911 reminder – Patriot Day

Come on GM you talk a lot, where is the passion for your causes? We all thought you are a man of action, rather than just another gum flapper.

So what is the meaning of those words; ” From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli ………… ” Did somebody writing a song just dredge up Tripoli as something to rhyme with “sea” in a following line. What the hell is Tripoli doing in the Marine Corps Anthem.
Well as it turns out during the George Washington Presidency, some 10% of the US Budget was to pay protection money to a murdering bunch of mohammedan pirates; who raided US commercial shipping in international waters; killing or enslaving US citizens if we didn’t pay their blood money. Then when John Adams became President; the extortion went up to 20% of the US budget to pay off these outlaw pirates.
So when Jefferson became the Third US President, he decided enough was enough. The Ambassader from Tripoli had said that the US had to acknowledge mohammad and koran law or pay for safe passage. So Jefferson sent in the Marines; to put a stop to those pirate savages.
That’s how Tripoli (Libya) comes to be in the Marine anthem.
So we’ve been kowtowing to these hoodlums pretty much ever since; and we can’t say anything about it in case the mohammedan world gets upset.
Well let them get upset. Who gives a tinkers damn what the moslem world thinks of us; our way of life (free world) is completely outside the tenets of the koran; so there is no common ground; it is their way or the hiway.
Well it is time we stopped being afraid of pissing off a bunch of 7th century thinking savages. There’s already enough of them ticked off; who cares how many more get annoyed.
The local Downtown Sunnyvale Saturday morning farmers market, always has a mohammedan booth staffed by some sort of Arab bloke; well it is actually outside the market at the Sunnyvale Railway Station; but you can’t get into the market without going by his booth where you can get a free koran; and an ear full of his diatribe against free peoples.
So this Saturday 9/11/2010 the Arab guy didn’t have the balls to show up outside the market; so his spot got commandeered by a green propaganda group instead.
Too many Americans including the President of the USA simply refuse to acknowledge the enermy that we face; and it isn’t some ticked off chap who didn’t like what somebody said about his primitive backward culture; that has advanced almost no way since the 7th century.
America is tolerant of anybody who comes here peacefully; and accepts America’s way of life and our laws and concepts of individual liberty and freedom. We don’t care what religion; if any they practice; so long as it doesn’t infringe on anybody else’s freedom of expression either. But we are not going to bow down; as our President did, to some foreign bunch who wouldn’t know civilization if it ran them down in the street.
Some may forget 9/11. And some of us never will; or who and what did it. I’d suggest that next time; we forget about Tripoli and concentrate on Mecca and Medina; in either order; until they get our message.

OK, now what exactly does 9/11 have to do with climate science? Just curious… You don’t see Pharyngula or RealClimate having posts commemorating 9/11
The only reason I can see for this post is to remind the right wing constituency of the blog what they’re really here for… “””

Well you have me baffled GM; that is the Title at the heading of this thread; just how did YOU devise a “Climate Science” connection ?
Just what the hell does “Climate Science” have to do with “Patriot Day” or 9/11 ? I just don’t get your drift here.
PS: I don’t have an iphone or an ipod, ipad, iped, ipid, ipud either or a cell phone or raspberry . So whatever that donnybrook in east congo was, I didn’t have anything to do with that.
