IT IS NEVER "ALL"

 During and after last night GOP's debate it occurred to me that our society, i.e. most people living in our country, are unable to accept individuality.  To define any group by the actions of one or a few within that group as "all" is a dangerous error.  The effect of that type of thinking promotes ignorance and prejudice.  We saw that during the debate in the questions and in a lot of the responses to those questions.
I'm as upset as anyone regarding our parties inability to change and or upset the applecart of progressive liberalism which infects our society, but.  As Senator Rubio pointed out, regarding the Islamist jihadists, not "all" Muslims are infected with a hatred of American values, principles and our people.  The world has a difficult problem on its hands.  How do we acknowledge the existence of millions of Islamic Jihadists within the group of a billion or more Muslims who are peace loving, patriotic, positive contributing members of the world and the nations in which they abide?  We have a right of protection both nationally and individually against those who would do us harm.  To accept all or to deny all is not an intelligent answer, nor is it logical.  Once again I reference Senator Rubio.  It is a fact that there are multitudes of patriotic American Muslims, there are Muslim countries that oppose, both actively and passively, the Jihadist movement.  To paint all Muslims with any singular brush will and can only have a negative effect in the annals of history.


I was raised on a cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon and drawing on that country boy experience I can only think about how we used the tools of a good cutting horse and our ability to use a rope in order to cull our herds.  In similar parables, a surgeon does not exterminate the whole body to remove a tumor, nor does a dentist pull out all of the teeth because of a cavity.  Common sense says that we need an effective method of determining what and who needs to be extracted from our countries population, and denying the problem and the source is one of the propagating factors of the expansion of Islamic Jihadism.  We need to understand that the hatred of our culture and our people is not due to any action of our people, but it stems from the basic culture and indoctrination of that infected belief system with in the larger religion of Islam.  Our politically correct methods of “niceeenesssss” has not and will not change centuries of indoctrination.  We need to operate within the realm of truthful reality and not that of fantasy.  The Muslim population knows the difference and its high time both they and we work together to put this part of human history  as people who have overcome prejudicial hatred.
