Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?
And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all!
I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.
I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia.
I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat.
I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.
I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.
I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.
I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my government to release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, which are sure to set off the Islamic extremists just as Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago.
In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up Ned Raggett to obtain information, know this: I don't care.
When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care.
When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care.
When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed "special" food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care.
And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and — you guessed it — I don't care!" I don't give a sheet either about those sheet heads!!!!!

Oil crisis is a shame and a farce
Dear Editor:
What kind of people have we become, that we sit still and do nothing, while the "shadow government," (spoken of by President G.W.B. early on), rips us off at every opportunity?
Of course I'm speaking of this alleged oil crisis, which is a sham and a farce, designed to further plunge us into the United Nation's "Agenda-21" - and its "sustainable development" initiative, wherein we are to be leveled down to third world status, economically.
In this instance, regarding the fraudulent oil shortages, "the plan" is, and has been all along, to, (bring 'em home) - "keep 'em here." (Of the "vision's infamy), - that is, to create such economical hardships for us with ever rising gas/oil prices, folks can no long motor about, for either work or pleasure, - IF they want to feed, clothe, house and otherwise care for themselves.
Make no mistake, these elitist "sustainables" have every intention of using every criminal method on the books, to have their way with every one of us, - as they have so described in their own publications, - namely, to force us to live, play and work, in our own communities, where they'll be no necessity to travel outside of them, to even purchase foodstuffs.
How is that to be accomplished, you may ask? This way. We will be forced to grow/produce our own food, in coop-communal sort of situations. How better, for these elites to exert the control they've always sought, over us, than through contrived shortages of one kind, or another? Fake environmental issues also, come into play in their plans, whereby we can be deprived of our property, if we do not meet/comply with some arbitrary environmental standards.
We can unequivocally state the proceeding, because we've read 'their' plans, on all fronts, for the United States, - including the "wilding" of half of its land mass, where little, or no "human habitation" will be allowed. Just how anyone can believe this will not impact on THEIR property rights, is beyond me. Technology exists that, if used, would "persuade" folks to pull up stakes and relocate, where no floods, fires, or other disastrous events might occur.
But, back to the purpose for this writing, which is the current exertion of our wherewithal, at the pumps and for home energy use. For this, more than ever there should be an UPROAR, due to the discovery of 184 BILLION BARRELS of oil sitting off the Louisiana coast, in the Gulf of Mexico. - AND, the fact that OIL IS A RENEWABLE RESOURCE, according to the experts in the field!
Let us not simply lay down and let the controllers walk, (they'll be riding!), all over us. Let's let our voices and IRE be heard in our government's offices, due to the tyranny being purposefully perpetrated against, "we, the people."
Sincerely,
