a little perspective

"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."
Psalm 119:105


Cue the twilight zone music

In the wake of the news that fundamentalists are seeking to become school bus drivers, followed by the news that Philippine children were taken hostage on a school bus by terrorists, you can see why the Burlington, New Jersey school district portrayed terrorists as fundamentalists in their latest school safety drill.


Of course, the fundamentalists which are seeking to become school bus drivers are Islamic fundamentalists. It only stands to reason that the fundamentalists in the Burlington school terrorist scenario were ... Christians.


While I could find no instances in the recent news of Christians acting as terrorists, I did find vast accounts of Islamic fundamentalists terrorizing people. It just goes to show that logic and reason have no place in the Burlington, New Jersey schools. Michelle Malkin observes this isn't the first time schools have made the Christians the bad guys in these scenarios since 9-11.


While we are talking about appeasing the Islamic fundamentalists, Britain is more and more omitting the Holocaust from its history curriculum so as not to offend Holocaust deniers, who are all Islamic fundamentalists. They don't worry about offending Jews, because, like Christians, they don't strap bombs on and go about blowing up innocents. Um, Britain, could you please call the Burlington, New Jersey schools and clue them in on who the bad guys really are? They haven't figured it out yet.

I am researching the holy days which were instituted by God as a celebration of the Messiah, instead of celebrating the holy days which were instituted by man to honor nature in place of nature's God.
