Religion is the will of the individual to carry out their personal beliefs, which can never be shake need, whether through logic, or compromise; clouding judgement with texts that have been rewritten more often than an Oxford Dictionary website. Faith alone is enough to cause strife for those who rather be isolated from these monstrous people, and they are monsters. These individuals, of all Ras, under one drerlict creed, are now causing us to fear our own sanctity that is a right for every god-fearing, and secular Amercian alike. Religion has become the struggle between freedom and oppression. Atheism has it's own kind of repression, so no answer in-particular is necessarily the right answer,mbut we are now faced with a world that refuses to call terrorists what they are, and that frightens me more.
We sit in a bubble of fragmented fantasy, that occasionally comes to the surface whenever an attack occurs. Most people just move on, for the sake of staving the hat of their political correctness, which is worn like a badge of honor, but rather much resembles another sort of badge that was forced upon the body. A star shaped badge, which we now give ourselves for fear of I simulating we are just as terrible as the forebears of such pins! How is it that we have grown into a country as rattled by a common slur than a building collapsing underneath the berth of hatred and jet fuel?
We are on thwt common threshold of history wheree either we attack while we can,mor attack after it's too late. These individuals with a hatred for our way of life, who are able to infiltrate our own people, know us all-too-well, and they are like a specter to the Western World, a bogeyman that will see us all be put in shallow graves, as they live in a totalitarian state with a designated caliphate, and a theocracy hell-bent on religion being the only thing that can ever matter in a person's life....they will place us in the Dark Ages.
These cretins have been our everyday reality for well-over two decades now, having called to action an end to the Western way if life, it becomes painfully obvious that trouble is brewing from the fathoms below, bubbling upwards towards the high heavens, breaking out of stone, steaming out with lexis toes of pipe bombs, and suicide vests. They challenge our way of life, which is perfectly volatile, ordered chaos. We survive on the faith that our way is righteous, if not at times congested. America holds true to it's basic principles. We are never too proud to update doctrine to fit the people, and the people always change to assure that zag he most freedom is the best freedom, for all, even those who would bring us harm. We have always given our enemies more respect than they have ever given us, because we now live in the culture which allows for all people to be acknowledged and accepted without oppression. Sometimes our greatest aspects are also purée most vulnerable weaknesses.
How can we protect that which we hold so dear, when we fear those who would call out concern for blatant racism, or politically incorrect language? Prime example of not saying something, for fear of bigotry was the neighbor of the two who had gunned down their fellow employees in cold blood. He saw what they wre doing to be suscpious, and laid the claim that he said nothing out of fear of being laboed a xenophobic bigot. However, the fiend that gunned down so many innocents, was American, and-so, we know that we fear speaking out over our one befuddlement of race relations.
As an American, it saddens me to think that all Americanas, have the right to feel secure,mand to speak up when they notice something erractic happening in their own backyard, we did so when the Vritish patrolled our streets, we can do so now to stop domestic terrorists. Loyalists to the crown were our neighbors, our friends, and sometimes our own family. Those forefathers had to protect themselves from these spies and supporters of the crown, but they also had to protect their own families from the backlash for speaking out so closely to their enemy,who ran there streets.
Now, we are no longer an occupied country, Amedican citizens are the majority, and the few terrorists that live like wolves in sheep's clothing around us are suha. Small minority, witch trials would only seek to do more harm than good. We all should be looking out for everyone, of every creed and nation that are well within our borders. Our history is a violent ones paved with blood and bones, and we know now more than ever, that we too can be paved underneath our home ground, and like the brave Minutemen of long ago, we are in need to have a standing militia, but not of muskets and bayonets, but of cellphone cameras,mand apps. We use the web to our advantage, we have eyes and ears to protect ourselves. Although I understand the ramifications of surveillance, we self-protect, and we are able to at the very least save ourselves, and those around us from potential terrorists threats.
We think these threats are new in-comparison to the many trifling errs we've fought in history, but these times are no much different from those times of occupation, nor when neighbors fought one-another in a civil war. These times agree indeed as pressing, and the longest battles our young nation has ever faced. Yet, we've come to learn that these battles are also fought against an enemy that is older, much more hardened, and ready to bring down the rains of the apocalypse just to win. They are not a standardized army, but are just as mobile, as organized as any of the great armies of the past. Our hatred can blind us to underestimate these foes, but reality has proven time-and-again that these monsters are just as capable as any fighting corps. It is almost sickeningly admirable how dedicated they are to the fight, and even more so to know that sort of dedication means they can very well win. Our revolutionary forefathers were doubted as noting more than uneducated mirthless farmers, which had little in training, but enough spunk to gain the favors of the French,a long-time enemy. Those in ISIS or ISIL, whichever way the press demands to spin the name, they are in it for a long haul, and they will outlast us of w exhaust.
San Bernadino was an act of terrorism, and to say otherwise is the safe, politically correct way to think of such a disaster, but we should call it for what it simply is: murder, and know that many more of these murd era can happen if we fall asleep at the helm. Politicians will always make bank on a good tragedy, and many people have gone to war to die over fruitless tragedies, and war seems to always be the answer we choose, but it never gives us solace. I am not anti war, war is a part of culture, it's a part of human existence,and wuite frankly, we take up the merit of doing most of the work in these travesties, so many other countries can avoid such conflicts, and hold on to their freedom, without the glory of defending it personally.
America is a place for all, and that's how it should be, but perhaps, just perhaps, it's not terrible to think that some, very small, very slect few, should not be given the luxury of all this great nation has to offer. Some perhaps,should be left out in that dreaded sea of emptiness, because nothing but beguiled, disastrous emptiness I stills their heart with nothing but animosity. I do not think it ridiculous to keep out the minority of the minority, and still allow those who are of the smallest percentage safe passssge. Perhaps one day,mew will find a perfect medium,mbut there is no right or wrong answer just yet, and those answered may only come up, when perhaps, it's too late to ask. My thoughts go out to all those who have died in the midsts of this ridiculous demonstration,mand know. That your lives cut short,made no less accounted for by the world who stand with you now. We have gotten the culprits who have murdered nearly a dozen people, but only when we begin to use common sense, rather than campus-whining over words, will then justice be served, and all our obstacles can be faced with more than just a slim chance of success.
