The sheer unmitigated gall of some people

Hamas declares an end to their cease fire. Oh this one is rich. Hamas has declared that their "cease fire" is off since the Israelis killed one of their leaders today with a helicopter mounted rocket attack. What cease fire??? This helicopter attack was precipitated by the most recent suicide bombing.

How incredibly absurd for these criminals to have the gall to say that they were observing a cease fire. All the while continuing their policy of filling their young people full of their poisonous and hateful propaganda, which takes the lives of their young men and women and the lives of the innocent. Nothing is more intractable than the problems in the Middle East, but the Arabs do themselves a huge disservice with these acts. How can they possibly take the moral high ground in the eyes of the World while they continue to kill women and children going about their daily lives.

Alabama Judge Ray Moore refuses to remove statue to the 10 commandments. This man is particularly disturbing. Sworn to uphold the Constitution and the laws of the land this redneck bible thumper has refused to remove a religious monument which he erected on State owned land (in the dead of night I might add). The sheer gall of this man!

One of the tenants of this great Republic is the separation of Church and State. Some of the greatest thinkers of their day upheld this truth to be self evident when they created the Constitution of this great land. Apparently Judge Moore thinks himself much cleverer than our founding fathers. But what is worse, is that when faced with the decision of his own peers who have upheld this separation, this great juristprudential mind refuses to uphold the rule of law. And this person is a Judge? Very disturbing.

A fundamentalist is a fundamentalist regardless of which god he or she follows. Fundamentalism is in my mind the biggest threat to the continued survival of the human race. Fundamentalism creates nothing good, and creates religious, social and racial strife. I reserve my greatest disdain for people like Hamas and Judge Moore. They take their religion and twist it into their own purposes. It is despicable. (Common Mike tell us how you really feel....)




OBCD today: Lili Haydn's new CD. Particle's CD. Really didn't have much chance to listen to anything else today.

Still reading Morris' Roosevelt.
