If there's an example of the American Character that terrorists can reference to avoid tossing and turning at night...this is surely it. Just when I thought that football players, coaches, and fans couldn't possibly stoop to a lower level of subhuman depravity, along comes Penn. State University.
I LOVE PEDOPHILES!
SEE YOU ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD!!
Let's start from the beginning.
At 9:30 in the evening on Friday, March 1, 2002 Penn. State graduate assistant Mike McQueary witnesses Assistant Coach Jerry Sandusky sodomizing a 10 year old boy in the shower.
Mike McQueary didn't call the police.
Instead, he called his father John McQueary who told him to call Head Coach Joe Paterno. He called the next day, then met Paterno at his home and reported what he'd seen.
Neither John McQueary nor Joe Paterno called the police.
Instead, Paterno hosted athletic director Tim Curley at his home and reported what McQueary had seen.
Tim Curley didn't call the police either.
Nobody called the police. It's possible that these guys really do love pedophiles. Or perhaps they just didn't care about the victim. After all...what's the safety of a ten year old sodomy victim compared to the public image of a living deity like Jerry Sandusky?
Nine and a half years after all of these guys should have been thrown in prison, the University belatedly got around to firing Joe Paterno and College President Graham Spanier. Instead of protesting the university's half hearted response to the crime, hundreds of Penn. State college students stage a riot in support of Joe Paterno. They knocked over a television van and chanted, "We want Joe!" in a very successful public reminder of why Columbine killers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold massacred members of their student body instead of targeting the jocks they claimed to hate.
The basic reason that no one notified the police is simple: The institution of football harbors, enriches, and deifies some of the sickest sociopaths that the American Family can produce. That includes a good percentage of the fan base.
If the 10 year old child of any of the college staff listed here or of any of those college students who rioted was being molested, they'd demand that the world come to a screeching halt and impose the harshest possible punishment upon the offender. But because the victim was someone else's child and the pedophile was a really, really important member of the gridiron elite, it was covered up like so many other embarrassing revelations about the true character of football enthusiasts.
Americans who really want to demonstrate their support for victims can skip the phony baloney candlelight vigils and blue shirt days. If you really want to send a message, simply take a year off. Don't show up for any of the big four sports: football, hockey, basketball, or baseball at any level, high school through the pros for one calendar year. If all those scumbags care about is money, then the only tactic they'll pay attention to is a public willing to shut off their cash flow. This won't happen of course. Americans don't care about victims, even the most innocent of victims and the world's terrorists know it.
And that's all that the world's terrorists need to know about Americans in order to sleep at night.
Every terrorist wannabe and every criminal in America can thank Ron Paul, M.D. who took a Hippocratic Oath...OB/GYN Ron Paul who cares for women and infants...Presidential Candidate for the Republican Party Ron Paul for leaving no doubt that human life has no value and human suffering is a non-issue.
How does Ron Paul feel about all of our nation's evil, socialist, taxpayer funded fire departments? They don't ask emergency callers if they have insurance. They don't send fire victims a bill. And even Ann Coulter hasn't stooped low enough to suggest that people shop around for the lowest price fire department while their home burns to the ground.
The world's terrorists can thank Ron Paul for removing any moral impediments to sacrificing human life and imposing human suffering in the pursuit of their goals. After all, who are terrorists to argue with the tenet that health insurance industry profits and bloated executive bonuses are more important than human life.
Ron Paul for President!!
Five years after blithely attempting to injure another player three times during a single game back in 2006, Brian Wood is still allowed to play football.
Chicken Soup fans will remember that he became the subject of national news stories when Riveroak Redskins Assistant Coach Cory Petero attempted to knock some sense into him during a game on September 2, 2006. The story is a simple and familiar one:
Brian Wood, like all bullies was perfectly content dishing it out to victims who are smaller and weaker than he is. When a larger Cory Petero put him on the receiving end of his own behavior Brian Wood (the bully), the parents who taught him how to treat smaller, weaker people, and all of the world's usual sociopath enablers expressed outrage and feigned bewilderment because there was one adult present who dared to put the safety of the victim ahead of the ego of a stereotypical Columbine Jock. A follow up story reported that Cory Petero was sentenced to pick up trash on the highway for a few weekends, serve four years on probation, complete a 16 week anger management program, and pay Brian Wood (the bully) $100. Brian Wood's mother, Denise Champion expressed outrage and disappointment with what she described as a light sentence.
I'd give the guy a medal.
Once again, terrorists have yet another example to study. American parents raise their children to intentionally harm smaller, weaker children and public outrage is entirely directed at the only adult on the field willing to punish the offender.
Today is the 10th anniversary of the event known almost universally as "9/11" and there are numerous dedications and memorial services going on as I write. In fact, I've seen more documentaries about 9/11 over the last two weeks than I can remember. I joked to one of my coworkers the other day that I was half expecting to hear a report about the effect of 9/11 on the hairdressing industry.
And now for those "embarrassing statistics."
In the decade since 9/11, according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Report, Americans have committed the following crimes against other Americans:
Homicide: 163,705
Forcible Rape: 927,387
Aggravated Assault: 8,619,877
The American Family just keeps churning them out.
Al Quaeda would have to stage more than five 9/11 attacks every year in order to come close to the rate at which Americans murder other Americans. The United States is not a nation of angels. It's not even close. If you want to make this country a better place to live, take a good look in the mirror and ask what you've done to avoid rewarding or otherwise enabling American criminals. And if you're not even willing to make that small effort toward your own country's future, stop complaining about terrorism, because you aren't really all that concerned about victims.

One of the objectives of Basic Military Training is to dehumanize the enemy in an effort to make it easier for inexperienced, young soldiers to kill them without hesitation or regret.
Domestic terrorists like Timothy McVeigh and the Columbine killers have an advantage over military recruits in that their target, the American public dehumanizes itself by routinely supporting criminals and punishing victims.
Once again we have a case that involves a football player in Texas. The basic story is simple and familiar:
A high school football and basketball player rapes a cheerleader at a party and is arrested the next day. He is set free almost immediately and is allowed to return to school and to play sports. The cheerleader he raped refused to cheer for him and is punished by school administrators by being removed from the cheerleading squad. The victim's parents sue the school, lose, and are also punished by being required to pay $45,000 to reimburse the school district for legal costs.
Admittedly, the lawsuit was a dumb idea. I don't believe it was frivolous, just dumb. The courts are clogged, inefficient, and ineffective. The fact that the rapist did not go to prison is evidence enough of that.
Terrorists can judge whether their targets are civilized people or just another bunch of mean, stupid, and callous human animals by paying close attention to two simple facts:
1) School administrators could easily have displayed an iota of class by ignoring the rape victim's harmless act of defiance.
2) The audience, which is under no legal or moral obligation to support the accused rapist's right to attend school and play sports could have demonstrated their concern for crime victims by staying home when Mister Penis was scheduled to play. They didn't do that because American sports fans are just fine with violent criminal athletes as long as someone else's son or daughter is being brutalized.
Terrorists can take comfort from the fact that the average American is even more callous than the average terrorist.
Terrorists can cool their ethical jets by reading about yet another example of the sort of characters the American Family is proud of producing.
DUSTIN CAMP
I'll be adding to the story about this gem of the American Family later. For now, read this and this.
American Hero of the gridiron Dustin Camp got away with murder for very simple reasons: He played football and he committed murder in Texas. What else do you need to know?
Is this the same guy? If not, then it's an amazing coincidence.
Anyone interested in the Dustin Camp case should find this interesting.
Here's more.
As always...Why do so many Americans behave in a manner that makes it so easy for terrorists, foreign or domestic to hate them?
Terrorists need not lose sleep over the possibility of harming children. American parents certainly don't.
Kelly White is the mother of a boy who was being bullied. You can read about and watch a highly stimulating MMA video here and be sure to check out the comments left by both sides of the controversy, some of which I quoted below. You can also google "Kelly White" and "bully" for a long list of similar articles.
You can learn about Ms. White's character by reading the May 4, 2011, 12:40 PM comment left by one of her alleged neighbors using the screen name "Neighbor of Kelly." Here's the text of the comment in the event that it mysteriously disappears:
"ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS THAT THERE IS MORE TO MS. WHITE THEN MEETS THE EYE…….LOOK AT HER CRIMINAL RECORD AND HOW MANY TIMES CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES HAVE BEEN TO HER HOUSE *MULITPLE TIMES* ALSO WHEN SHE LIVED DOWN THE STREET FROM US THE COPS WOULD BE THERE ALMOST EVERY NIGHT FOR ABUSE! CRAZY HOW PEOPLE ARE SO QUICK TO DEFEND THIS WOMAN WHEN THEY HAVE NEVER MET HER…SHE IS A FANTASTIC LIAR HAS BEEN HER WHOLE LIFE!"
Another comment about Ms. Kelly's character was left by someone named "ex neighbor":
"this woman has 6 kids… i have witnesed this family before… CRAZY… people…. comdoms do work and they need to invest heavely…. she through her kid into a dog fight… and i bet she is so proud that he lost…. what was she thinking…. they know the police… or should i say the police know them well… and do there jobs… she crossed a fine line and i hope finally she does jail time.."
And yet another personal acquaintance named "dont believe the hype" leaves their opinion:
"this woman is crazy dealt with her in my neighborhood last year same type of situation the only victims are her neighbors. hope they press charges on the crazy lady"
Ms. White also has many defenders who insist that the only way to stop bullying is for the victim to beat the bully in a fight. Their shameless hatred of America's least violent children should help assuage any guilt the world's terrorists may be having:
Sezamne says,
"She is right I agree with her 100% no fighting does not solve everything in this case the mom was right!!!!!!!!!!"
Rachel says,
"Yes I agree. She is a mother defending her helpless child. She had enough and most of the time it takes this to end the bullying unfortunately but kids can be cruel. You could tell how upset and anxious she was about the situation, anyone can see that. She is a parent protecting her child……………."
Actually Rachel, Kelly White not only avoided "protecting her child" she aggressively put him in more danger. You're an idiot.
And Johnny I.O.U says,
"I am 100% in agreement with this Mom. The child would be scared to stand up for himself away from some adult insuring that any altercation would be a one on one incident. I had this same thing happen to my son when he was in Chesapeake middle school when a bunch of boys and girls came after my son right up to our property. I tried to find out what the deal was and just as these kids done,they also ran and sped away in their vehicles. I jumped in my own vehicle and went to the school and guess what ? They were there laughing and bragging and I approcahed and asked them if the one person who had a beef with my son wanted to fight then come on back to the house and I would insure that it remained 1 on 1. They fought ( I made sure there were no weapons involved ) and after it was done without any major injuries the gang bunch went on their way and my son had no more problem out of them. He later told me that he couldn’t believe that I went to the school and brought them back.But it was settled that day without any serious injury and surely no charges being brought.It does no good to talk to the parents of the offenders. I have tried that also and like some-one mentioned.Then the parents want to fight you."
Johnny I.O.U is either a psychopath or someone who feels the need to make up a story to dull the pain of his own childhood experiences.
There are many other comments left by parents who shamelessly express a morbid fear that their children won't be feared by other people's children. The problem with this sort of parenting is simple and obvious. Someone's child will be the least violent individual in the neighborhood. Obviously, that child's safety means nothing to psycho mom's defenders. And then there's the obvious hypocrisy and personal cowardice of America's current crop of "stand up for yourself" parents. I'm willing to bet that most if not all of psycho mom's defenders wouldn't hesitate to file criminal charges and probably sue for damages as well if they were being bullied by one or more of their co-workers. After all...adults deserve to be protected from violent criminals. Children are different from adults. They don't vote, lobby, or pay taxes. Their safety isn't important.
American parents can be proud of making it easy for the world's terrorists to sleep at night.
