Dear Muslim Terrorist Plotter/Planner/Funder/Enabler/Apologist,
You do not know me. But I am on the lookout for you. You are my enemy. And I am yours.
I am John Doe.
I am traveling on your plane. I am riding on your train. I am at your bus stop. I am on your street. I am in your subway car. I am on your lift.
I am your neighbor. I am your customer. I am your classmate. I am your boss.
I am John Doe.
I will never forget the passengers of United Airlines Flight 93 who refused to sit back on 9/11 and let themselves be murdered in the name of Islam without a fight.
I will never forget the passengers and crew members who tackled al-Qaida shoe-bomber Richard Reid on American Airlines Flight 63 before he had a chance to blow up the plane over the Atlantic Ocean.
I will never forget the alertness of actor James Woods, who notified a stewardess that Arab men sitting in his first-class cabin on an August 2001 flight were behaving strangely. The men turned out to be 9/11 hijackers on a test run.
I will act when homeland security officials ask me to “report suspicious activity.”
I will embrace my local police department’s admonition: “If you see something, say something.”
I am John Doe.
I will protest your Jew-hating, America-bashing “scholars.”
I will petition against your hate-mongering mosque leaders.
I will raise my voice against your subjugation of women and religious minorities.
I will challenge your attempts to indoctrinate my children in our schools.
I will combat your violent propaganda on the Internet.
I am John Doe.
I will support law enforcement initiatives to spy on your operatives, cut off your funding and disrupt your murderous conspiracies.
I will oppose all attempts to undermine our borders and immigration laws.
I will not be censored in the name of tolerance.
I will not be cowed by your Beltway lobbying groups in moderates’ clothing. I will not cringe when you shriek about “profiling” or “Islamophobia.”
I will put my family’s safety above sensitivity. I will put my country above multiculturalism.
I will not submit to your will. I will not be intimidated.
I am John Doe.
I am John Doe. I will racially profile you. You want to sue me? Bring it on. I am John Doe. I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Because I like neat blog buttons and such, I've created the I Am John Doe blog badge for anyone who is, as I am, John Doe. Show your support. Also, steal the image freely, but host it on your site with a link to Michelle's most excellent post.
Yes, you heard that right. Manly woman of the week. Not some East German shot put champion, but a real lady, who goes by the nom de plume of Adoro te Devote. She is an ex-cop, and an ex-firefighter who has had it with radical feminism.
Maybe some women are comfortable with the idea of coasting along on some kind of legislation that permitted laziness and lawsuits for alleged "discrimination." I knew some women like that and I did my best to distance myself from them. They make all of us look like a bunch of fools. And amazingly, every woman I knew in that particular category was a rabid feminist who couldn't be bothered to put in the extra effort in the gym or with the books or whatever was required to take them out of their myopic navel-gazing worldview.
Right on. Now this is the kind of feminist who manly men can line up behind. This is someone who has made a decision on what she wants to do, and does what it takes to do it.
However, as manly men know, actions have consequences.
The fact is that although women can do the job, we have to work THREE TIMES AS HARD as men in order to do it, and our bodies really are't built to take that kind of physical stress.
This really is the crux of the issue. If a woman is strong enough, or is determined enough to become strong enough to do demanding jobs, I have never had an issue with it.
Here is a lady who understands life as it is, not as she'd like it to be. She plays the hand the she's given, and plays it the best she can. She watches out for herself, and will never be a victim, because that mentality is not a part of her. She may at some point be victimized, but she will take a piece of whoever hurts her with her, possibly if she's carrying, ventilate a scumbag and make the world safer for all of us.
I NEVER felt excluded by the term "brothers" because I had always understood this to mean "brothers and sisters."
