"Rattlesnakes and Muslims
As long as we insist on maintaining the "moral high
ground" we will NEVER win the war on terrorism. We're in a
conflict in which we absolutely insist in playing by the rules against a
maniacal group who has no rules. *
Rattlesnake
Logic
After
the Boston bombing, the news media spent days and weeks trying to determine
why these men did what they did. They want to know what America did to make these brothers so angry with us. They want to
know why these men were not arrested before they did something so
terrible. The media is in a tizzy about this new era of homegrown
radicals, and about why they could live among us and still hate us.
A friend
of mine from Texas explained it all to me: Here in west Texas, I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us. I have
killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a rattlesnake on
the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the shop and
on the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.
I kill
rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with
poison. I don t stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me; I know it
will bite me because it's a rattlesnake and that's what rattlesnakes do.
I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake - I just kill it.
I don t
try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live with the
rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me. I just kill them. I
don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see if I can find out where the other snakes are,
because (a) it won t tell me, and (b) I already know they live on my
place. So, I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.
I don’t
look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous rat
snake...I just kill it. Oh, and on occasion, I accidentally kill a rat
snake because I thought it was a rattlesnake at the time. Also, I know,
for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out there in the
brush. In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of
rattlesnakes. Do I fear them? No!

I like the Texan's Philosophy, don't you?
