Tolerance

Tolerance

I am perplexed that so many of my friends are against a mosque being built near Ground Zero. I think it should be the goal of every American to be tolerant. The mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.

That is why I also propose that two gay nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque thereby promoting tolerance within the mosque. We could call the clubs "The Turban Cowboy" and "You Mecca Me So Hot".

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork and it should have an open barbeque with spare ribs as its daily special. Across the street a very daring lingerie store called " Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret” with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods.

Next door to the lingerie shop, there would be room for an Adult Toy Shop (Koranal Knowledge?), its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store, maybe call it "Morehammered"?



If you agree in promoting tolerance and you think this is a good plan, pass it on.

JUST THINK HOW MUCH MONEY WE WOULD SAVE

An interesting letter in the Australian Shooter Magazine this week, which I quote:

"If you consider that there has been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the past 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000 soldiers.

"The firearm death rate in Washington, DC is 80.6 per 100,000 for the same period.

That means you are about 25 percent more likely to be shot and killed in the U.S. capital, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the U.S., than you are in Iraq."

Conclusion: The U.S. should pull out of Washington.

Some Truths About the Sex Offender Registry

Every legitimate statistical study and body of research regarding this subject has come to the same conclusions, the current registry and its residency/work place restrictions do not work. They: 1) Are completely ineffective 2) Cost hundreds of millions of dollars and are inefficient 3) Actually create a greater risk to children and the vulnerable. 4) Have not once been proven to prevent a crime, yet there are numerous accounts where they have increased crime 5) Encourage public misconception; Well over 90% of those asked assumed all the people on the registry were child molesters. 6) Have created a sub class of vigilantes, in Texas alone 16-20% of the families (and their children) of someone on the registry report some form of harassment. Most go unreported. 7) Have proven the only registry should be restricted to Law Enforcement. They are the ones charged with keeping the peace, and they can ascertain who the truly dangerous ones are, (assuming we don’t keep trying to help them find the needle in a haystack by increasing the size of the hay stack.) So far, facts prove the registry has only been useful for catching, or eliminating offenders after a crime has occurred. 8) Do not address the real situation; 95% of sexual offences occur in the home, by immediate family, relatives, close friends or trusted acquaintances. Less than 1/10th of 1% of sexual offences are committed by someone on the registry. That is why when it does happen, it makes all the headlines. The Media understands “Sex Sells”!

While the desire and goal to save “even one child” from harm is most laudable, to do so by recklessly and needlessly endangering the safety and lives of thousands of children, their families, friends, neighbors and co-workers is not the way to go about it. That is neither a reasonable, logical, nor viable solution...at least not to me.

This nation is quickly abandoning nobility and embracing retribution, exchanging freedom for a tenuous and false sense of security. God fearing, honest, and sincere people are being lead blindly by politicians pandering to the hysterical and misinformed through the sensationalist media, just to get elected or increase ratings share. Sex Sells! Intriguing, especially since Jesus said: “But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the Day of Judgment than for you.”

I will leave you folks with just two simple quotes:

“The state must declare the child to be the most precious treasure of the people. As long as the government is perceived as working for the benefit of the children, the people will happily endure almost any curtailment of liberty and almost any deprivation. ” From “Mein Kampf” by Adolf Hitler

"Those who are willing to sacrifice freedom for security deserve neither freedom nor security, and will loose both." Benjamin Franklin.
