What has happened to the Viking blood of Scandinavia? Is Denmark the only Scandinavian country that remembers their Viking heritage? Do the other Scandinavian countries feel ashamed of their Viking blood? Are they afraid that by today’s standards the Vikings of old would be considered terrorists and they do not want to be linked to anything or anyone that might be considered terrorists?
Because of the cartoon’s that were published by the Jyllands-Posten daily on September 30, 2005 that showed the prophet Muhammad the Muslim world exploded into violence. Supposedly it is forbidden to have any kind “graven” image of the prophet.
When Norway and Sweden were groveling in appeasement to the imam’s Denmark’s Prime Minister when he was approached by imam’s in Denmark said that their was “nothing to discuss” obviously his Viking heritage was pushing its way to the surface. He not only showed his fellow Danes but the rest of the world that the Danish people are still as tough as their Viking ancestors. Norway and Sweden seem to have forgotten their heritage which is a shame.
This short essay came about after reading an article at the website of Stand Point Magazine written by Bruce Bawer.

Bumper Stickers That Annoy
I dislike bumper stickers that say the following:
"My poodle is smarter than your honor student!"
Since when is it proper to say that a child is dumber than a dog? While dogs can be very intelligent, you should not and cannot put
them at or above the same level as a child.
For me it is insulting! Any bumper sticker that insults our children in that manner are in my semi-humble opinion very annoying and insulting!

Texas Man Cleared of Shooting Suspected Burglars Next Door
Texas Man Cleared of Shooting Suspected Burglars Next Door
When I originally heard of this case I felt that the man had every right to do what he did. I have happy to hear that the Grand Jury in the case agreed with the man and his lawyer!
What's interesting is I don't remember the news on TV and on the radio ever mentioning the fact that the men he shot and killed were illegal immigrants from Columbia. While I understand that not all illegal immigrants come to the USA to commit crimes there is still a large majority that do.
It is still my very strong belief that illegal immigrants have committed a crime by crossing our boarder without the proper paper work to do so.
If they didn't come into this country through one of the border crossings with Mexico (or Canada) they have broke the law hence the
"illegal" part of illegal immigrants.
I also believe that our government needs to come up with a program that will allow anyone that wants to, to come and work in our country on a fairly quickly basis. It shouldn't take more than a couple of weeks to run background checks on applicants that want to come work in our country. If it only takes a few days for background checks to be done by US companies, there is no reason why it should take very long for the Federal government to do so with the much more resources they have.
