Rattlesnake Logic Is Simply Common Sense In West Texas

Common Sense Commentary: I was raised in West Texas. As a matter of fact, Sweetwater, the Rattlesnake capital of the world. Every year Sweetwater has a Rattlesnake Round-Up in the  Nolan County Coliseum. Ranchers, farmers and professional rattlesnake hunters bring in hundreds of angry, venomous, deadly rattlesnakes.  They mostly have them in big, round, 25 feet wide by 4 feet high water tanks where a western looking guy stands in the middle of them, picks them up, and demonstrates how they "milk" their venom.  There are also tables and chairs where visitors can have a meal of rattlesnake meat and then buy rattlesnake boots, western hats, belts or wallets. People come from all over the world to Sweetwater for the event on the second week-end of March. Rattlesnake Logic is, there is no "moral high ground" when you are dealing with rattlesnakes, there is only survival.

As long as we insist on maintaining the so called "moral high ground" we will NEVER win the war on terrorism! We're in a conflict in which we absolutely INSIST on playing by the made up rules against a maniacal group who have NO rules!

Rattlesnake Logic....by some West Texas Cowboy

After the Boston bombing the news media spent days and weeks trying to determine why these men did what they did. They want to know what America did(!) to make these 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 and how they can 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. I don’t try to reason with a rattlesnake or have a "meaningful dialogue" with it…I just kill it. 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. I don’t quiz a rattlesnake to see if 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.
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? Not really. Do I respect what they can do to me and my family? Yes!! And because of that respect, I give them the fair justice they deserve....I kill them... As a country, we should start giving more thought to the fact that these jihadists' are telling the world their goal is to kill Americans and destroy our way of life. They have just posted two graphic videos on the Internet showing them beheading Americans. They are serious. They are exactly like rattlesnakes. It is high time for us to start acting accordingly!
I love this country. It's the damn government I'm afraid of! Look who's new in the White House!
Arif Alikhan, Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S.Department of Homeland Security
Mohammed Elibiary, Homeland Security Adviser
Rashad Hussain, Special Envoy to the Organization of the Islamic Conference(OIC)
Salam al-Marayati, Obama Adviser and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council and is its current executive director
Imam Mohamed Magid, Obama's Sharia Czar from the Islamic Society of North America Eboo Patel, Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships
Valerie Jarrett, raised a Muslim, is Obama's principal adviser.

This is flat-out scary! The foxes are now officially living in the hen house...

How can this happen, and when will we wake up? We are quiet while our Country is being destroyed from within.
