Prejudice

"Donald Trump Draws Fire for Comments on Muslim Database" by Rebecca Ballhaus for The Wall Street Journal - In an article published by Yahoo Politics Thursday, Mr. Trump was asked whether he would consider increased scrutiny of Muslims, including perhaps a Muslim database or special religious identifications. According to Yahoo Politics, Mr. Trump responded: ” we’re going to have to look at a lot of things very closely. We’re going to have to look at the mosques. We’re going to have to look very, very carefully.” In response to a question from NBC News at a campaign stop later Thursday in Newton, Iowa, about whether he would create a database to track Muslims, he said, “I would certainly implement that. Absolutely.” Are talking "Animal Farm" here? Where our Leaders clearly establish a hierarchy with themselves, rich Republicans, at the top? Then subjugating its citizens into classes by dividing them into populations or groups on the basis of various sets of physical characteristics, which is usually based on a genetic ancestry? This is Prejudice! This is not the United States of America! Where everyone has equal rights. I could easily compare his rhetoric to George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, but I'll do one better then that. Donald Trump is using the wave of fear and prejudice, going across this Country, the same way Adolf Hitler used fear and prejudice against the Jews. He is trying to garner your vote by fostering your fear of Terrorism, then pointing his finger at a whole race of people and declaring, they are all guilty! Don't let the seeds of prejudice grow inside your mind. If this happens, then the Terrorism has worked, and we will see the end of Freedom across the World. All Terrorists want is a shift in power, because they have none. They would break down society as it stands today, believing they will be able to take control from the ashes of chaos! We are not illiterate barbarians who follow our leaders blindly, without thought, into destructive behavior which destroys society. If we did, then we too would be Terrorists (Nazis).Terrorists (Nazis) to our own Future!   This is,Believing In The Goodness Of Man,Jim Hauenstein,And, “What luck for rulers that men do not think.” - Adolf Hitler - That's my story and I'm sticking to it!Like what you're reading, or don't like what you see.Set up my Blog as your Homepage,or sign up as a Follower,or leave a Comment,and I'll answer you in a Post.Thanks for reading.

Did You Know Abraham Lincoln Was A Republican?

The other day,my grandson came up to meand asked if I could fix his his fake plastic Police handcuffs.He had jammed the plastic key inside the keyhole of the cuffsand couldn't get it out.I tried to accommodate him but after repeated tries I told him I couldn't do it.He said,"Come on Papa. You can do it. Your sixty years old!"Anthropologists have released more information about a recently discovered extinct human species.We're finding out that early man wasn't very intelligent.They say the species lived in trees,had brains the size of an orange,and plans to vote for Donald Trump for president!And I'll tell you something.When Donald Trump makes a vow,he keeps it.Ask any of his four wives,they will tell you.Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker says that he thinks only 12 states will decide the presidential election in 2016.And if Trump wins,those 12 states will beshock,depression,confusion,outrage,despair,denial,anger,sadness,distress,gloominess,bargainingand finallyacceptance!According to an online poll,Donald Trump is still the front-runner in the Republican primary race.That's very impressive because it's the only race left in the Country he hasn't offended yet!I recently saw an add for men who wear toupees.It read;"Our glue will not only keep your hair on your head,but it will make you attractive to women who have breast implantsand want to marry a Billionaire!"

For Every Hater We Have A Saint

Remember my Post,One Man's Garbage Is Another Man's Treasure?In the Post I said,"I believe, for every doggone hater there is in this World, we have one person equally as good in quality as a human being."
The person who is suspected of being the ringleader of the Paris attacks on Friday the 13th is Abdelhamid Abaaoud. Story by Paul Cruickshank for CNN.The person I feel who offsets this degenerate isDoctor Kent Brantly.A man who went to
West Africa to help the people there fight against a possible epidemic with the
Ebola VirusHe actually caught the virus,but has been cured.The interview was broadcast live withMatt Laueron NBC'sToday Show.If you missed it you can read his story onToday's Health & Wellness website.An outstanding human being,to risk his life to save others!Abdelhamidon the other hand is a coward who sentSuicide Bombers with Gunsto kill unarmedCivilians!When theCoalition ForcesattackISISstrongholds,they concentrate on theirCommand Centers,Training Centers,Oil Producing Facilities,and anyEquipmentthatISIScould use to wage war.All the time avoiding,if possible,Civilian Causalities!ISIS targets Civilians and beheads Women & Children!Vive La France!

The Derriere

I'm the proud Papa of seven children.I started having kids late in life.Which means,my last three children were born 1 year apart from each other.Meaning,I had three kids in diapers at the same time!The oldest of the three was a little instigator.Always daring the younger two to do something funnyor foolish,depending on the idea,while she sat backand watched.(Then they grow up to be teenagers and are still a handful.)Like all parents,when ever my kids got anowie,I would say,"Should I kiss it to make it feel better?"Kids all over the World believe if there parents kiss theirboo-boos,everything feels so much better.One day,after a long day at work,I came home to find the three little ones watching the Disney Channelon TV.As soon as the eldest one saw me,she leans over,from her sitting position,like she was pointing her butt at meand says,"Daddy I fell down and hurt my bottom. Will you kiss it and make it feel better?"All three kids,still wearing diapers mind you,started rolling on the living room carpet hysterically.They wouldn't stop laughing.That was baby humor at its best.And no,I did not kiss her derriere!

To Read Or Not To Read? That Is The Question.

I like to think that I'm an avid reader.Unfortunately,I started reading late in life.I never brought home school books after class because I could get a passing grade without trying too hard.I did try reading comic books as a kid,but never really followed through a series consistently.Not until I was in High Schooland my brother gave me"The Hobbit"to read.After that,the wonderful world of imagination found inside books has been a constant joy in my life.That is why I try writing fiction myself these days.There is also a joy in writing a story where you create a person,place,or thingand it all comes from the imagination of my mind.I'm writing a fiction story right now,where I already have 52,000 words.So far I'm leaning for the name,"Hitler's Medallion."I'm not ready to expose more then the name at this time.So my Blog might not have the strong bite it usually does concerning current events,new technology,or humorous anecdotes. I know I'm repeating myself,but I really want to finish the book before Christmas,query some Literary Agents,and see if they want it.Or I will start a"Kickstarter"project to publish my book.Anyone who signs up as aFollowerwill get a free copyand if I do have to start a fundraising project,the people who donate will receive a copy too!

The Ugly Face Of Hatred

I was gone most of the day,at my favorite mechanic's place,Mark's Automotive Repair,so I haven't had time to write about the tragedy that happened in Paris last night.If you haven't heard by now,you are not paying attention in life,and if I'm the one telling you about it,at this late hour,you're the kind of person who doesn't care what is happening around the World until it affects you personally.I'm not saying that it is goodor a bad way to live,all I'm saying is,"What ever gets you through night!"(John Lennon) I know there are a lot of skeptics out there who will not believe a word any Muslim says right now,but"Muslims Everywhere Condemn Paris Attacks As ‘Inhumane’ And ‘Heinous." by Benjamin Simon for Inquistr. Iranian president Hassan Rouhani released an official statement saying, “In the name of the Iranian people, who have themselves been victims of terrorism, I strongly condemn these crimes against humanity and offer my condolences to the grieving French people and government.”If you would like to help,you can donate throughThe Red Cross and theInternational Federation of Red Cross.Normally I would end the week with something funny,but again ISIS rears its ugly face of hatred to spoil the party.

A lawyer purchased a box of very rare and expensive cigars, then insured them against, among other things, fire. Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile of these great cigars, the lawyer filed a claim against the insurance company. In his claim, the lawyer stated the cigars were lost ‘in a series of small fires.’ The insurance company refused to pay, citing the obvious reason, that the man had consumed the cigars in the normal fashion. The lawyer sued and WON! Jokes4us Dear El Chapo, if you mess with Donald Trump, there will be hell toupee.

Veteran's Day

Unlike my younger days,when I first started workingor even when I was in school,I looked forward toVeteran's Dayfor only one reason.A day off.When I was growing up,I wanted to join the Military as soon as I became of age.But when I was old enough,it was during the tail end of the Vietnam War.It was a time where we had a"Crooked President"named Richard Nixon,and the War was perpetuated for the profits of"Big Business."There was rioting in the streets due to the injustices suffered by minoritiesand women burned their bras in protest of their inequalities.It was also a time for the tail end of being in the Hippie generation.I chose,at that time,to protest against the Armed Forcesand become a Hippie.My Father was in World War Twoand my younger Brother joined the Army when he was of age.Both were proud of their service to our Country.As I got older,I started to notice a change in the attitude towards the Militaryand the attitude inside the Military structure.Today,I salute all Service Menand Women,in all theFree Nationsof theWorld.In the United States we have a Volunteer Armed Forces.But,like in the Vietnam era here,most young menand women are drafted into serviceand risk their lives for theFreedomyouand I have.I thank all of you who have served,who are serving,and those of you who are going to serve!Thank You!
