Reflections From a Murky Pond

Muslim are angry. All across the Middle East, the Far East, Asia Minor, and Africa Muslims are angry.  They’ve seemingly been angry at the world and each other for approximately 1380 years.

The adherents of the “Religion of Peace” have consistently vented that anger in centuries of violence whose feral savagery shocks the sensibilities of the Civilized World.

Indeed, the only places where you find happy Muslims is in the West, in the nations of Europe and in America – nations where Muslims don’t rule and Islam has no control over the laws and behaviors of those nations.

Yet, despite this, Muslims blame the Civilized World for their problems and their anger instead themselves, their leaders, and Islam. They blame us to point that they’ve started a jihad against us.

Sadly, you can’t reason with creatures like that; they’re just too far divorced from sanity, normative human thought, and basic reason. You can only contain them or exterminate them for the public health.

Let us for the nonce consider matters as they currently stand in America as if the fantasies of the Liberals and their minority tenants were true. Let us pretend that they’re right and that American society and culture is endemically and inherently racist – vilely and perniciously so.

If Americans are so racist, wasn’t it the nadir of irresponsibility to install a Black man as POTUS during the current crisis-ridden times facing America and the world?

Think about that objectively for a moment. If Americans are so racist and hold such fear, loathing, and hatred for minorities that they were going to attack Obama no matter what he did or said just because he’s Black, how irresponsible or, alternatively, how much hatred for America the Liberals and their minority tenants must one have to willfully saddle America with him as POTUS in these times?

Is the economy broken? I keep hearing – and hearing, and hearing, and hearing – how the US economy is broken, but is this really true or is the truth that the US economy has been broken for decades and what we’re painfully experiencing is it fixing itself?

It seems to me that latter possibility is far more likely true than the former.

I’m Pagan and I celebrate Christmas. I also celebrate Yule. To my mind there’s no inherent conflict in this. Yule is my religious holiday and Christmas is my American holiday and is largely secular in nature.

Perhaps this should be of some concern to Christians, a wee bit more so than arguments about “Happy Holidays” vs. “Merry Christmas.”

After all, the customs, trappings, and imagery of an American Christmas: Santa, Frosty The Snow Man, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, Christmas Trees and decorations, and so very many others have nothing to do with Missa Christi aka Crīstesmæsse aka Christ’s Mass.

I think that “the war on Christmas” is one that Christians have already largely lost and that the current trend towards anti-theism and anti-Christianity is just a mopping up operation, the Christians, by and large, having already ceded the field.

Sometimes referred to as part of Scottish Wisdom and meant with all humor, this blunt statement carries with it a great weight of vastly unpleasant truth.

Help a man when he’s in trouble, and he’ll remember you when he’s in trouble again.

I think that what humor it evokes is of the “you either have to laugh or cry variety.”

It’s true though; more often than not, the result of helping is man is that he’ll first turn to you the next time he believes that he needs help – and so the cycle of irresponsibility and dependance begins.
