Political Agenda vs Common Sense

April 24, 2007 by RBuffordTJ.

Let me start by saying my political views are more towards the conservative side of the realm, however, that does not mean I only vote Republican nor do I subscribe to everything this party does or plans to do. I do not believe it is the responsibility of the government to moderate morality and many things we see going to the Supreme Court have no right to be there in the first place, such as homosexual marriage, abortion and other social topics that can and should be governed on a state by state basis.

On April 19, 2007 we observed the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing where an American citizen took it upon himself to destroy hundreds of lives with a home made bomb. He was a murderer and a national terrorist, I doubt few would argue with that. He was not affiliated directly with any group, not sanctioned by any group to carry this out and did so only because of his personal beliefs that the government needed to be punished. He was wrong, there is no simpler way to put it.

On that date an online acquaintance of mine posted a so called ‘memorial’ to the victims, mentioning we should remember the fallen then stated this:

” Let’s take back this date from the right wing who hate our nation and murder our citizens. Let’s remember that the greatest threat isn’t from foreigners in mosques, but from paranoid conservative idealogues who wave bibles.”

Some memorial huh? All about the victims huh? I must call Bull Crap on this one, and I have studied his post for days, turning it over in my head and trying to consider it from his point of view only to come to the Common Sense realization that it’s purely his way to spew political vomit against those he hates and not at all a focus on the victims. You should be careful getting into the mindset that the government needs to be punished for what YOU see as criminal, that was the very mindset of the murderer who carried out the attack in Oklahoma City.

We must remove all Common Sense if we are to take his view, to say that our greatest threat was one lunatic in a rented truck with a bomb acting alone and of his own twisted accord. To ignore a untied front of terrorists based in the middle east who’s only desire is to destroy us, our country and us as human beings, would be a fatal mistake. While our remembrance of the Oklahoma City bombing should be for the victims of a twisted mad man who was executed for his crimes, our remembrance of September 11, 2001 should be a constant reminder of an ONGOING threat to our lives.

We are not handling the threat at home like we should in that we have open borders and very little tracking of foreign nationals who enter our country. We contract out our port security to middle eastern countries, the same ones that act like our friends but are not. We play Politically Correct word games so we don’t offend people and heaven forbid we profile the people who carry out these type of attacks. You see, what my aquaintance seems to not understand is that the terrorist from Oklahoma acted alone but our current threat is acting in unison around the world to attack not only us but our allies such as the United Kingdom and Spain, both of whom were attacked by the same group.

Wake up America, its time to take a good hard look at our real threat and stop wasting time bashing Christianity and people who believe its wrong to murder children in the womb when we have an entire culture bent on wiping us off the planet. It’s time to stop using the victims of crime to attack our own government who is just as much a victim as the people who bled and died, remember…”Government of the People, by the People, for the People”! Attacking Christianity, who is doing nothing to harm this country, while ignoring our true enemy who is actively trying to drive us in to extinction is like worrying about a mosquito on your arm when there is a rattle snake pumping venom in your leg!

Common Sense wins again!
