Hate Crime? I don't think so.

I recently heard about the shooting of 3 Muslim students in North Carolina, I think it was North Carolina but I really don't think it matters where. Later on that night, when I was watching the news, I heard the words "Hate Crime". I was wondering what kind of idiot put "Hate" with "Crime" and connected that with "Muslim" and "Shooting"?  Gimme a break on this one and allow me to lay out a thing or two.

When a Muslim shot a group of guys at Ft. Hood, that wasn't a Hate Crime. They called it "Workplace Violence". If that's the case, why in the hell don't they call this School Yard Violence? C'mon now, it wasn't work, it was a college campus. I'm thinking it's more of that political correctness bidness I've been raising hell about. With those thoughts, I began to think about my Uncles that fought in the second world war.

Let's start with my cousin, Greg Crafts. His daddy had a brother named Joe that went to Morris School in Arkansas, when he was a kid. That's the same place that Greg and I went when we were kids. From that, I figured we had a similar back ground. Same school, same classrooms, some of the same teachers, same church house.

Uncle Joe fought against the Afrika Corp during the second world war and was captured by Muslims who turned him over to the Nazi dogs that were fighting for Rommel. He spent the rest of the war in a POW camp and barely made it home alive. From that, Uncle Joe developed a Shit List that had Muslims, Germans, Krauts, Nazis and many others in it. I'm pretty sure he had Nips, Slopes and Japs in it even though he didn't have to fight them. I don't think there was any such thing as political correctness back then because all of my Uncles used those words as well as "assholes, killers, maniacs and lunatics".

Over the long list of Uncles I had, Uncle Parker, Uncle Morris Ray, Uncle Earl, and Uncle Wayne, all had some choice names for those that they fought. That was the Second World War. Later on, we learned about Zipper Heads from Korea and Leland and I learned first hand about Dinks from Vietnam. Later still, we learned about Donkey lovers, Goat humpers and Camel Jockies. Now, all of a sudden, you can't say things like that because it's not politically correct.

I would like to announce that I'm not running for political office of any kind and my new motto is "Screw Political Correctness". Steve and I talked about having Sondra make some tee shirts with that on the front so if you want some, send me a note and I'll get to work on it.

I'm prepared to explain the reasons behind all of these killings but I want to do that under a separate title and will probably begin on that this afternoon, tonight or tomorrow. You will be shocked to learned what I've found out. Stand by.
