NAACP = Morons.

Just saw this on Fox News....decide for yourself. Is this graduation card saying "Black holes" or "black whores"?

In my own opinion, I believe the NAACP is totally overreacting, and this is just another reason why racism is so prevalent still in America. We have become so politically correct and sensitive, that the mere possibility of something being construed as racist is immediately condemned and removed.

If we cannot learn to laugh at ourselves and not take offense to every possible tiny thing - we will destroy ourselves. I'm willing to be my right nut that very VERY few people even CONSIDERED this to be a "racist" card....until of course the NAACP had to put focus on it.

I'll let you see the video, hear the card, and read the story. Form your own opinion and post it below :)

This is why we fight.....

This is just another reason why we are fighting the Taliban in the Middle East.

Taliban executes 7-year-old boy for "spying"
by Mira Jacob, Shine staff,
There is plenty that the Taliban has already done to incur global loathing, including planting IED's in girls' schools, killing scores of Afghan civilians to gain power, and horribly misrepresenting Islam by performing atrocities in the name of Allah. So why is the political movement's reported execution of a 7-year-old boy on the premise that he was "spying for the government" newly sickening?

Because it's horrendous. As a mother, I am disgusted that grown men could ever justify this act. The fact that the Taliban are not alone in killing children to gain political power, or even in persecuting kids for supposedly committing an adult criminal actions, does nothing to stem my horror. These are kids. They cannot be tried as adults because they haven't had the benefit of growing up yet. Kids at this age don't make decisions to further political agendas. They make decisions to please the adults around them, or to stay safe from harm, or to eat.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai summed it up pretty well during a news conference today when he said, "A 7-year-old boy cannot be a spy. A 7-year-old boy cannot be anything but a 7-year-old boy, and therefore hanging or shooting to kill a 7-year-old boy ... is a crime against humanity."

During a press conference in Kabul, British Prime Minister David Cameron added, "If true, I think it says more about the Taliban than any book, than any article, than any speech could ever say."

Pretty messed up right? In my mind, this is just another justifiable reason why our military is overseas. To keep this insane and cruel individuals from killing more innocent people. You never know, one of them may come over here one day and decide YOUR child is an "infidel".

Who I Am.....

So I would just like to say thank you for visiting my blog. I've been considering starting out a blog for awhile now. I have quite a few opinions, and am extremely vocal with them. So now I will finally have my little place online to complain, scream and vent :)


Who I am....

I am a 17 year old guy, born and raised in central Connecticut. I've lived in one town my whole life, and cannot wait to get out of it. I'm extremely honest with my opinions, and am not afraid to tell you like it is. I've always loved politics and keeping up with current events, and will mainly use this blog to post my opinions about a variety of topics.

There is a ton more about me that I will be posting soon, but I'm sure the blog can't hold that much - so you will just have to wait until the next post :)

- Stay Safe -
Alex :)
