A Necessary Clarification

As I have written on my blog a good number of times, my blog is not at all about me.  My Blog is, however, about my take on the current political events of the day.  As it is written in my “About Me” section on my Blog, that I am a former  so-called “Reagan Democrat,” or a “Blue Dog Democrat” or more simply, a “left of center” type person.  However, during my tenure of being a Blogger and Political writer and seeing how I watched how this past election went down; my political philosophy changed.  This is still allowed last time I checked.  I just felt that the Democratic Party had succumbed to the teachings of identity politics, not to mention all the socialism that is poisoned that party beyond repair.  For Clarity’s sake, I essentially came to the same conclusions that Former President Ronald Reagan came to long ago, albeit much later in my life.  Thus, one could call me a Conservative.  Although, I will be the first to tell you, I am just not quite ready to don my elephant button and become a sworn Republican just yet.  For what it is worth; I tend to lean more libertarian on social issues; however when it comes to defense and foreign policy I am quite the “Neo-Con” as those who are isolationist or Anti-Semitic would call me.

Having said all of this, I feel the need to make something very clear.  For those of you who read this blog on a daily basis or happen to stop from a reference link or what have you, you know that I am someone who is keenly aware that the War on Terror is a very real issue.  I am also aware of the fact that the Islamic-Fascists want to impose a strict form of Islamic law in this Country.  Having said all that, I feel the need to make a clarification on where I stand on this issue.  The Anti-Islamic-Fascism crowd is divided into two camps —– The first, is quite a noble and intelligent crowd, who know that the Religion of Islam has been hijacked by a group of bloodthirsty killers, who hate America and our way of life; and want to see this Nation destroyed.  The second crowd is such that I hate to even waste my time even writing about them.  The second crowd area group of people, who personal intellect is that of a primate; they are those who believe that all of those, who practice the religion of Islam and those who are of middle eastern descent , are, in fact, those who want to engage in acts of terrorism.

Let me be clear; I stand with the first noble crowd and not with the second crowd.  The second crowd is nothing more than racist bigots, who employ the tactics of the far left in this Country and engage in the practice of collectivism; or as it is commonly known as “Guilt by Association.”  This is the same sort of tactic, which was used by the racist bigot Democrats in the south back in the days before the Civil rights act of 1964. Their reasoning was that the entire Negro race was evil and that it must be contained.  This was, and still is a flawed mindset.  What saddens me greatly is that there are those, who refer to themselves as conservatives that cling to this idiotic mindset.  Peradventure that I should say that, these people are no more “Conservative” than I am a damned sworn Marxist.

The reason why I am even writing about this is that I happen to be a user of the social network Twitter, which is quite the marvel of the twenty first century. For those who happen to follow my “tweets” as they are called; know that last night and early this morning, I was engaged in a “Tit for tat” with a group of so-called Conservatives whom, I felt, were engaged in this sort of idiotic mindset.  In subsequent conversation with the lot of them, I discovered that I perhaps was a bit early in my judgment of them.  For this a greatly apologize.  Although, I did block one of them, as she did hurl an undeserved salvo at me and call me a “Liberal.”  In some respects, I might just be a liberal, albeit a “Classic Liberal”—- the different there is as wide and deep as the span and depth of the Grand Canyon.  I say this because I feel that Religion’s involvement in the Government is quite wrong, however, I do believe that the Government’s involvement is private industry is quite wrong also, not to mention it goes against the strain of what this Nation’s principles were founded upon.

I will end this rather long rambling piece with a dire warning to those who follow me on Twitter.  If you follow me and I follow you; and you happen to post something on twitter that I happen to think is racist or bigoted, I will call you on it.  I make no apologies for my feelings on this subject.  Just to be clear; there is nothing at all wrong with being concerned with the Islamic-Fascism movement, and being one who stands up against the terrorists who want to destroy our country.  However, we must not allow ourselves to be overcome with feelings of hate towards the race of people or toward those who practice a form of religion that was simply hijacked by those who are on a political mission to destroy our Country.  If we do this, we are no better than those, who wish to destroy us.
