I’m Offended

The current run by Muslims to be offended by everything American, Christian, or cultural has me wondering why these people come to America. What bothers me even more is the way Americans are bending over backwards to accommodate them in these demands. Our schools teach Islam against our will, cities and states consider implementing sharia law, and our cultural identity is threatened by Muslims who are offended by girls in bikinis, or women who don’t wear the head scarves. They are offended that we don’t set aside special prayer rooms in all public places so they can pray where ever they are. One of the things I learned recently is that Obama had a prayer room set up in the Whitehouse for his Muslim visitors and staff. What ever happened to separation of church and state? I guess that only applies if the state is a republic, and the religion is Christian.

What does it matter to our liberal compatriots that I am offended by all of this back bending, and politically correct non-sense?

Is Islam a religion or a political ideology? If it is a pure religion then I agree it has First Amendment protection. If it is a political ideology it has no place within the boundaries of the United States because it is in direct competition with our own laws and political system. Having two systems presiding over the same population is madness.

The problem as I see it is that Islam is both a political and religious system at the same time. They sincerely believe that their religious laws prevail over civil laws. They argue that they cannot abide by civil laws because laws passed down from God prevail over all  man-made law.  There in lies the dilemma. When we pick on them they cry that they are protected by the First Amendment. At the same time it is no secret that Muslims want to spread Islam to the whole world. In my book that smacks of a religious coup d’état. If we pick on them for preaching revolution in their mosques they again hide behind the First Amendment.

If we in America want to tolerate Muslims in this country as a religion, we must make Muslims agree to separate their political stance from the religious one by revising the Koran. That means they would have to agree to live by the laws of the country over the doctrine of their Koran. Secondly, we must strictly limit the number of Muslims within the USA to less than ten percent of the population. That would be an impossible goal because they can double, triple, and quadruple their numbers by procreation and consider it a religious duty to do so.

No doubt Muslims will argue that they cannot revise the Koran since it is the word of God. I am troubled by that. Mohammed sold them a story that he was contacted by God in a vision and by a human messenger who gave him the rules. Yep! I buy that hook line and sinker.

Why didn’t Mohammed just buy into the New Testament bible of the Christians? Jesus who is the Son of God walked this earth and taught his disciples how to live. Four of them wrote the bible and told the same story giving it believability. So, here we have two religions both professing to adore one true God. Both have complete teachings handed to them by God. Except the Islamic version came six hundred years after the Christian version. The Christian version teaches the sanctity of Life, while the Islamic version has no regard for life.

Christ came as the Son of God born human. While Mohammed was a war lord who put together a pretty solid set of laws that came in a dream, and he convinced a desert filled with warring tribes to believe. I add that he made them believe by giving them a choice to believe, or to lose their heads. He was smart enough to incorporate all the cultural components of these tribes to allow them a buy in. In other words, Islam is a religion tailored to the barbaric, killing, nomadic tribes of the Mid East.

I am also offended by the Islamists forcibly passing off their God as the one true God, when Jesus Christ is the Son of the one true God. Since there is only one God we are fighting over a way to worship the same Deity. Christianity was birthed by man who was the SON of God, it spread to men of many cultures. It is my contention that Islam is a worship system that fits the culture and lifestyle of nomadic tribes of the Mid-Eastern deserts. Since Christianity is based on the sanctity of life, and Islam on the sanctity of death I propose Christians are white angels versus Islamic black angels. They are the opposite of each other. Eventually, one will prevail. Since Islam has no conscience relative to killing non believers they will have an advantage. Christianity must rely of the positive side of human nature, the good side if you will, and convert people who are loving, caring, compassionate to all,  even Muslims. I just add that Muslims also claim to be loving, caring, and compassionate every time they are accused of being Radical Islamist Terrorists. What they fail to include is that they only have all these traits when they deal with fellow Muslims. Anyone who is not Muslim is an infidel, and must be eliminated by any means.

I cannot believe that the same God condones both practices when they are polar opposites. My God is loving, and caring and promotes the sanctity of life, not senseless killing. Therefore, Christians and Muslims cannot claim that they believe in the one true God. The Islamic god is an invention of the devil and it appeals to the basic dark instincts of men, like killing, sex, torture, mutilation, and keeping slaves.

Getting back to my original premise for this essay, I am offended by Muslims and all Islamists because they see me as the infidel, and as their enemy. I will not support them under any circumstances, and will resist all attempts to install sharia, prayers rooms, teaching in schools, and conversion to their satanic religion.

I am offended by fellow citizens who condone and preach Progressivism, political correctness, and control. I will resist their attempts to transform us into an all-controlling  communist or Islamic state. To me they achieve the same end.

Just Thinkin’

BG-Banner-Excerpt-Coyotes-Bicycle-copy.jpg

A few weeks ago I re-blogged a post about a new book titled The Coyote’s Bicycle by Kimball Taylor. Being a bicycle nut, I decided to read the story. I am glad I did. The Coyote’s Bicycle is a piece of history from the US-Mexican border town of Tijuana. The story is fascinating because it chronicles the life of a young boy who was abandoned by his parents. The parents and three siblings left their youngest behind to care for an aging grandfather while they escaped to San Diego for a better life.

The grandfather dies, and the kid who is a young teen has to fend for himself. Eventually, he migrates to Tijuana, Mexico. There, he lives on the street watching the actions of the many different kinds of people in the town. He winds up befriending a man who is in the business of escorting Mexicans across the border for cash. He studies the operation and begins to formulate his own ideas.

The border along this section has multiple fences, ground sensors, and a heavy concentration of border patrol people continuously scanning  the border. In spite of all the fences, and the hi-tech sensors people are crossing into the USA illegally by the thousands. There is always a way to beat the many ploys of the USA trying to deter starving people from finding a better life.

What bothered me about this story is the amount of money these people pay to get into the US. As an example this kid who was left to his own devices invented a system and an organization that made him into a multi-millionaire. Why wouldn’t the Mexican and the US governments capitalize on this cash to invent an improved system that would allow the migration to occur legally? Why is it always so complicated when it comes to the rules it takes to allow people into the country?

In between chapters of the story the author adds pieces of history like the southern border problem began in 1962 when the temporary law written to allow a free flow of migrant workers into the country ended. The law President Eisenhower initiated was never renewed to allow the practices to continue. Meanwhile, the farmers were still growing crops and needed help, they continued to hire and never asked questions, and the workers kept coming. In other chapters he covers the migration of old tires, used bicycles, and training camps for the military.

Imagine how simple life would be had Congress taken the opportunity to revise and renew that law. Instead they continued to tamper with social programs to care for the immigrants who arrive here undocumented.

Getting back to the story. The kid studies the border situation by watching and listening to people talk. He learns that there are hi-tech sensors buried in the ground along the fences. They easily detect the clomping of feet walking across. He learns that there are many canyons crossing the border where it is too hard to build a fence. The canyons present a free shot across. He did his homework. Eventually, he builds enough nerve to begin his own business to get people across. He gives every person he transports a bicycle to ride across, and to beat the sensors. The bikes shorten the time it takes to get his customers from the border to a pickup point further in. The bikes are not detected by the sensors thus avoiding a signal to the Border Patrol.

I loved this story, it gave me a new perspective on the hardships of the people crossing over. They lead lives of desperation in their towns, and the Central American countries they come from. I began wishing there was some more humane way to get these people help. I am sure there is.

The one thing this stories makes clear is that building a wall will not deter the flow of hungry people into the USA. They will only use their God-given intellect to engineer new ways to make things happen, be they tunnels, or coyotes with new schemes to smuggle them in. There are enough dollars involved to incentivize almost anything.

It Is a Plane, No A Car, No a Dri-fly

Terrafugia-Flying-Car-Concept.jpg

Ever since I was old enough to read Popular Mechanics magazine I have been fascinated by flying cars. There have been many concepts proposed over the last seventy years, and in the past few years there have been some working prototypes made and demonstrated. The video below is ones such concept demonstrator that might actually be practical.

Flying cars sound so great  when compared to sitting in traffic jams on six lane highways. Imagine what the traffic jam would look like if the same number of flying cars were involved in transporting people to and from their jobs as there are cars today. I think we would need to wear helmets while jogging for fear of being rained upon by falling debris. The number of mid-air collisions would be so great it wouldn’t be long before flying cars would be outlawed from urban areas. At least cars are restricted to well-defined roads and rules for governing movement on those roads like controlled direction, stop signs, speed limits, etc. Where would we put stop signs in the atmosphere, and if we did stop for one would we fall from the sky?

Drone technology is bringing us closer to achieving practical flying cars, and it won’t be long before we are faced with a completely new set of regulations regarding how we dri-fly.
