In the 60's I was a big time patriotic supporter of everything the government did, and stood for. I wrote letters to the local newspaper, spoke out against Jane Fonda when she came to Fort Hood, and cheered for John Wayne in "The Green Berets." I was a nincompoop! Looking back with what we now know we were suckered into a war where we had absolutely no business whatsoever. The reasoning was, at the time, if Vietnam falls to communism the entire Asian rim will soon follow. Well, it did fall, and other than catfish it made no difference at all to the state of the world. Even the Chinese, who used to be communist before they met Steve Jobs, don't give a crap about this turd hanging off the side of the continent.
Now, yet again, we are presented with a situation in some foreign land where we are charging in and trying to blend McDonald's with boiled goat. Let my insensitive ass be perfectly up front here. I don't give a damn about anything in the Middle East, and I'm an equal opportunity hater. I have the same lack of respect for Jerusalem as I do for Mecca. I think they are all overblown in the news and we spend far too much time worrying about which was the camel is gonna jump. But, that having been said, here we go again.
President Obama has signed an order to provide aid to rebels in Syria.
What are his reasons? Oh, thats right, he suspects that the government of Syria used chemical weapons. Ok, I'm impressed. That sounds enough like a human rights violation. But hey Prez baby, what about our allies, them good ol' boys down in Mecca who will stone a teenage girl to death for wearing lipstick? We rub elbows with them all them time, even when they provide 19 highjackers for Osama Bin Forgotten, smiling in their Sunday sheets. What about them fellers?
If you try to get involved in camel dung politics you will end up with smelly hands They all hate each other, and they especially hate us. They have so many interpretations of the Qu'ran you'd think they were Southern Baptists, and brothers and sisters, they do ALL look alike! Can I have an "Amen?" Ask yourself, do you honestly like anything about the Middle East? Oh, my bad, they have oil, and if we don't defend American interests over yonder then they won't have no money. The MEXICANS have oil, and Mexican girls are beautiful! No Mexican village ever stoned a teenage girl for looking good in a pair or Levis!
I had an epiphany last night. I was sitting on the back porch having a ham sandwich when a voice called unto me. And the voice said, "Psssst!" So I walked up to the voice, and I said, "What?" And the voice got holy, and powerful, and resounded-duh. And the voice said, "There is something fundamentally wrong with people who won't eat a ham sandwich!" (Apologies to Richard Pryor.) But we will get tangled up in a brand new mess. We will send guns and bullets, but no Bibles, cause they don't allow that over there. They will fight their little war, kill the leader, and then the rag head, oh, sorry, rag tag winners will form a government, institute Sharia Law, and start exporting more idiots to our shores to further disrupt our cell phone service.
See why I support the Republic of Texas? I'm not nuts. I'm just a simple old boy from Austin who looks at Mexico and realizes that what happens in Mecca, or Jerusalem doesn't affect the price of tacos one Peso! I like tacos. I believe if we formed said republic, drilled our own oil, took care of our own people, and ate our own food this country might be better off. Bottom line is this; supporting a war anywhere in the Middle East is NOT fighting for our freedom. NEVER using a Verizon phone again is fighting for our freedom. Deactivating the IRS is fighting for our freedom. Jailing every CPS worker who ever falsified evidence against a young mother in order to steal, and sell her baby, now THAT'S fighting for freedom! Insuring that Al Shaka Boo Boo can comfortably have sex with his fourteen year old "wives" is fighting windmills.
Can I have an, "Amen?"
