Rattlesnake logic

Don't know who wrote this but I certainly agree with their concept. As long as we insist on maintaining the "moral high ground" we will NEVER win the war on terrorism! We're in a conflict in which we absolutely INSIST in “playing by the rules” against a maniacal groups “who have NO rules”! Rattlesnake Logic.... After the Boston bombing the news media spent days and weeks trying to determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what America did(!) to make these brothers so angry with us. They want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something so terrible. The media is in a tizzy about this new era of homegrown radicals and about why and how they can live among us and still hate us. A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me: “Here in west Texas, I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and on the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter. I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with poison. I don’t stop to wonder WHY a rattlesnake will bite me; I know it WILL bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's what rattlesnakes do. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake or have a "meaningful dialogue" with it…I just kill it. I don’t try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me. I just kill them. I don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see if I can find out where the other snakes are, because (a) it won’t tell me and (b) I already know they live on my place. So, I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one. I don’t look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out there in the brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? Not really. Do I respect what they can do to me and my family? Yes!! And because of that respect, I give them the fair justice they deserve....I kill them...  As a country, we should start giving more thought to the fact that these jihadists' are telling the world their goal is to kill Americans and destroy our way of life. They have just posted two graphic videos on the internet showing them beheading Americans. They are serious. They are exactly like rattlesnakes. It is high time for us to start acting accordingly! I love this country. It's the damn government I'm afraid of! Look who's new in the White House! Arif Alikhan, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S. Department of Homeland SecurityMohammed Elibiary, Homeland Security Adviser Rashad Hussain, Special Envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference(OIC)Salam al-Marayati, Obama Adviser and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council and is its current executive directorImam Mohamed Magid, Obama's Sharia Czar from the Islamic Society of North America Eboo Patel, Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships This is flat-out scary! The foxes are now officially living in the hen house... Now ask me why I am very concerned! Do you feel OK with this? How can this happen, and when will we wake up? We are quiet while our Country is being drastically changed!

It will be interesting to see what they put in Obama's "Presidential Library" about his early years.  It's unbelievable that in a country where we take notice of many, many facets of our public figures' lives, there's so little we know about our current president, Barack Obama.  For example, we know that Andrew Jackson 's wife smoked a corn cob pipe and was accused of adultery; Abe Lincoln never went to school; Jack Kennedy wore a back brace; Harry Truman played the piano. As Americans, we enjoy knowing details about our newsmakers, but none of us know one single humanizing fact about the history of our own president. We are all aware of the lack of uncontestable birth records for Obama --  that document-managing has been spectacularly successful.  There are however several conflicting oddities in Obama's history that appear to have been just as well managed as the birthing issue. One other interesting thing. There are NO birth certificates of his daughters that can be found.  It's also interesting that no one who ever dated him has spoken up (boy or girl). The charisma that caused women to be drawn to him so strongly during his campaign certainly would -- in the normal course of events -- lead some lady to come forward, if only to garner some attention for herself. We all know about JFK's magnetism, that McCain was no monk and quite a few details about Palin's courtship and even her athletic prowess Joe Biden's aneurisms are no secret; look at Cheney and Clinton, we all know about their heart problems. Certainly Wild Bill Clinton's exploits before and during his White House years, were well known. That's why it's so odd that not one lady has stepped up and said, "He was soooo shy..." or "What a great dancer!" It's virtually impossible to know anything about this fellow.  Who was the best man at his wedding? Start there. Then check groomsmen. Then get the footage of the graduation ceremony. Has anyone talked to the professors? It is odd that no one is bragging that they knew him or taught him or shared a dorm-room with him or ate in the cafeteria with him.  When did he meet Michele? And how? Are there photos there? Every president gives to the public all their photos, etc. for their library, etc. What has he released? And who in hell voted for him to be the most popular man in 2010? This must make you wonder !!!   Why has no one ever come forward from President Obama's past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc?? Not one person has ever come forward from his past. It certainly is very, very strange... This should be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, you may have elected an unqualified, inexperienced, shadow man. Have you ever seen thea movie named "The Manchurian Candidate"? As insignificant as each of us might be, someone we went to school will remember our name or face; someone will remember we were the clown or the dork or the brain or the quiet one or the bully . . . something about us! George Stephanopoulos of ABC News said the same thing during the 2008 campaign. He questioned why no one has acknowledged the president, was in their classroom, or ate in the same cafeteria or made impromptu speeches on campus. Stephanopoulos also was a classmate of Obama at Columbia -- the class of 1984. He says he never had a single class with him. He is such a great orator; why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? Why won't he allow Columbia to release his records?  NOBODY remembers Obama at Columbia University .... Looking for some evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there... but not one remembered him. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, yet they all know me. I don't have one classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia." Nobody recalls him. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, Class of '83 Political Science, and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. I never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack!  And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of -- as we say in New York -- 'the macha' who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human being, who ever met him." Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide school records, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia. Eerily strange?  And there are more interesting questions: Why was Obama's law license inactivated in 2002? It is said there is NO record of him ever taking the Bar exam.  Why was Michelle's law license inactivated by court order? We understand that the inactivation was forced to avoid fraud charges.  It is circulating that according to the U.S. Census, there is only one Barack Obama but 27 Social Security numbers and over 80 aliases connected to him.  The Social Security number he uses now originated in Connecticut where he is never reported to have lived. And was originally registered to another Man (Thomas Louis Wood) from Connecticut , who died in Hawaii while on vacation there As we all know Social Security Numbers are only issued once, they cannot be "reused." Last but not least, why would a self-proclaimed "transparent" president have all his records sealed? Somewhere, someone had to know him in school...before he "reorganized" Chicago & burst upon the scene at the 2004 Democratic Convention.  What is that fishy smell? Unknown writer
