HAVE I HELPED? |

I want to Know!!
OK, world... Some of you are really getting on my nerves and you are
going to have to hear me out on this.... I have had it up to my
eyeballs in my ..almost.. 60 years of life with the present state of
affairs. This includes just some of the following..... liberals who
can't bring themselves to squash bugs, let alone Islamo-fascist thugs
with bombs at their doorsteps; conservative who have no use
for government at all; religious ideologues who can't see past the
horrific result of the last two thousand years of religious
"righteousness" - by ALL creeds; large portions of the mass media which
seem to think the shrill voices and thugs in our midst as somehow possessing
special knowledge; anybody who has never read a history book in their entire
life; everybody who thinks their measly little self interest trumps the
common good; everybody else who thinks the common good trumps the rights
of the measly individual; and most of all anybody who has never been in
awe of the universe, and not been reduced to tears when finally
realizing their absolutely insignificant place in it. We'll get back to
that last point eventually.
And in the last few years it now especially includes the Islamo-fascist
thugs who think they must kill us because it is their duty. Fascinating
concept there. At least the Christian wackos figure we will see our due
in hell so they don't have to kill us now. They just have to put up with
us in this life, before they take their rightful place in the next life.
The Islamo-fascist thugs seem to think they have to kill us in this
life, which makes for a very special kind of problem for those of us who
"just want to get along."
It also often includes Jews because they are the inventors of the
spiritual "we are right" movements. And the world has pretty much held
them in contempt for 3000 years because they invented God and we are all
jealous that it wasn't our invention, and we have been busy holding
Inquisitions trying to "get back to God." I hold Jews in a special place
in my heart, however, if for no other reason than that they don't seem to
think they have to kill everybody else and/or impose their religion.
Did they learn something along the way? When will we!?
Am I off to a good start here?
You see, Rodney King had it right when he said "can't we all just get
along!" I'll give him that - few of the "righteous" on this planet
want to get along. And this was after a beating few of us would
survive. Unfortunately he seems to have descended into true desperation
and don't-give-a-damn, or he has faithfully adopted the mantra of much
of our underclass - I am not responsible for what I do, therefore I can
do anything because it is your fault - thanks to a few generations of
liberal brainwashing.
You "righteous" "we are right" ideologues of the left and the right who
think you have the answer and want to impose that answer on the rest of us are
making life very difficult for those of us who "just want to get along."
This includes the liberal socialists and all their proposals for a society which
will take
care of us from cradle to grave, whether we want it or not! And the arch
conservatives who believe government has no role at all in our lives. And
yes this includes all those smug Christian preachers we see interviewed on all
the talk shows, and preaching their righteousness on Sunday mornings,
who think there is no such thing as degrees of sexuality, that drinking
beer is a sin, that the earth was created 4000 years ago, etc. ad
infinitum and ad nauseum. Give me a break..
The Islamo-fascist thugs, and their apologists are simply sickening, and are
the natural inheritors of the terrorist tradition, perfected, in the modern age
by Yassir Arafat, and permitted I must say by those modern apologists of the
left. I can still see Jacques Chirac visiting him at his dying bedside, while
snubbing Iyad Alawi. Not that Alawi or our own neo conservatives are
angels, but their Marines who fight and die give us our freedom. My
"righteousness"
can say that you're stupid if you do not understand that.
I thank God [take your pick] for this country and the smarts, or luck,
of the founding fathers who have established a resilient system. At the
same time I am driven to distraction by those on the left and the right,
and the spiritual "we are right" movements who take advantage of this
country's special blessings. At other times and in other "cultures"
they would certainly have been taken out back and shot! Ward Churchill
comes to immediate mind here. But thank God he can spout his anti-American
venom. My "righteousness" says you are stupid if you do not understand
this.
Watching the liberals and conservatives spout their rhetoric in the
political arena at least saves us the situation of them taking up arms to
promote their
aims, [as in many other parts of the world] and provides great, but
exasperating theatre. I was amazed that we came through this election
without the hard left democrats in open rebellion. God bless them for
that - maybe there is hope for them yet. I wonder if the hard right will behave
as
well when Hillary is elected in 2008? We can only hope. Thank God for
Jefferson
and the founding fathers. We may survive even the next few years.
So how do all you people on the far left, the far right and in the "we
are right" spiritual movements grow up thinking like this? I want to Know!
This is my "I am right" belief, and I think it trumps all yours... There
are no single "answers" to everything. There are a million answers to
each and every question that we have. More generally, there are no
solutions, only choices. It is a completely open, unformulated and
unexplored universe with all possibilities intact. That is a completely
scary proposition to radical liberals and conservatives, and especially
those in the "we are right" spiritual movements. It is a completely
liberating proposition to those willing to accept it. We are in complete
charge of our fate, for better or worse. I sure wish you wackos on the
left and right would let me get on with my self determination. I have
no designs on any of you wackos, unlike you, who seem to have designs on me.
The only things set in stone are the physical laws of the Universe, and
even these seem to be changing as we speak. Fundamental physics is more
of a "faith" than it is a science these days. Even UFOs are coming into
vogue with new theories of the universe! And this is very exciting, and
certainly scary. It is validating the idea that there are indeed no
answers, even on the fundamental questions of physical nature - just
ideas. So if the physicists don't have any answers, how can all you
people have any? Tell me that. Where did all you people get this idea
that there are answers to the questions of existence? Let's have some
perspective here, it might help!
I want to know...!
