Another Dead Baby

These stories are becoming all too familiar.  Innocent children murdered at the hands of a parent.    What really bothers me about reading these horrific stories is that they could have been avoided.  It’s time to change this conversation and at least start a new debate.  And that debate is sterilization.  Now before you scoff, and think this is too radical, hear me out.  First take the time to read the article I linked about the mother who killed her 9 and 13 year olds and then forced their sibling to put them in a freezer.  This was a 35 year old who had 4 kids from multiple fathers who owed thousands in child support.  Her first two kids had been abused and she was on welfare, so it should have been obvious this woman was unfit to be a mother.  So why is she allowed to have more kids?  Or why is it a man, sorry male, can father a child he has no intention of taking care of and then go out and have 2, 3, 7 more kids?  Locking them up is pointless.  Cutting welfare only hurts the kids so why not stop it in the first place.  Statistics show these kids will struggle in school, become antisocial and most likely make the same mistakes as their parents.  So why can’t we at least have this debate.  Is it that Taboo?  The moral question we should all ask, is how many more innocent children will suffer?  It’s time to move the conversation forward and end this vicious cycle.

Why It's Religion

ALLAH AKBAR!!  WE HAVE AVENGED THE PROPHET!  These were the cries from the scum bags who wantonly shot and murdered 12 in the Paris attacks recently.  Yet there are many -mostly cry baby liberals- who want to steer the blame away from the real root cause.  You will hear them spew such drivel as..... It's America's fault, if we never would have invaded Iraq and had Abu Grahib those men never would have committed these atrocities.  Fareed Zakaria noted that one of the shooters said he was radicalized because of American injustices at Abu Grahib.  This may be true but if he is so peeved with the U.S. then why take it out on French citizens?  Simple.  They drew pictures of the prophet and that's a capital sin.  This has absolutely 0 to do with the U.S.  How many inflammatory cartoons have been drawn about Jews, Christians, or the Amish in the last decade?  How many satirist have been killed by the fundamentalist of these religions?  NONE.  Here's one I hear a lot.  " If they just had jobs, education, and a better economic situation".  Most people In Africa, the Philippines, and China live in squalor.  Any terrorism there?  Oh, I almost forgot about Boko Haram in Africa.  They just slaughtered thousands last week.  If they only had a 9 to 5.   Here's a favorite among apologist.  "There are 1.6 billions Muslims in the world who don't commit violence.  What about Malala in Pakistan who stood up for the right to go to school?"  She was shot in the face.  What about Theo Van Gough who produced a movie criticizing how women are treated in the Muslim would?  He was stabbed to death by an Islamist.  What about the blogger in Saudi Arabia who tweeted about the French terrorist?  Sentenced to 1000 lashes.   There's a theme here which should be troubling to any thinking person who values freedom of speech.  Who thinks a play similar to the 'The Book of Mormon', which picks on Mormons, could be produced about the Koran, or Mohamed and no one's life would be at risk.  I want Ben Affleck to put his money where his mouth is and prove that Islam is a religion of peace and make this movie or Broadway play, and then see if he'll need 24hr protection.  Until Islam evolves like Judaism and Christianity where it's a cherry picking fest with the "holy books", this isn't going away anytime soon.
