After the Boston bombing the news media has spent days and weeks
trying to determine why these men did what they did.
They want to know what America did to make these two brothers so angry with us.
They want to know why these men were not arrested before they did something so terrible.
The media is in a tizzy about this new era of homegrown radicals, and about
why they could live among us and still hate us.
A friend of mine from Texas explained it all to me:
Here in west Texas I have rattlesnakes on my place, living among us.
I have killed a rattlesnake on the front porch. I have killed a
rattlesnake on the back porch. I have killed rattlesnakes in the barn, in the
shop and on the driveway. In fact, I kill every rattlesnake I encounter.
I kill rattlesnakes because I know a rattlesnake will bite me and inject me with poison.
I don’t stop to wonder why a rattlesnake will bite me; I know it will bite me
because it’s a rattlesnake and that’s what rattlesnakes do.
1. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake I just kill it.
2. I don’t try to get to know the rattlesnake better so I can find a way to live
with the rattlesnakes and convince them not to bite me. I just kill them.
3. I don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see it I can find out where the other snakes are,
because
(a) it won’t tell me, and
(b) I already know they live on my place.
So, I just kill the rattlesnake and move on to the next one.
4. I don’t look for ways I might be able to change the rattlesnake to a non-poisonous
rat snake…I just kill it.
Oh, and on occasion, I accidentally kill a rat snake because I thought it was a
rattlesnake at the time.
Also, I know, for every rattlesnake I kill, two more are lurking out there in the brush.
In my lifetime I will never be able to rid my place of rattlesnakes.
Do I fear them? No!
Do I respect what they can do to me? Yes!
And because of that respect I give them the fair justice they deserve….I kill them…
Maybe as a country we should start giving more thought to the fact that these
jihadists’ are just like rattlesnakes, and act accordingly!
I love this country; it’s this government I’m afraid of!
I believe most Texans would agree with this logic. Radical Muslims , the
jihadist branch have killing us infidels, that do not believe as they do,
should be killed. It is drilled into them from infancy. It is in their DNA.
It is their religion , their government, and their way of life. Would probably
be easier to train a rattlesnake as a pet than to convert a radical Muslim
to forsake their jihad and accept all other views and become tolerant people.
