We call our Marines' actions "virtue," i.e., God's will; yet the actions of Al Qaeda on 9/11 were clearly evil self-will. To God, what is the difference?
I wondered as I thought that this morning if I dared blog it. I immediately thought, and what does that say about my understanding of the state of America today?
Now here comes the government shut-down...members of the Tea Party spoke of their determination to shut the government down upon arriving here in 2010. And they have.
Then they learned that meant all government facilities, including the WWII Memorial so the WWII veterans who were brought here to visit their memorial could not legally do that. Several members of the Tea Party immediately got themselves on television to inveigh against a government that would so heartlessly shut down the government, thus mistreating its veterans.
The Tea Party will go one step too far...they will fail in their mission. They will learn, as we all must, that karma does not play favorites.
Our bad behavior is what bites us in the butt. It is not the Tea Party, it is not Ted Cruz, it is not Al Qaeda, it is not Gertrude Gangelhoffer. It is not them...it is us. And I feel right righteous on seeing that...and so clearly!
We have met the enemy and he is us. - Pogo
Thank You.
The name "Westboro Baptist Church" just flashed in my brain like a neon sign. Rats. And thank You.
