The Swiss Affair

The estimable Mr. Porretto links to the news that the Swiss have banned minarets in Switzerland for the time being. There is the usual international pants-wetting, pissing and moaning, and cries of "INTOLERANCE!"

Yer damn skippy it's intolerant. But that's the whole point, innit? Who wants to be tolerant of a religion that is so damned intolerant of anything that is "other"? At best, Islam simply seals itself off from anything or any other society and refuses to integrate itself. At worst, well, you get people trying to blow up schools, or walking into a Soldier Readiness Center at Ft. Hood and opening fire. And nobody in the political class wants to admit it. Well, almost nobody. The few that open their mouths and speak the truth either end up with a knife pinning a note to their chest, or they're ostracized from the rest of the politicians for daring to be so rude as to not lie like the rest of the politicians.

And with the few exceptions, there's no politician across the world who's willing to step up and flat out say "Look, either that whole 'convert or die' clause has to go, or you do." No, it's cringe and cower and snivel and pissy-pants wimpering, until the simpering little bitches are putting the collars around their own necks because it's the "tolerant" thing to do and they wouldn't want to upset their Islamic masters, because those masters have a bad habit of sawing people's heads off live on the internet.

Well, fuck that noise. And the Swiss just up and said it as well. Fuck. That. Noise. Fuck it sideways, fuck it gently with a chainsaw, just fuck it. And I clapped and said HALLELUJAH! Call me intolerant, and I'll wear that badge proudly. I'm intolerant of a religion that mutilates a woman's genitalia for "purity". I'm intolerant of a religion that would kill a woman who was raped in order to salvage a relative's so-called honor. I'm intolerant of a religion that discusses the best way to kill homosexuals. I'm intolerant of a religion that would force me to convert, force my wife to wear a burlap sack for the rest of her life. I'm intolerant of a religion that would reduce the world to a barbarian, 13th century existance in the name of some moon-god worshiping pedophile.

Hell yes I'm intolerant. That's what happens when a religion says that your family and your country must either convert or be subjugated, enslaved and destroyed. And if you're not intolerant of that, then you need to just lay down and die where you're at, because I don't need you dragging me down with you.

So the Swiss have banned minarets. You want to know why they did it? Because they could see what was coming down the pike. They could see where the political class was going. They could see what was happening all over Europe. They could see that nobody had the balls to stand up and say "This far, and no farther." So they did it themselves, and I say good for them. I truly hope this is the start of a larger movement, because Islam keeps pushing and pushing and pushing until someone pushes back. This wasn't the politicians who did it, it was the Swiss themselves. The Swiss people, who were sick of being lied to about Islam when they could see the truth right in front of their own eyes.

So call them intolerant. Great. It might just be what saves them.

To everyone who emailed me

with words of comfort after I posted about my dog.

Thanks.

The Global Warming Hoax

Is all about the money and the power you can get from scaring people into thinking there's a crisis. In a just world, anyone caught perpetrating this kind of fraud would be hung from a lamp-post.

And it's not like this is news. There have been folks screaming "IT'S A FAKE, PEOPLE!" for years and years. I have two on my blogroll, Mark Alger and Francis Porretto, two people with more integrity individually than all the Global Warming hysteria-mongers have collectively.

Every time someone tells you that "climate change" is happening and that we have to DO SOMETHING, please laugh in their face. Laugh long and hard and loud. Because the only other response to ignorance of that level is a sound thrashing, and that might get you put in jail.

And then I would lose one of my regular readers. And I can't afford that.

I'm laughing my ass off

And the wife is twitching and saying "This is wrong on SO MANY LEVELS!"





But that's that makes it fun, right?



I can still remember the Muppet Show. They don't do shows like that anymore, do they?

Strike out

No deer this year for gun season. The only thing that allows me to keep my hunting sanity is that damn near nobody got a deer. It's been a shitty year all around.

Still.... I'm going out at least one day for muzzle-loader season. We'll see if I can get Bambi's relative then.

Hunting

Going out later today to a local hunting area. Gonna try to get Bambi, or at least one of his relatives. Although I've been spectacularly unsuccessful as of yet, so we'll see what happens.

Thanksgiving went well. I ate so damn much that I could barely move. Life was good.

UPDATE: Skunked. Reports from registration stations say that this area of Wisconsin is down about 30% in numbers of deer harvested. Although I heard quite a few gunshots today, so we'll see what happens tomorrow. Getting up early and heading out while it's still dark, so we can try to get those damn deer as soon as the sun comes up.

Happy Thanksgiving

I know it's a little early, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be online tomorrow. So seeing as how I can't leave you without good tidings, I want each and every one of you to have a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you spend it with friends, or family, or friends AND family, and if you're the praying sort, pray for our folks in uniform who are thousands of miles away from friends or family making sure that we can sit down and eat our turkey in peace.

As I told my chaplain - Go Home, kiss your wife, kiss your kids, and have a great day tomorrow!

S.C. No tax on guns for 48 hours after Thanksgiving

The great state of South Carolina is putting its own sick twist on Black Friday with a tax holiday on firearm purchases.

Memo to the military

Barack the Teleprompter Jesus hates you. Congress hates you. The entire Democrat American Communist Party hates you. They want you to fail. They want America destroyed. So next time, instead of collecting HUMINT, just cap the motherfucker and leave the body for the dogs and the crows.

I mean seriously, the fact that this bullshit is even going to trial is reason enough to impeach every last fucking politician who allows it to happen. The more I think about it, the more I truly believe that we need to just bomb D.C. flat and start over.

Was that harsh? Good. I want it to be harsh. The military goes to war on the orders of Congress and is commanded by the President. Those two bodies also have a huge hand in setting the Rules of Engagement for the military, and have a say in what happens after combat has occurred. If the current crop of criminals didn't set the stage for the terrorists to have their victory after they'd already been defeated, then IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN. Period. Obama and the American Communist Party are looking for the defeat of America, not the defeat of the terrorists of various stripes. As such, they're willing to put three Navy SEALs on trial for giving a terrorist fuckwad a bloody lip, instead of giving them a fucking medal for capturing the terrorist tumblefuck in the first place.

That old graffiti is right - America is not at war. Hell, the Democrats can't be at war, they surrendered years ago. War is impossible when you've already given up. Surrender is all they know, it's what they do, it's who they are. Fucking cowardly pieces of shit, every last one of them. The Democrat Party does not deserve the military that protects them.

Why I don't watch TV

Because when a screeching, annoying nancy-boy bitch is the headliner at the AMAs, TV ain't worth watching.

I mean, c'mon.

Really.

Senator Mary Landrieu is a whore

Oh, she's a very high priced whore, but once you get down to haggling over the price it can't change the person. She's a filthy, greedy, disgusting whore, bought and paid for by Harry Reid, and it's America that's going to get fucked.

She's getting $300 million for her vote, but it's not that brainless fucktard Reid's money that bought her off. It's YOUR money, and it's MY money, and it's the money of every taxpayer in America, and Reid used it to purchase a vote so that he could spend even MORE of our money. We're all fucked. Totally fucked, when the parasites in Congress are using our own money to buy votes for a bill we don't want that will drive us even further into bankruptcy.

Ladies and Gentlemen, if either the House bill or the Senate bill passes, we need to march on Washington D.C. to tar and feather ANY worthless fucking criminal who voted "Aye". Period, end of story. And if the Liberal Lord and Messiah signs his fucking name to the bill, then tar and feather him as well. Ride them all out of town on a rail, and show those elitist fucking worms just what happens when you try to become a master instead of a representative.

Yep

I'm sorry if you came for some pithy comment or another. I just ain't got it.

I thought I had more time

Saturday, my wife and I cooked a feast for forty people.

Sunday, I left on a TDY mission.

Tuesday, my wife took our good, faithful dog to the vet because she couldn't stop vomiting.

Wednesday, Roxie was put to sleep.

I just got back today. There's so many emotions running around right now that I can't label them all, or even figure out what the hell they are. Roxie had her health issues but both the Ragin' Mrs. and I thought we'd have a few more years with her. She's buried now, underneath a stand of trees at a friend's house. Brave, faithful, loving, protective, joyful....






Pardon me, but I need to go cry like a baby right now.

Obama Tells Troops: You Guys Make a Pretty Good Photo-Op

Barack Hussein Obama... doesn't think we should "rush to judgment" when Hasan the Jihadist shot up Fort Hood... won't wear a flag pin... won't salute America's flag... won't say the pledge... apologizes to our enemies... smears our past heroes... can't be bothered on Memorial Day to skip a round of Golf... throws away the advice of the Military he appoints... throws away the lives of our soldiers on a war he wants to lose.

The president greeted 1,500 troops at Osan Air Base in South Korea today telling them:

“You guys make a pretty good photo op.”

Now you know why American military bases are "gun free zones".

It's that time again

I'm off for yet another week of fun. If I don't have internet access*, then you'll see me in a week.






* = if the hotel tries to bend me over and rape me in order for me to have Wi-Fi? I ain't doing it. So I just check my email at the business center, but I don't blog from there.

What is "Country"

I only bring this up because I see that Taylor Swift has won a whole host of CMA awards for her "country" music.

Now don't get me wrong, I think that Taylor Swift has buttloads of talent. But from what I've heard of her last album, she's a bubblegum pop artist that some music director is directing at the country music market.

Hell, I think that Miranda Lambert has more "country" in one song that Taylor Swift has in her entire last album. Want proof? Compare and contrast:

Kerosene - Miranda Lambert

You Belong With Me - Taylor Swift

White Liar - Miranda Lambert

Love Story - Taylor Swift

Gunpowder and Lead - Miranda Lambert

Taylor Swift makes me think of high school cheerleaders at some Prep School on the East Coast, playing in the local talent show. Miranda Lambert makes me think of a concert at a honkey-tonk somewhere in Texas.

So what is "country"? I dunno if I can define it, but I'll take Miranda Lambert over Taylor Swift anyday.

This has been your non political post for the day. And now I'm off, because I'll be busy all friggin day.

Barack Hussein Obama still won't salute the American Flag

Not a fluke... still spitting on the entire country...

Obama's ploy with Afghanistan

Doing “something” in Afghanistan has no possible benefit for either anarchy or Obama. Anything that is “done” – be it sending in more troops or bringing troops out – only increases order and reduces entropy. Decisions, one way or another, direct management solutions. In Afghanistan as it is in America these days increased and directed management of problems decreases chaos and uncertainty. It is not an accident that all of Obama's domestic agenda involves replacing private sector management with government czars and bureaucracies.

If your inner goal is the destruction of established systems of governance you will seek in increase chaos and uncertainty at every turn. This is exactly what we see in Obama’s personal style of what passes for “governance.” We do not have to intuit this. We need only observe and not deny the evidence of our senses.

Veterans of dysfunctional corporations will recognize the Obama style as the one in which upper management is fond of giving middle management “All the responsibility, none of the authority, and zero resources.” It’s a time-tested recipe for failure and demoralization while maintaining an aloof, "concerned," and above the fray posture on the part of the CEO. It is what is being done to the US military, day in and day out, in Afghanistan and, as such, works to Obama’s favor as long as it can be done slowly and without alarm

Cloward-Piven strategy. Obama isn't actually trying to fix anything, folks. And Obama isn't trying to win in Afghanistan. That whole "War that needs to be won" speech that the teleprompter Jesus gave in the election? Lies, just like every other word that comes out of his mouth. Lies, lies, lies and more fucking lies.

Because Obama doesn't give a shit about the military. To Obama, the military is just another political pawn, and if more US Servicemen die under Obama's watch, so much the better. Obama will dip his hands into their blood and use it to sign yet another freedom-destroying piece of legislation, all the while blathering on about dignity and sacrifice, as if he has any idea what those words mean. The more US Servicemembers who die on Obama's watch is more blood that Obama can use for his own political gain.

This is going to be a long, long couple of years for the military, folks. I expect plenty more people to die because of Obama's choices. And I expect that those deaths will be for Obama's political purposes, not for any military decisions. And I expect that Obama will celebrate them, because that will give him MORE deaths to use in his political war.

The Commander in Chief can't stand the military he commands. And if they die, he's satisfied.

I would love to have someone prove me wrong. But I don't think that anyone can.

Random Thoughts

on custom guns. Phil links to a few folks who know a thing or two about custom guns. Phil has done work on his own guns as well.

As for me? Meh.

Look, I can appreciate a custom gun, trust me on that. But a lot of the desire to build a custom gun is the desire to say "Lookie at what I made!" And I can completely understand that, because I do that with leather and various other things. I think I bored fifty people to death showing off the holster I made for my 1911. "Look! I made it all by myself!"

Special needs also create custom guns. You go to Boomershoot, and I'm willing to bet that most the guns there are either custom or have had a substantial amount of work done on them by their owners. And if you're trying to tag a target at 1000+ meters, you pretty much need a custom gun.

Me? All I want to do is take down deer at 100 yards. And given the woods here in Wisconsin, I'll be doing it at LESS than 100 yards, just because the trees are too thick for you to have a long shot at a deer. I don't need a custom gun for that. Hell, since my Mosin is acting shitty, I'll be doing all my hunting with my muzzle loader, and a .50 cal lead roundball should be perfectly up to the task.

I can appreciate a custom gun. I just don't think I'll be owning one.

Calmer today

It's amazing how much better my mood is when I go for a run in the morning.

Although I still think that beating the ever-living fuck out of a certain person in Missouri would help sooth my nerves.

No, that's not a political rant. In fact, that's a personal note that has nothing to do with anything else than my job.

*&$%#@!

Took a co-worker shooting today. He wasn't fond of the Mosin-Nagant, so I showed him the operation of the muzzle loader, made sure he understood the rules, watched him for a while, and let him have fun. He was enjoying it quite a bit, until he shot the damn ramrod at the target.

Yeah. I heard him fire and it sounded a bit off, but he seemed OK and the gun looked fine. He complained that it had kicked hard. I thought he'd just put more powder in than he had intended. But when I went to fire the gun, the ramrod was missing. After searching for it, we saw the slash in the target board where the ramrod had gone through. Once the range went cold we walked down, and damned if you couldn't see exactly where it had gone, down to the rings on the jag. It was almost cartoonish; the outline of the ramrod in the board.

So the question I have now is this - just how much damage did my gun take from that? I cleaned and inspected the barrel, and it looks fine. The breech plug is fine. But I know that there could be damage that I can't see. What normally happens when you shoot the ramrod out?

Oh, and don't even get my started on the Mosin-Nagant. I couldn't hit the fucking broadside of a barn from the inside. I started out the day with two-inch groups, and by the end of the day I couldn't group at all. I'm not just frustrated, I'm infuriated. I'm about to take that worthless fucking gun and turn it into kindling.

So, I have a muzzle-loader that might be damaged, and I have a rifle that I can't hit anything with. I won't be able to hit the range anytime soon, today was the last chance. Which means I might not get to go hunting. Fuck. Just fuck. Fuck me gently with a chainsaw fuck fuck FUCK DAMMIT FUCK!

And this is just one fucking thing that makes me want to take a fucking axe to the smiling faces of the drones who walk around asking me how my day went. You don't want to know how my fucking day went. I don't even want to know how my worthless fucking wasted day went, I just want to drink myself into a stupor and go to sleep and pretend that this fucking day never happened, but I can't even fucking do that. Fuck. I want to destroy my fucking Mosin, but I'm holding off in the faint hope that there might be some chance of rescuing the gun into something that might resemble an actual functioning half accurate firearm. I'm hoping and praying that my muzzle-loader didn't just fucking die because my co-worker forgot to take the fucking ramrod out. But until I can confirm it, I have a grand total of FUCKING ZERO deer killing firearms. So I might as well just wipe my fucking ass with my hunting permit.

Fuck.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.

Veteran's Day

Thank a vet, if you know one.

And if you don't know one, go find one. It's not like VA hospitals are in short supply. I'm off to the range to blow holes in paper at long distance. It just seems fitting.

Happy Birthday to the US Marine Corps

As much as I rag on my fellow service members who picked the wrong branch, when it call comes down to it it's the "U.S." on the nametape that counts, not what immediately follows it.

Quick blog post of the day

I came back in from my run, grabbed a cup of coffee, and was about to fire up the computer for some blogging when I noticed a "puddle" in the kitchen.

Turned out the dog had vomited all over the kitchen floor. So instead of blogging, I cleaned that up. No bloggus for you today!

Oh, OK, one quick thing - political correctness is alive and well in the military. Maybe if we'd actually done some looking at that jihadist fuckwit Hasan he would have been booted out long before he went on a killing spree. But no, someone didn't want to upset the applecart. Don't rock the boat! That wouldn't be nice!

This is how civilization dies, folks. Be being unwilling to confront the threats from both within and without.

Obama Doesn't "Get" the Military He Commands

I give you Villainous Company...

Life is full of mysteries, but chief among them in this Marine wife's mind at the moment is, "Just how stupid does this White House think we are?" If the events of the past few months have shown us anything, it's that Barack Obama has little enthusiasm for - or interest in - one of the most important duties of an American President: his role as Commander in Chief of the nation's armed forces.
...
Obama started his first term by becoming the first president in 56 years to snub the Salute to Heroes ball honoring Medal of Honor recipients.
...
...where was our Commander in Chief when his top commander in Afghanistan was being viciously attacked? Did he step in and defend his subordinate for doing the job he was ordered to do? Of course he didn't. Harry Truman was obviously no community organizer: the brouhaha over McChrystal ensured that the buck wouldn't stop in the Oval Office this time. The McChrystal leak was followed by the revelation that our stalwart Commander in Chief had only met with his top commander in Afghanistan once. Stung by the implication that his "war of necessity" was very much on the back burner, Obama scrambled to find a mere 20 minutes to spare as he idled on a runway in northern Europe. He spent more time than that conducting a beer summit.
...
Tell me something: in a moment of national tragedy is it really too much to expect the President of the United States to forego the "shout outs"?

Anybody notice Barack Hussein Obama quickly said we shouldn't judge Hasan and then just as quickly used the tragedy to push Healthcare?

Meanwhile Mr. & Mrs. 'W' dropped by the hospital in Ft. Hood to comfort the wounded.

In comments

Both at Rivrdog's and Og's is a discussion started by one Roberta X about the role religion played in the Ft. Hood shootings. What prompted this particular post is her reply to my comment at Rivrdog's, wherein she states:

Judge people by their actions (and not by the crazy stuff written in their holy book, which you can find in any religion's writings) or go stand over there with the Nazis and the Commies. It's all the same to me, because I look on you -- and my baby brother and cops, cabdrivers and co-eds -- with as much suspicion as I do Muslims.

She then goes on to accuse both myself and Rivrdog of "painting with a very broad brush".

Wow. Look at that sentance she wrote. And she thinks that I paint with a very broad brush? Yeah.

Look, I'm not a Roberta hater, so don't think that I'm getting all pissy with her. But on this subject, she's wrong. And trying to claim that all religions have weird stuff written in their holy book is intellectually dishonest. "Weird", maybe. Calling for the adherents of a religion to either convert or kill the infidels? Well, that pretty much narrows it down to one - Islam.

Does this mean that all Muslims are going to go on a shooting rampage? No. But it does mean that they have a predication for violence against non-believers. And the more power they get, the more violent they get. Ask Geert Wilders, or Theo van Gogh. Ask Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

Ah, wait, you can't ask Theo van Gogh, he was stabbed to death by a Muslim for daring to make a movie about Islam. I guess that's another little "weird" thing written in a holy book, right?

Not all religions are the same. Not all religions call for their believers to kill non-believers. In fact, as far as I know only one religion does so: Islam. Islam might not be the reason for people going nuts, but it sure enourages it and nurtures it, grows it, and then lets it loose. To quote Og:

So, Ms Rx, it is unfair to paint Muslims with a broad brush that says ‘Terrorist”. But to paint them wiht a brush that says” potential dangerous kook that should be watched carefully” yes, that’s just fine by me. And it’s mathematically true that if you JUST painted muslims with that brush, you’d have made a pretty safe bet.

And I'm off for the day. Y'all have fun.

Why the BCS sucks

Besides the fact that all the computer scores in the world can't make up for the fact that the coaches poll is completely and totally crap.

Besides the fact that the people who vote in the AP poll can't even be bothered to watch the teams they're voting on (Last year's Utah team, anyone? Undefeated? Whipped Alabama's ass in their non-BCS bowl game? Couldn't get a BCS bid to save their life?)

The big excuse given by the BSC backers to teams like Boise State and Utah is "Well, play the big boys and we'll talk". My response back is "Why don't you go outside and play hide and go fuck yourself?" because the big boys are pissing their pants about playing Boise State.

Boise State is a damn good team. They've been damn good for YEARS. Go here and check out their past schedules. You have to go back to 2005 to find a year with THREE losses, and two of those were to ranked opponents. But they can't get a BCS bid. And now Boise State is actually telling the big boys "Hey, let us play you, we'll come to your stadium, and you don't have to return the favor by coming to Idaho. We just want to play you. C'mon! Let's play!"

And the big boys are in the corner, pissing and whining and moaning. Their one excuse, "Well, let them play OUR schedule!" just took a hit, because Boise State is willing to do just that - they're not hiding. Who's hiding? All the big colleges who only want to play a cream-puff non conference schedule. I'll take USC over Texas or Florida for the BCS championship, because USC goes out and plays the big boys. USC doesn't cower in the corner, whining and pissing all over itself during the non-conference games. You know who USC has played outside it's conference so far? San Jose State, Ohio State (who was ranked #8 at the time) and Notre Dame (who was ranked 25th at the time). Three non-conference games, and two of those were ranked opponents.

What about Florida? Hmmmmm... Troy? Charleston Southern? FIU?

What about Texas? Hmmmmm..... Louisiana-Monroe? Wyoming? UCF?

Boise State wants to play ranked teams. They want to prove themselves. USC does as well. Hell, I'll even take Ohio State over Florida and Texas, because Ohio State manned up and played USC rather than take another cupcake matchup.

Some teams want to play. Some teams want to hide inside their conference. And you know what? The BCS rewards the teams that hide. The BCS rewards the pissy-pants bitches. That's just another example of why the BCS is a horrible idea and should be scrapped.

Gah. I'm off to buy some ammo.

Hey Gibbs

Yeah you, Gibbs, the Presidential mouthpiece. You wanna whine about some LaRouchie waving an Obama-as-Hiter sign?

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Fuck you, Gibbs.

Oh, and Gibbsie? Go fuck yourself, you stupid fat sack of shit.

And for every Media whore in the audience who didn't call Gibbs on that bullshit, I hope you all get your shrunken, useless testicles taken off with a belt sander. The media in this country is so dishonest that they can't even call out the Messianic Mouthpiece on what has got to be one of the flat out dumbest remarks he's ever made. What a fucking joke. The entire MSM can go drive a bus off a cliff for all I care; all it would do is improve the collective IQ of this country. I really can't see any downside to that.

SHEESH: Why did I even bother finding all those pictures when other folks have done it as well? Actually, I know why: So I could tell the Messianic Mouthpiece to go fuck off a few more times. What a fucking stupid, worthless, hand-up-his-ass-puppetry joke. I don't just want him shamed, I want him hammered into the ground for even daring to be that fucking dumb.

Slip of agenda

I don't think anyone can truly be surprised by this

So....

By now you've heard about the shooting at Ft. Hood. Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan has killed 12 people and wounded 31. Hot Air has a good post with plenty of updates, and if you scroll down slowly you'll see how the story first formed and where it went from there.

I'm trying to remain apolitical on this, and I'm failing miserably. I have a co-worker who's flat out telling me that he will refuse to work with any Muslims, period. And you know what? I can't blame him. I can't find one single reason to tell him differently. A Muslim kills 12 of my fellow Soldiers in his own little personal jihad, and I'm supposed to stay calm?

Hey, remember the shooting of an Army Recruiter in Arkansas? The guy who did it? Muslim.

Was that a cheap shot? Maybe. But not as cheap a shot as tossing a grenade into a tent. Because you don't want to kill your fellow muslims, so you kill your fellow Soldiers.

Now, is religion the only reason Soldiers freak out and kill their fellow Soldiers? Nope. But the one common theme of muslim Soldiers who do so is that they put their religion before their country. In fact, the question in people's minds when they hear about a shooting such as this is "Is the gunman a Muslim?" And given how many plots have been uncovered regarding muslims wanting to kill Americans, they are right to ask that question. It's a valid question. When dealing with a religion that separates the world into the House of Islam and the House of War, and anyone not Muslim goes to the latter to be attacked, subjugated and conquered, then yeah I think it's a valid question. Catholic Doctrine says to spread the word of Christ through word and examples. I can't find any Catholic Doctrine that says "Put Unbelievers to the sword". It ain't there.

Protestant? Ditto. I can't find anything in Martin Luther's thesis that says to kill anyone who doesn't submit to that religion.

I've heard of a Four-Point Calvinist and a Five-Point Calvinist, but I've never heard of a Calvinist who declares that anyone not a Calvinist is the enemy.

However, I can find the passage in the Koran that claims all muslims must kill the unbelievers.

Right now I'm a little busy working through the details in my head. But I have to go to work today, and quite possibly "support" or allow a religion than wants to see me dead. And yeah, I have some issues with that.

Back home

Got back in yesterday. Celebrated homecoming with wife. Went out and bought a ladder. Cleaned out the gutters. Came in and had dinner. Got a call from co-worker (more on that later). Celebrated homecoming with wife again. Went to sleep.

Trip successful. Glad to be home.

No Web Access

I'll be on limited web access for the next few days. If I can post, I will. If I can't, well, try not to dirty up the joint any more than it already is before I get back, eh?

I'm not a Packer's fan

I'm a Seahawks fan, and have been for decades. But I'm also just a football fan, and for what Brett Favre did to the Packers......

I hope he spends his day flat on his ass at Lambeau Field.
