BARREL OF MONKEYS: "GENESIS" in Reverse


I consider myself a Democrat. Been called a Socialist. Definitely a bleeding heart liberal.


As a child from a traditional southern family, playing Barrel of Monkeys on the floor, church every Sunday, doing well in public school, learning a trade; in every sense privileged .........


Comfortable in middle age, an avid news reader, on learning the tragic story of a full grown chimpanzee destroying the face of a woman who offered a toy, only trying to help it's owner coax her surrogate child back into his cage......


Today being confrontational, ribald, offensive, restless, rebellious.......


How did I get here from there?

Afghanistan Crossroads

Man who impregnated widow in Taliban detention – Afghanistan Crossroads - CNN.com Blogs: "'This tragic gruesome brutality is an example of Taliban justice,' said U.S. Army Col. Rafael Torres, director of the ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center.
'This is not what the people of Afghanistan want - they want peace and freedom and that's what we're going to help provide.'"

"You're living our dreams!"
"Way to go,
Col. Torres!
"Way-to-go!

One Point Liberals/Zippo Conservatives


The two sentences highlighted, sounded like a very liberal thing to say; couldn't have agreed more. We had a right to come after the Taliban; they were sheltering someone who attacked us first. 

And it is horrible how they treat their women. The women especially will be grateful for our help. Our soldiers will be like their knight in shining armor coming to the rescue.  Like loosening up a women being stoned; her trying to bash your head in with a
rock
once out of that hole!

"We Killed Her Man!"

   
Then it hit me.......  we're gonna lose this war?
Down to ONE MANleft standing.
