If you think this makes us safer in anyway whatsoever, I have some ocean-front property in Ohio I'd like to sell you. Before, all we had to worry about was twisted religious nutcases blowing themselves to Allah and the seventy-two dog-faced ugly virgins. Now, we have to worry about the rest of the world willing to kill us so they can feed themselves and their own.

There is one reason for all of this; hyper-inflated oil prices brought on by our involvement in someone else's civil war. When fuel prices drop, so will everything else.

If oil prices don't drop, Osama bin Laden will be the least of our worries. Hungry people will do anything to get food. Hungry people can and do bring about coup d'etats. Hungry people are dangerous people, and the worse the oil-price-driven food crisis gets, the less safe we are.

Mexico is barely four hundred miles away. If they were willing to raise hell in Mexico City, who's to say they won't remember the Alamo, and give us a repeat ass kicking? HUH? And it's an ass-kicking we deserve!

I just keep wondering when someone is going to grow some balls and stop the madness. Impeachment? It's still off the table. The judiciary remains flaccid and unwilling to stand up for what's right. Congress is nothing but a pussy convention. The American people are too dazzled by the Democratic Dog and Pony show to give a shit...unless they can't get to a TV because their home loan defaulted, and now they are living on the streets.

So, the next time someone gets a bug up their ass, and blows away a Federal Building, or a skyscraper, don't waste time asking why it happened.


I'll tell you why. Because America has no morality anymore. When turning millionaires into billionaires is more important than making sure that the least among us have a meal, there is no way we can claim moral superiority about anything.

We will pay for this. Perhaps not now, but we will. And, we will pay dearly!

Blessed be!
Pappy
