America proves itself to be a “melting pot”

! God Bless America !

We live in a great country. Some people say the greatest country in the world. Ever. Some people in this country join the military and give everything they have. Life, limb, family. Everything. That’s why it’s disturbing when you see a news story where 2 men who live in America, apparently Americans in every way, decide to board a  plane and head to Egypt for terrorist training. One part of America’s population joins the fight to stop terrorism and another part of the population joins the insurgency to spread terrorism. This is very hard to reconcile. I am past the point of comparing Muslims to terrorists. It’s a small number of Muslims literally destroying their own religion. For people who compare the Muslim religion to terrorism is like saying all “Protestants are Nazis’.” It’s just not true. How can it be stopped? I don’t know if it can. It’s understandable if you get people in Afghanistan or Pakistan joining the fight. They don’t know any better. But to have Americans and not just 2, but others joining to kill Americans is disturbing. For people who agree with racial profiling one of the men was named Mohamed Mahmood Alessa. The other was named Carlos Eduardo Almonte. Where do we start? And with whom?

Now on a brighter note let’s see what the headlines are around the web. On Gawker.com They have a post on Rahm Emanuel and Joe Biden having a water fight.

Rahm secretly wished he was shooting children with a shot gun.

I don’t know about you but with the state of America as it is there is something very Romanov about the situation.

They got shot by something other than a "Super Soaker"

Now I’m not saying Washington D.C. has to be in mourning for the destruction of the Gulf of Mexico. But be a little more sensitive. Don’t they see the connection to spraying each other with water? The Gulf is now filled with polluted water. Are you guys doing this sh!t on purpose?

Gulf fisherman said,"We would love to have a waterfight with our kids. But if we spray them with water from the Gulf they will get cancer."

Meanwhile in the bad to worse file BP refuses to tell the EPA what chemicals are in the dispersants they used to break up the oil spill. Some of the workers cleaning up the oil spill are starting to get sick. This was a quote from the article

“They didn’t supply us with nothing,” says Jackson. “Now they’re starting to disperse gloves and hazmat suits.”

This makes me SO sick. Get Mr.BP C.E.O and his cronies picking up their garbage! Or as the C.E.O. of BP previously said,”maybe it’s food poisoning“. It’s comments like that, that make me wish Hitler fire bombed your grandmother’s house during the Battle of Britain. Go to hell BP. Go straight to hell.

CNN's Wolf Blitzer hanging at the super-soaker party. It's pictures like this that make people think there is an Illumanati.

In other news Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard is retiring. Kurt famously drew the cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad which made him the most hated man in the Muslim world. He took the title of most hated man in the Muslim world from previous record holder President George W. Bush. Bush ironically took the title from Salman Rushdie who had held it for over a decade. Westergaard said he wanted to retire while he still had a head.

In York, England the discovery of a gladiator graveyard are giving scientists insight into how they lived and died. Some scientists think the discovery may shine alight on how the NFL treats their old players.

Neither the NFLPA or Commissioner Roger Goodell would comment on the discovery.

In a weekend interview Rep. Charlie Rangel took a dig at President Obama by implying he is borrowing his Iraq War Strategy from Bush and Cheney. Obama responded that Charlie Rangel borrows his political philosophy from Boss Tweed.

When asked to comment on the comparison, Rangel said,"It's not true. Boss Tweed never served in Korea."

“White House to Arkansas candidate: “Your on your own“.  Arkansas candidate responds,” Thank You”.

Rand Paul compares himself to MLK in an op-ed piece.
In other news Danny Devito compares himself to Brad Pitt.

I can see the similarities.

Gulf Oil Spill: How Much Oil Is The Containment Dome Catching? My question is how many BP executives are they catching. Put these f**kers on playing cards and pass them out to the U.S. military like they did for Saddam Hussein and his goons. The funny things is they have caused more damage to the U.S. then Saddam could ever dream of. And when the people who are cleaning up this mess and the people who have to live down there start getting cancer by the cluster full. We will see the effect of chemical weapons and weapons of mass destruction. Let’s see if they lock someone up for this.

Contact your Senator and demand that BP reveal the chemicals in their “dispersants”. I believe it’s nothing more than cancer in a bottle. The Senate switchboard is (202)-224-3121. Let them know that BP has done enough damage and they can’t be trusted. Don’t let the same health problems that befell the 9/11 rescue workers happen to the people of the Gulf.

Everything Afghanistan

56Rebels presents some material that could bring you some insight into what is happening in Afghanistan. Great photos of Afghanistan, Pakistan, the U.S. Military fighting the Taliban. And a rare and behind the scenes video of the Taliban setting up to kill Americans.
