still hate us.
Here in west Texas, I have rattlesnakes on my place. 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. I kill every rattlesnake I encounter. I kill rattlesnakes because a rattlesnake will bite me and inflict me with poison. I dont stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me. It will bite me because it is a rattlesnake and that is what rattlesnakes do. I dont try to reason with a rattlesnake I just kill it.
I dont try to get to know the rattlesnake better so that I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me . . . I just kill them. I dont quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are because (a) it wont tell me (b) I already know that they live on my place. I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one. I dont look for ways that I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake. I just kill it.
Oh, and on occasion I kill a rat snake, because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know that for every rattlesnake that I kill, two more lurk out there. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No! Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes! And because of that respect I give them their fair justice . . . I kill them!
Maybe as a country we should give more credit to the jihadist just being a rattlesnake! Jihadists are pretty honest in telling us we are infidels and they must kill us. Why do we have such a hard time believing them?
I can relate to that story. Reminds me of my friends and I when we were young and dumb.
Moral of the story: Let dying rattlesnakes lie...
Shoot, shovel, shut up...
That was a very well-written piece. I enjoyed every factual and truthful word of it.
Thanks for the ping...amptly put I’d say.
Ties right in with the article posted.
That song was the first thing that popped into my head when I read the article. It’s funny how there is a song that somehow fits everything in life. But I guess that is what songs are, aren’t they? Moments in life.
Last Day At Work: New Job Starts Tomorrow -
Just thought I’d let you know I did appreciate our time together but, I have to move along for better things.
I was sitting at a long stoplight yesterday, minding my own business patiently waiting for it to turn green even though there was no on-coming traffic. A carload of bearded, young, loud Muslims, shouting Anti-American slogans, with a half-burned American Flag duct-taped on the trunk of their car and a “Remember 9-11” slogan spray painted on the side, was stopped next to me.
Suddenly they yelled, “Allahu Akbar! Praise Allah!” and took off before the light changed. Out of nowhere an 18-wheeler came speeding through the intersection and ran directly over their car, crushing it completely and killing everyone in it.
For several minutes I sat in my car thinking to myself, “Man....that could have been me!”
So today, bright and early, I went out and got a job as a truck driver.
Just got that in a email this morning! LOL!
Here’s the Free Syrian Army we’re arming and our people are dying for:
ahhhh....”Moments in life”....aint’t that the truth...
I never heard that as a song...rather as a story in Sunday School. It stuck!
For someone who has never ate rattlesnake meat how does it taste ? chicken ? like shark meat ?
Tastes like...rattlesnake. Sorry couldn’t resist but it is good grilled. To me, not worth the trouble for the small amount of meat but if someone else goes to the trouble I will eat it.
:P
I've heard that it tastes exactly like that, but what does jihadi meat taste like? (not that I really want to know....)
News Flash!....Cameron’s coming out swinging against Moslem Preachers and Recruiters!!!
Cameron is planning new powers to muzzle Islamic hate preachers accused of provoking terrorist outrages such as the killing of soldier Lee Rigby.
The Prime Minister wants to stop extremist clerics using schools, colleges, prisons and mosques to spread their poison and is to head a new Tackling Extremism and Radicalisation Task Force (TERFOR) made up of senior Ministers, MI5, police and moderate religious leaders.
The high-powered group will study a number of measures, including banning extremist clerics from being given public platforms to incite students, prisoners and other followers and forcing mosque leaders to answer for hate preachers.

Great e-mail with many truths.
Only one thing left out..a rattler will warn you before it stikes.
A jihadist will not.
The easiest way to look like you’re doing something while doing nothing is to employ a ‘taskforce’. Britain is too far over the edge to go back now. They’ve waited too long. They’ve disarmed their citizens. They have run G-d out of their country in favor of allah. They have allowed shariah in muslim areas and allowed it to be used in their own courts. Worse times ahead if they try to do something about it now. muslims will NEVER gove up the power they have arrained in England...especially with that twit, charles, having converted.
Female Black Widow Suicide Bomber Blows Herself Up In Dagestan, 18 Injured
Sadly I think you’re right...but am not so sure the people will stand down this time...regardless what the Moslems want or refuse to give up.
I think at best the most Cameron will do is ‘contain’ the Moslems in their communities, like they do the scum in cities.....you simply isolate the areas and hope the majority of them turn on each other.
Wishful thinking perhaps...but they are so entrenched now in Britain...there are few, if any, workable options.
Do you really think nitwit Charles converted?
