I JUST STOLE THIS OFF THE INTERNET. Just like that. A friend sent this to me and now I share it with you. This is funny on any level you want to argue. It's like seeing the Di Brothers do Sammy. -- live --!!! There are some things you have to be there -- have been there -- to have a clue. This is not a code.
THE BATTLESHIP NEW JERSEY'S 16-inch guns are aimed at the Ben Franklin Bridge from its anchorage in Camden, and when I'm doing my bus tours of Philadelphia near Penn's Landing I like to point that out. And I add, "If war ever breaks out between Pennsylvania and New Jersey those guns will take out the bridge to prevent an invasion."
That's a joke, of course, But if you've ever been on a tour belowdecks of the New Jersey there's a telling mural in the powder magazine where those 16-inch mega-cannon are loaded for firing. On one wall is a painting of the Grim Reaper holding his scythe with his skeletal hand above the words, "Those who oppose will meet me. DEMOCRACY AT ANY COST."
Now since we're all for Islam, I mean, Democracy, such a sentiment among warriors seems almost reasonable. Unless you consider that the American military is one of the least Democratic institutions in the nation.
I, for one, believe in Democracy. But I've seen my country do more wrong in Democracy's name than Christianity and Islam have done in the name of Jesus and Muhammed..
