Georgia, Not On Their Minds

It has been two weeks since the Russia invaded Georgia and the peace train is still at the station. No word from code Pinko uh... I mean Pink or any of those other pacifist so called peace advocates. I have not seen any organized protest outside any Russian embassy or the UN.

Truth is, I didn't expect any so I'm not disappointed. These observations serve to validate what I believe about most "peace advocates": That is they hate the United States and take advantage of every opportunity to show us how much they do. They have no problem with communism, totalitarianism, or brutal dictators, their objective is to turn our entire country into San Francisco complete with dancing and weekly concerts by groups like Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez and Arlo Guthrie on the white House Lawn. The irony is they care nothing about peace, they're pacifist who don't want the US to project its power as a force for good in the world. They would like nothing more than to turn the Unite States into Switzerland and to have our army replace their helmets with those ridiculous UN blue ones.

Pacifism is particularly vexing to me because its based on nothing, it does not have a foundation in Christianity or Judaism. Far more people would die in the world if pacifist had their druthers and that makes them dangerous in my estimation.

Leave it to you to beat up on a pacifist. (Which is easy since they keep turning the other cheek)
BTW, I think Jesus would disagree that Pacifism has no foundation in Christianity. Jesus himself was a Pacifist. Sermon on the Mount comes to mind, if you want to know more about Jesus' views on the subject.

I think Code Pink is more interested in how the US behaves, especially in re Iraq. So, it is a little silly to want them to protest the actions of some other government. That's like watching the Olympics and being irritated with the Basketball team for not even trying to win gold on the Balance Beam. I mean, they're all athletes, right? No, they have a more specific purpose.

While I am no Pacifist myself, I think they serve a good and necessary purpose in the public discourse. War should always be the last resort. Because of their particular point of view, it is possible that, Pacifists may approach an International conflict in a way that a war monger would completely miss. As a nation we need to hear from both (and many other groups) and decide what is the best course. The best course rarely comes from either of these extremes but I am interested in hearing their points of view, understanding their motivations and considering their solutions.

Generally speaking, I'd rather get drunk in a pacifist bar than with a bunch of Hell's Angels. Not only are drunken brawls unlikely, I'm guessing the chicks are hotter (if you like the librarian type)

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which h...

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a...

Blacks Only Field Trip Revealing

A Michigan elementary school Principal took group of 5th grade students on a field trip to hear a speech by an African American rocket scientist. The only problem: he only took the black students. This incident for this blogger has much larger revelations other than the obvious. This Principal is the prototypical example of the dangers of a left wing education. A huge problem among blacks specifically is their ability to practice discrimination and segregation while simultaneously preaching "equality" and "inclusion". Dicken Elementary School Mike Madison took a group on black students, part of a group known as the African American Lunch Bunch to hear a black rocket scientist speak. The fact that there is such a group at a such a racially diverse school is troubling. Needless to say, the outrage would be manic if a white organization existed and engaged in the same exclusion of black students. In the black left wing mind, discrimination and racism are acceptable ...
