Do you know what is ridiculous? The fact that we are more concerned about being politically correct then we are about being safe. I for one, as an American citizen, have just about had enough of our lackadaisical attitude regarding aviation safety.

Does anyone remember this photo?

I do, it was when Muslim terrorists killed 2,977 of my fellow citizens.  The sad part is that we aren’t any safer that we were on September 10th 2001.

Yesterday, a couple of Yemeni men were detained for what can only be considered to be a dry-run for a terrorist attack.  The FBI is clearly playing this down as just a couple of whack-jobs because they really don’t want people to ask how their bags not only got onto a plane, but flew on a plane they weren’t even on.

What is it going to take to make our government realize that we are only a couple flights away from another repeat of 9/11? I’m not sure, but I’ll tell you that we could make air travel safe by simply adopting similar security policies to El Al, the worlds safest airline.

I say we turn these guys inside out when they get to the airport. I say we search them from head to toe and examine every last article of clothing in their bags. Go ahead an leave the 90 year old grandmother alone and focus on the real problem. You know who I’m talking about.

Some people drunk-dial, others drunk-text, I however, apparently like to drunk-domain.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with the drunk-domain, it’s registering domain names while under the influence.  Apparently a couple weeks ago, I registered the domain name ballsackninja.com for no apparent reason.  I didn’t even remember doing so until I logged in to my registrar last week and saw the domain name sitting there.  Of course, my office crew Zack and Dan thought it was catchy so I made a character around the name.

I’d like to introduce you to Ballsack Ninja, fighting crime the only way he knows how, with balls.

It was my birthday yesterday and I’m so thankful to have such a beautiful and wonderful family to share my special day with. It was also a monumental day for men and women around the country who don’t have the same rights as I do.

It’s no secret that I’m a pretty conservative fellow, but I’ve never agreed with the “protect marriage” group. Some say it’s a political issue, others say it’s a religious issue, I just say it’s an issue of right or wrong. I’m going to dive in to the religious issue in a minute, but I want you to read this quote from Facebook that my friend Greg posted about Prop 8.

I don’t understand why Republicans are for prop 8. How can you argue that the government should but out of your life and at the same time advocate it butting into someone else’s? Putting aside how ever you might feel about gay marriage isn’t this really an issue of government intrusiveness? Shouldn’t any real Republican with consistent internal logic be vehemently against prop 8 on the larger principle?

I couldn’t have said it better myself. It’s quite contradictory to the fundamental belief of the party, I agree, but I think there are larger religious issues that are the real driving force behind Prop 8.

As a practicing Christian, I understand why some in the religious community don’t agree with it, but I want to know where does all the hate come from? God doesn’t judge so what gives me the right to? He showers us with an abundance of love, yet I’m supposed to be angry with you for loving someone with all your heart?

I have many Gay friends who are some of the most amazing people I know. I laugh at people who use the argument about kids and needing a mother and father, blah, blah, blah. It’s total bullshit. I know couples who have children that absolutely in no way shape or form should be parents. In fact, I know Gay couples that would be better parents than some of of my friends that already have kids. You can show me the studies about child development with heterosexual parents and I will ask you to show me the studies on how unconditional love affects a child. Children need love and if you provide them with a solid foundation to grow based on unconditional love, it doesn’t matter what gender your parents are.

I’m sure this fight isn’t done for the Gay community. I hope that one day, my friends that are with same-sex partners will be able to get married and have the same rights I do. I know I’m lucky to have such a beautiful family, but being lucky to have the opportunity to get married just seems wrong.
