What I Care About

 I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran

was "desecrated" when an overworked

American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...

Well, I don't. I don't care at all.

 I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in

the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible,

the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi

Arabia .

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they

are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg 's head

while Berg screamed through his gurgling

slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called

"insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight

like men instead of disrespecting their

own religion by hiding in mosques.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow

themselves up in search of nirvana care

about the innocent children within range

of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the American media stops

pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law

instead of the United States Constitution's

Bill of Rights.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a

brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to

obtain information, know this: I don't care.

When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked

Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in

what amounts to a college-hazing incident,

rest assured: I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot

in the head when he is told not to move

because he might be booby-trapped,

you can take it to the bank: I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner, who was

issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and fed

"special" food that is paid for by my tax

dollars, is complaining that his holy book

is being "mishandled," you can absolutely

believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that

sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other

times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn

and - you guessed it - I don't care ! ! ! ! !

"Some people spend an entire lifetime

wondering if they made a difference in

the world. But, the Marines don't have

that problem." -- Ronald Reagan

"If we ever forget that we're One Nation

Under God, then we will be a nation gone

under." Also by.. Ronald Reagan

One last thought for the day:

In case we find ourselves starting to

believe all the anti-American sentiment

and negativity, we should remember

England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair 's

words during a recent interview. When

asked by one of his Parliament members

why he believes so much in America ,

he said:

"A simple way to take measure of a country

is to look at how many want in... And how

many want out."

Only two defining forces have ever offered

to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The American G. I.
