Reflections From a Murky Pond

Taking a loved one to the hospital is never fun. When that loved one is elderly it’s even more painful because the prognosis is less often good.

An elderly man had a massive heart attack and the family drove him to the emergency room. After a while the ER doctor appeared wearing a long face.

“I’m afraid Grandpa is “brain-dead”, but his heart is still beating.”

“Oh, Dear God,” cried his wife, “We’ve never had a liberal in the family before!”

Sometimes the doctors have no choice to give the family the worst of news and pray that they can bear the horror and pain.

Despite the Liberals’ not-too-unreasonable hope that the Boston Marathon bombing was committed by White, Right-Wing Extremists, the act of terror was committed by Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev who are Chechen Muslims who immigrated to America from Turkey.

Boston Marathon Terror Bombing

Right now however, in the current absence of any real information, what we have are two terrorists who are Muslim but there’s no data to strongly suggest that their terrorism was part of Islam’s global jihad. Frankly, it currently looks more like an extrapolation of a “School Shooting” – just two pathetic, deranged, and rightly ostracized losers who wanted some attention and “payback” for perceived wrongs done to them.

This, of course, doesn’t mean that the Tsarnaev brothers being both Chechen and Muslim didn’t contribute to their decision to become terrorists. Being raised in a culture and religion that are steeped in xenophobia, misplaced feelings of persecutions, and extreme and consistent violence certainly made their radicalization much, much easier. Also, their birth culture and religion placed them well outside and, at least partially antithetical to, the normative American culture that they were surrounded by, adding to their feelings of isolation and persecution.

It far too soon to determine what was these vermin’s rationale so it’s best to remember that, while the terrorists were Muslims, the Boston Marathon Bombing might not be actual “Muslim Terrorism.”

Now that the terrorists who committed the April 15th bombings at the Boston Marathon have turned out to be Chechen, Muslim immigrants, it’s pretty safe to say that Obama and his various proxies at the White House won’t have anything else substantive to say on the circumstances. Silence will ensue, except for, possibly, some vague promises of increased security, calls for “understanding,” and some form of apology on behalf of America to the Muslim World for our, once again, goading their spawn to violence.

I can’t see where the Campaigner-in-Chief or his handlers and overseers are going to want to talk much about Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev since, not only are they immigrants, they’re Muslims and, while racially Caucasian, are honorarily Brown People. To say anything meaningful that was even slightly honest would interfere with- and undermine Obama’s current primary task of trying to make House Republicans look bad.

Yes, I’m willing to bet money that Obama and his coterie are royally pissed and disappointed that the terrorists didn’t turn out to be natural born, White, Tea Party-esq Americans. If they had been this would have been a crisis and tragedy that Obama could have continued to make use of.

America’s Narcissist-in-Chief, Obama the Boy Blunder,  just another shameful, jabbering hissy fit in the White House Rose Garden. The boy got all wound up and petulant over the Senate blocking the “wonderful” expanded background check bill that is seen as a needed precursor for any further steps towards federal confiscation of Americans’ arms.  Obama just couldn’t help getting pissy over yet another of his pet projects being gutted by either the Legislature or the Judiciary.

He also made a brief tirade against the vast majority of Americans who are disgusted by his use of victims and victims’ families as props and/or human shields in his quest to curtail and infringe upon the Second Amendment.

Of course Obama’s against Americans with firearms. He’s afraid that he and his family won’t make to a plane heading to Mauritania before an American exterminates them. 😆

It’s a stupid fear because Americans aren’t quite ready to rise up and take our country back, but Obama is a stupid child poorly playacting act being a man.

Understand that Obama had his little fit because the expanded background check bill, not a truly hideous thing in and of itself, was and is seen as a bellwether for further disarmament measures. Since it’s been blocked by a filibuster and support for it is waning, there’s now no hope seen for Obama’s desire to largely or wholly disarm the citizenry.

On the bright side, no day that starts with Obama jabbering, raving, and whining in a fit of petulance can be all bad.

Criminals, especially the low-order thugs specializing in- and limited to violent crimes, make and repeat poor choices in their lives. Inherently, this poor decision making capability is why they’re criminals in the first place.

Remember, however, that there is a difference between poor choices in the context of long-term success or failure and wrong choices in the context of immediacy.

While there’s a whole lot wrong with these videos – this is to be expected from commercials – there’s a whole lot right about them as well. They show citizens, either law enforcement personnel or normal civilians, making a criminal’s poor choice a wrong choice as well.

Evolution In Action

It’s really odd and frustrating that the Liberals and Progressives are so dead-set against the citizenry being armed and able to ensure that criminals’ poor choices are also very wrong choices with heavy consequences. They claim to be staunch advocates of Darwinism and evolution but fail to understand that evolution of sophants is, by and large, a case of intelligent design. Society far more than natural effects determines and individual’s fitness for survival and breeding.

Removing a criminal, especially a violent thug, from society either through extermination or lengthy incarceration followed by lasting social disapprobation and stigma goes a long way towards removing unsuccessful and atavistic genes from the race, either directly and immediately through extermination or secondarily through eliminating or sharply curtailing the thugs’ ability and opportunity to reproduce.

Civic Responsibility

I will also posit that, while an individual does not have a responsibility or duty to improve the race through culling the defectives within it, he or she does have the civic responsibility and duty to protect themselves from harm rather than to solely rely upon others to do so.

It is simply not right for people to demand and enjoy the privileges of a society while willfully refusing to discharge the basic responsibilities of a member of that society. Those who do willfully refuse to do so are not members of their society; they are parasite upon it.
