A rant of the worst and best of the Yutes of America.

I've often posted on my issues with people, especially younger people, being clueless to life around themselves. My pervious rants on idiots near a hold up alarm or near a shooting scene. But this one really got to me.

I have paid scant attention to story of the three hikers (Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Joshua Fattal) who were kidnapped by the Iranians a couple of years ago. There are thousands of miles to hike in America (Rockies, Appalachian Trail, countless states and federal parks) but these three morons decide “let's go around the border of a third world dictatorship...” Not like you could hike in Europe, numerous Asian and African countries in relative safety. No, they wanted to hike all over where they could be captured by the worlds foremost 13th century nation.

After countless effort by their betters the young woman was released last year and after someone came up with the ransom Beavis and Butthead were released. Now it would be easy, intelligent and dignified to simply show gratitude for getting out.



That is too much to ask.

Shane Bauer put his foot in his mouth after his partner in crime thanked the government of Oman for paying off the Iranians with this quote, “...we sincerely hope for the freedom of other political prisoners and others imprisoned in America and Iran.” I would have thought someone who just spent two years in solitary confinement in an Iranian prison, without cable TV, without a weight room or gym, a lack of good food, no tax payer provided lawyers or multiple other lawyer groups putting one roadblock after another in front of the justice system, would kinda get the idea America wasn’t so bad. No, don’t every underestimate the stupidity of the young out here. I could just ask the idiot name one political prisoner in America but I know he will answer it with a cop killer like Troy Davis, You would think an intelligent person would know not to compare Iran and America. Then again I should not confuse intelligence and education.

I did take a quick look at the three and besides the usual left wing causes (environmental movement, writing for Mother Jones, etc.) they were all part on the Palestine Solidarity Movement. Maybe children this would show you how much that helps you with the powers in the Middle East. Or how much the Palestinian issue means to them.

On to better subjects I have seen the recent Medal of Honor winner, SGT Dakota Meyer and he is now working with the Marine Corps Scholarship Fund for the children of wounded Marines. His goal is to raise a million by May 28th 2012.

I sent 20 dollars to the man. Please send what you can.

The best of this country...and the not so good. I’ll stick with SGT Meyer.

Have a great week!
