Examine The Nastiness And Constraints Of That Most Wonderfully Evolved Of All Races And Its Unrelenting Propensity For Dangerous Stampedes. On This Dec. 03, 2008 Unedited Porchcast Of The BS Show® With Bjorn And Shawn.
Many kinds of extremists are taken to task in this episode of the world’s number one porchcast sometimes called “The Anything Doesn’t Go Show” for good reason. All but the hardest of heart will again realize why that is so by watching this week’s near-Churchillian manifestation of The BS Show® with Bjorn And Shawn.

Remember the scene in Harrison Ford’s old movie where Indiana Jones was scared almost as witless as the film’s audience by the intimidating imposition of a desert-savvy, middle eastern garbed, enemy combatant, of sorts, wielding two glistening swords and threatening to emphasize with immediacy the fragility and brevity of Jones’ earthly mortality?
And remember your great relief when Jones — the film’s good guy — having recalled the loaded handgun on his person just shot the guy? Me, too. I loved it.
My point is that, in light of the recent Islamic extremist lethality in Mumbai (Bombay), and given the clock-like dependability of human nature to, in the real world, assiduously come up with new recreant expressions of evil — some of which are destructive of innocents and innocence — it will always be in good people’s best interest everywhere that superior fire power reside in the hands of the good guys. Always.
However, where foolishness and strategic nuttery (think head-in-the-sand pollyannas and pacifists, for example) outweigh palpable quantities of goodness, humility, and reason (hopefully instantiated in the form of law and jurisprudence), uncontroverted danger will persist and metasticize often to needlessly catastrophic proportions. Who wants that? (Hint: Don’t ask PC extremists at the New York Times who can’t or won’t admit the vast, pragmatic differences among an extreme radical like Mother Teresa, an extreme radical like Abu Musab al-Zarquawi, and an extreme radical like Joseph Stalin.)
In anticipation of the next stealthly scheduled Militant Muslim Mayhem it would be best if the “gooder” among the human race — or at least the less evil — could muster enough courage to finally begin: (1) recognizing the paucity of wisdom which besets us as a race; (2) questioning our unwillingness to accurately judge,* parse, and extirpate the ideas and ideologies which repeatedly foment wanton mass murder; and (3) demanding that our protective personnel be so overwhelmingly equipped by us (in comparison to those passionate, genocidal jihadists just around the corner) that the good guys will not have to fear the lethal embarrassment of bringing a bamboo cane to a machine gun fight.
* Yes, the author knowingly used the word “judge.” If this causes the reader to judge the column differently, or to judge that the author has misjudged, the reader might further judge the merits of retracting any judgments as may be construed to be judgmental. As an adjunct readers are also encouraged to judge that the numbness propagated by the anti-judging zealots in our universities will cause history’s judgment of us to be justifiably pitiless.
“After the India [Islamic terrorist] nightmare, note [President-elect Obama's] reaction to dismantling the FISA accords, Patriot Act, Guantánamo, and withdrawing from Iraq, as the campaign rhetoric of [President] Bush shredding the Constitution morphs into something like ‘the public will turn on a dime and blame us for criminal laxity if anything like 9/11 happens on our watch.’” — V.D. Hanson, 2008.
