Letter to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

When I wrote this letter to the leader of ISIS back in March I didn’t expect a reply. The events of last Friday in Paris reminded the world what true evil looks like. Cowardly terrorists kill innocent people because they are afraid to fight someone who can fight back. Baghdadi is hiding under a rock somewhere, savoring the afterglow of Friday night’s massacre. Soon enough, he’ll see a brilliant flash of light as the missile that dispatches his sorry ass to hell does the world a favor.
Terrorism is a zero sum game. ISIS and the cowardly thugs that make it up are on the fast-track to oblivion. Let’s demand that the civilized world does whatever needs to be done to send Baghdadi and his minions to a place far removed from the 72 virgins and rivers of honey they’re expecting.

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

Current Address Unknown

Future Address: Hell

March 15, 2015

Addressing you as Sir or Mr. would imply respect, so I’ll refrain from using either.  As the leader of ISIS, you send your murderous thugs on rampages against innocent civilians, in the name of religion.  While they’re out raping, pillaging, and torturing, you hide behind women and children, afraid to show your face.  If you were a true leader and noble warrior you would face your adversaries unafraid, willing to die for the cause you supposedly believe in.  As the sniveling coward you are, you recruit your fighters as cannon fodder and claim that torturing and killing children, raping and enslaving women, and executing men are all in accordance with your religion.

In the interest of expediency, since I can’t address you as Sir or Mr., let’s agree that I’ll just call you dumbass.  Hey dumbass; you’re insane!…

Platitudes

The morning after the ISIS massacre in Paris, social media is teeming with platitudes like “I stand with France” and “Not Afraid.”  What does this accomplish in the war on terrorism?  Nothing.  The only effective solution to terrorism is bullets, missiles, and bombs.  As a pro-life blogger it may seem hypocritical of me to be advocating tracking down and killing blood thirsty murderers.  So be it.  My advocacy is for innocent human lives at every stage of their life.  Terrorists claim that they wish to die for their cause.  The civilized world needs to accommodate their wishes.

Their is no peaceful resolution to terrorism.  You can’t negotiate with terrorists.  You can’t trust terrorists. Terrorists exploit weakness and cower in the face of strength.  We know where ISIS is based and all we need to do is take the reigns off the world’s most lethal fighting force and let them do what the whole world knows we need to do.  The talking heads in Washington need to place political correctness and indecisiveness on the shelf and commit to doing whatever it takes to exterminate the terrorists and to afford them the same level of mercy they show to their victims.

All the platitudes are fine, and I have no doubt that they are heartfelt.  I choose not to follow the herd with platitudes, but to ask that justice be served.  As I write this, I have no doubt that ISIS sympathizers/operatives are in America and plotting to carry out attacks on our Homeland.  Cowardly thugs don’t scare me and I will not change how I live my life out of fear that some misguided thug, hellbent on killing as many innocent people as possible, will come calling.

Over the last several years I’ve written extensively that I feel we are embroiled in a war of good vs evil.  Just this week, a video of ISIS executing 200 children surfaced, and yesterday they carried out the massacre in Paris.  ISIS represents the epitome of evil and most of the world simply looks away.  We can look away and hope the next attack never comes or we can meet force with overwhelming force and get this over with, once and for all.

The Teacher

I never get tired of spending time with my grandsons and writing about them. When I wrote this piece last November, my oldest grandson had just gone through a series of traumatic events and had come out stronger on the other side. He’s just gone through another trying time and I have no doubt that he will emerge even stronger.
Innocent children can teach us life’s most valuable lessons if we just take the time to watch and listen. All they want in return is our love and our hugs.
I’ve spent most of the last week with both my grandsons and wouldn’t trade that time for anything in the world. They don’t know it, but while I’m taking care of their immediate needs, they are teaching me how to be a better man and a better Pop Pop. I hope that someday they will read what I’ve written about them and know how they changed my life for the better.

An ancient Zen Proverb simply states “When the student is ready the teacher will appear.”  My teacher appeared a little over three and a half years ago with the birth of my first grandson.  Not only is he my best friend in the world; he has taught me more about life, courage, and unconditional love than I ever thought I could learn.  This week he passed an important milestone in his young life that I won’t discuss in this forum other than to say how proud I am of him and how inspired I am by his courage and resiliency.  If we just pay attention, children will show us how to deal with adversity, how to leave it in the past, and how to move on with life, stronger than ever.

Our country allows over a million of its children to be killed in the womb every year.  That’s a million…

Faith

An unexpected crisis reminded me today that we have to view the events of any day in the context of eternity. It brought to mind the day that I wrote this piece; a day when everything seemed to go wrong and I was searching for answers. The problems that we see today as insurmountable will all be dealt with, and life will go on. Any perceived or real crisis that any of us may face, pales in comparison to an unborn child entering one of America’s abortion mills. As long as we are alive we can improve our situation. If our life is cut short just as it is beginning, we lose our chance to change the world. I look into the eyes of my 2 grandsons and I see the promise of endless possibilities. I look into their eyes and I know that with faith all things are possible.

prolifepoppop's avatarPro Life Pop Pop

We all live our lives with the expectation that our next heartbeat will occur, tomorrow will come, and the tiny planet we live on will continue to spin on its axis.  All these things that we take for granted could end in an instant, but we have faith that they won’t.  That’s what faith is; acknowledgment that unseen, but real forces have been put into motion by a higher power that none of us can fully comprehend.  A boundless and abundant universe surrounds us, and instead of marveling at its miracles we spend our time in pursuit of material possessions and temporal pleasures.

We view our brief lives as the totality of our existence, ignoring the fact that we are eternal beings with no beginning and no end. Even though our physical lives are brief, the gift of life is priceless. It must be valued above all else and accepted…

All or Nothing

We live in a violent world.  In America we allow over 1 million unborn children to be killed every year by an industry that makes billions of dollars killing them.  A gang of social misfits calls themselves ISIS and terrorizes the Middle East, and our feckless President finally decides to send 50 special operations forces to the area.  He’s fully committed to allowing our unborn children to be murdered in the womb, but when it comes to rooting out terrorism he’s afraid to do what the whole world knows needs to be done.

The media portrays ISIS as 10 feet tall and indestructible.  In reality, they’re nothing but a bunch of losers killing innocent people with stolen weapons.  The U.S military is the most lethal fighting force in the world.  If their Commander in Chief would allow them to do what needs to be done, ISIS would be wiped out in short order and would crumple under the overwhelming use of force our military could bring to bear.

While we allow thousands of our unborn children to be killed every day, ISIS is raping and murdering women, crucifying children, and coming up with new and more brutal ways to kill anyone who won’t buy into their insane ideology.  The President’s plan without a plan to defeat ISIS consists of half measures and no commitment to getting the job done.  His plan is to do just enough to finish his term before the Middle East totally collapses, and handing the heavy lifting off to his successor.  As far as he is concerned, the reality that ISIS’s ultimate goal is to spread terrorism across America, isn’t his problem.

In life our choices are all or nothing when it comes to accomplishing any task.  Half measures will allow you to delay the inevitable tough choices, but at some point you will have to make the call; all or nothing.  Most of the choices we have to make will not be life or death decisions, but the principle applies, none the less.  We can look the other way as we allow our unborn children to be killed and we can pretend that terrorists an ocean away can’t reach us, but the problems still persist and won’t go away on their own.

Sending 50 special operators to Syria and Iraq does nothing but place our military heroes in harm’s way in order to make a political statement and give the Administration the ‘optics’ that it wants.  While 50 of our special operators could quickly dispatch 10 times as many ISIS thugs, they need to be deployed in sufficient numbers to render ISIS extinct and to be home in time to spend Christmas with their families.  If America is not in this to win it, we need to do nothing.

What’s in a Word?

I wrote the following piece in January of this year. Peoples’ choice of words and semantics fascinate me. Our words can be an expression of courage just as our silence can be an expression of weakness. As important as words are to me, I know that empty words that are not followed by action are meaningless. The words we speak and write label us. My words label me as pro-life and I accept this label without apology.

prolifepoppop's avatarPro Life Pop Pop

The current occupant of the White House refers to abortion as a woman’s “core constitutional right.”  I’ve read the constitution numerous times and must have missed the section that affirms one’s right to kill an innocent child right up to the moment of its birth.  Our words have consequences just like our actions do.  President Obama’s words and actions confirm that he is the most abortion-friendly President in history.  He claims to be pro-choice as part of the narcissistic charade he has thrust upon our nation for over 6 years now.   Pro-choice and pro-abortion are one and the same.  If you endorse a woman’s right to choose to have her child killed, you are pro-abortion.  If you’re pro-abortion, at least you have the courage to say what you believe; however misguided your beliefs may be.

I’m proudly,unapologetic about my pro-life views.  There is no wiggle room in pro-life.  Either…

Smoke and Mirrors

Smoke and Mirrors

Abortion is called reproductive health care.  The terrorist attack on the Benghazi Consulate is blamed on a video by the woman who wants to be the President of the United States.  A Delta Force hero is killed in combat in Iraq and the White House twists itself into knots to describe his death as anything but combat related.  Honor and integrity have been replaced with political agendas and outright lies.

Planned Parenthood is in the business of killing babies for money.  The least they can do is be intellectually honest about what they do and why they do it.  Anyone with half a brain knows that if Hillary Clinton’s mouth is moving she’s lying.  And whether the President wants to call it boots on the ground or not, when one of our military heroes is killed in a firefight, he died in combat where our troops were on the ground.

Just like they bleep out expletives on TV, everyone knows what the person is saying and what they mean.  A politician gets caught in a lie and says he misspoke.  Everyone knows he lied but since it’s labeled differently, he gets a pass.  He gets caught telling a series of lies and finally admits to conducting a campaign of disinformation.  Nothing has changed, but the label placed on the lies makes them palatable to the low information crowd.

The abortion industry and politicians have created an artform of calling what they say and do anything but what it actually is.  99% of women will not enter a Planned Parenthood clinic this year, yet the far left and the pro-abortion crowd say that taking away the more than $500 million they get every year from the U.S. taxpayers will have a devastating effect on women’s’ health care.  With the use of lies and creative math, Planned Parenthood tries to convince the world that abortion only represents 3% of their services.  They justify this with their accounting practices.  Walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and get 5 brochures and 5 packages of condoms and, by their accounting, they have provided 10 services.  Walk into a Planned Parenthood clinic and pay to have your baby killed and, by their accounting, you have received 1 service.

No matter how much spin you try to put on the truth, the truth still is what it is.  Whether you choose to call abortion reproductive health care, pregnancy termination, or a woman’s right to choose, it is still a procedure designed to kill a baby.  Whether you tell a lie and say you misspoke, you still told a lie.

I’m tired of being fed politically correct, poll tested gibberish designed to promote agendas and avoid the truth.  If the cause you are promoting can’t stand up under the the light of truth, maybe you should be working for a different cause.  Buying into smoke and mirrors got us the worst President in the history of our country.  It conveys a false sense of legitimacy to disastrous candidates like Hillary Clinton, who belongs in prison instead of the White House. Smoke and mirrors gave us Roe v Wade and a body count of 60 million dead babies.  It’s time to embrace the truth again and to demand no less from everyone.

Legislative Accountability Act of 2013

Legislative Accountability Act of 2013

Our elected representatives pass massive bills without even reading them. ObamaCare had placeholders in the bill where the details could be filled in after the bill, that nobody read, was passed. In November of 2013, out of my frustration with Washington, I published the Legislative Accountability Act of 2013. It was a mix of wishful thinking and apoplexy over the utter dysfunction of the men and women we elect to do our bidding. Nothing has changed, and both parties are equally at fault. Until honor and integrity replace the greed and incompetence of our leaders, I’ll continue to stir things up. The way I see it, they’re too lazy to audit me and too vain to think I’m writing about them.

Legislative Accountability Act of 2013

 

Since the Obama administration took office they have been hell-bent to rush one massive spending bill after another through Congress before the American public could see what was in them; with few, if any, members of the House or Senate even taking time to read them.  These bills were all rushed through Congress without giving average Americans time to review them or comment to their elected representatives, all with the goal of implementing President Obama’s radical leftist agenda as quickly as possible; damn the details or consequences.

Finally, some good news for a change:

The Legislative Accountability Act of 2013 has been introduced in an effort to slow the process down and allow all Americans time to review pending legislation before it can be rushed to passage.  This bill will also require all members of Congress to certify that they have completely read and…

Clueless

As I’ve noted before, I make it a point to follow the likes of Planned Parenthood, NARAL, and NAF on Twitter.  That way, I can keep track of the lies and misinformation they are spreading and call them out in a public forum.  Today I commented on tweets from Planned Parenthood and NARAL and was immediately engaged in a war of words with a clueless pro-abortion lemming with the Twitter handle @IcedFrenzy.

I can only assume from her grammar and writing style that @IcedFrenzy, otherwise known as Alexa, is a young lady with no idea when a human life begins and what the consequences are of ending one by abortion.  She insisted that an unborn child is not a child, but simply a clump of cells.  Her definition of a living child is a newborn taking its first breath.  Unfortunately, Alexa’s attitudes on the sanctity of human life are shared by millions of Americans who are just as clueless as she is.

I invited her to read my blog and learn something, although I doubt she ever will.  She told me to read a biology book. People like @IcedFrenzy are who I’m trying to reach with my work.  Changing the hearts and minds of the Alexas of the world is the only way to end the killing of our unborn children.

I hope she remembers our conversation and I hope that somewhere deep inside her heart I made an impression.  Alexa tried to convince me that abortion is a safe procedure, and took offense when I pointed out that a procedure specifically designed to kill a human being is anything but safe.  As much as we may not want to hear it, speaking the truth will always shine the light on lies and deception.  @IcedFrenzy has drunk the Kool-Aid of the pro-abortion crowd.  Her last tweet to me was “bodily autonomy is very much real. my rights override every single right a fetus has. every. single. one.”

This poor, clueless, individual has no idea that bodily autonomy is a two way street.  The unborn child living temporarily in a woman’s body is also an autonomous human being; a universally unique, separate, living, human being.

If Alexa happens to read this, I invite her to reengage in our conversation.  I may not bring her to the pro-life side, but as long as we are talking there’s a chance.

Viable

One of the abortion industry’s ‘go to’ words is viability. They argue that if a child can’t live outside the womb it’s ok to kill it; for a fee of course. As I pointed out when I wrote this piece last year, the issue of viability and its definition are hard to quantify. Under their definition of viability, a newborn child can live outside its mother’s womb, so it is off limits to them. A newborn child and a child, for many years after birth, cannot live on its own without love and support from others. Bottom line: whether in the womb or not, a child is a living human being that has the right to live. Using words like viable or unfit to live are nothing but excuses for the inexcusable. The abortion debate will continue. The fact that abortion takes a human life cannot be disputed with any degree of logic.

Vi-a-ble: able to live; specifically, at that stage of development that will permit it to live outside of the uterus: said of a fetus or a prematurely born infant.

Many of those lacking the courage to oppose abortion at every stage of an unborn child’s development hang their hat on the issue of viability.  They try to justify the unjustifiable by taking the position that a child that hasn’t developed to the point that it can survive outside its mother’s body can be killed on demand.  They conveniently brush aside the fact that the unborn child, from the moment of conception, is a living human being.  Viability is an inexact determination and a fatally flawed premise on which to base the legal execution of an innocent child.

An unborn child, totally dependent on its mother for survival, is no less human and no less alive than the mother, and deserving…
