I’m not kidding. I honestly wonder what is being taught in our
schools these days. Actually, I know
what they’re teaching because I have three daughters, and I’m unimpressed with some
of the stuff they have been taught.
Fortunately, I intervene when I am aware, so
that my children are not brainwashed by popular cultural thought.
For example, we explained to our kids (at an
early age) that it has never been proven, nor do I believe there’s such a thing
as “ man made global warming”. As a matter
of fact, the followers of the Church of the Environmentally Religious (as I
like to call modern day environmentalists), gave up on calling it Global
Warming, so they changed it to “Climate Change”… Oh Really?
I prefer to call it “The Hand of God”.
Ok, so Mother Earth has cycles of climate “up’s
& down’s”. It couldn't be Solar Winds could it?... Oh Noooo!...
It’s pretty easy to see from the outside looking
in that, if it’s a man made problem, then a government wants to punish, penalize
and tax it… Basically, another feeble
attack on Industrial Capitalism, if you ask me, and that’s when “Our” money
ends up in “Their” pockets…
Let’s face it… If something is caused by “The Hand of God”,
well, then governments are just “sh!t out of luck”, as far as “taxing” goes.
I understand how kids these days actually believe
in man made global warming. It’s because
it gets shoved down their throats day after day at school and on TV. It’s insane!
But I digress… Let’s move on to a recent observation of
mine.
A while back, I accompanied my wife and her
family to an event in San Antonio. We
had a blast: However, while attending a poolside cocktail party, I noticed a
young woman wearing a “Choose Peace” T-Shirt.
Do what?
“Choose Peace?”…
Let me quote a great American Patriot, Ted
Nugent, by saying “ARE YOU KIDDING?”.
Now let’s get something straight… You can choose to make peace your goal, you
can choose to take steps to negotiate with tyrannical countries and their
leaders, you can choose to ignore tyrants (or terrorists) a hope they aren't emboldened
by your naiveté, you can even choose to make peace the goal through military strength,
but you can’t choose peace, (as an outcome) anymore than a kid can choose not to
be bullied…
A nation can take steps to achieve or
maintain peace, but achieving and/or maintaining peace is a result, not a
choice, and there’s always at least one crazy dictator (or radical religious
factor) who wants to kill and take over the weak (and sometimes, the not so
weak).
Back to the bullying analogy, I can see it
now. A bully decides to pick on a random
smaller kid, and the kid says “Oh, you can’t bully me, I've chosen not to be
bullied”…
Oh… That takes care of things… I’m sure the bully will apologize and go
look for another victim…
Like that’s gonna work!
In all honesty, what happens next is the kid
ends up getting the crap beat out of him…
I really wanted to tell the poor misguided
girl, with the “Choose Peace” T-Shirt that she was a delusional moron, but you can
never debate common sense with some of these people.
Choices are only points of direction, while
Goals, such as “World Peace” have to be earned, and I’m sorry to say that an
idiotic T-Shirt won’t quite get her over that hump…
