Hey everybody, have a few things to get to today, so no time shall be wasted. As you can tell I am having a very productive day at work thus far, not near as productive as the Israeli soldiers who recently stopped a suicide (homicide??) bomber at a checkstop. This young man admitted that he was carrying explosives and that he was scared and didnt want to die. The soldiers helped the boy disarm the device, with the aid of a robot, and returned him to his family. It has since been revealed that the boy has a diminished mental capactity. Thats just awesome, the PLO recruited a mentally handicapped person to kill Israelis. Gives one a little bit of insight into what exactly the Israelis have to face everyday. These Hamas butt licks are trying to coax naive youngsters into killing themselves and innocent civilians to further their own murderous motives. I bet you any money no children of prominent PLO figures are ever asked to sacrifice their lives for Allah. This is nothing short of disgusting and shameful.
My next question would be why do people continue to make excuses for these lawless terrorists? I have mentioned previously that concessions dont work. The only one they want, in this specific case, is for every Jew to be pushed into the sea. This cant and wont happen, so they continue their "armed stuggle" against the supposed infidels. If you dont believe in good vs evil, take a look here. The PLO and Hamas operate under the mantra of death while the Israelis cherish life. It would have been both easy and acceptable for the checkpoint soldiers to fire on the suicide bomber. Instead they chose to spare his life and help him to perhaps live out his days in peace, rather than die in pieces.
This whole episode begs me to take another shot at the UN. While I am more than a fan of their humanitarian efforts (except for the Oil for Food scam) I still feel they have lost their relevance and are in danger of becoming or have already become a modern day League of Nations. The UN as it stands today is a corrupt and inconsequencial body that allows too many nations to use it as a forum to espouse their anti-Semitic, anti-America or anti-Israel ideals. For the UN to regain any relevance it needs to turf these nations who abuse human rights at home but use the UN as a platform to condemn other nations. The standards for entry must go up dramatically and the Security Council needs a makeover. France needs to be turfed and China needs to be reminded that certain responsibilites come with a place of power. (ie Stop threatening Taiwan and stop the human rights abuses).
Okay, thats it for the UN or else I will be here all damn day. The next little tidbit is on medicine, socialized medicine to be exact. Now my conservative brethren may disagree, but I dont really have a concern with public health care. We pay for health care either through taxes or insurance premiums, so it might as well be open to everyone. What pisses me off are the abuses that go on in socialized medicine. Unnecessary hospital visits, unfair billing and the lack of funding make it a nearly unsustainable venture. Health care in Manitoba and Saskatchewan is going down hill fast. Its a crime that people have to wait as long as they do for urgents tests and procedures. Where does all the government money go? I certainly have a great deal of respect for all the health care professionals who fight an uphill battle everyday, but I am sure they see the writing on the wall as well.
Its up to the government to get serious and really step in to remedy the problem before our health care system implodes. End of story.
Sorry about the boredom todays post may have inflicted on everyone, I am kind of tired today. So to close up, just a note that I will soon be linked with BlogsforBush.com. Its a pretty good site that even my liberal friends should check out, that means you Klein. I know you arent really a liberal, you just have some liberal tendencies. (jk)
Also remember to keep Taiwan in your thoughts, its again being menaced by Red China and is a real flashpoint area. Here's hoping my boy W. does the right thing and tells China to back off. If he is serious about the preservation of freedom and democracy, this has to be done. If the unthinkable happens and China invades, look for me to be posting from my M1-A1 (Note to recruiters: Come on, help a Canadian out, let me into the Armored) as I help to send those Red Chinese back where they came from and then hang around for a little sightseeing and Kung-Pow Chicken with my boy Kleiner.
Sorry to ramble on, but in addition to Taiwan, remember those people jailed by Castro and those freedom loving Kurds in Syria who are starting to rise up against their Baathist leaders. And people think America isnt winning the war on terror, take a look at whats goin baby. (See Syria, Libya et al).
Last thing, as per one of my critics, I will try and refrain from calling anyone a pinko. Unless they really need it.
Come Canadians, get your American friends to vote Bush-Cheney 04, you will be glad you did.
