Homie Terror

Far too many times we are inundated with the media talking about how we, as a country, are resolute in our approach with terrorism “We don’t negotiate with terrorists.”  The facts are more along the lines that the United States of America is one of the worst terrorist states in existence.  We started a “War on Terror” thanks to a profoundly inept evangelical dimwit of a president and it continues with random drone strikes in many different locales around the planet.  These strikes are considered ‘surgical’ to take out the bad guys.  The facts are that there are many innocent persons who are also dispatched in the effort to remove just one ‘terrorist’.  This is fueling the terrorist furor.    The family members of the “collateral losses” are pretty eager to join in the anti-western jihad.  That is what started and feeds the Islamic State, the Taliban, Boko Haram, and many other Islam based groups.  There are plenty of Christian terrorists go around as well.  They have been killing more than foreign terrorists.

It is a given the fundamentalist Islam is at the core of the terrorist edict for the Middle East, parts of Africa and Indonesia.  If you look closely at the United States the homegrown terrorists (media fails to adequately label them) is the greatest taker of lives here.  These “Homies” are primarily mentally unstable, Christian fundamentalist, white males with a strong authoritarian perspective.  I cannot help but have confidence that many of the politically conservative factions of this country are holding identical paradigms.  These are persons who are heavily invested in their “Second Amendment Rights”.  They are very aware that terrorism works and apply it regularly.  This is easily identified as ‘Open Carry’.  I challenge anyone who has any common sense to identify any degree of comfort by observing a person walking down the street with an assault rifle.  That is the most blatant form of Homie Terror. 

If you also look at what people have in their front yards, on their vehicles, and they openly disclose on Facebook and other social media they want to make it clear that they have the tools to inflict death or suffering and they are looking for an excuse to employ them to get their political wants met.  These terrorists are given many an avenue to broadcast there message of terror under the freedom of speech provision.  Unfortunately with the current political atmosphere and a known racist, xenophobe, narcissist running as the Republican nominee for president many of these terrorists feels additional freedoms to push the into the racially motivated extremes, indicating what they plan to do when he becomes president.  This is very unnerving and is painfully familiar to the development of Nazi Germany.  There are currently neo-Nazi factions who fully support this presidential nominee and there were hints of this throughout the GOP Convention.

The Christian Taliban are alive and well in the U.S. They hate to be called that but it is true that this faction of Christianity strongly supports a version of Christian Sharia.  For these Homie Terrorists denial and forgiveness are all the Christian way of life.

These terrorists are opportunists and thrive on the fear, mistrust, and turmoil that are presented by mentally deranged and socially malicious presidential nominee.  If you think that terrorism only happens in other countries and we Americans are safe, you should think again.   They are thick in many states. 

Terrorism is running rampant here and we have become comfortable with it because it works.  We as a country have become so enamored with the entertainment that is provided by terrorists that is has become a reality TV show on the nightly news.  Whenever a police officer or other authority figure abuses their position leading to injury or death it needs to be called what it is: Domestic Terrorism by Homie Terrorists. 

Private Idaho

     Growing up in Idaho has been quite an unpleasant experience.  There is an old B52 song called “Private Idaho” meaning this place is a private hell.  Idaho can be a living hell for anyone who does not ascribe to the hardcore conservative Christian lunatic perspective.  To give a better interpretation of how extreme the close-minded Idahoans are; I was banned from a Facebook page for publicly displaying pictures of local trucks with confederate flags and labeling them as racist, bigots.  It appears that when you call out the bigotry and hate you are quickly silenced.  If they cannot silence you, they work the back avenues to intimidate your position at work, society, and with peers using threats you could lose your job, or friends will flee to avoid the intimidation.

 These are the same “Idahoans” who are strong Christian/Mormon/Baptist/Catholic….etc. who will hide behind the forgiveness factor of their religion and continue doing the same hateful things.  I want to make it clear not all ‘Idahoans’ are religious nut-bag, bigoted, hate-filled, cowards.  Unfortunately those people are the ones who feel that they are righteous in their championing the cause of hate whilst hiding behind their religious doctrine.  Something interesting noted growing up in Twin Falls, there are more bars than schools, more churches than bars and more hypocrites than humanists.

Creep Factor: 9000

I ended up working for the schools or working in the schools as a professional it becomes painfully obvious that the indoctrination begins at an early stage and is pushed onto the student for the duration of their educational experience.  The high school graduation rate of Idaho is 77.3%  we are ranked 41^st of 50.  In a 2015 report only 17% of student from southern Idaho are ready for college.  Idaho has established a goal of 60% but has not even made any discernible effort to change the outcome for any of the students.  It becomes very evident early on that Idaho desires to keep its students ill-informed and under-educated.  Thus keeping two lines moving in two directions:  One is from pre-school to prison and from graduation to garbage collector.  Idaho is ranked 13th for prison population per person spending in state.  Idaho has spent more money building prisons than has been applied to secondary education.  Freakishly real: Pre-school to prison is alive and well here.

If the system can keep them dumb and following in their parent’s footsteps then they are likely to stay ignorant of humanity and close-minded to the rest of civilization.  It was a huge culture shock to me when I went away to obtain my bachelor’s degree.  I was mixing with a group of people that I had much more commonality with than my hometown peers.  I met my first atheist (other than myself) and became close friends with people who were not of the same race as me.  This was devastating to my peers in my hometown.  They clearly stated that I should not be mixing my time with “the sub humans”.  This raw bigotry was right in my face.  They used biblical statements to support their position that races should not mix and that I would have more support if I stood with my own ‘type’.  The white bigots are strong in Idaho.  They feel safe here:

I have also noted that when a group of Mormon ‘young adults’ prepare for their missions that they go to a preparation camp prior to their departure.  Many of the Catholics will have their graduates blessed in a ceremony before departing for college.  All designed to reinforce the social safety net that these individuals can hide behind if they find themselves away from home, beliefs, and morals are being challenged.  It does not take much to become elevated in stature in a church or social club, let alone have any education that may benefit the circumstances.  The lesser educated you are the more preferred you are in religious events.  Even the churches admit that reason is faiths greatest enemy:

This is even more clearly established by the faith healers killing their own children in northern Idaho.  The fully indoctrinated representatives ->(Lee Heider ex.) of this state continue to do nothing to save children at the risk.  They fear the religious/financial backlash that will befall them if they do.  That may be why in this state you can now carry a concealed weapon (gun) without training or permit.  It is becoming the wild wild west.  This state is thick with ammosexuals.  Even mentioning 'gun sense' will get a strong reaction from the ammosexual  as though their children were being murdered... No just limiting your access to guns.  They don't care about kids dying from preventable diseases - Just think of the guns!

I refuse to be ignorant and follow the same path that my hometown peers are currently taking.  They are the reason and rationale why Idaho is my personal hell.  What makes it even worse is the fact that the state is governed by these right wing jut-jobs and they are fervent Trump supporters.  I fully admit that I am liberal in my social perspective, have no religious beliefs, will call a racist what they are to their faces at profound risk to my social life. 

If I was living in the Middle East I would have my head cleaved off.  Unfortunately many my home town are members of the Christian Taliban would likely be cheering them on in the beheading process.
