On Monday afternoon I enjoyed the relatively cool day, (it was in the 80's and not the high 90's) and rode around the neighborhood on my bike. I came back to my apartment, hopped off my bike, and left it unlocked right in front of my door. Now if it's daytime I don't worry about my bike sitting there. I can it see while sitting on the couch. I'll keep it there so if I want to use it again I don't have to mess with taking it out of my apartment again. Once it gets dark I bring it inside so it doesn't get stolen. Yet on Monday I forgot all about it. I sat on the couch watching the tube, got tired, and went to bed. When I came downstairs yesterday morning the bike was gone.
The thief didn't have to break in, didn't have to attack me or use any type of violence or destruction whatsoever. I was more angry with myself than I was with the thief. After all, everybody knows that bikes are one of those things which people love to steal. Everybody knows that in a perfect world people wouldn't steal, but that we live in this world. Everybody knows what thieves do, they steal. It was my responsibility to keep my bike secure. Obviously I failed to do so, and now I'm without a bike.
Yesterday the council in NYC voted to allow a mosque to be built on the sacred ground of ground zero. This is troubling, for I understand what the intentions of these muslims are. Muammar al-Gadaffi, a Muslim from Libya has been quoted as saying There are signs that Allah will grant victory to Islam in Europe without swords, without guns, without conquest. We don't need terrorists. We don't need homicide bombers. The fifty plus million muslims (in Europe) will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades." Are we the next target? I am not advocating that we ban them from migrating here. I do believe we must be vigilant though. Clearly, this is a victory for Islam, and a defeat to the United States. We have allowed a group which has vowed to take over the world, to build a monument to themselves on a site which claimed almost 3,000 American lives.
So, just as I was more disgusted with myself for leaving my bike out to be taken than I was with whatever dirtbag junkie who stole it, I am more disgusted with America for putting up a white flag than I am with a known enemy.
I am not as involved with the Church as I used to be, and my relationship with God probably leaves something to be desired. However, I can't help but feel that our country needs to be prayed for. I can't imagine what the families of the 9/11 victims are feeling, but I do know how I felt yesterday. I felt righteous anger, and extreme sorrow. I hope this country stays great, yet I can not help but feel that there are dark clouds on the horizon. We have sworn enemies around the world which we refuse to do anything about and simply try to appease. We allow hard working individualists to be victimized while we reward those who are weak. We fight a war in Afghanistan in which we tell the enemy when we are leaving, making us a bad ally to those fighting with us over there. We have borders which are barely existent, which are necessary by very definition for a state to exist. Now, we allow the liberals and progressives to raise a white flag on our very own soil.
A place to talk about America today, politics, all the stuff going on in the world, sports, movies, and whatever else I feel like talking about.

Look out for evil genies
Look out for those evil genies. If you don't, a female one might possess you. If that happens your father may chain you up in the basement for years on end, keep you malnourished, and let you rot in your own filth...if your father practices Islam that is. Otherwise you'll probably be taken to a doctor, and, who knows, the doctor might actually diagnose you with something other than being possessed by an evil genie.
I feel bad for the young man chained up in his basement by his father, but this should goes to show how backwards the religion of islam is keeping the muslim world. I can't even imagine what the liberal media would do, not to mention the airheads in Hollywood, if a story came out about some crazy Pentecostals or backwoods snake-handlers doing something like this. I'm sure the rants about Christianity or extreme "right wingers" would run a muck.
So why is it that progressives and liberals will do almost anything to defend a set of beliefs and nations that condone barbaric behavior such as this? Why do movies constantly come out which subtly, and often times not so subtly, mock Christianity? Why is their a steady stream of movies that come out, which defend those who would see us perish? Why am I called a redneck if I go to church, or even simply practice Christian values, yet a man straight out of the fifteenth century is ignored by the left?
For the most part, those who practice Judeo Christian principles love this country. Those who practice Islam, secular humanism, new age jargon, or any other watery mystic drivel, only wish to see our country fail. Why wish to see our country succeed when your ultimate goal is to see a world without borders or boundaries? The more I study progressives, the more I see that they have one goal, and that every action they take is an end to those means. The hardcore left is not ignorant of what Islam stands for. Sure, there are some ignorant college kids, or general wishy washy buffoons like Alan Colmes who think that the world should be hunky dory and that peace and love is the true goal of a liberal. But anyone with some common sense can see through that. The goal of a progressive is to control others, demolish the United States, and to promote their agenda throughout the world; ending up in one-world ideology.
So this story really got me thinking; liberals will ignore heartbreaking stories of a young 29 year old man who has been clearly abused for almost his entire life if it serves their purpose. Liberals will jump on any type of scandal, no matter how small, if it involves the church. They don't believe in either set of beliefs, but the ends justify the means. In general, Christians believe in freedom. They believe in the United States. The world of Islam does not. Yes, I believe there are good Muslims, and I am well aware that to someone reading this I sound as if I am a fanatic. But as I've posted before, I truly believe that the religion of Islam calls for the destruction of all non believers and non believing nations. Muslims who deny that have either rejected that point, are unaware of it, or are lying.
And so I come back to my point, that every action a progressive takes, is truly an action toward the same overall goal. Look at the screaming the libs have done over the new Arizona law, (a law most of them have not even taken the time to have read.) What does a border have to do with the consistent attack on Christianity? Both things, if the libs and progressives have it their way, will harm this country. Now, the libs want to tax the American people more, another thing that will harm the average American.
Progressives wish to see the destruction of the United States, and to control the people. There is only one type of power they despise, and that is the power of our country. Other than that, they want it all.
Well, except for going nuclear.

"Islam: What The West Needs to Know"....a chilling documentary
I just finished watching the documentary "Islam: What the West Needs To Know." It was refreshing to watch something on this topic that wasn't politically correct and full of defensive American Muslims whining about how they get checked at airports.
The film isn't full of video footage or sound bites, music, or flashy effects, (though there is some limited video footage.) It's interview driven, with numerous interesting experts from the world of academia. You certainly have to be in the mood to learn something, not to watch "The Simpsons" or one of the "Bourne Identity" movies for the fifteenth time this week on TNT. I'm sure the average liberal or progressive will see the title of this and simply refuse to watch it on principle, assuming that it's a KKK production or something, then go on to badmouth it. The fact of the matter is, that two of the experts interviewed are Arabs and former Muslims, one of which is a former member of the PLO.
Now, as I sit here and type, I wish I had taken notes as I watched. (Anyone about to watch it for academic purposes would definitely want to do so - LOTS of information thrown out there.) It would be impossible for me to mention every point the film touches upon, yet that would take away the point of you watching it anyway. The thesis however, is basically this: Islam is a religion of peace, BUT ONLY by it's own definition. Islam is more than a religion; it is a way to govern people. Islam condones violence, and excuses lying if it is for the greater good of Islam. More than anything else stressed in the film, the West simply doesn't understand Islam and cannot speak out against it's goals, a fact most Muslims exploit by being extremely aware of our nation's great fear of being called racist.
The documentary opened up by showing Presidents Bush and Clinton, and Prime Minister Blair, all falling over themselves about how Islam is a peaceful religion. It struck me how weak we must look as we constantly pander to these people. Robert Spencer, who runs jihadwatch.org explained, that Islam is a religion of peace only in the sense that BY WAR AND CONVERSION peace may be achieved. Walid Shoebat, the former PLO member explained how Muslims are commanded to lie if it is protecting Islam. So how many Muslims lie on a daily basis about the intent of their religion?
The film shows plenty of verses from the Koran to back all these things up. They also explain that the Koran is not chronological. It is set up from biggest book to smallest book. That being said, some of the smaller books at the end which do mention peaceful things, are actually changed into more violent verses. These verses just appear earlier in the Koran, and to your average westerner, they figure the "older" verses in the beginning, are changed by the "newer" verses at the end of the book.
Make no mistake, I by no means think all Muslims are bad or violent. I believe many of them have rejected it or, like many "Christians" who haven't taken communion in ages or are unaware of much of the Bible, simply don't understand their religion. I also don't pretend to be an expert because I've watched an hour and a half long documentary. Much more research would be necessary in order for me to proclaim that. Still, I can't help but think that this film had some excellent points which the mainstream media is terrified to look deeper into. It really makes me think that the liberals and progressive are much more afraid of Islam than us "right wing, islamophobics" are. After all, who's the bigger wuss on the playground, the bully's sidekick, or the kid who calls him out for being a cowardly bully?
The film closed out with Walid Shoebat summarizing what the West doesn't understand.
"What the west needs to understand about Islam, is that Islam has the potential, of replacing the dangers that we just, kind of, did away with, nazism and communism. Like nazism and like communism, Islamism - the end justifies the means. There is no respect for national borders, and the whole ideology is to promote their way of thinking, to promote their way of life, throughout the entire world. That's what's being taught in the middle east. That's what's coming out of Saudia Arabia and all throughout the Muslim world. They will conquer, and will continue to conquer, until it triumphs, until everybody in the world says there's no God but allah and Muhammad is his prophet."
I will say this. This film makes me want to learn more about Islam, perhaps even pick up a Koran and read it, and do everything possible to NOT let the American muslims erect a mosque on the sacred ground of Ground Zero.
