Evangelical's Viewpoint

"Hmm, who declared war on Al Qeuda? Well gee they did well before 9/11. Live and let live? Wow that's really manly of you. Is that your theory when Al Q forces You and the rest of western Civilization to live under Sharia / Islamic Law? Good luck with that one. They sure have you. That's there goal. To convince weak minded secularists to mind their own business. Obviously if you cared about anyone other that yourself you would start defending others like babies from being aborted, non Islamicists from get their heads chopped off by Islamo facists and oh protecting mothers from abortion who in all cases at some point dreadfully regret it."

This is a direct quote from a Facebook message that I recieved from Eric Whittington, the director of Rock for Life, an evangelical Christian organization against abortion in any circumstance.

Let's break this down..."Al Qeuda"? Wow, ok, I won't even go into that one, though tempting it is. But he says that the US declared war on Al Qaeda. I wasn't aware of this. I mean, it is common belief nowadays that Al Qaeda is a CIA created organization.

And I also have never been aware of Islamic soldiers invading my homeland in order to enforce their beliefs upon me. But wait. The US Army. The US Marine Corps. The US Navy. The US Air Force. The US Coast Guards. The CIA. The FBI. The DEA. These all can be considered terrorist forces. Just because the people claiming this fact aren't Americans, no one believes it. Americans can't be terrorists. We spread democracy and help people gain freedom they've never experienced. We BOMB 'em right into a new era of peace, love, and harmony. The fact that Eric Whittington doesn't have occupying troops knocking on his door everynight wanting to interrogate him due to his outspoken religious viewpoints explains why he can say these things with such a clear conscience.

And all women regret their decision to abort? Wow, Eric, how many babies have you given birth to? None?

I love religious fanatics that want to kill other religious fanatics. It just proves my point that religion is a way to control the weak minded masses.

Gathering of Eagles

I would love for everyone to check out this great group website. It's for a group called "Gathering of Eagles".

There are several reasons I like this group. For one, in their title, they have a Ross Perot quote. Brave.

Well, actually, that's the only reason I can possibly think of to like a group like this. Not "like" but more "laugh at".

"Aw, poor little yellow punk, it’ll never be safe anywhere for a deserter. I predict suicide will be the solution."

That is what Zeke, a member of this group had to say about me. Wow, what a solution.

So, my fair readers, check out this "non-profit, 501(c)(4) corporation." It'll open your eyes a little.

Only Militants in Iraq?

So, I ran across this piece on Mother Jones. It's the perfect argument for those people that deny the fact that civilians are killed in Iraq. I mean, come on George, who are you kidding?

Blackwater: Shadow Army

BLACKWATER, USA.
The Things You Should Know:


-Value in 2002: $3.4 million
-Value in 2003: $25 million
-Value in 2004: $48 million
-Value in 2005: $352 million
-Value in 2006: $593 million

Nice raise, huh?

-Percentage of Blackwater holding company Prince Group's revenue derived from federal contracts: 90

I guess you could call them Government Funded.

-Erik Prince's income in 2006: "More than a million dollars."

-Amount Erik Prince has contributed to the GOP and Republican candidates: $225,000

I guess we could say he's Republican. For sure.

-Compensation paid to family of an Iraqi vice presidential guard killed by a drunken Blackwater operator in the Green Zone last Christmas Eve: $20,000

-Penalty exacted on Blackwater operator: Termination of employment, cost of plane ticket back to U.S. ($1,630), and forfeiture of outstanding pay ($7,067), of Fourth of July bonus ($3,000), and of Christmas bonus ($3,000)

-Total financial penalty for killing Iraqi vice presidential guard: $14,697

-Compensation originally suggested by a State Department official in response to Blackwater's accidental killing of an Iraqi bystander in December 2006: $250,000

-Compensation actually paid: $15,000

-Blackwater's reasoning: "A sum this high will set a terrible precedent. This could cause incidents with people trying to get killed by our guys to financially guarantee their family's future."

Unfair? I'd say.

-Slogan chanted by Code Pink protesters as Erik Prince departed hearing: "War criminal".

Do I agree?

Well, actually I do. Since when did the taxpayers of the United States of America start paying taxes to fund a warlord's private army?

I mean think about it people. The US Army comes out everyday with a new list of "Warlords" that it is trying to apprehend. So, I guess Bush's reasoning is,"Well, hell, we gotta fight fire with fire." Give me a fucking break.

I've already mentioned my first problem with this "Shadow Army" and that is the issue with taxes. Why isn't tax revenue going into the FEDERAL military budget? They wanna take money out of schools to fund the war do they? Why not just take a little money from Blackwater?

But, I'm sure my view is a very simplistic one.

So, on to another complaint. The fact that this man is answerable to no one enrages me. His "troops" are getting away with murder. They kill Iraqis, that, by the way, are declared in reports as innocent bystanders. And what happens to the killer, that hero serving his country from the payrolls of a Warlord? He loses their job, forfeits a little money, no big deal. What's so different in a human being in Iraq compared to one in America again? Is an Iraqi life not worth as much? Why isn't this drunken Blackwater "operative" serving time for murder?

And the list goes on...

WE SHALL OVERCOME.
