ISIS Beheadings of Christians a Mental Illness Reborn of Dinosaurs

An odd heading but it is entirely true.  ISIS and all their affiliate wannabe puppets are the unfortunate products of a mental illness reborn from the age of dinosaurs.  What the heck does that mean?  What double talk is this?

Recently ISIS putrid decapitated (beheaded) 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians.  As usual it was donned on professionally produced video on the shores of the sea.  Now just consider what it takes to behead ANYONE - Christian, Atheist, Muslim, black, blue or even conjoined twins.  What does it take?  What is the mindset?  What power of dogma can man subscribe to that would enable him (or her) to engage without remorse in the literal beheading of someone totally defenseless?  I have posted about this before so I guess it is sort of therapeutic for me to vent, but the question still remains of how?  There is no other explanation except that it is a severe mental illness derived from the adverse unseen world.  It is an antibody of unnatural animal instincts awaken from the lobes.

Dinosaurs, like modern animals, are territorial in nature.  They protect their own and when feel threatened will attack with lethal force.  What's wrong with this?  Is this not good?  Is this not survival?  Well, let's examine this.  Unlike the other species we have the ability and responsibility to learn and to act against our natural nature in order to grow and develop.  Though we want to, we are not designed to simply act on instinct.  Being accountable for our actions we are to recognize our own wrongdoings and take often difficult steps to correct them.  Animals don't do this and it is one of the primary reasons we have dominion over them.

We don't have to accept the actions or beliefs of others but we are, as human beings, expected to be understanding and accepting of the fact that with billions of existing people there will be billions of variations of beliefs and actions.  For instance not all Christians view Jesus Christ the same way.  Not all Muslims view Muhammad the same way.  It is inherent in our species the ability to persuade others to certain beliefs.  Under adverse influence it is also in our substandard "natural" man to force others and strip them of their liberty.  This is nothing more than throwing a tantrum and expressing intolerance.

I don't care about the bull that these ISIS boneheads claim Muhammad as saying.  I am saying be human for once in your little existence.  You have no right to murder.  Yet, you have every responsibility as a human being to reject any teaching that condones murder of anyone.  To be so weak-minded is to be duped by dinosaur-like beliefs.  You might as well chew meat or tree branches with foaming cud off the side of your mouth.

I will say again that it is the responsibility of the civilized world to not tolerate inhumane blatant actions like this.  Ridding the world of such barbarism is a just cause.  Becoming one against such parasites is vital and necessary.  In a time of growing gaps between people it would be a miracle of epic and positive proportions if we were to unite under the banner of this cause - the eradication of those engaged in terroristic activities.

Again, I give huge "kudos" to Jordan for their swift engagement in retaliation for the murder of their Jordanian pilot.  Now I give huge "kudos" to Egypt for their swift engagement in retaliation for the murder of 21 Coptic Christians by the cowardice group ISIS.

Now, what will the rest of the world do......

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher Performance Review

Every generation of youth goes through excruciating peer and social pressures.  It is part of the human design to go through these trials that we may learn from them in order to benefit the rest of our lives.  Teenagers bear the burden of their entire existence as they grow from youth into adulthood.  Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher is a must read for any teenager or adult wanting to get in touch with their compassionate side in order to invoke a change that can transform the world they live in.

I will admit right off that I have not read the book.  I do a lot of writing but can't seem to sit down to read a book.  I know - weird.  Yet, I did recently see a high school production of this work by a Speech team in Shenandoah, Iowa.  By the end of the performance there were many eyes in the audience teared up.  It made a deep impression on all of us.  Admittedly, I was also affected though I tried to uphold the "manly" state of emotional disconnect.

The main character is a female speaking through her thoughts left behind for her peers to receive.  She committed suicide and included several peers as compounding reasons why she ended her life.  Each interaction between her and various individuals played out, and showed not only the cruelty of how we can treat others, but how blind we can be to the emotional precipice many people walk.

I am 42 years old and many of the instances from my own teenage years still haunt me to this day.  Listing the reasons proves fruitless in the end, but needless to say they did bring me to that brink of self destruction on more than one occasion.  Those years for anyone are among the most tender.  They are a cry of the heart and mind to realize one's own identity, character and potential.  Obviously, the connections one makes with their peers and loved ones become paramount on the ladder of importance.  It is when these connections become ill-fostered that one's self-esteem can become endangered.

It is felt important to list some of these ideas down while they are fresh.  Though an intentionally somber production it was beneficial because it made the audience think and made us identify.  The greatest affect of the performance for me came at the very end.  All the interactions had been portrayed and the final thoughts of the heartbroken young lady had just completed.  At the end, all the participants gazed at the victim of rumors, bullying and labeling.  In a combined regretting tone they all simultaneously said, "I'm sorry."  That was the capstone of the message.  A plea from the living to the dead of actions of contrition as well as guilt of actions which should have taken place.

Sorry was too little too late.  Though this was a stage production, it is a reality day in and day out for countless young men and women across the country and around the world.  That one statement impresses into the soul a permanency of what happened to that young lady.  It is a chain around the necks of all who contributed to her demise.

Though we don't end someone's life we are all accountable for the emotional welfare of everyone we come in contact with.  It is a daily accounting of our personal integrity and uprightness as well as a gauging of our contribution to society and the world around us.

I am grateful for the many outstanding performances of the Speech team at the Shenandoah High School.  In particular I am grateful for the work "Thirteen Reasons Why" by Jay Asher.

Jordan Responds to ISIS Murder of Pilot with Two Executions

ISIS in their cowardly black garments brutally murdered a Jordanian pilot by the name of Lt. Muath al-Kaseasbeh.  In their wicked yet effective video capture they burned the pilot alive while he was in a cage.  I venture to say that the sickening feelings within are similar for most people.  I stopped seeking out these videos long ago but gave in this time and watched the 22 minute production.  It sickened me to no end.  Again, as I've posted about before, what affect does this have on the rising generation?

I give high regards for the swift response of Jordan.  They executed two Al Qaeda terrorists within a couple days of the heinous murder of one of their own.  There is a little positive adrenaline rush in the veins as we hear Jordan vowing swift response.  However, given the military and moral responsibility the United States has in the world I am again sadly discouraged at the response of the President of the United States.  I could care less about the search engines.  I no longer find him worthy of listing his name on my posts at this time.

We are missing an opportunity to provide that healing balm to the world.  These terrorist actions, especially videoed and so promptly posted on the Internet, dump salt in an already festering wound to the human soul.  That is the power of hatred and Satan himself if it is not dealt with with haste and resolution.  It is so difficult to gain an honest coalition from the Arab world in terms of military response in hot spots right in their own backyard.  Just go as far back as Desert Storm and points in the '80s to illustrate this - let alone Afghanistan and the Hamas/Palestinian attacks against Israel.  It is my opinion that now is the time to piggyback on the assertion of Jordan and use their fresh compellings to rally the Arab nations under the banner of cleansing the world of Islamic extremist jihadiism.  Oops!  I'm sorry.  I used a term that the President refuses to use.  Great, I probably have my own satellite by now.

Nobody wants a long drawn out war.  Especially after so many years in Iraq and Afghanistan.  However, I agree with the assessment of most military experts and commanders.  Victory can be had with a swift and resolute response.  Jordan will fold eventually because their forces have little to be desired plus the appeasement pressure from neighboring countries.  Yet, if the United States were to back them and indeed lead them they would stay the course to the end.  The combined force "could" be great enough to conjure a set of kahunas from other Arab nations to join fully against ISIS, Al Qaeda and other imps.  Yes, I believe there must be US boots on the ground.  For those on Capitol Hill that means actual troops on the ground carrying weapons and physically engaging the enemy.  In other words, traditional wartime tactics.

This is a turning point in every live human being.  I gave in and watch the video where this Jordanian pilot's nose and face literally melted off.  It breaks the heart and wants me to rally to some kind of action.  There is no going back people.  The war and Satanic plunder is in 99% of all households that have television, Internet or even a newspaper.  It is there in next-to-real-time video.  Like it or not we are now all accountable for what happens next.  Yes, we will have to answer for it.  Now what do we do?

Senator Rand Paul Sushed CNBC Female Anchor

Senator Rand Paul recently sushed a female CNBC anchor.  Normally I wouldn't find this worthy of blogging about but the arguments are taking a course that is way off base.  This post will be short and sweet and to the point.

Female anchors are coming out of the termite woodwork adamantly saying that they wouldn't tolerate being "sushed" on their own show.  This is bull at it's finest!  Being female has nothing to do with it, and the incident is being used as a vehicle to further the equal gender rights cause and to smear the name of Senator Rand Paul.  Personally I find it irresponsible for any journalist, male or female, to make any assertion of sexism.  Nine times out of ten, anytime you get two people together there will be opposing points of view and even more important character differences.  Quite simply Senator Rand Paul felt like he was being overwhelmed and not allowed adequate opportunity to answer the question given him by the anchor.  Simple as that.  In my opinion she was getting too emotionally involved with the issue of child vaccinations.  She was taking it out on the Senator.

Actually, I give the Senator a big "kudos" for standing up and attempting to put this anchor in their place.  Notice I said "their" place and not her place.  It illustrates that I don't care what the gender is.  Anchors and journalists are not perfect or infallible.  Anyone who claims they are flawless has severe mental issues.  If the interviewee feels they are being taken advantage of it should be their liberty to address it.  Senator Paul could have gotten overly vocal with her.  Wow!  Then we'd be talking about lawsuit.  Never get too vocal with a woman (sarcasm - but true).  I think his reaction was appropriate.  It was a simple gesture to alert the anchor to quiet the soul for a moment and listen and to regroup in a professional manner.

This is where we've gotten over the sexism issue.  It is the exact same with the race card that is so carelessly played in politics.  People tend to expose themselves as pure boneheads when they overreact and prematurely judge sexism against someone over small and frivolous occurrences.

When you bring someone on for an interview you receive the answers to your questions and let the public decide.  You do not go looking for a fight which is what some of these anchors are leaning toward when they cry wolf - or sexism.
