This month's "Big Cup of Dumbass" award.....

And the winner is......The un-named U.S. soldier serving in Iraq who thought it would be a good idea to shoot up a copy of the Koran during target practice.....Come on boys and girls, you're in a part of the world that has been inherently violent for over 6,000 years.....The vast majority of their laws are tied directly to their religion, and they are still fighting "The Crusades" 800 years after the original events. USE SOME COMMON SENSE!!!!!

and while I'm at it.....HEY OBAMA, grow some thicker skin.....not everything is about you. While Bush's comments about "appeasement" were far more likely being directed at Jimmy Carter, it wouldn't hurt you to remember (or study) some history. Probably the best (and one of the more recent) example of the failure in negotiating with single minded whack-jobs is Neville Chamberlain negotiating with Hitler.....We all know how that turned out.....Ask the Russians how thrilled they were to have 40,000,000 people die during WWII.....Or ask the next Jewish person you run into. And don't EVER give me that "hindsight is 20/20" crap.....If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.....it ain't no damn horse.

What I can't understand with Liberals in general is how on God's Green Earth they can think that if we are all warm and fuzzy with people that hate us everything will be okay.....Their tunnel-visioned, high-minded view of the world is stunning to me in it's naivete'. Good, bad, or indifferent most other cultures do NOT share our world view and to think that they would or should is hopelessly arrogant. In our own country there are many issues that divide us so deeply that the chasm cannot not be breached. The problem with many who hold a liberal philosphy is that they are so convinced of their own superiority they are blind to other points of view, and to disagree with them is to be looked down upon as somehow inferior, not as intellectual, and in many cases less than a person.

I was appalled by Obama's "Guns and Religion" comments. I don't own any firearms, and I do not attend church, but I am very conservative when it comes to fiscal issues, and I understand (which he seems not to) that if we do not limit the role of government then the tax burden will be borne by the very people he claims to want to help.....This blindness leads us further down the path towards Socialism and the further separation of classes.....

All of these people in politics need to re-read Orwell's "1984".....And make sure they understand what they are doing to our nation, because it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that we are moving towards a nation not so different from Oceania in "1984", or Soviet Russia in our real world where you had "the elite class" of party members, and the rest of us.....the proletariat.....

I don't believe that most liberals care since they seem convinced that their intellectual superiority will guarantee party membership, but most guys like me just want to work for a living to try to provide a good life for their families and have the government hold to the promises of the Constitution.....

It's easy to be Liberal if you are rich.....or young with few expenses and an ideology that out-weighs your common sense. Try being working middle class for awhile and see if that changes how you look at things.....I know for alot of people it does, we just never get any press coverage because we are too busy working to pay the taxes that run the country.....and.....there's not enough blood or glamour in that to make good copy.

Good day!
