What Have We Learned 2

Howdy Earthlings!

Xran the Fleshrender here, with a few more lessons learned from the 2000s.

So let's roll...

1. Poverty is not the root cause of terrorism. Look at the roll of prominent terrorists and you'll find that very few of them were actually suffering any poverty. Usama Bin Ladin comes from a family with a net worth in the billions, Ayman Al Zawahiri is a trained doctor, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is university educated and from a middle class background, and the Wannabe Bloomer Boomer Mr. Mutallab is the son of a rich Nigerian banker.

The root cause of terrorism is a combo of religiously inspired ego, coupled with intense self loathing due to all the self-inflicted suffering of the Islamic people, that's aimed at the West because they've got Westerners from University Professors, Media Pundits, to the Current President taking the blame for all that suffering.

2. The science is not settled. As recently liberated e-mails reveal, Global Warming is not a science, or even a religion, because a religion must be able to stand up to some form of theological debate, it is a cult. A cult where there are no questions asked, and those who dare to ask questions, are cast out and professionally burned as heretics.

3. Terrorism is not a civilian criminal problem. The laws of war , and even the Geneva Convention, dictate that anyone who engages in terrorist acts, while out of uniform, and using civilians as shields is not a prisoner of war, but an Enemy Combatant. Enemy combatants literally have no rights under the Geneva Convention, and are not to be granted extraordinary legal protections by an Attorney General whose old law firm is currently defending them.

4. "Social Justice" is the new refuge of the scoundrel. As those pesky ACORN videos show, if you want a career getting away with criminal acts, get millions in federal funding, and have politicians protecting you while kissing your ass, cover your scam under the cloak of "social justice."

Plus, if anyone calls you on your criminality, you can call them racist, fascist, and any other nicknames you can come up with.

5. Peace movements aren't pro-peace, they are anti-democracy. Throughout modern history there have been movements aimed at protesting those savage warmongering regimes who go around picking on innocent peace-loving countries. Of course those savage warmongers all happen to be democracies that have been attacked by those allegedly peace loving countries, which just happen to be ruled by bloodthirsty dictators.

If you have any of your own lessons that you have learned over the past decade, then leave them in the comments.

Keep watching the skies kiddies, because we are watching you.
