Truth And Common Sense

It’s a good article to read, once you get past the “I’m trying to save the world with green energy, this is my company” promo deal.  Yes, we get it.  You aren’t supposed to die at the hands of an Islamic terrorist bomber because you are one of the enlightened ones.  Did you not get the picture when WTC fell?  Don’t you think there were a few or more than a few left leaning enlightened road taking fellow travelers that died on 9-11?  Or at the Jewish Center in Seattle? Or when Muhammad shot all those people during his sniper spree?

I feel sorry for those in this nation who like to separate themselves from the rest of the citizenry because they are, in their own eyes, different or better or elite.  Evil and the violence it brings are unbiased in what it targets.  Evil is just that evil.  It has no conscience, it doesn’t subscribe to the Sierra Club or the ACLU or the Habitat for Humanity.  It doesn’t care.  Evil exists and it likes spreading itself anywhere it can.  You cannot negotiate with it, or talk to it, or reason with it, IT doesn’t care.   It doesn’t care about race or color or background or education or if you are married or have kids or are evil yourself.  IT lives for its own sake.

The poor leftie who wrote this article spent most of his time with self-examination, astounded about how he was handling the whole event.  You could read the shock in his words.  He hasn’t really come to grasp with what happened outside the intellectual understanding that he was one bad detonator from being bones and DNA left behind in a fiery crash.

In his defense he’s been taught that been a leftie is almost god-like and should insulate him from harm.  “Do good works and good works will come to you.”  kind of bullsh*t.  Well, here’s the real world.  That works as long as someone who isn’t so “pie in the sky” about life stands in the breach and takes the arrows of evil so lefties like this kid can reap their rewards unharmed.  It is that simple.  I’ve talked a lot about Dave Grossman’s speech on Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs.  It is something everyone who is waking up must read.  There are three kinds of people in this world; sheep- who would rather be left alone as long as there is green grass, water and a sunny meadow; wolves- who prey on the sheep and are basically evil through and through; and sheepdogs- who stand between the two and sacrifice so the sheep can live in peace and in ignorance of the way things truly are.  Sheep can become sheepdogs, but it usually takes a significant event in their lives to wake them up.  Many of the tea party goers we see are former sheep who have been shocked into reality by the actions of their government.  In Roey’s case, he was almost blown to bits by a young man who didn’t know him or cared to know him, sent by other men who didn’t know him or cared to know him, but only wanted to kill him because they are evil.   Roey’s moment of clarity isn’t here just yet.  He understands it, but doesn’t “get” it.   One day, probably in a month or so, he’ll go “THOSE SON OF BITCHES WERE TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!”   At which point he’ll walk out of the meadow and into the breach and join the rest of us.

There is an old joke that goes, “The difference between a liberal and a conservative is that the liberal hasn’t been robbed yet.”   Roey got robbed, big time.  He was robbed of his innocence and at the next green party when some long haired hippie type leftie that smells of burnt rope and sports watery eyes blabs about how we need just to understand the radical Islamics or that it is all Bush’s fault, Roey is going to blow a gasket. He won’t know exactly why that argument offends him so, but he’ll get offended.

At that moment I will extend the hand and say, “Welcome abroad, grab a rifle and stand in that hole over there.”
