Diary of a grumpy white male.

Here's the article I read last week.  I think it describes you and me quite nicely, and it's our membership in this group that makes us get along so well each afternoon.

First off, I do agree that spraying bullets into a crowd just before suicide is one of the most cowardice actions to take,

The things I wanted to nitpick were:

You said all of these bastards are godless and maybe that has something to do with their willingness to randomly murder. I think their willingness has more to do with the media going out of control with needless coverage on previous incidents rather than their lack of religion.

Look at how many suicide bombers in the middle east randomly kill in the name of god. Look at how many people Hitler had exterminated in the name of religion.

The media helps glorify these kinds of people by needlessly showi ... Read More »

Hop on the short bus if you believe:

1. Washington DC's low murder rate of 69 per 100,000 is due to strict gun
control, and Indianapolis' high murder rate of 9 per 100,000 is due to the
lack of gun control.

2. Statistics showing high murder rates justify gun control but statistics
showing increasing murder rates after gun control are "just statistic ... Read More »

You can tell a lot about a person by asking them why they think the Islamic world hates America.

The response is usually just a projection of that person's OWN personal grievances with the United States.

Instead of answering the question, they tell you why THEY hate America.

The anti-semite will claim the Islamists hate us "because of our support for Israel".

The socialist (a.k.a. "progressive" or "Democrat") will claim it's because of the "imbalance of wealth and power" which leaves the young men of the Middle East feeling  inadequate and angry.

The deranged, self-loathing imbecile (a.k.a. "Ron Paul supporter") will say they don't really hate us, it was the CIA that attacked us on 9-11.

Meanwhile, Muslims the world over call for the slow, painful dismemberment of an elementary schoo ... Read More »

Marvel comics just gave Captain America a new costume.  He now proudly wears the Puerto Rican flag. (???)

 

 

I see two possible angles here.  Either this is completely unintentional on the part of some clueless Art School graduate (in which case it's funny).

Or this is some sort of subversive protest against a symbol of American patriotism (in which case it's just stupid, which makes it even funnier).

In any case, whenever danger threatens, Captain Puerto Rico will be there fighting for justice!  Just make sure your hubcaps are screwed on tight.

The other day, I was talking about "Sicko", Michael Moore's latest propaganda piece, on the radio.  His premise is that every human being deserves free medical care, and he thinks it's a shame that so many of our nation's poor have no insurance. 

My response was that I think it's a shame that so many Americans (Michael Moore being a prime example) live slovenly, sedentary, unhealthy lifestyles, lifestyles which cause illness, which in turn require them to waste money at the doctor's office.

Chris Thompson is a listener.  He's also a liberal.  As such, he is simply unable to comprehend such a concise, rational argument.  He also completely misses my point.< ... Read More »
