“It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” Thomas Sowell

It’s said Buddhists are reluctant to perform even the simple act of treading on grass, so profound is their belief in the sanctity of all life, the reverence that should be shown to all life.
Which makes you wonder.
Who was it that decided what’s a weed and what’s a flower?
Who said it was acceptable to ride horses? No one asked the horses.
Who said it was right to zap bugs? Wrestle alligators? Annoy sharks?
Why is it “funny” when there's a film clip of a cow running along a highway to escape the slaughterhouse?
Is it because these living “things” are not as good as humans? That some animals are better than others?
No, that can’t be. In the Planet of the Apes, the apes thought Charlton Heston was an unthinking beast.
And that wasn’t true.
So, who decides who is better than you are?
In our country today it is the Elites. The political elites, and the ones in Hollywood who engage in the most outrageous prejudice, while calling you a racist.
The politicians collect voter data by grouping people together by gender and skin color.
“The black American voters are for us!” they say. “The Latin voters think we’re great!” “Soccer moms love us!” they say, rudely assigning a pack mentality to people.
How insulting.
“Americans won’t do these lousy jobs,” they insist. “We need illegal immigrants to do them…cleaning our houses, picking our crops, minding our children and elderly.”
Rep. Nancy Pelosi said it. So did Rep. Jasmine Crockett. And other elites.
The Hollywood Elites like Eva Langoria and Selena Gomez weep for the illegal criminal immigrants who are being rounded up and deported.
Langoria even misstating facts, saying the targets of ICE raids are “often not criminals but long-term residents and hardworking individuals contributing to their communities.”
These gals favor illegal criminal immigrants over U.S. citizens, and question an elected president’s decision to protect our country, a country that gave both these gals the opportunity to earn them lots of money.
In Planet of the Apes, ape society considers primitive humans as vermin to be hunted, and either killed outright, enslaved, or used in scientific experiments.
That sounds familiar.
In the unfolding drama about Iran, it has become clear how alike Democrats and Iranian leaders are.
For years Obama and Joe have been sending money to a country that is described as the State Sponsor of Terrorism.
Iranian leaders can lie with impunity. It says they can in their Koran. You can’t trust them to make a deal and keep their word. It says they don’t have to in their Koran.
Ditto for Joe and Obama and the Democrats. Without the Koran.
Iran’s a problem. They, like the Democrats, love Death more than Life, not caring if they blow themselves and the rest of the world to smithereens.
Still, I cannot feel good when I think about the Iranian people waiting to be bombed. Like the animals waiting to be killed. Or the bugs waiting to be squashed.
And when Iranian heads of their military are killed during bombing raids, it still feels wrong to celebrate it, although they would certainly celebrate if they succeeded in assassinating Donald Trump.
It is a heavy burden our President and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu carry.
War never works out for anyone, but there does come a time when there is no other choice.
Interestingly neither Trump nor Netanyahu want needless destruction of human life.
Unlike Democrats who are unphazed by the abortion of babies; the death of 13 servicemen in Afghanistan; the cold blooded murder of Asli Babbitt; the slaughter of our ambassador and three Americans in Benghazi, while Obama slept and Hillary failed.
Trump and Netanyahu are leaders who do what is right for the sake of their countries.
They are leaders who want to make America and Israel First, not America and Israel Dead.
Because they know, war is hell. And the last resort.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots
