Rattlesnake logic

From an email I received, that seems to hit the nail squarely on the head.

And incidentally, this same line of logic can be adapted to the "conservative vs liberal" issues. We know they are looking for ways to control your (everybody's) life from the womb-to-the-tomb, and make sure that you fund the project.

Very predictable, just like the rattlers!

As long as we insist on maintaining the "moral high ground" we will
NEVER win the war on terrorism! We're in a conflict in which we
absolutely INSIST in playing by the rules against a maniacal group who
have NO rules!

Rattlesnake Logic....

After the Boston bombing the news media spent days and weeks trying to
determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what
America did(!) to make these brothers so angry with us. They want to
know why these men were not arrested before they did something so
terrible. The media is in a tizzy about this new era of homegrown
radicals and about why and how they can live among us and still hate us.

A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me: “Here in west
Texas, I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed
a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the
back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on
the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.

I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and
inject me with poison. I don’t stop to wonder WHY a rattlesnake will
bite me; I know it WILL bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's
what rattlesnakes do. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake or have
a "meaningful dialogue" with it…I just kill it. I don’t try to get to
know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the
rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me. I just kill them. I
don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see if I can find out where the other
snakes are, because
(a) it won’t tell me and (b) I already know they live on my place. So,
I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.

I don’t look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a
non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I
accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake
at the time. Also, I know for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are
lurking out there in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to
rid my place of rattlesnakes.

Do I fear them? Not really. Do I respect what they can do to me and my
family? Yes!! And because of that respect, I give them the fair
justice they deserve....I kill them...
As a country, we should start giving more thought to the fact that
these jihadists' are telling the world their goal is to kill Americans
and destroy our way of life. They have just posted two graphic videos
on the internet showing them beheading Americans. They are serious.
They are exactly like rattlesnakes. It is high time for us to start
acting accordingly!

I love this country. It's the government I'm afraid of!

Look who's new in the White House!

Arif Alikhan, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security

Mohammed Elibiary, Homeland Security Adviser

Rashad Hussain, Special Envoy to the Organization of the Islamic
Conference(OIC)

Salam al-Marayati, Obama Adviser and founder of the Muslim Public
Affairs Council and is its current executive director

Imam Mohamed Magid, Obama's Sharia Czar from the Islamic Society of
North America Eboo Patel, Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood
Partnerships

This is flat-out scary!

The foxes are now officially living in the hen house...

Now ask me why I am very concerned!

Do you feel OK with this?

How can this happen, and when will we wake up?
We are quiet while our Country is being drastically changed!
