2008 Soap Box Archives Us Or Them The other day I heard the account of a young actor being knifed to death in London, and the report contained the information that there had been a lot of knifings in the UK in recent times. This was a shock to me. While I know there is not a place on Earth where crime doesn't exist, I had always thought of England as being a place where violent crime was rare, a far cry from the large cities in the rest of the world. I had always thought of London as being an example of civility and gentility, not the kind of place where you would imagine some punk sticking a knife in somebody. Unfortunately, there is an elephant in the living room and most of the people in the western world are trying to ignore, ignoring it at their great peril. What it comes down to is we can no longer ignore the fact that the violent problems in the world are caused by violent people. They're everywhere and they prey on an unsuspecting and naive public and until the decent, law-abiding people in this world stand up and say, "Enough!!!!!" It is only going to get worse. It has been proven for decades that we can't depend on our politicians. They are so isolated from life in the street it's a wonder they can find their way home. When crime increases their answer is to outlaw guns, in other words strengthen the criminals by taking the guns away from the victims and letting the criminals who have them illegally already, keep them. When I look at the naiveté in our federal government who are so far removed from the real world it makes you want to scream. They simply refuse to face facts. Fact-- the overwhelming cause of terror in the whole world is caused by radical Islam. Government's answer-- don't use the word jihad anymore. It may offend somebody. In other words if we'll just be nice to them maybe they'll just go away. Crime in this nation, and the world, is mostly caused by the same group of people, over and over. Go to jail. Get out of jail. Commit another crime. Go to jail. Get out of jail. Just keep on until you kill somebody and maybe, just maybe, you'll get a proper sentence. The streets of our major cities have been dangerous for a long time but now even the streets of the small towns have been invaded by the lawless. And even when some slug commits a crime so horrible and grisly that the newspapers won't even print the actual account people still rail about the death penalty and even when it's given it takes decades to get it carried out. People it's us or them, it's us or the criminals who want to rob us and hurt us, it's us or the terrorists who want to destroy us… we've got to start facing the facts. Iran is, no doubt about it, working towards building a nuclear bomb. Street crime, regardless of the massaged statistics, is getting worse all the time. Crime against young women is increasing, how many coeds have you heard about being brutally raped and murdered in the last year. School shootings basically didn't exist until a few years ago, now they are a very serious problem. We have sleeper cells of terrorists living in our own country. And what do we do? Bury our heads a little deeper in the sand, become a little more politically correct and, keep putting panty waist judges on the bench and give up pieces of our cities one at a time. Total insanity Remember America you still have a right and a duty to protect your home and family. Pray for our troops What do you think? God Bless America June 23 , 2008
