"Islam's LAST Chance"--(Make up your minds)
5/11/04 | redrock

Posted on 05/11/2004 8:13:57 PM PDT by redrock

We're a little different....we Americans. Full of hope and life...wanting nothing more than to live a good,decent life...and pass on to our children the Freedom and chance to betterment that we ourselves have had.

We don't want to conquer the world...we don't want to even own the idiot thing. We watch dumb t.v. shows...and ,sometimes, even dumber movies. All with the expectation of trying to enjoy a couple of hours of leisure..and,really,doing nothing important.

And yet...we also aspire to goodness...and ,maybe, just a little greatness (always with the small 'g'). We TRY to do good the world over. We TRY to help our fellow man...to Free him...to show him that there IS a better way of life. We TRY to show our fellow dwellers on this rock that Freedom...the power to choose for oneself...is so priceless that it is worth fighting for.

Oh,for sure, we DO have our share of 'bad' people. Those who will commit acts of savagry or abuse against other Americans....or Iraqi's for that matter. We DO have people here who will commit all sorts of crime.....BUT...we also have the knowledge that when they are caught...MOST,if not all, will be punished.

But,most Americans, are just normal average people who go to work...pay their bills....raise their children.

Never forget....we are the 'Good Guys'.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have watched for the last year....the reporting of Americans being killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. (doing nothing more than trying to help fellow human beings). I have watched the burnt out vehicles along the roadside...I have seen the burnt and dismembered bodies of Americans being dragged thru the streets and hung from a bridge...all to the tune of dancing men and children chanting about how Allah is great.

I've watched for the last week...the unending circus about the abuses ,done by some, at a prison in Iraq. I have NOT liked what happened there...I have liked even less watching all the newspeople and politicians making asses of themselves in some sort of weird game of 'one-upmanship'. (after all...to BECOME a politician...you have to an ass anyway...and newspeople aren't much further up the ladder)

...and today, I have watched the moving pictures of a young American being beheaded.

I watched the Islamic Terrorists raise his head towards the camera...to try and instill fear in my heart. In the hearts of my friends. In the hearts of my children.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I got news for them.

I don't scare that easy.

WE don't scare that easy.

I have written before....there is a cancer in the world today. Eating away at basic human decency. Eating away at Freedom...trying to return us to those glorious days of yesterday...where the Rulers of Islam could decide your life and death on a whim.

I have also said that UNLESS the so-called moderate Islam stands up and helps us fight those who do such savagry as I witnessed today...then they are no better than those who beheaded that young American.

Moderate Islam has a choice.

Life or death.

Choose life...and the rewards will be great. But it WILL take you getting invovled in actually fighting the Islamic Terrorists. It WILL take you standing up on your hindlegs and actually voicing your opposition to the Osama's of the world. It WILL take you discovering your testicles.

There is a cancer among us...and it is Islamic Terrorism.

...and if moderate Islam wants to just sit on the sideline then we will consider that you have chosen death.

...and we will help you get there.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

God Bless the United States of America....and God Bless the Soldiers who are protecting her.

I can't speak for anyone but me.

But I keep hearing that there is a 'Moderate Islam'...that doesn't agree with the Terrorists.

I've been patient...but I never see them protesting the Terrorists acts.

I think I've run out of patience.

They NEED to speak up..to act in defense of this Nation..or they need to get out.

AMEN Brother!
They just don't understand that the US Military is the best in the world.
And they do just fine without the media or politicians.

I hope you don't get banned.

Nice post and I totally agree. I don't understand why we're trying to give these Muslims asshats their freedom in Iraq as they clearly aren't appreciative of our efforts. From car bombings to roadside crap to civilian beheadings - civvies who were there to HELP - to the rest of the apathetic population that does nothing to assist themselves in getting out of the gutter of Saddam's way of life - these morons don't know a good thing when they see it.

I say drop MOABs on the known towns harboring Muslime and then bring our troops back to patrol our own borders. I didn't care about them in March 2004, 2003, 1993 or back. They obviously don't want our freedom enough to take advantage of the opportunity we've provided them with AMERICAN BLOOD so I see no reason to waste any more lives on these pathetic, useless, unappreciative people.

And well, if I too get banned, it's been fun.
