Where it the other Outrage?




Afghanistan politicians outraged by the moving of a presumptive killer of 16 being  moved out or the country. Muslims around the world, interestingly not here at home, are outraged at the killing of the 16 innocents. So am I. But you kknowwhat? Shit happens.
What I want to know is this: where is the Muslim outrage at Bashar Assad killing more than 8000, read that EIGHT THOUSAND innocent men women and children is Syria. All or nearly all Muslims. No outrage that I can find. And what about all the Korans that are blown up and burned in the homes shelled by the Syrian tanks? Outrage? Naw.
So what we have here is situational outrage. As long a Muslim is killing Muslims or Christians or anyone else, no outrage. But let one soldier kill one Afghani or Iraqi or any other Muslim, or accidently profane a holy book and they go berserk. Killing innocents, their own as well as ours. So it seems that the United States doesn’t hold the exclusive on Morons. We have ours (birthers or Obama causes gas prices) and they have theirs.

It is really time for the world to come together to stop the merciless killing in Syria, and the people that need to step up the the plate are the Muslim countries of the Middle East. Not us. Them.

Things have been a little slow lately. Huh? Slow? Woody, are you a MORON? The world is in turmoil, the Republicans are eating their young, the “winter” is too damn hot, the sea is rising, gas prices are going up and Obama is going down. What’s not to write about?
The problem is “event overload” and a diminished amount of angst. Not total angst, but just angst spread too thin. Even Woody can’t get totally pissed at ALL the things that need rants.
But. But. Ahh, the "but". There is one thing that is center stage. Stupid people who run around like idiots every time someone pulls their chain. Take gas prices for example. The root cause of the increase is NOT SUPPLY. It is worried oil traders. They are worried about Iran and the consequences of a blockage of Middle Eastern oil. That’s it Folks. It HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA, GINGRINCH, SANTORUM OR THE OTHER GUY. Obama has no control over the oil traders of the world. He has authorized more drilling than Bush. More, not less you idiots. So why the higher prices you ask. The U.S. refineries are making fuel as fast as they can and selling it overseas at DOUBLE THE PRICE YOU PAY. They are making HUGE profits at the expense of the world, and yes, us too.

Don’t vote for Obama if you think he is a jerk. But for heaven’s sake, don’t blame him for GAS PRICES.  And, by the way, he IS a citizen and he ISN’T a Muslim.
