Seraphic Question
Liberals and Muslim spokesmen never tire in telling us that the Islamic terrorists who are bent on the destruction of American democracy are not true Muslims. That in fact, they have "hijacked Islam" and perverted its true message.
So here's my question: if these people are not true Muslims why are we giving them copies of the Koran in their jail cells?
It's a bit like giving a drug addict all the heroin he wants when he's in rehab.
On this Memorial Day, remember and pay tribute to our soldiers. It is they who ensure that liberals get to spout their nonsense, not the protestors who devalue everything a soldier does and stands for. It is the soldier who keeps you free, not the college professor who sneers at their love of country. It is the American soldier who has freed fifty million Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq, not the elitist college students who call President Bush a mass murderer, yet have never condemned Sadam's Hussein's crimes against humanity. And it is the American soldier who makes sure that you can worship freely, or not worship at all.

Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.
1. No profanity.2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism. That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.
I couldn't agree more. I've often said the men and women who serve in the armed forces are true American heroes.

Your comments were very appropriate. I spoke to both of your uncles today, proud veterans
who certainly knew what they were fighting for.

Amen! My take on it is that these liberals in many ways are in denial of what is human nature. These lovely so-called academians who major in Denial have so quickly forgotten their Psychology 101. A criminal/terrorist will not stop being a meanie if you simply give him a hug. You give him tough love! He steals from you? Don't ask him how his mother treated him - you throw him in jail (okay, maybe you can read him bedtime stories then..)!
PS- I wonder who holds the remote in a liberal household when there is no gender.

Yeah! Stupid evil terrorists shouldn't get anything! They're lucky they get food and water!
While we're at it, though, we should really do this right...
It's a sad fact that there are a lot of nominally Orthodox Jews in prison right now. Most (probably) for "white-collar" crimes -- though ask a near-retiree who's lost everything about the victimless nature of some of those crimes -- but some almost certainly for violent crimes. Rape, Murder, etc.
Let's make sure none of them have any kosher food, or s'forim.
And when they want to pray three times a day, I say to Hell with 'em. They kneel by their beds and talk to God that way, like normal folks!
