FAST CARS AND JIHAD
We Americans are a people that have a love affair with our automobiles that is not matched in any part of the world. We pamper them and keep a good coat of wax on the paint, and we can become completely hysterical if we happen to get some scratches on them. If we happen to be driving down the interstate and we hear a loud noise coming from under the hood, most responsible drivers will pull the car onto the shoulder of the road and turn it off, most of the time the driver will ask the question, “What the hell is wrong with the car?” Then he will call a qualified mechanic to fix the problem. If a driver happens to be irresponsible he will ignore the noise and continue to drive the auto until the engine is ruined and it dies and won’t go any farther. Driving a car or doing anything else requires a lot of common sense; from what I have seen the past few days I feel that our nation is in dire need of an infusion of common sense.
Last Sunday night our president went on nation wide television and assured us that he had the terrorist problem under control. From what I witnessed we Americans were lectured about being tolerant of an ideology that has moved terrorists to kill as many of us as possible. We were also lectured that we Americans need to have more gun control laws. Instead of dealing with the root of the problem all we seem to hear is the usual clichés. Individuals who were here in this country legally have perpetrated all of the major terrorists attacks in this country. Whether our president wants to admit it or not these individuals prescribe to the literal teachings of the Koran. In the case of the husband and wife team that killed the 14 people in California, the woman was an immigrant that was supposedly “vetted” and was determined to not be a threat. In my opinion the current government vetting system is about as efficient as the Affordable Care Act.
Instead of being reactive, candidate Donald Trump offered a proactive step to TEMPORARILY stopping immigration of people from Muslim nations; he also said we need to find out what the hell is going on. Immediately he was attacked from all sides, even fellow Republicans. He was called a Fascist and was accused of being against our Constitution. We need to remember that the primary duty of the president is to protect the people of this nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. Another thing, the freedom and liberties this country has to offer is for the citizens of this nation, not the whole world. When people immigrate to America we expect them to assimilate into our culture and obey our laws and constitution, not to change our system into the same kind of hellhole they came from. What Trump proposed is nothing new; Jimmy Carter did it during the Iran Hostage Crisis. According to a Breitbart survey on American Muslims, many agreed that violence is a legitimate response to those who insult Islam. A full majority of 51% agreed that "Muslims in America should have the choice of being governed according to Shariah.” Sharia Law is nothing less than the Nazi-ification of a religion. Sharia authorizes murder against non-believers who won't convert, horrific oppression of women, the execution of gays, and the extermination of Jews.
If I loaned my car to someone I would hope that they had enough sense to pull it off the road if it developed problems and I expect the same from our leaders who are in charge of a vetting process that is also having problems. I also have a suggestion for the other republican candidates, get over your hatred of Trump, start debating him on the issues and forget the usual worn out clichés.
