And Redtop, please take no more offense than I took at the insinuation that I am a traitor.
I don't think I insinuated you were a traitor....
I said.....
I get the feeling he may be a bit biased and on the side of , lets say , the not so trust worthy people.
If you think that is insinuating your a traitor then so be it. Because you may align yourself with a side I don't agree with , nor have any kind words for doesn't make you a traitor. Even in my narrow scope. I may find you mis-guided , or believe your dead wrong. But until you pick up a wepon to fight FOR them....or denounce your citizenship , then your not really a traitor...just a person with whom I totally disagree with.
I'll sum up what I said and deleted....
You have NO IDEA what a terrorist is. You can't tell me if you were in a room with 100 muslims , and 10 of them were terrorists that you would have any idea that they were. None what so ever.
I don't read the koran , nor will I ever read it. I don't want to try to understand what it is that I did wrong other than being born an american , that pissed someone off so bad that an entire muslim population wants me dead. Not to mention my family , friends , aquaintences or anyone that isn't a muslim. And , you can set there and tell me that not all muslims are like that. That could be and probably is right. But , which ones are not that way? Anyway to tell?
Do the good muslims wear a ribbon or something stating that they are not big believers in my dieing? T-shirts that may say "Leave RedTop and freinds and family alone". No I didn't think so. So bascially I have to believe that they aren't all like that, yet have no way to know that JoeJihad that is riding the bus I am on is just a good ole boy muslim tanking a ride , or a terrorist scoping out how to blow this bus to bits in a few days while I may be on it. HE smiles and talks and has a plesant dimenor about him , all the while planning on killing a bus full of people. Seems like there were some guys back a few years ago that acted that way. Let me see....OH YEAH...the flew some planes into some tall buildings....maybe you remember that.
This is where I have drawn my line in the sand per se'. I have seen very few leading muslims come out and flat say that they are against what is going on with this extremist crap. Very few. SO I don't trust any of them. None what so ever.
I'm a christian white male just trying to make it to retirment. I have goals and dreams like most Americans. I have grandkids , neices and nephews. I have a loving wife and just go threw my day doing the best I can for her and myself. I have a couple of kids. I served my country from 1981 - 1985 in the U.S. Navy. None of what I have done in my life warrants my being killed because I am some type of infidel in the eyes of a few muslims. The very ones I cant tell from another one.
But yet , you seem to speak to the ole Rodney King theroy of..."Can't we all just get along"? Well No.....We can't. And personally I don't give two cents to make an effort.
There are people here in this country that want your butt just as dead as me. I fyou live in the U.S.. But you go on with the side of being nice to all. Trying to be that savior of all mankind. ME....I'll just make sure the guns are loaded in my home. I'll make sure that I pay my taxes. I'll make sure I do what I can for my family , friends and those I choose to help. I'll go on providing for my wife and I. I'll attend my church. I'll take in some Football , basebball and a race or 2 on TV. I'll play my Golf , fly on my puter and live my life the way I WANT TO.....and I WON'T LIVE in fear of some Muslim whack job that wants to hurt me. I just won't have anything to do with them.
If I ever have to...I'll make sure he sees Allah LONG BEFORE I see God.
I'm sure this is not what you wanted to hear....but...what can I say.
