No…..they’re ready willing and able to pick on Michael’s bones until there’s nothing left to devour.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">With the impending passage of the Democrat healthcare reform bill, I feel disappointed, infuriated, and somewhat saddened. That’s why for the time being, I want to talk about something totally disassociated with the despicable shenanigans going on in our nation’s capital. I promise that I’ll have plenty to say about healthcare reform and the sell-out of our country by the Democrat party next week. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Until then, I want to vent my spleen at something much less important. Something that&#8217;s not dangerous to the future of our country. Something that&#8217;s nothing more than a bit annoying and maybe a little distasteful. I&#8217;m referring to the predictable behavior of Michael Jackson&#8217;s family in the aftermath of his passing. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Michael’s brothers are now starring in their own “reality” series on the A&amp;E cable network titled <em>The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty</em>. Surprise &#8211; surprise! The names of Michael&#8217;s four brothers and cast members of the show are Jackie, Tito, Marlon, and Jermaine. As I’m sure is the case with most people, I had no clue as to their names – I had to Google them. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here is A&amp;E’s description of the show from their website:</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #0000ff;">Behind the headlines lies a captivating family, whose lives have been unwillingly played out before cameras for decades. After 40 years in the business together, Jackie, Jermaine, Tito and Marlon have sold more than 250 million albums worldwide. Now, the brothers allow unprecedented access into their world as they record new material and rehearse for a concert celebrating the 40th anniversary of The Jackson Five. </span></em><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: Verdana; color: #0000ff; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">The Jacksons: A Family Dynasty</span></em><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #0000ff;"> will chronicle the brothers&#8217; relationships with each other, their parents and their children, while also balancing the demands of their professional commitments and celebrity. </span></em></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; color: #0000ff;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">40 years in the business together? Really now…..I never heard of the <em>Jackson 4</em>. I must have somehow missed them. Later in the show description the truth slips out a bit when it states that they’re actually rehearsing for a concert celebrating the 40<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the&#8230;&#8230; <em>Jackson 5</em>. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">I&#8217;m sure that Michael would have participated in this concert if he were still alive. We all know what great memories he had from those wonderful days. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Gee…..I wonder if this show would have even been considered if Michael hadn’t passed away earlier this year under cloudy circumstances. I wonder how many times an episode Michael&#8217;s memory will be exploited. I also wonder how long after Michael passed away that the Jackson 4 started shopping their new reality show idea. If I had to guess, I’d say that it was probably somewhere between 10 minutes and 24 hours. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Oh yeah…..I almost forgot; I wonder if father Joe Jackson had anything to do with this brilliant idea. Do the 4 brothers have anything to do with him, or do they despise him like Jacko did? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Good ole Joe Jackson; the warm loving father who treated his sons (Michael in particular) like trick ponies. This is the same loving father who is now suing Michael’s estate after he was excluded from the will. Joe claims that the part which excluded him was a forgery. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Jackson Family and father Joe in particular must realize that like Elvis, Michael may well be worth more dead than alive. Led by Joe, they’re sure to not let the opportunities resulting from Michael’s death pass them by. No…..they’re ready, willing, and able to pick on Michael’s bones until there’s nothing left to devour. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: small;">Being a strong and enthusiastic supporter of free-market capitalism, I can&#8217;t be too judgmental in regards to how people chose to make money. (As long as it&#8217;s legal) Whether it&#8217;s by artificially impregnating yourself to create 8 babies, or by exploiting the life, death, and memory of a troubled and perhaps sick brother and son. I can however do what I normally do, which is to exercise my right not to watch this garbage.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">This past Tuesday, (12/15) the CBS crime-drama series NCIS dove head first into the cesspool of political correctness. We all know that network television is no stranger to outlandish PC storylines, but NCIS went so far that it even broke the wide boundaries of fictional entertainment. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The plot of Tuesday’s episode involved a Christian “<strong><em>honor killing</em></strong>.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">That’s right – Christian honor killing!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Gee…..the writers for NCIS must know about a phenomenon that nobody else in America seems to know about. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The episode featured a murdered Marine who recently converted to Islam from Christianity and the son of a retired Christian Marine Chaplin. The father is found to be paying members of his converted son’s unit to harass his now Muslim son into quitting the Marine Corp. In a sidebar to the main plot, the retired Chaplin’s long time wife is found to be cheating on her husband. Supposed Conservative Christian hypocrisy; now there’s a fresh new scenario created by television writers. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">At the end of the episode the dead Marine’s brother fesses up to killing his brother. The reason: the brother “disgraced” the family by converting to Islam. I guess that the producers of NCIS are just trying to call attention to a growing national trend.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">If this episode weren’t bad enough, CBS followed up with NCIS: Los Angeles. There, the story line consisted of four wounded Marines coming back from Iraq where they served as Explosive Ordinance Disposal Techs. When they returned state side, one of the four Marines is killed by an exploding cell phone. The three remaining Marines, one of which is a Muslim, became the prime suspects in the bombing. Of course, the bomber turned out to be the Christian Marine who often quoted the Bible. He supposedly committed the murder to make up for the horrible things he did in Iraq. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">The truth of the matter is that these shameless episodes are just another sick example of American institutions kowtowing to Islam. These people seem to believe that perpetrating this lie on network television will make Muslims feel better about themselves and hate us less. These liberal self-hating idiots seem hell-bent on transferring the guilt and embarrassment that Muslims should feel about their barbaric practice of honor killing onto a religion and culture that has absolutely nothing to do with it. They seem to believe that perverting truth is somehow an act of fairness.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">What’s next? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">Perhaps an episode of CSI Miami where right-wing anti-gay Christians kidnap gay people of the streets of South Beach and then behead them on video. Or…..perhaps an Oliver Stone film that deals with right-wing Christians on a modern day crusade hijacking planes and crashing them into Muslim holy places such as Mecca. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">It&#8217;s nice to know that we can count on Hollywood and network television to level the playing field for poor Muslims who are evidently forced to come and live in Western societies and are met with vicious hate and discrimination at the hands of red-necked Americans. Here&#8217;s an idea: the brilliant Rosie O’Donnell can consult on these projects. After all, when she was part of that intellectual think-tank known as The View, she once said that “<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">radical Christians are dangerous as radical Muslims</em></strong>.” She went on to explain by brilliantly noting that as a result of 9/11, “<strong>w<em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">e invaded two countries and killed innocent people</em></strong>.” </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">While we continue to kowtow and apologize to the Muslim world, radical Islam is laughing at us and using our open and free society as a weapon against us. They will surely take what the idiots in the media, television, and Hollywood give them; claiming to be victims while plotting our ultimate destruction.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you believe that I’m overstating the issue &#8211; think about this. According to the <a href="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/">CIA World Factbook</a>, Muslims comprise 0.6% of the population of the United States. If they have this much power at 0.6% &#8211; if the politicians, media, advertisers, and Hollywood pander to them now, can you imagine what it will be like when they reach 5% &#8211; 10% &#8211; 20% or more? </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;">It doesn&#8217;t paint a pretty picture for America&#8217;s future and the future of Western Civilization. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> </p>
