Today I want to play a new game that I just made up. It’s called “Jump To Conclusions”. The premise of the game is that you are presented with a series of facts….and then based on those facts, you “jump to a conclusion”…..So, here we go……
Number 1: You walk into a convenience store (no don’t jump to any conclusions yet…although Joe Biden did say in July 2006 that…“You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.”) Ok…so you are in a convenience store….you see a guy with a ski mask covering his face….you also see that he has a gun in his hand and the person behind the counter has his hands in the air….and it looks as if the money from the cash register is scattered on the counter….Ok…1..2...3…Jump To Conclusions….
Number 2: You come home early from work….as you get to the back of the house….your wife/husband comes out of the bedroom with a man/woman…..both of them are naked….you look in the bedroom and see that the sheets are almost ripped off of the bed….both people look like they just got through running a half-marathon ….Ok…1…2…3…Jump To Conclusions….
Number 3: A man shoots and kills 13 people and injures 38 others at the Ft Hood Army Base ……his name is Nidal Malik Hasan ….leading up to the event, he has had a lot of communication with Anwar al Awlaki, a radical cleric who is linked to three of the 9/11 hijackers and who has fled the country to reside in Yemen, where he still preaches jihad….. ….as Hasan begins shooting innocent people he yells "Allahu Akbar!"…("God is great!" in Arabic)….Ok...1…2…3…Jump To Conclusions….
Number 4: A guy gets on a plane…. his name was Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab….he pays for his ticket in cash….although he is going on a two week trip, he has no baggage to check….reports say that he was escorted to the airline ticket counter by a well dressed man acting as his agent, who told ticket agents that his client "didn't have a passport"…..he spends 20 minutes in the bathroom of the plane, then comes out and proceeds to try to blow up the plane….Ok…1…2…3…Jump To Conclusions….
After the massacre at Ft Hood, President Barak Obama cautioned Americans against "jumping to conclusions" about what had triggered "one of the worst mass shootings ever to take place on an American military base."….That statement was the inspiration for my new game…So let’s see how you did….
Number 1: You probably thought it was a robbery….You are SO wrong. The guy in the ski mask had a skin condition and since he was very sensitive about it, he always wore a ski mask…the gun was a gift to the store owner (his brother-in-law)…the raised hands were simply an act of exclamation as the store owner exclaimed “oh my…I cant believe you bought me the gun I always wanted”…the money on the counter was money that the store owner was counting right before he threw his hands up on glee at the sight of his gift.
Number 2: You probably thought there was some hanky-panky going on….You are SO wrong again….it seems that the naked man/woman with your husband/wife was an innocent door to door salesperson….as he was presenting his product to your wife/husband, a home invasion took place….the home invader made them take off their clothes….he then used the sheets from the bed to tie them up before he fled from the scene….it was only by chewing through the sheets and an incredible struggle that they were able to free themselves.
Number 3: You probably thought this was the actions of an Islamic extremist terrorist…..Again, you are just plain wrong….he was just a troubled psychologist who suffered from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which is often found in soldiers who have been deployed to war zones…(although he had never been deployed to anywhere) PLUS someone had "keyed" his car...and a bumper sticker that said "Allah Is Love", had been removed from his car as well...(that's enough right there, to make anyone kill 13 people...right?)
Number 4: Being the racist that you are, you probably again assumed that this was also an act of terrorism….And AGAIN you are wrong….He was an innocent young man that had a rare disorder that causes your genitals to get very cold at high altitudes…he was simply trying to warm them up by applying a very expensive explosive to his nether regions.
So how did you do at my new game?....If you are in the current Presidential Administration, you probably did very well….If you are a sensible American, then you probably failed miserably. The President and his administration just don’t seem to be able to draw sensible conclusions, based on simple facts....simple facts like the concept of these radical Islamic jihadists wanting to kill us. The Obama Administration seems to be among those people who seem to think that the only reason that these extremists ever attacked the U.S. was that they hated George W. Bush…(here’s a clue, George W. Bush is not the President any more)…Here’s the reality….They hate America...They hate Americans…They hate our culture…They despise our freedoms and they want to kill you and me (and of course, George W. Bush too)….Why aren’t we taking these things seriously and seeing them for what they really are? Immediately following the attempted plane bombing…(well actually 3 days later…and after a couple rounds of golf…and after a couple of nice dinners with friends and family) President Obama called the bomber aboard Flight 253 an "isolated extremist" (even though Al Qaeda had already claimed credit for the terrorist bombing attempt)....and then he stated that we “would not rest” until the people who are responsible for this are dealt with…Really?....sounds like you’re right on top of that one Barak. I guess what you meant to say was “once we get started…after my vacation….THEN we will not rest” until we deal with those who are responsible for this….
Let’s stop dancing all around this issue because of political correctness. If there are enough facts there….then stop the person and at least look into the situation in more detail. Look at it this way....if 6’1” ruggedly handsome and somewhat studly white guys, with long curly hair were trying to blow up planes and kill people all over the world….I would expect to be stopped and questioned every time I tried to board an airplane…So given all of the facts...why cant we see what is going on here with these jihadists?….Here's a suggestion: President Obama…get off of vacation and actually do some work. Wake up and get your head out of your butt...because these terrorists are out to kill Americans, regardless of how much you might bow and apologize for the United States. I think its time that you get serious about this problem, before we have another 9/11…Look at the obvious signs. If the facts are there....then you aren't really "jumping to conclusions"...you're just being wise. (I know that's a foreign concept to many in politics) In my opinion…based on the facts that have been presented....anyone who cant see what is happening, is just stupid or has an agenda that doesn't allow them to admit what is happening…Then Again….That’s just Me
