Backbone

Every time I read Fred Thompson I like him a little more. He makes so much sense he just couldn’t be elected president.

Could he?

Maybe we just need a little backbone.

This rewriting of history through omission wasn’t some government policy. It was the result of individual decisions in local schools by teachers with large populations of Muslim students. Unfortunately, many of these students have been taught by parents and mosques that the holocaust never happened and that the Crusades were an unprovoked attack on Islam by European Christians. History books that present these events in any other light, they believe, are part some giant conspiracy designed to attack their very religion.

If anybody needs to hear these facts, it is the children who are being abused by those who are teaching the same hateful lies that have helped turn the Middle East into the self-destructive and often suicidal mess it is today.

Another groaner from mom.

Get your rim shot ready.

The Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, while visiting a primary school class, find themselves in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings.

The teacher asks both men if they would like to lead the discussion of the word “tragedy”. So Rev Jackson asks the class for an example of a “tragedy”.

One little boy stands up and offers, “If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a runaway tractor comes along and knocks him dead, that would be a tragedy.”

No,” says Jackson, “that would be an accident.”

A little girl raises her hand. “If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.”

I’m afraid not,” explains Sharpton. “That’s what we would call a great loss.”

The room goes silent. No other children volunteer.

Reverend Al searches the room. “Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”

Finally at the back of the room little Johnny raises his hand. “If a plane carrying the Reverends Jackson and Sharpton were struck by a missile and blown to smithereens that would be a tragedy.”

Fantastic!” exclaim Jackson and Sharpton, “That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?”

“Well,” says little Johnny, “because it sure as heck wouldn’t be a great loss, and it probably wouldn’t be an accident either.”

I live in a Red State now!

Just look!

Any attempts to correlate that map with politics will result in a lot of correlation.
