State of the Shelanman

According to a USA Today article fifteen Security Council members voted.

The U.S. voted "no". They were the only ones to do so. Britain, Romania, and Germany abstained.

The other 11 members voted to adopt the resolution, condemning Israel for launching attacks against known terrorists.

This brings me to my real problem with this issue. Nobody argues when I say that Al Quaida members are terrorists. Few people disagree with me when I say we ought to be hunting them down to the best of our ability (within the restrictions provided by the U.S. Constitution).

Why then can't I call Palestinians in the Gaza strip who freqently attach bombs to themselvesd to go blow up busloads of citizens what they are? They are Evil Terrorists.

That's right. Anybody who straps a bomb to themself and blows up a busload of people is a Terrorist. Why must we call Hamas members "militant Palestinians". They aren't members of an army, they are murderers and terrorists.

Having considered the Palestinian cause, some of their own propaganda — for instance the Palestine Chronicle" — I have determined that their plight is not so terrible as to mitigate the crimes they commit. I'm not certain that any such plight could possibly exist — but I'd know it if I saw it, and this is not it.

Thus I feel 100% justified in adding the qualifier "Evil" to the title "Terrorist".

So, I will conclude this rant by finishing the title sentence "... is another mans Evil Terrorist." — for even if there was a valid cause behind the terrorism which there is not it is still terrorism. We need to stop politically-correctifying everything. Terrorists are Terrorists, Murderers are Murderers, and The Shelanman is here to guide you aright!

Until next time:
