Breaking Taboo: ISIS, Your love is my poison

ISIS, or ISIL as some politicians call them, has beheaded four people. Let’s just call it five for the sake of it, since our president hasn’t done anything to save the other beheaded Individuals, including American Steven Sotloff.

Be warned, I don’t like our president or his policies. If you can’t handle that, turn away and read another post. Maybe one about bunnies, or unicorns.

Now before we proceed further not all Muslims are bad. These members of Islam are radical and extremists. Be careful what you say and how you categorize people.Now, ISIS seems to have an issue with the western world,it’s structure and quite frankly dying. Yeah, can’t exactly blame them. Dying isn’t on my to-do list either. However, killing innocent people, simply because of their nationality or religion is quite frankly stupid. What’s even more stupid is the fact that our president is being extremely relaxed with how this situation is handled. How many people have to die before something is truly done? How many terrorists get inside this country before we do something? How many innocent Americans have to die before our president grows a pair of balls and says the hell with political correctness and making people happy?

When does this end? Why does their love of destruction and death still continue to be our poison Mr. President?

Is Ferguson the Catalyst for the Overdue Discussion of Racism in America?

What was the most helpful thing you read about Ferguson?

I have tried to stay away from this topic only because I’m not sure I have anything of real value to add, but the folks at BlogHer brought the question up for Day 3 of the September NaBloPoMo.

Before I get started take a minute and look at both of these pictures. Be honest with yourselves; If you saw either of these young men walking towards you (day or night), which one would you perceive as more or less of a threat?

 

Have you made your decision? If so, humor me and answer the following poll.

Sound Off

I heard about this last year on the Dr. Oz Show and did a bit of research on this and am truly concerned. I’m not just concerned about the health implications but also the what this does to our already unstable job market.

The USDA has approved that chickens raised and slaughtered in the U.S. and Canada will be sent to China for processing. The chicken will be processed into chicken nuggets, soup, patties, wings, etc.).

Since 2007 the USDA has raised concerns regarding China’s food processing plants and standards. The U.S. has imported tainted baby formula, milk products, food with illegal dyes, bean curd with insect filth and a host of other food processing concerns.

What makes the USDA think that things will change now?

Anyway we’re eating and talking about race in America and the hostess seats a young
