Years from now so many Americans gathering like a lynch mob in order to celebrate the death of terrorist Osama bin Laden will be accurately defined as one of the most shameful displays in the history of this nation.
So much gleeful celebration of death documented by the mainstream media is actually quite frightening for anyone who has ever actually seen seen a human killed:
Crowds in US celebrate bin Laden's death
Former Congressman Ike Skelton, D-Mo. from The Turner Report: "It makes me proud, humbled and awed to know the last thing Osama bin Laden saw on this Earth was a trained, armed, ready and willing member of the United States military. God bless America."
Kansas, Missouri lawmakers react to bin Laden's death
Missouri parents of a 9/11 victim 'elated' by news of bin Laden's death
Kansas City Reacts To Bin Laden Death
This nation is actually quite lucky that we're not in a Holy War because last night's disgusting display by so many Americans simply reveals that in many ways the U.S. no longer holds the moral high ground in the so-called War Against Terror.
Really . . .
CAN A GREAT MANY AMERICANS CLAIM THAT THEY'RE ANY BETTER THAN SO MANY RADICAL MUSLIMS WHO CHEERED AFTER 9/11?!?!
Somebody once said something about "an eye for an eye" leaving the whole world blind and I'm actually quite surprised and saddened that this is an alternative view during this epoch of American history.
Even better . . .
A BAD-ASS TKC TISPTER RECENTLY NOTED A PASSAGE FROM THE BIBLE THAT KIND OF FITS THIS OCCASION!!!
I'm not getting all Pat Robertson-y in this bitch and moral clarity is something that has never interested me . . .
It's more like I'm trying to figure out this verse like Jules from Pulp Fiction expertly played by Samuel Jackson.
Here it is:
Proverbs 24-17: "Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth - When he meets with any thing that injures him; for God will not have thee to avenge thyself, or feel any disposition contrary to love; for if thou do, the Lord will be angry, and may turn away his wrath from him, and pour it out on thee."
There's really no arguing here given that once again so many people in Kansas City and all over the nation have been caught acting like blood thirsty plebs of the Roman empire and failing to live up to the standard of so much rhetoric and supremacy touting the superiority of one form of violence over the next. The cycle of violence in the digital age seems to do even more damage.
Rather than cheering on the streets like so many dimwit sports fans gloating about an insignificant game, Americans would would prove more productive if they worked toward an end to THREE COSTLY AND DEADLY WARS that can be linked to the chaos created Osama bin Laden and now have neither purpose nor justification. Natch.
