Have you noticed how many murders there have been lately? It's unbelievable. The guy in Florida who shot and killed a family of 4, all but the daughter, though shooting her 7 times; the couple in Long Beach who got shot on the street, both dying, as the woman's daughter watches. In Charlotte NC, there has been three homicides in the last 24 hours. A 17 year old in Wisconsin got sentenced to 20 years for killing his 7 year old cousin, torturing him. Also in Wisconsin, a grandfather used a sledgehammer, mallet, and coat rack to beat his 12 year old grandson to death. In Chicago, it was reported that there were 78 homicides in August. And I could keep going. It was just last Wednesday that another fatal school shooting occurred, this time in North Carolina.
And with that murdering in mind, do you realize how insane it is for us to worry about terrorists in Afghanistan plotting to kill us? They're in Afghanistan. They're half-way around the world. The only way they could hurt us from there is if we go there. As long as we don't go there, they can't hurt us. All they can do from Afghanistan is flap their lips. And why worry about that when the murder of Americans by Americans is happening at a frightening pace? That family in Florida were just at home at their house, their cocoon of safety, sleeping in their beds in the wee hours of the morning, when that guy burst in and started shooting. He didn't even known them.
Senator Lindsey Graham is the senior Senator from South Carolina. This year, 2021, South Carolina set an all time record for murders, up 25%. And, you know what they say; that it's hard to solve crimes in South Carolina because they all have the same DNA, and they have no dental records.
Just the other day, the Idiot Graham said that we'll have to send troops back to Afghanistan to resolve the terror threat there to keep Americans safe. Americans aren't safe. They aren't safe here, from each other. To address the dangers that Americans face by sending troops back to Afghanistan would be maniacal. He is out of his mind. But, it's no wonder he got elected and relected in South Carolina.
Even if you believe the cockamamie 9/11 story that Fatty, I mean, Osama bin laden sent jihadists here to go to dinky airport flight schools to learn how to fly Cessnas, and from that, they were doing 270 degrees corkscrew turns while rapidly descending in a 757, what does it matter? We've tightened up our secuirity, right? They couldn't even get the boxcutters on the planes any more.
If every terrorist in the world went to Afghanistan, it would be great for us, although not so good for the Afghans, and I don't wish it on them. The point is that Graham's stupid thinking is what got us to launch that catastrophic 20 year war in the first place. And, despite the horrific outcome with hundreds of thousands dead, Graham has learned nothing. He is still caught up in the same, stupid George-w-Busian mindset.
Besides being the country that owes more money that all the other nations on Earth combined and by a wide margin, America is more: it is the land of delusions; where lessons never get learned; where the same disastrous mistakes are made over and over; where brainless blowhards like Graham get elected over and over; and though it is the 21st century, savagery and butchery are rising exponentially. In a word, this place is turning into a hell hole.
