Another American beheaded by the jihadis. RIP, Peter Kassig. And another announcement of holy war against us and our countrymen, everywhere including here.
On the main page of the Backwoods Home website is posted the current issue of the magazine, which includes this article: http://backwoodshome.com/articles2/ayoob150.html . It was assigned by BHM founder Dave Duffy, and written, before such recent events in our country as one lone wolf jihadist who beheaded a helpless woman in Oklahoma, and another attacked rookie cops with a hatchet in New York City.
It is significant that both of those potential mass murders was cut short by swift action. In New York, two of the blindsided cops went down badly hurt, and then the other two ended the “ax attack” with a hail of 9mm Gold Dot +P bullets from their service pistols. In Oklahoma, the carnage was terminated when the guy in charge of the workplace shot the jihadist down. The businessman who performed the heroic rescue happened to be a reserve law enforcement officer who had his patrol rifle accessible. Was he an armed citizen, or a cop? In my view, he was both, and it doesn’t really matter. What matters is, a good guy with a gun was there to stop a bad guy obviously bent on mass murder.
This morning, I saw a talking head on national TV news ask the incredibly stupid question, “Should we take this threat seriously?”
Oh, I dunno…ask Peter Kassig.
I gather Peter Kassig converted to islam while captured. I think safe to say that was forced conversion made in attempt to save his life. And I would probably do same thing and renounce it if I was released.
I saw a brief tv spot of his funeral and it looked like muslim funeral. Then I found this in link below where parents are referring to him by his muslim name. I can not believe that his parents would accept his forced conversion to islam. Have I missed something? Link

Dennis – it pains me no end to agree with your thoughtful commentary. I have undergone a most thorough metamorphosis in my life. I was a pot-smoking, long-haired hippy freak that got drafted in 1967 and only escaped war by squeezing into a Reserve unit 2 days before I had to report. I managed to lead a double life of sorts – “playing Army” on weekends/summer camp (while wearing a short-haired wig!), going to smoke-ins, demonstrations, etc. I am telling you this because I feel it is MY generation – the boomers – who, in the majority (the minority – think Mas here, have been solid from day one) who have “led” this nation to the abyss we are now teetering upon. Now that I have grown children of my own, with a grandchild nearly here, I feel immense responsibility for the malaise that is prevalent in our society. We ignored – even made fun of – the leadership of true Americans like Ronald Reagan and others for years. However, there is hope as so many of my generation that I speak to these days has “become aware,” realizing where the right path really is – and pursuing it. I have reacquainted myself with that precious document we call our Constitution and will go to my deathbed defending all that it stands for. May God continue to bless these United States of America!

Thanks Lew, for your concern. I probably sound like a racist, but I am just being practical. If the weather stays like it is now, 10 degrees, I don’t think anything major will happen. Maybe that was the intent all along, to delay the Grand Jury’s pronouncement until the weather took a turn for the worse.

Have you guys read about CAIR’s involvement in Ferguson? I guarantee it will not make you happy. I first read about it on FOX’s website. All Americans should be aware of what they are doing. Randy – please try to stay safe!

Ideally cops ARE armed citizens. Just with a bit more training perhaps.
Unfortunately that LEO training and mindset can get cops in trouble when they don’t have their duty gear, uniform, and more importantly quick backup.
A week or so after I got back from Vietnam I ran across a two-car-with-injuries accident compounded by a grass fire. I was very nearly in the middle of trouble before I realized the person I ordered to call for help was deer-in-the-headlights, and the platoon I expected to back me up was half a world away.
