Proposed Army manuel tells G.I.s not to insult Taliban, speak up for women

So the new proposed handbook for Americans serving in Afghanistan warns soldiers that a number of attacks on coalition forces were caused by "ignorance of, or lack of empathy for, Muslim and/or Afghan cultural norms" and in order to halt such attacks, the soldiers must be sure to not offend the "Muslim and/or Afghan" by avoiding some "taboo conversation topics." These topics include "making derogatory comments about the Taliban," "advocating women's rights," "any criticism of pedophilia," "directing any criticism toward Afghans," "mentioning homosexuality and homosexual conduct" or "anything related to Islam." So I guess the ham Christmas dinner is out?

This is absolutely insane. It's already a damn shame that thousands of soldiers have died for what will amount to not a damn thing when we pull out of Afghanistan allowing the Taliban to waltz back in and take over again like we we're never there, but now we are forcing the soldiers that are still there to be nice to the Taliban!?! Maybe 11 years is a long time for people's painfully short attention spans to remember, but the Taliban ARE THE BAD GUYS!!

The Taliban are the strict Muslim sect that restrict individual liberty. They're the ones who shot the 14 year old girl because she had the audacity to want an education. They're the ones who gave safe haven to Osama bin Laden, al quada, and other groups who plan and carry out plots to murder innocent people in order to spread fear. I know the word is hardly used anymore...but those are called terrorists. The Taliban are the group that women were protesting on the television show 7th Heaven a few years before 2001 because they are notorious violators of women's rights. (Yes, I watched 7th Heaven when I was a teenager. Jessica Biel was in it. 'Nuff said.) Because women have no rights to them; they're just property.

And now...now we are not only allowing them to abuse women, children, and anyone else they want to in the name of Sharia Law, but we're not even aloud to criticize them for it! You're telling me if a soldier sees a 12 year old girl being married off to a 40 year old, or being violently abused or even murdered because she didn't want to marry a 40 year old...that the soldier can't do or SAY a damn thing about it because it might offend a pedophile!?! Are. You. Serious!? What a bloody crock! Someone needs the smart smacked back into them!

So now I guess our soldiers are fighting in order to enslave people and not to free them anymore. So everyone has basic human liberties...except the Afghan people who only deserve to be enslaved by a deadly and repressive culture. Glad America has finally given up on that whole "liberty for all" thing. After all, 14 year old girls should only be used as sex slaves. To think they should even be allowed outside is so 20th century...

Of course this is only a proposed update at this point and General Allen disapproves, so if there is any sanity left in America this will all be thrown out and never spoken of again. I'm not making any bets on that. But on a positive note, the Obama Administration's decision to actively hire retards seems to be working just fine...because this proposition clearly could only have come from a retard.

Rape! Rape! Rape! (Libya?)

Big news today: Richard Mourdock, an Indiana Republican candidate for Senate, said he thinks God wants women to be raped!

Ok...he didn't actually say that. But that's how it's being reported across the country. What Mr. Mourdock actually said was that he believes every life is a gift from God, even one resulting from a rape is God's will. The story being reported, however, is one of just another Republican who hates women. I actually saw a headline earlier (though I can't remember where) that read, "Republican candidate says rape is part of God's will." I mean...seriously? Is this what passes as news nowadays. Take one white male Republican, add in a religious belief about abortion, spin, stir, and obfuscate, then serve to the public with a dash of feminism. This dude said what most true Christians believe; that life begins at conception and since all life is precious, even a life caused by a horrible thing such as rape, then that life is a precious part of God's will. And that's EXACTLY what Richard Mourdock said. Yet the way it's being reported is absolutely astounding and ridiculous.

While searching for where I saw that headline...because I always like to be accurate about what I say here...I came across another equally astounding and ridiculous headline about rape in the Huffington Post. (I believe that's where the Mourdock headline was as well, but can't find it now so I could be wrong.) As I was scouring the website I noticed the word Pennsylvania, and being a Pennsylvania resident, I took notice. This is the headline:

"Pennsylvania Bill Includes
Provision Requiring Women
To Prove They Were Raped"

That IS a shockingly terrible thing to have to make a woman prove. Then I read the first line of the article:

"A bill in the Pennsylvania House proposing the reduction of welfare benefits for low-income women contains a provision requiring a woman who became pregnant from rape to prove that she reported her assault."

Prove what? Prove that she was raped? NO! Prove that she REPORTED the rape! How can news organizations get away with so twisting things and, in this case, lying outright in the headline!? Is there no such thing as journalistic integrity anymore?? The article goes on to explain that the bill is about cutting or reducing welfare, and that mothers who became pregnant as a result of rape will not be discontinued from receiving welfare. Hence, so someone can't come out and take advantage of that by saying they were raped when they weren't, they have to have proof they reported the rape. Doesn't seem so barbaric and insensible if it's reported correctly does it?

This whole faux outrage over some people's comments about rape and abortion is outrageous. All the more outrageous is that it only seems to be directed towards Republicans! President Obama even used Mourdock's statement as another example of his phony war on women. Yet...Breitbart.com reported that a Democratic Congressman, Jerry McNerney from California, wrote a novel in which one character explains that men evolved to be able to rape women because it prevents inbreeding. Yet no one, NO ONE, is talking about that. Because he's a Democrat. Hypocrisy bothers me.

You know what else bothers me. The fact that 4 Americans were killed in a terrorist attack in Libya and the Obama Administration has been lying about it and covering things up about it...and yet the news is about rape and abortion and the phony war on women. And not just making that the top news stories, but twisting it to make it sound so much more worse than what it actually is....I mean, I know it's not news, but the media has become absolutely pathetic.
