God bless Jane the enemy of Yemen’s corrupt government. I am happy to be in her and Mr. al-Khawaini’s corner!

Free al-Khawaini.

Though as Americans we might know that all men across the globe are endowed by their Creator with the certain inalienable rights that we here in the United States are blessed to realize, we must also understand that the freedom to express those rights as a society was bought with the high price of the precious blood of our forefathers and their posterity. To argue that those bought rights should extend to non-citizens (especially those who are known, self-avowed enemies of this country) not only cheapens American citizenship but it is absolutely masochistically ignorant. It is ultimately up to the citizens of every other country on this planet to depose their tyrants and to earn for themselves the privileged realization of their own rights, the rights that we Americans know. These terrorists are not American citizens and certainly they have no claim to the blood that bought those rights for her citizens especially considering that they would gladly desecrate that blood, the memory of its fallen and the ideals that it represents.

People will view the confederate flag much like Irans leader will view the holocost. Irans leader is not educated about the subject and has a very narrow thinkiing of it and this is the very same with the confederate flag and tghe war between the states.
Since moving to the south I have found southerners very much more knowledgable abou tthis subject while I ofund my self as well northerners very uneducated about it, When I did look into the subject and why the war between the states happened and why , when , how the cionfederate battle flag was used I was amazed at just how much I was ignorant to history.
I just hope history will be taught inschools and I mean the factual version not the PC uneducated version some teachers will probabaly have on this subject

I’m not saying we shouldn’t help people from other countries. Nor should we turn our heads away from populaces under the boot of tyrannical governments. But come on. Where is the outcry from liberals and Hollywood psuedo intellectuals (like Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon, et al) for housing this Nation’s poor?

I am very proud to have served in this Country’s military and am proud to be an American. I believe this Country is, hands down, the most generous and forgiving country in the World. We didn’t just forgive Japan at the end of World War II; we helped rebuild it and made it one of the World’s strongest economic players. The same goes for Germany, Italy and other nations. We understand as a nation that all of us (all nations of the World) have to live together on the same blue ball as it goes careening through space.

The United States has the military might and technology to destroy ANY other country that might really piss us off. Our military doesn’t even have to leave its recliner to push a couple buttons and end the existence of ANY nation we want. But we don’t. Because it wouldn’t make any sense. That says a lot about the character of this Nation.

Could you say the same about certain despotic-lead countries like Venezuela, Iran or Korea? What if any of those countries had the power to dictate World policy? And what if they had the same weapons capabilities? Would anyone want a radical, religious zealot have his finger over the button of an ICBM? And yet Rosie O’Donnell sings their praises while bashing the United States. [Note to Rosie; the leader of Iran says there aren't any gays in his country. If you really want to make a political statement, how about moving to Iran. That'll show him!]

There’s an old adage; charity begins at home. That’s all I’m saying.

To Carlos Martinez:

A country that is an American ally has a religous sect that believes that if a woman is raped, it is her fault. And because this disgraceful act (of being raped) belittles the family (of the rape victim) then she (the victim) needs to be severely punished. So her (the rape victim) family members (father, brother, uncle) often set the victim on fire or hack her to death with a machete or whatever. And the local government basically turns its head. Because she had it coming. So, the judge, jury and executioner are the victim’s own family members.

And yet we give millions of dollars in aid to this country every year. Not to mention share technology and educational opportunities. At least we’re helping out the male members of these families. I can’t say we’re doing anything for the female members that are being set aflame.

So, Doug of Lexington… Am I bummed out? Nah. Cynical? Nah. Perturbed? A little. What have I done to help out my fellow Americans? I’ve worked as a volunteer for troubled teens and a few other things. Am I doing enough? I don’t think so. But I don’t think the Clintons, or the Gores, or the Kennedys, or the Jesse Jacksons, or the Al Sharptons are either. Not as long as they continue to spend more money on themselves (hosting fancy dinners, on ridiculously priced clothing, first class trips, etc.) than I earn in a year. But then again, I’m not out to impress anyone. Maybe that’s all part of it.

Thanks Luis, I just spewed coffee all over my monitor!!

P.S. The new girl on F&F this morning is gorgeous..
