THE RELIGION OF PEACE REALLY SPHINX

Allow me briefly to quote out beloved Nincompoop in Chief to educate you a bit on Islam. As Barry "Choom" Obama said:

"[America and Islam] ...share common principles of

...JUSTICE...

 

 

...AND PROGRESS,...

 

...TOLERANCE...

 

...and the DIGNITY OF ALL HUMAN BEINGS."

So what are the fun-loving Middle-Eastern Hippies of Peace, Hope and Love up to now? Well, in the spirit of tolerance and progress, the wacko clerics who've come to power in Egypt are demanding the Pyramids of of Giza be destroyed.

Yeah, right Bawb. You're getting out of hand again. Well, apparently so is the Washington Post these days as well:

"Radical Muslims want to tear down Egypt's pyramids and take over the world. The least the rest of us can do is take them seriously.

Islamist political victories in Egypt have invigorated the debate in certain circles over what to do with the country’s historical sites, or as the extremists call them, the symbols of pagan idolatry. The most pious Muslim theologians do not see the ancient statues, carvings and pyramids as important tourist destinations so much as affronts to their beliefs. Bahraini Sunni leader Abdal-Latif al-Mahmoud called on the Egyptians to “destroy the Pyramids and accomplish what [Egypt's Muslim conqueror] Amir bin al-As could not.” Abdel Monein Al-Shahat, a leading member of Egypt's radical Nour party, suggested that should the pyramids be too difficult to dismantle, structures that have stood for five millennia ought at least be covered in wax to hide them from view."

 That's just the tip of the bloody iceberg. Read the REST OF THE STORY here.

To those who might say this crap is just too crazy to happen, we need only remind you of what happened to the 5th Century BAMIYAN BUDDHAS in 2001.

 

So, if seeing this Wonder of the World is on your Bucket List,  you might want to consider getting around to it post haste before progress and tolerance overtake it.

WANT TO SEE HOLDER RAIL AGAINST IDS? SORRY, YOU NEED AN ID.

Yes, that's right, as Attorney General Eric "Fast & Furious" Holder and some of the top NAALCP big wigs got together to rage against the state of Texas for being racist and violating minority civil rights for wanting to require a photo ID to vote, you couldn't get in to see them do so unless you presented not one but two forms of government-issued IDs.

As usual, the press was totally oblivious to the hypocrisy even as security thugs demanded of them, "Vere are your paypas?!?!"

Voting is a bit more important than attending a speech. Aren't they being racist and violating the civil rights of those who didn't have two forms of ID to enter?

IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' GREEN

A friend sent me this little piece, author unknown, and it was just too good not to share. The hell of it is, I remember nearly all of these things, with the exception of fountain pens (we used stone tablets). My curmudgeon status is coming along nicely.

Being Green

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.

The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days."

The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."

She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.

Back then, we returned milk bottles, soda bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycled.

But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.

Grocery stores bagged our groceries in brown paper bags, that we reused for numerous things, most memorable besides household garbage bags, was the use of brown paper bags as book covers for our schoolbooks. This was to ensure that public property, (the books provided for our use by the school) was not defaced by our scribblings. Then we were able to personalize our books on the brown paper bags.

But too bad we didn't do the green thing back then.

We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every store and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.

But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.

Back then, we washed the baby's diapers because we didn't have the throwaway kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy-gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.

But that young lady is right; we didn't have the green thing back in our day.

Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief (remember them?), not a screen the size of the state of Montana . In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the mail, we used wadded up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn gasoline just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

But she's right; we didn't have the green thing back then.

We drank from a fountain when we were thirsty instead of using a cup or a plastic bottle every time we had a drink of water. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

But we didn't have the green thing back then.

Back then, people took the streetcar or a bus and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their moms into a 24-hour taxi service.. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 23,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest burger joint.

But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?

Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smartass young person...

We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

Please celebrate your freedoms in a safe, respectful, compliant, tolerant, obedient, politically correct and docile manner, in accordance with Federal Law. Failure to do so is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and/or a $25,000 fine.

Yeah, it's a re-hash of last year, but if anything even more pertinent now.

Gen. Washington Kicks Rommel's Ass

Our limey brethren across the pond have voted on who was 'Britain’s Greatest Enemy Commander' and the winner is... George Washington.

GENERAL WASHINGTON
Champion Brit Kicker
Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

The poll was sponsored by the National Army Museum in London. After an online, nationwide poll of Brits, the top five commanders were discussed and voted on by a group of experts at an all-day speaker event at the museum.  To be eligible, enemy commanders had to actually lead an army in the field which left out political pussies like Hitler.

Rounding out the top five, after the father of our country, were:

• Michael Collins- Irish independence leader
• Napoleone Boneparte- Frenchie prick with little guy syndrome
• Erwin Rommel- Nazi Germany's "Desert Fox" of North Africa
• Mustafa Kemal Atatürk- Ottoman leader who repelled Allied forces in WWI

Way to go General Washington!  You're still garnering respect 213 years after your death.
