Pick & Choose
In the same week as the Charlie Hebdo massacre took place in Paris, killing 12 people by islamists; while 2000 people were slaughtered in Nigeria by the taliban group Boca Haram.
The world was outraged by the killing in France, but hardly any response to what happened in Nigeria.
Boca Haram was formed in 2009 by the taliban in order to take over the oil fields in Nigeria and bring sharia law to that country by any means, including mass killings.
Around the world there were mass demonstrations over the killings in France, but no one is speaking up about the Nigerian atrocity.
Apparently all killings are not equal.   We get to pick which ones we're upset about.   I don't understand this kind of thinking.   Aren't all lives precious ?   Is it allright for islamists to kill in one area and not another ?    How do we choose which ones to get excited about ?   Why don't we get told about the other bombings and killings done by islamists in other countries ?
Are we giving permission for islamists to continue their terror without accountability in some parts of the world and not others ?   Is there some agreement (or conspiracy) by the press to only report on a limited number of islamic attacks ?   If so, which ones ?
The bottom line is that islamic terrorists are everywhere (including the USA) and nothing is being done about it until they act first.   Then, and only then is something done, and only to those that med their deeds of terrorism.   All government agencies have "watch lists" and know who most of these terrorists are and where they are.   Why can't we eliminate the threat before their actions take place ?
At least in Europe (motivated by the attack on Charlie Hebdo) they're starting to round up those that are suspected terrorists.   In this country, we occasionally thwart a terrorist attack just before it comes to fruition.   We won't go after others on our "watch list" until it might be too late.
Does someone you know or a family member becomes a victim of this terrorism; or another 9/11 takes place before you insist that terrorists be rounded up in America ?   Or, do you have your "head in the sand" and think that it won't happen here (or to you) ?   You are not told about the planned attacks around this country that have been thwarted (so far) in order to not disturb you.   It's just a matter of time before some of these terrorists are successful with their plans; and then it'll be after the fact.
We don't know when or where they will kill more Americans, but the way we're trying to prevent it will eventually prove to be a failure.   No one is safe, from the largest city to the smallest town.   It can happen in your neighbor hood as early as tomorrow.
Speak up...insist on those even remotely suspected of this potential behavior be rounded up.
I know, you think that it's a violation of civil rights...just remember Roosevelt rounding up the Japanese during WWII.   Sure, a lot of law abiding citizens were put in those internment camps because we couldn't tell the "good ones" from those that meant us harm.
It's time to repeat this with the muslims in this country.

Freedom of Speech

It seems that we are having a problem with Freedom of Speech.
Just because one has a freedom to do something doesn't mean that they have to exercise that freedom.   It's just there for when we need it.
When a cartoon of Jesus is published, or a person makes a derogatory remark about Moses or Buddha, one make see it as offensive but not to the point of murder or mayhem. It's the "reasonable man principle", which says, "What would a REASONABLE person do about this ?"
Regarding the political ideology (not a religion) of Islam, if you've read the Koran, it shows that Islam is about war and subservience, not about peace and tolerance.   So, therefore, one can expect that Muslims will react for any reason in order to further their goal of world domination.
They, not we...have declared a religious war against mankind.
The press and social media have been politically correct in getting us to believe that it's only a radical few that are waging this war.   The truth is that all Muslims are dedicated to making Islam the only "religion" on earth.
This war will be ongoing for your entire lifetime unless something radically and politically incorrect is done about it.   An ideology that promotes the murder of all non-believers should not be allowed to be practiced in our country.   If they want to observe Islam in the Middle East, fine...that's their freedom.   But when it threatens me, and all of my fellow Americans, it's time to act.  
The press glorifies these people as "Lone Wolf" radicals.   That's ridiculous.   They are acting on either directives from ISIS, Al Quada, Hezbollah, etc. or from the propaganda on the internet or in magazines like Inspire.
I know, we have freedom of religion in America.   We also have freedom of speech.
Just as you are not allowed to yell "FIRE" in a theater (no longer a freedom of speech), Islam (not being a religion) should be made illegal.   Go into any mosque, on any given day and you will hear hate speech, anti-American ideas, and be amongst those that may be the next bomber or shooter to cause Americans, Christians, Jews, etc. to die.
It's time that you face the TRUTH...

Free College.............WOW !

President Obama announced today that he wants everyone to be able to go to college for free.
This would certainly be a wonderful opportunity for many students that can't afford to further their education.
When I went to College, there were no grants, no student assistance, no student loans, no family contributions, etc.   I worked and went to school full time.   I graduated in four years with a degree, no debt and no one to thank but me.
His plan is that one must maintain a C+ average and advance in their area of study and be at least a part time student.   The term of the freebie would be two years at a Community College.
This would be paid for by 75% of federal funds (your tax dollars) and the states (more of your tax dollars) would pay the other 25%.
I think that it's great that the President wants everyone to have the opportunity to go to college.
Now let's examine the details:
(1) A two year degree gets you very little in today's workplace.
(2) An average of C+ is anything but average at best.
(3) Going part time means that you won't even complete a two year course in less than four years; and who pays for those last two years ?
(4) Tuition is only 20-25% of the cost of going to college.
(5) Statistics show that less than 50% of students ever complete a Community College program.
(6) Why should the states have to pick up part of the tab ?
(7) Isn't our government far enough in debt (over $17 trillion) to be adding another expenditure to its budget ?

I've got an idea..............
Before Obama gives away any more of your money, I'd like to propose an experiment.
Since Obama is a multimillionaire, why doesn't he put up his own money and sponsor a few inner-city students from Chicago.   He could afford to pick up their costs at a local four year college where they can get a full degree (not an Associate, but a Bachelors Degree).
If these students finish the four years (in four years) and become productive members of society in their chosen field of study, then I'd say the program looks like it works and we could revisit Obama's original plan.
But let him put his money where his mouth is first, instead of putting up your money.

Haven't you got it yet ???

Now  that the muslims are exercising their agenda in France, we are again seeing what their koran demands of them.
Even though the Liberals and "politically correct" espouse that these are just a few "radical muslims", it appears that more and more muslims are "radical".
Somehow, the rules are different for them than the rest of us.   They can kill, maim, behead, commit suicide, find any excuse to "take revenge", etc.   The rest of us have to wait until they do an act of terrorism before we act.   And even when we do act, they are given rights, trials, humane treatment, legal representation, etc.
When are we going to WAKE UP ???   The koran demands that all muslims either convert, enslave or murder all non believers.   Therefore, a "good" muslim is practicing his (or her) religion when they do any terrorist act.
Any muslim not observing their "faith" is a bad muslim.   Any muslim observing their "faith" is a BAD muslim.   The bottom line is that THERE ARE NO GOOD MUSLIMS.
It's time for the world to eliminate this ideology that is misrepresented as a religion.   Islam is NOT a religion of love and tolerance.   Once you realize this, you will understand their propaganda.
If someone in my neighborhood is shooting at my neighbors, I must assume that I may be next.   A preemptive strike becomes mandatory before anyone else (including me) becomes another victim.
Anyone that thinks islam should not be eliminated is a fool that's putting your life at risk.
If we do nothing about this so called religion, it will only take a generation (or less) before you, your children and grandchildren are either dead or living by sharia law.   Is that what you want ?
If not, then act now to cut out this cancer called islam.
Remember...there are no good muslims..........................

My New Year's Resolution !

For 2015, I've decided that I am not going to pay attention to anyone “sniveling” about why they “can't” do something.

I've reflected about the past year and in almost every instance that I came across, the person was not willing to do the work, put in the time or take responsibility for their part of the problem.

My company (Solutions Inc.) has found that almost every problem has a solution. In order to realize the outcome desired, choices have to be made.

I've never seen a situation that didn't have choices.

So, if you find that you've reached a barrier or “road block” in your life that's preventing you from something, look inward and see how you are responsible and what needs to be done. There is a thing that I call “victim mentality”, that's where one can show why their problem is someone else's fault and there is nothing they can do about it. They would rather complain, bitch, snivel and blame anyone or anything, and give up.

Don't be like that. In this new year (2015), I challenge you to overcome the problems in your life by taking responsibility for your participation in them; find solutions, make the better choices and be successful.

I wish all of you THE BEST OF THE BEST in 2015.

                                       Happy New Year
