If it were not so painful, I could almost smile when I watch the evening news and see the little Arab children playing "Kill the soldier" in their schoolyards. Only this time, instead of watching the news slant their reporting into sympathy for the plight of the "poor Palestinians" we're finally getting a glimpse of how it feels when they play "Kill the American soldier" instead of the big, bad Israeli soldier.



Are you not disturbed and appalled by the nightly pictures of mothers holding up memorial photos of their evil, maniacal, suicidal, terrorist children with smiles on their faces? We're so damn afraid of being politically incorrect that we as a nation are encouraged to have nudity, obscenity, gay and lesbian parades on TV and promoted through our newspapers, but come up against the Palestinian or Arabic population and the ACLU rushes out about the 'rights' of these individuals.



People who want to kill us have no rights.



For years, I used to write, "What would it take for us to feel empathy for the regular bombings of Israeli citizens?" I knew then and I've been proven right that it was going to be necessary for we, in America, to experience the hell these savage creatures had thrust upon the world, and especially Israel. It has not happened yet, but we will be dealing with our own bus, school and restaurant bombings before this plays out.



As a result, we are losing our compassion for a culture that is finally making us realize they have changed our lives; and folks, it is only going to get worse. Actually, it already has. We, as a nation, have for the most part been filled with love and good cheer. Therefore, it has come as a shock and we have gone through a physiological collapse of emotions to bring an element of hate into our lives. It is something that we, the good people, have begun to build up: a wall of defense to protect ourselves against the evil entity called Islamic fundamentalism that has been climbing over the hill. We have realized that our leaders do not lead, and worse, they take. So, we are digging in to protect ourselves from the savage people who are out to destroy everything we have ever had or believed.



As corrupt as I believe Israel's leaders (starting at the top) have become, I am astounded with the moronic lack of leadership in our country. We are deluding ourselves with our mistaken belief that "the vote" is going to change the Middle East and that we're going to be liked by any one of the twenty-two Arab lands, which we largely support. That old expression holds true - you just can't buy love. The American government keeps sending those checks, and the Arab cartel keeps voting against us at every chance.



How do we rationalize with a twelfth century mentality? The Arab culture has been stuck in the Middle Ages for, what, a thousand years? Can any of you out there name me anything positive that they have done since the fourteenth century? And don't mention how they have invented algebra. All they have taught in their schools for decades is hate and how to kill. When they 'play dead' in the school yard the classmates cheer the dead 'martyrs'.



Do we actually think that a culture of 1.3 billion people, many of whom still routinely mutilate the genitals of their women and are prone to treat their farm animals a bit better, are really going to grasp the real meaning of democracy? They have never been able to excel in medicine, but they have mastered the art of surgically removing the clitoris. Gawd, what does a trip to the polls mean to them? Their entire culture is based on submission. They live for death, but possibly in a hundred years they might be ready for board meetings.



In the meanwhile, we have to contend with the wild savages that our televisions are showing us nightly, who kill everything in sight and for whom sawing off a head is a good night's work. This is not the fodder for democracy as we know it. But it is the basis for theirs.



Our president talks about how we're going to "hunt down the evildoers" (a.k.a. terrorists) and "if you're not with us, you're one of them." Then he goes out on the golf course with his Saudi pals, who have yet to give their women the right to vote, or even drive.



The name of the game is "oil". It makes no sense for our gas to be inching up to $3.00 a gallon, while at the same time it is virtually impossible to find any enthusiasm for hybrid cars. My son bought a gas guzzling Lincoln SUV that probably gives three miles to the gallon. Yet, he received a $40,000 tax break for that purchase. My daughter bought a Honda Hybrid and was able to take off a $2,000 deduction. Do you see anything wrong with this picture? See what I mean? It's oil, baby.



And, speaking of that. This evil culture and its fatwa and jihad toward the Judeo-Christian world has cost us our innocence. They have just about broken us financially and we are losing our soldiers at an alarming rate to their daily bombs. We are sitting on some of the richest oil wells in the world. Can anyone answer me why we are not reimbursing ourselves with oil?



I do not have the answers, nor, I believe, does our government. Judging by the widespread blunders that our State Department has been making, I don't think we have a clue as to how to handle the situation or the mentality facing us. I do think, though, that it is not to be found in moving Jews out of parts of their state, nor in 'making nice' and negotiating while they rampage through the cities causing murder and mayhem wherever they pass. If anyone should move out of the Jewish State, it should not be the Jews. "Transfer" is a word that comes to mind. The Jewish State belongs to the Jews. But opening the jails to let more terrorists roam the streets is surely not the solution.
