Secession
Maybe I am harping on a subject, but what in the world does Texas need with Washington D.C.? Washington D.C. is a thorn in the side of everyone, and a very costly thorn, which is virtually impossible to extract. Washington D.C. is an albatross around everyone's neck, and with a bit of common sense, not only Texas, but Alaska should secede. Alaska certainly doesn't need the D.C. bureaucrats, regulations, taxes, and harassment, any more than Texas. Both should secede! Alaska is too cold for me, but the Texas heat might not bother me.
Muslim violence
I cannot understand a religion that practices the most hideous forms of violence and murder. Ever heard of a Christian or Jew planting roadside bombs, blowing up restaurants, police stations, libraries, and government buildings? Heard of a Christian or Jew trying to blow up an airplane with a shoe bomb, or attempting to blow up Times Square? The Boston Bombers were two Muslim brothers. Know of a Christian or Jew killing other Jews or Christians? The Sunnis love to kill and Shiites, and do it all the time! Thousands of Shiites have been murdered by Sunnis over the years, and they're both Muslims. The Quern says that infidels should be killed. The Bible has no such instructions, and the Bible condemns murder. A Muslim who murders, is promised instant paradise and virgins to boot. I just don't understand how the Muslim religion seems to be increasing in numbers, when it advocates violence and murder. Christianity and Judaism advocate monogamy, and Muslims like polygamy. Christians and Jews are taught to respect women and wives, as opposed to Muslim's harsh treatment of females. Maybe that's why American soldiers are afraid of Muslims, who have shot U.S. soldiers in the back. Muslims seem to regard 'infidels', such as U.S. Soldiers, as being worthy of death, and are "The Great Satan." Is that why we have wasted the decades there, with little success? Is Iraq a success? Hardly, as the murders and corruption continue unabated, and oil profits are unknown. Has there been progress in Afghanistan? Not that I can see, as the corruption, murders, and heroin continue. The trillions of dollars wasted in Iraq and Afghanistan has cost us all dearly in reduced value dollars, which is a tax we all are forced to pay for George Bush's two wars he got us into, for no reason. World War Two lasted less than four years. We've been in Iraq and Afghanistan for 13 years now, with nothing accomplished other than thousands of dead, tens of thousands of injured and mentally harmed as well.
