Does Yesterday Matter?

.
As every moment passes it becomes part of history and each completed day becomes yesterday. But does yesterday really matter?

Does it matter now that Adam ate fruit that was forbidden? Does it matter now that the Jews escaped from enslavement in Egypt, or that Moses read them the Ten Commandments?

Does it matter now that America was settled by people seeking freedom, or that someone in your family tree immigrated here from somewhere else? Does it matter now that people from Africa were brought here as slaves, but were later freed?

Does it matter now what Adolf Hitler did in 70 years ago, or how Japan brought us into World War II? What about the killing of thousands of civilians with two atomic bombs, or by four hijacked airplanes many years later?

Does it matter now whether you were the first in your family to obtain a college education, or the firstborn son to carry on the family name? Does it matter now that your best friend died in the war, or that you lost a sibling far too soon?

Does it matter now if you took a single semester of drafting in high school, or that you forgot Mother’s Day so many times? Does it matter now if you ever raised a chicken, owned a pet, or planted a garden?

Would it matter now if your home was destroyed by a flood or fire, or lost to foreclosure. Does it matter now if you smoked dope a long time ago, or that you sang a song with your child?

Some say, "That was Yesterday, and Yesterday is gone." What say you? Take the poll to the left.

Well, Do SOMETHING.........

.
Talk about it. At work. At church. With your neighbors. Even with the people begging on the streets. Do something!!

Islamic History 101

.
As we delve back in time a bit, let's look at the threat of Islam to America beyond the context of terrorism, which most of you seem not to understand.

Islam’s history has shown that there is symbolism in choosing where mosques are built. Muslims don't just pick any old place. Past history records that mosques are built on sites of military victories, where Islam can celebrate their triumph over all other religions.

A mosque was built in Jerusalem right on top of King Solomon’s Temple. A mosque in Damascus was built over the church of St. John the Baptist. And there are thousands of mosques built on the footprints of Hindu Temples in India.

Although America does not have a single predominant religion, Muslims believe our “religion” is capitalism, taking down the World Trade Center was like the conquering Constantinople. And, there is no doubt in my mind that building a mosque near Ground Zero in Islam's trophy over the infidels in America.

Muslims all over the world will celebrate the great victory and use it to build even more hatred against us while recruiting for jihad. And so their threat against America will be even greater.

Take a closer look at the reality that Islamic ideology. It is fundamentally against all values of liberty and justice as practiced in America. Examine sharia law, which is what Muslims are striving to obtain world wide (if you need help, comment and I'll give your Sharia Law 101).

Some people in America, but not nearly enough, are standing against building a mosque at Ground Zero out of respect for the 9/11 victims, but that is not my only concern. Morley, I am concerned about the advance of Islam in America. It is our fastest growing religion. It is overtaking our prisons, invading our schools, and controlling our government. It needs to stop!

You must realize that the same ideology that produces a terrorist, also produces what some people call a moderate Muslim who is dedicated to the advancement and imposition of sharia law. They differ only in the means to the end, not the end itself.

They are all evil.

Base to Bus Two

.
In Those days, I can't remember ever taking a bus to or from school. I guess we lived either close enough to walk or ride a bicycle. But I did ride a school bus a few times on a field trip or to a sports event.

Things are different today. Now I am a school bus driver, well actually a substitute drive for the time being. And I made my first route just the other day. I guess retired folks are constantly trying to find ways to enjoy the rest of this temporary life. Some turn to gardening, or wood working, or painting, and even golf. Not me... I wanted to be a school bus driver!

I was called to do the afternoon route. It's the one that you pick up the students at the schools and transport them home. It's different from the morning route because the stops are obvious when you see the kids waiting at the curb. And they are all sleepy and bummed that that have to go to school. So the sit quietly for the duration of the trip. It is almost easy.

Not so in the afternoon. Then, they are all fired up. About 80 of them. Can't wait to get home after being cooped up all day. They are loud. They are excited. They shout. Some fight and argue, and some try to talk to the driver as he tries to spot the next stop. And on top of that, you have your boss on the radio trying to iron out the kinks.

"Base to Bus Two. A parent reports that her child didn't get off at her designated stop. Do you still have Tina, a kindergarten student on board?" So, over the noise of the students, the traffic, and trying to spot the next drop site, I have to locate Tina. Well, she wasn't there. I didn't have any kindergartners. So the boss demands that I pull off and check rather than just making an announcement over the bus intercom, while looking in that huge rear view mirror.

So I did, and as the bus came to a stop, a kid screams, "Hey mister, my house is way back there!" So by then, I still had no Tina, but I did have another kid who's stop was a quarter mile back, and about 60 more that just wanted to get home.

Well, I survived. They survived. Tina was on Bus 9 like she was supposed to be, and the other kid had to wait until my route was finished before I returned to his stop.

Tough job, but some body has to do it. Support your local school bus driver.

Let's talk about Race

.
Patrick J. Buchanan asked me to help spread the word. It seems that the Long Legged MacDaddy is encouraging Americans to have a conversation about race. So here it is! He writes:

Fair enough. But this time, it has to be a two-way conversation. White America needs to be heard from, not just lectured to. This time, the Silent Majority needs to have its convictions, grievances and demands heard. And among them are these:

First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Reverend Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American.

Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the ' 60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.

Governments, businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks -- with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas -- to advance black applicants over white applicants.

Churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated their time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.

We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude? Barack talks about new 'ladders of opportunity' for blacks. Let him go to Altoona ? And Johnstown , and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for 'deserving' white kids...?

Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America ? Is it really white America 's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent? Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime, and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims 3 percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time? Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse, that black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?

We have all heard ad nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena . And all turned out to be hoaxes. But about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing.

Sorry, Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago. This needs to be passed around because, this is a message everyone needs to hear!!!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Entirely Irrelevant

.
I'm not sure who the author of the following article is. It was one of many that was filtered through the Thought Dock portal and it drives home the message of many of my prior posts.
The references to past history are accurate and clear.

Aman, whose family was German aristocracy prior to World WarII, owned a number of large industries and estates. When asked how many German people were true Nazis, the answer he gave can guide our attitude toward fanaticism.

A German's View

Very few people were true Nazis, but many enjoyed the return of German pride, and many more were too busy to care. I was one of those who just thought the Nazis were a bunch of fools. So, the majority just sat back and let it all happen. Then, before we knew it, they owned us, we had lost control, and our world ended.

We are told again and again by "experts" and the "talking heads" 'that Islam is the religion of peace and that the vast majority of Muslims just want to live in peace. Although this unqualified assertion may be true, it is entirely irrelevant. It is meaningless fluff, meant to make us feel better, and meant to somehow diminish the spectre off anatics rampaging across the globe in the name of Islam.

The fact is that the fanatics rule Islam at this moment in history. It is the fanatics who march. It is the fanatics who wage any one of 50 shooting wars worldwide. It is the fanatics who systematically slaughter Christian or tribal groups throughout Africa and are gradually taking over the entire continent in an Islamic wave.

It is the fanatics who bomb, behead, murder, or honor-kill. It is the fanatics who take over mosque after mosque. It is the fanatics who zealously spread the stoning and hanging of rape victims and homosexuals. It is the fanatics who teach their young to kill and to become suicide bombers. The hard, quantifiable fact is that the peaceful majority, the "vast silent majority," is cowed and extraneous.

Communist Russia was comprised of Russians who just wanted to live inpeace, yet the Russian Communists were responsible for the murder of 40 million people. The peaceful, vast majority were irrelevant.

China'shuge population was peaceful as well, but Chinese Communists managed to kill a staggering 70 million people.

The average Japanese individual prior to World War II was not a war mongering sadist. Yet, Japan murdered and slaughtered itsway across South East Asia in an orgy of killing that included the systematic murder of 12 million Chinese civilians; most killed by sword, shovel, and bayonet.

And who can forget Rwanda , which collapsed into butchery. Could it not be said that the vast majority of Rwandans were "peaceloving"?

History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: Peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don't speak up, because like my friend from Germany , they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end oftheir world will have begun.

Peace-loving Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Russians, Rwandans, Serbs, Afghans, Iraqis, Palestinians, Somalis, Nigerians, Algerians, and many others have died because the peacefulmajority did not speak up until it was too late.

As for us who watch it all unfold, we must pay attention to the only group that counts--the fanatics who threaten our way of life!

From my perspective, most of us fail to link the ideology of Islamism to acts of jihad. Jihadists do what they do because they believe in the call to jihad. Our belief that they will assimilate or become part of the melting pot we call America simply will not happen. It is the opinion of the Thought Dock that to take the attitude of see no jihad, hear no jihad, and speak no jihad, will result with the end of life in America as we know it.

I'm American too?

.
Reprinted article from the Accsociated Press 9/12/2010

NEW YORK — Nine years of denouncing terrorism, of praying side-by-side with Jews and Christians, of insisting "I'm American, too." None of it could stop a season of hate against Muslims that made for an especially fraught Sept. 11. Now, Muslims are asking why their efforts to be accepted in the United States have been so easily thwarted.

"We have nothing to apologize for, we have nothing to fear, we have nothing to be ashamed of, we have nothing that we're guilty of — but we need to be out there and we need to express this," said Imam Mohammed Ibn Faqih in a sermon at the Islamic Institute of Orange County in Anaheim, Calif., the day before the 9/11 anniversary. "There is no simple way for American Muslims to move forward."

Are you kidding me? Nothing to apologize for? What about your following of a flawed and corrupted Kuran that advocates violence against anyone who does not follow it's doctrine and theology? Nothing to be ashamed for? What about murdering your own people in the name of allah? Nothing to be guilty of? What about the rockets you send into elementary schools killing Jewish children in Israel, or the Twin Towers, or the many other acts of terror around the world?

Well there is a way for American Muslims to move forward! They should denounce their religion and live peacefully with the rest of our world. I just hope they live after doing it though!
.

We are not at war with Islam?

.
Well, they keep on saying it. "We are not at war with Islam. We are at war with terrorism." Bush said it. The MacMuslim says it. They all say it. They lie.

Well, who then are we at war with? Who then is killing our population? Who then is destroying our way of life? Who then is planning to build a trophy mosque at the base of the Twin Towers which they destroyed and murdered thousands?

Oh... the terrorists. The radicals. The extremists. Well, who are they? They are ALL Muslims. And, Muslims are of Islam. Muslims collect funding at their mosques, declare it tax free and send it to support those that actually strap on their bomb vests to kill our people.

Terrorists are not Christians. They are not Jews. Nor are they Buddhists. Catholics, Mormons, Baptists, and not even the Jehovahs wear bomb vests. Only the Muslims do, and they have been engaged in terrorism since biblical times. And Muslims are Islam.

We ARE at war against Islam. Or at least we should be. Call it what it is.

Burn the Plan?

.
I hoping that all of you have a plan before you do anything. If not, plans are everywhere now days, and most are easily obtained for next to nothing. Diet plans, home building plans, repair manuals, get rich plans, increase your sexual performance; the list goes on and on; some good; many not so.

Now, if you get a plan and introduce it to someone else, that starts a conspiracy. And if the conspiracy is to, for example, rob a bank, and you buy the ski mask as it calls for in Step 1, then you have consummated a conspiracy to commit a felony and you could face the same penalty that applies to bank robbery even though you never got that far...... Get it?

So, who do you blame for that naughty scenario? Is it the one who wrote that evil plan, the one who distributed it, the one who obtained it and shared it with his friend, the one who took the first step to carry out the plan, or the actual plan itself?

You know, Islam has a plan. The Kuran (or is it the Coran, or the Koran, or the Curan? I've seen it spelled many a ways) is their plan. The Muslim "How to do it book." It is the doctrine for the Islamic cause. The theology. The plan. Want to read it? If so, it's free on the Internet. It's OK. Read it if you want. You're not breaking any law if you do.

But.....those that choose to follow the Kuran plan, talk about it, praise it, believe in it, and share the theology with others, then make a move to act on what it says.......are conspirators in this country. You see the Islamic doctrine, the Muslim theology, demands death to anyone that refuses to follow their way. They call it "jihad." And in their own context, that death they cause is murder. And since it is illegal to murder anyone in this country, it is also just as illegal to plan it.

The Muslim worshipers that attend their mosques regularly and support the theology of the Kuran buy tithing to the cause, are nothing more than conspirators to commit murder. ALL Muslims conspire to commit murder, whether they want to be labeled so or not, because they All support jihad in some way or another.

I know, most of you blow that off by excusing most Muslims and placing blame only on the radical ones. You know, the ones that the hijack airplanes, or the ones that strap on their custom fitted bomb vests. But, ALL Muslims are to blame, because ALL Muslims support the theology and doctrine of the Kuran. And, they use the cover of the mosques to conspire against us.

Yes, I know one might argue that not all Catholics believe in birth control pills, but that theology is a far cry from the murder the Muslims advocate. I will say though, that to provide financial support to the Catholic church is to advocate their theology just like the same is true to make a donation to the Republican party. While the GOP is for the most part, might be good, there are plenty of GOP representatives that need to go.

If you don't support everything your group advocates, whether it is the GOP, the Catholics, or Islam, it is time to jump ship and quit supporting a flawed doctrine. You see, it is not the Plan that is the problem. It is the ones who choose the follow the Plan, whether it is religious, political, or other, for the outcome.

The Florida group that plan to burn the Kuran this weekend are doing nothing to curb the violence the doctrine incites. To do so would only serve to fuel the world's most violent people. There are better ways.
.

Coming to America

.
Well, some of you can't quite understand, or refuse to believe me about how the Muslims are changing the world, including America.

So, for those of you that need a visual aid, or for those of you that won't believe anything unless you read it in print (other than here), here is a clip about what has happened in France. I hope that you take the time to look at it, especially those that rebuked my previous posting about hoe Europe is no longer the same place that most of us immigrated from.

So here it is. Enjoy.
