I've seen this before and it truly is common sense. Ijust had it emailed to me and thought some of you would enjoy it.

GOD GIVEN COMMON SENSE vs. "RELATIVE MORALITY"/ aka MORAL STUPIDITY
For those who don't know General Hawley, he's a newly retired USAF 4-star general. He commanded the USAF Air Combat Command [our front-line fighters & bombers]. The Command headquarters is at Langley AFB, VA. General Hawley is now retired & no longer required to be politically correct. His short speech is very much to the point. The following are excerpts:
"Since the attack [9-11], I have seen, heard, & read thoughts of such surpassing stupidity that they must be addressed. You've heard them too. Here they are:
1) "We're not good, they're not evil, everything is relative." Listen carefully: We're good, they're evil, nothing is relative. Say it with me now & free yourselves. You see, folks, saying "We're good" doesn't mean, "We're perfect." Okay? The only perfect being is the bearded guy on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The plain fact is that our country has, with all our mistakes & blunders, always been & always will be the greatest beacon of freedom, charity, opportunity, & affection in history. If you need proof, open all the borders on Earth & see what happens.
2) "Violence only leads to more violence." This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy League university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your heads & hearts already: Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more violence. Limp, panicky, half-measures lead to more violence. However, complete, fully thought-through, professional, well-executed violence never leads to more violence because, you see, afterwards, the other guys are all dead. That's right, dead. Not "on trial," not "reeducated," not "nurtured back into the bosom of love." Dead. D-E --Well, you get the idea.
3) "The CIA & the rest of our intelligence community have failed us." For 25 years we have chained our spies like dogs to a stake in the ground, & now that the house has been robbed, we yell at them for not protecting us. Starting in the late seventies, under Carter appointee Stansfield Turner, the giant brains who get these giant ideas decided that the best way to gather international intelligence was to use spy satellites. "After all, (they reasoned,) you can see a license plate from 200 miles away." This is very helpful if you've been attacked by a license plate. Unfortunately, we were attacked by humans. Finding humans is not possible with satellites. You have to use other humans. When we bought all our satellites, we fired all our humans, & here's the really stupid part. It takes years, decades to infiltrate new humans into the worst places of the world. You can't just have a guy who looks like Gary Busey in a Spring Break '93 sweatshirt plop himself down in a coffee shop in Kabul & say "Hiya, boys. Gee, I sure would like to meet that bin
Laden fella. "Well, you can, but all you'd be doing is giving the bad guys a story they'll be telling for years.
4) "These people are poor & helpless, & that's why they're angry at us." Uh-huh, & Jeffrey Dahmer's frozen head collection was just a desperate cry for help. The terrorists & their backers are richer than Elton John &, ironically, a good deal less annoying. The poor helpless people, you
see, are the villagers they tortured & murdered to stay in power. Mohammed Atta, one of the evil scumbags who steered those planes into the killing grounds is the son of a Cairo surgeon. But you knew this, too. In the sixties & seventies, all the pinheads marching against the war were upper-middle-class college kids who grabbed any cause they could think of to get out of their final papers & spend more time drinking. It's the same today.
5) "Any profiling is racial profiling." Who's killing us here, the Norwegians? Just days after the attack, the New York Times had an article saying dozens of extended members of the gazillionaire bin Laden family living in America were afraid of reprisals & left in a huff,
never to return to studying at Harvard & using too much Drakkar. I'm crushed. Please come back. Let's all stop singing "We Are the World" for a minute & think practically. I don't want to be sitting on the floor in the back of a plane four seconds away from hitting Mt. Rushmore & turn,
grinning, to the guy next to me to say, "Well, at least we didn't offend them."
SO HERE'S what I resolve for the New Year: Never to forget our murdered brothers & sisters. Never to let the relativists get away with their immoral thinking. After all, no matter what your daughter's political science professor says, we didn't start this. Have you seen that bumper
sticker that says, "No More Hiroshimas"? I wish I had one that says, "No More Pearl Harbors."
THIS NEEDS TO STAY IN CIRCULATION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE & WILL FALL FOR THE STUPIDITY GOING AROUND. PLEASE PASS IT ON!

Some of us have been feeling, thinking, and saying, essentially these same things for some time. I'm glad someone with an opportunity to say it publicly to an audience, (and with a credible background), took an another opportunity to do so.
Do you think we could force the entire DNC (and John Bear) to sit through his speech?

Nice going guys. Something like that is expected from a military dude. Much of that makes sence. I personaly liked that part when "After all, no matter what your daughter's political science professor says, we didn't start this." and you bible believing nation just wont turn your other cheek. After all that professor probably just scr.... oh well you know.
But one thing, you never gona kill them all.

It only requires that you kill enough to make them reconsider their actions! (We didn't kill all the ***enese.....nor all the Germans.......nor all.....well.....you get the point!) Or in failing that.....kill those.....committing those actions!
We will settle for either result!
