Patton Oswalt's facebook response to the bombings has gone viral. Pretty good stuff.

Boston. Fucking horrible.

I remember, when 9/11 went down, my reaction was, "Well, I've had it with humanity."

But I was wrong. I don't know what's going to be revealed to be behind all of this mayhem. One human insect or a poisonous mass of broken sociopaths.

But here's what I DO know. If it's one person or a HUNDRED people, that number is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of the population on this planet. You watch the videos of the carnage and there are people running TOWARDS the destruction to help out. (Thanks FAKE Gallery founder and owner Paul Kozlowski for pointing this out to me). This is a giant planet and we're lucky to live on it but there are prices and penalties incurred for the daily miracle of existence. One of them is, every once in awhile, the wiring of a tiny sliver of the species gets snarled and they're pointed towards darkness.

But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, "The good outnumber you, and we always will."

Are you really a vegetarian?

The point is people cannot place some words on a piece of paper and expect it to prevent crazy people from doing crazy things.

I am not sure why that is so hard for some to understand. Yet the anti second amendment people will tell you that 2 less rounds in a magazine will cure everything. It is asinine.

The laws against murdering people and blowing up people were ignored in Boston. That is the point.

We do need to mind our own business around the world when it doesn't concern us, but it still doesn't give them any right to kill innocent people. If they want to kill people they need to kill the politicians who are behind all the policies and invasions that are making them so angry.

Here's the thing, these people feel that you have done just that. Gone into their countries killed innocent people and set up barbaric regimes. Let's say the chinese were to overthrow your president and "install" a socialist tyrannt who would torture and imprison all those opposing him while getting stupidly rich with your countries riches. What would your reaction be if/when an american would blow up a city block during their new years celebration? I'm thinking you are an educated person that would condem those acts, but how do you think the less educated would view it? Do you think they would cheer? Consider them heroes? Freedom fighters?

The Tea Party weighs in

Unfortunately the sad truth is we will be hit again. It will happen sooner or later. It will probably be sooner than later.

There are two reasons why we will be hit again. First, we have a determined enemy who hates us. Second, we have a government that is not committed to protecting America.

It is a pretty safe bet right now that this attack was carried out by an Islamist. It was a well-coordinated attack. In its publication, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula called for just this kind of attack.

While the government and media have fallen all over themselves to downplay this fact, there is a twenty-year-old Saudi student being detained as a “person of interest.” Person of interest in a nice police term that is used for someone who is not under arrest and therefore does not have to be read his Miranda rights and who hopefully will not lawyer up.

Barack Obama could not force himself to use the word “terrorism” in his speech last night and the FBI right now won’t call this a terrorist incident.

…

The reason we will be hit again is because our government is not committed to destroying our enemy. Radical Islam is our enemy.

Some in the far end of the Liberty Movement will start screaming about war mongering “Neo-cons.” Nothing could be further from the truth.

…

We need to first recognize our enemy and then come up with a strategy to destroy them. This is an ideological war. While sometimes that will mean guns and bombs, neither will destroy an ideology.

The values of the west, most of them good, some of them not so good are what will destroy radical Islam. In the west, we fall all over ourselves not to insult Islam.

Why?

We can go down the list of things Islam has done to the west. During the height of the Cold War, the Soviets came up with something called the Brezhnev doctrine. It said, “What’s ours is ours. What is yours is negotiable.” Radical Islam and perhaps even non-radical Islam holds to the same belief.

They believe that once a nation becomes Islamic it cannot have Islam removed from it. However, non-Islamic nations may be conquered or otherwise taken over.

Reagan knew that America had to stand up to the Communist threat. Bill Clinton wanted to ignore the Islamist threat. George W. Bush just wanted to hold the hand of the Saudi king and Barack Obama just wants to bow to him. As we mourn the victims of Boston, we need to make a solemn vow that we will not allow this to happen again.

The only way we make sure this never happens again is to identify our enemy and then craft a strategy to totally defeat that enemy.

Crush Islam.

Boston Marathon investigation: FBI may have suspect in bombings; arrest imminent

By Liz Goodwin, Yahoo! News | The Lookout – 49 mins ago
http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout...nce-substantial-progress-probe-170749073.html

Authorities believe they have identified a suspect from video footage in the Boston Marathon bombings, Reuters reported Wednesday. An arrest is imminent, according to the AP, while the Boston Globe said the arrest had already been made. A spokeswoman for the the US attorney's office in Boston would not comment on the reports of the arrest.

The FBI is holding a press conference at 5 p.m. and is expected to announce the news then. CNN reported that the breakthrough in the investigation came from analyzing department store surveillance video and video from a news station.

The Boston Globe reported that officials have found an image of "a suspect carrying, and perhaps dropping, a black bag at the second bombing scene."

An FBI spokesman in Boston and a spokeswoman for Boston Mayor Tom Menino declined to comment on the reports to Yahoo News.

Radical Islamists are our friends? I did not know that.

I am glad they have a suspect. That is good news. It will be interesting to see who it is and what the motivation was.

Typical media jackasses who value being first instead of being right.
