I Never Had A Muslim...
67
I never had a Muslim,
With whom to disagree.
I’ve never had a Muslim,
To do any harm to me.
I never had a Muslim,
To run me off the road,
Curse and strike me,
Or any other episode.
I never had a Muslim,
To accuse me of a crime.
Or put me in a dank dark cell,
Until the end of time.
I never had a Muslim,
To hit me with a car.
Tell lies about me,
Or send me off to war.
I never had a Muslim,
To tell me another line.
I never had a Muslim,
To steal what is rightfully mine.
I never had a Muslim,
To choke me at my school,
I never had a Muslim,
To make me out to be a fool.
I never had a Muslim,
Threaten to put me underground,
Just because my car,
Happened to be broken down.
No! I never had a Muslim teacher,
To choke me at my school,
And I don’t know any Muslims,
Who break the Golden Rule.
But I’ve seen many Christians,
Turn the other way,
When they were to turn the other cheek,
Get on their knees and pray.
I’ve seen so many Christians,
With their own jihad,
Who turn away from humanity,
And turn away from God.
~Micky Dee~
Let's promote the Golden Rule whether Christian, Hindu, Muslim...
The Golden Rule
Islam: "None of you [truly] believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself." Number 13 of Imam "Al-Nawawi's Forty Hadiths .
Hinduism: This is the sum of duty: do not do to others what would cause pain if done to you. Mahabharata 5:1517
Judaism: "...thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
Ancient Egyptian: "Do for one who may do for you, that you may cause him thus to do. " The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant, 109 - 110 Translated by R.B. Parkinson. The original dates to 1970 to 1640 BCE and may be the earliest version of the Epic of Reciprocity ever written.
Roman Pagan Religion: "The law imprinted on the hearts of all men is to love the members of society as themselves ."
Christianity: "Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12, King James Version.
When any religion leavers the Golden Rule or abandons the spirit of the message, that religion loses me.
Pick one. It will not matter.
I live in the USA. I was raised Christian. I have been mistreated my by fellow man here. I've experienced the abandonment from Christianity.
I'm pretty sure I can easily be abandoned by folks of all religions.
From the actions of all parties involved,
I've decided to be
non-attached.
When any religion
fails to follow the universal law
of the Golden Rule -
it's just another cult.
I have no trouble trusting God.
But God knows
I'm having a lot of trouble
trusting people in America
and all over the world.
Whenever any religion drops the Golden Rule, they drop me.
God bless you all.
~Micky~
Blessed are the poor in Spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
A good spiritual person who can be as good as any, can come from ALL religions.
God's Golden Rule is written in every one.
If Christians refuse to follow THEIR LAW as given by Christ to be the law,
it's a cult.
If Jews refuse to follow THEIR LAW of the Golden Rule - their Judaism is a cult.
If Muslims refuse to follow THEIR LAW as given by Christ to be the law,
it's a cult.
No exclusions.
Atheists? Without obeying the LAW of "doing for and to others as you would have done to you" -you're just another aimless mob.
Above is just one of the deadlier symbols and idols on our small planet.
But using wealth against our people as is happening today is perhaps the greatest sin.
If the Golden Rule is the greatest law as Jesus said, then using money and resources against our people is the worst sin a man can do.
Resources and money gained from "hostile takeovers", polluting, murder, slavery sweatshops, etc., etc., etc., etc., is French Kissing Satan square on the mouth and elsewhere.
The resources on our Earth were meant ALL the brothers and sisters of our Earth.
The resources on Earth are not meant for the few to exploit and use against the people of the world.
We need to focus on this GOAT'S HEAD right here.
Vote for a lawyer? We'll get the same old stuff we always get: BIG BUSINESS, ploution, endless war, and endless slavery.

God bless you Fay! Perhaps I haven't met enough Muslims, but everything above and a thousand times more have been done to me - supposedly by people of my faith. The Muslims I have met are wonderful. I love our dear Freya here on the hubs. I love pintails! I love Prasetio my nephew! Wonderful people! God bless them!
Hi Micky - Until I see convincing evidence of the supernatural, I will not subscribe to any religion. Nevertheless, I will try to harm no-one on my journey through life. You may believe that this is a golden rule written by a god. I may consider it 'mere' pragmatism. The only thing that is lacking from your hub is healthy respect for rationalists. After all, there may be no god. And we still would have to get along on this small planet.
This is a very beautiful Hub Micky. There is so much truth in it. All of the major religions can be boiled down to "Love they neighbor as thyself". Very few practioners of most religions do so. If all obeyed this basic maxim, this would be a wonderful world. I have found that devout Christians are the ones so intent on finding a Jihad amongst Muslims where no evidence exists. There are radicalized Muslims but we should not paint a broad brush. Thank you very much Micky for this wonderful Hub. I've bookmarked it.
Paraglider- you are my brother whether you believe in God or not. If you believe in the principal and participate in the Golden Rule - YOU ARE A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST! And that's a real good thing. The law of Jesus is not that we believe He rose from the dead but we treat each other as we want to be treated. God bless you Paraglider!
Amen and amen HSchneider! I have been persecuted by Christians over and over. I follow Christ. That blessed Rule is the cornerstone of every religion or that religion is false. God bless you!
I've always believed in the words written of Christ:
Matthew 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. [44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
To love in the reflection of my enemy that I may understand him,therefor no longer my enemy but my own mirror.;)
Yes sir Mentalist acer! Very beautifully put! Thank you dear brother man!
It is very easy to hate a faceless enemy. Why we continue to dabble in the lives of those in the Middle East is obviously they just 'happen' to have the oil we need and I suppose our military generals have to justify their jobs. To hate simply for a religion, color of skin, different lifestyle and I suppose for any number of senseless reasons, is a sin in itself. Great hub!
Micky, there are exceptions. Some people want to be treated badly. It is not right to humour their desires by abusing them. It's better to try to to bolster their self-respect to the point that they want to be treated with respect, even if the lesson is painful. There is no simple one-size-fits-all formula.
And I'm not a follower of Christ. I'm a rationalist. To insist otherwise is to disobey your own 'golden rule', by not extending to me the same right to self-determination that you award yourself.
Which thing having been said, I'd still love to take you on a cycling tour of the Scottish Highlands!
Thank you Micky, for a very Informative hub and awesome poem. Thank you for sharing. Godspeed. creativeone5t0
God bless you BobbiRant! I agree with you completely! Thank you dear!
Yo Paraglider:"Some people want to be treated badly." - don't get that one - I'll take you word for it - "It is not right to humour their desires by abusing them." I understand completewly.
As for as defining you or anyone else - I have no inclination to do so- especially through this faceless, cold medium here. I have no idea of what and who anybody on Earth is. But if a person is doing unto others as he would have done to him, or if a person wants his brothers and sisters lifted up, or if a person loves others as themselves, or if you have true compassion for humanity - whether you like it, want it, hate, despise it, me, God the heavens - it does not matter. In my eyes you are fulfilling the law of the Golden Rule. My eyes are not God's eyes. So take it as a compliment or don't. But if a man will not want for others to do well - I have no use for that man. That is the gospel according to Micky Dee. I will try to help anyone and especially to see the law that makes the best sense. There is no law to replace the Golden Rule and I have Atheist friends who uphold that law because it is man's nature to reach out and love and show compassion and without these things life has little purpose but survival.
Thank you dear Creativeone! God bless you Faye!
Great Hub Mic - it confirms my theory that God gives all of us the rules we need. The responsibility to follow them then lies squarely on our shoulders. Peace Bro!
God bless you Hmrjmr1! Thank you Veteran brother man! And brother, I try to always capitalize that Vet or that Veteran because what we did was not in vain. We did the right things for the right reasons- perhaps for the wrong select group of people - and we are yet to iron all that out. God bless you Vet!
I don't think you left any religion, belief or cult out with this one, Micky. Interesting how it all boils down to just one maxim - the Golden Rule.
God bless you drbj. And I don't toss my "bless yous" out on the water. I do want you to prosper, be well, and even giddy! God bless you dear!
Could not agree more brother, arguing about it all just makes me tired so I refuse to do it. Hope you're well Micky Dee. Peace!! Tom and Justin
God bless you brother Tom! Say hey to that Justin!
Micky, I do think you covered every religion so many religions have the same message that do boil down to the Golden rule. I have never had any experience with a Muslim other than seeing them in a store, and yet I have a certain amount of fear of them because of what I've seen them due to their women in some Arab countries. I have had some supernatural type experiences that convinced me Christianity is the path I need to follow but I think that path tells me to love my brothers and sisters no matter what religion they are or what color they are. Why would anyone want what I have if I don't show the joy, peace and love that I received from the Lord?
Hi Pamela. I've only known a few in passing in real life and I've enjoyed their company very much.
Saturday, I was riding my bicycle and a man pulled over and got out and shouted at me and NEVER told me what my offense was. I would write you a book about what AMERICANS have done to me - but - who cares? We're the most imprisoned nation on Earth. But that's just normal?
Not one Muslim has almost killed me on his way to worship.
When I die - a Muslim will not have killed me but I am laying bets that an American will do it.
I certainly appreciate your faith in God. God bless you.
I am a Vietnam Veteran. My story is one that you will never comprehend. And there are many that I will not.
My purpose here on Earth is not to be joyous. I am occasionally joyous. Mine is to be at peace. But mine is also to adhere with my soul - the truth. Because I have been taken down a more confusing path, dangerous path continually, and a really long path at that.
When people look at this man with joy beaming from him - they want to extinguish that beam. I am the guy that parents will elbow their kids and say, "If you don't behave, you will end up like that guy." -or something similar. Maybe a good laugh. But no matter what polish you want to apply to this termite infested piece of pine - I ain't going to American Idol.
But my duty and the duty of every Christian is to love your neighbor as yourself.
Now- if Muslims don't live up to this- they are failing.
But it is not better for a Christian to fail at this Golden Rule more than it is for a Muslim to fail at it.
Now if you'd like, I'll put together a brief list of failures of Christians to hold that Golden Rule. You get the Muslim side of that if you'd like. But if this is a contest- I know I could be writing until my very human death.
Just the atrocities I've witnessed Christians do myself could bore some folks to death. So it is not better for one than any other. Thank you ma'am.
Fudge. I thought I'd just roll through this one.
Here we go:
I NEVER had a Muslim pull a gun on me because I was riding a bicycle on the road in every legal sense!
I NEVER had a Muslim to pull in front of me and SLAM ON BRAKES trying to kill me. But this happens so much I'm surprised it isn't an Olympic Sport. I've seen this so much it is murder!
I NEVER had a Muslim to threaten to murder me for riding a bicycle- it happened once in Spartanburg, SC. It happened in Chimney Rock with Kent Clary. We called the police and THEY NEVER SHOWED - it happened on River Road in Asheville, NC toward Marshall. It happened to Tod Andrews last year on the Blue Ridge Parkway. I can write a book and I am not concerned one bit with a Muslim harming me one iota. There is not enough time or fingers to write all my bicycle vs car problems. But not one Muslim has run a traffic light as Larry Dean Price did in Spartanburg, SC. No Muslim ever hit me with a truck and lied about it.
No Muslim has ever robbed me - I could write a book on this one. We just don't have time. I've been robbed by Americans in maybe every sense of the word "robbed".
Sorry for the ramble Pamela. I'd like to get my facts out there. God bless you. Thank you for commenting.
I believe each religion has their God. I do believe each religion teach their followers doing a good things. I am Muslim and I want to live in peace. Just silly Muslim who hurt others by doing some terrors. My Prophet (Muhammad) also teach me to live in peace with other religion. He said every religion has their own way to pray and other things related with spirituality and how to connect with their God. So I am proud to be a Muslim and I believe my hubbers friends also proud to be a Christians, Hinduism, or Chatolic as well. Why we don't live happily with always support and respect with others.
For example, when the tsunami hit Japan a week ago. I thought every religions care and give attention to this incident. All religion gave their prayer to Japanese people.
Thank you very much,
Your nephew, prasetio
Thank you all. Just another little thought: I have never known a Muslim to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan. And yes - I do know some members. I failed to meet the standards of their recruitment. They wanted to pray after burning crosses and such. I wanted to pray before and skip that burning stuff.
If anyone would like- I will so gladly introduce you to some of the KKK members. Now some may pray but others may not. One of the guys I met has a "bill of sale" for a slave that he is really proud of. It's one of the family heirlooms. Maybe we can take a bus and make it a real special tour! I could give you one list of towns that "eliminated" their black population one way or another.
Sorry. I just have too much information.
Thank you dear Prasetio. You truly live by that Golden Rule. I love you dear nephew!
I also want to say, "I am proud has an uncle like you". Wherever we live and stay, if we believe God and try to live in Gods way, we will safe...amen. No matter what your religion, only do something good. My uncle, I hope you always healthy...amen. God bless you. Cheers....
Wow, this is so perfect Micky... We all should respect eachother for humanity and not for the sake of religion..No religion promotes hatred,enemity and bloodshed and in case if it does, then I don't think its a 'religion' at all... A lesson well taught through your words...
May God help us all to live in peace...
Have a good day!
I am so proud to know you Prasetio! Thank you loving your fellow man. Thank you for the kindness that you show everyone. And- you are a wonderful teacher.
Oh dear Cracknutcase! Thank you for getting this Golden Rule. God bless you dear heart!
This is the peace that God has for us. God bless you Cracknutcase! God bless your family.
Up and beautiful and all that sort of thing Mick. No arguments here. Love and peace brother. I don't much care for preacher's lice though.
Long live Shitinski!
Thank you very much for having written this wonderful hub. I believe that all religions teach their follower good values
I'm a muslim and I want all people from any religions to be my friends. Jihad for me is my struggle in earning income in halal way (in lines with islamic values) so that my daughter can go to school and there's available food, and proper living for my family. I don't believe in Jihad which is used for threatening, hurting, or killing others. As what I've been taught that Islam which runs in my blood must bring peace for all mankind (Rahmatan lil alamin).
Awesome and Rate up for your hub Micky.
God bless you agusfanani! God bless your wonderful daughter! This is very heart lifting. Thank you dear agusfanani! God bless your family.
This hub is doomed! It doesn't pit one side against another, whats with that? Who will I fight? How will I recognize the enemy? There has to be an enemy! What do I do if there isn't an enemy? Who will I blame? What do I do with my anger? There has to be anger! It fuels the fire that keeps us warm! Wait a minute! It isn't cold!
By far, the best hub you've written. Chesterton wrote, "It isn't that Christianity has been tried and found wanting, it's been found wanting and left untried" I suspect it is true of every creed that would make hate subsevient to love!
"It isn't that Christianity has been tried and found wanting, it's been found wanting and left untried" -'I suspect it is true of every creed that would make hate subservient to love!' Amen brother arb!
Bravo Bravo Bravo my dear lovely Micky, I want to give you a standing ovation, I alone cannot fix this problem we all need to fix this problem. I have experienced the same as you, I feel the same as you, I fell throw alices looking glass, now I will never find my way home. I never had a muslum be bad to me, but I have had many people of all religions treat me bad...Love you, Darski rate up upupup upupupup
God bless you dear Darski! I love you dear one!
Well done Micky Dee.
And I have to say as a woman I have never had a Muslim taunt me on the streets. It's American men who always thought they had the right to yell out comments when we as beautiful young happy women would walk by. And when we ignored them - it's the American men who would get nasty and rude. Here in Brooklyn, NYC - when a woman walks through the Muslim communities she knows she will not be ogled, no one trying to pick her up, no cat-calls, no nasty remarks (under the guise of - 'I was just giving the b%*#h a compliment). We feel safer in the Muslim communities any time day or night. I cannot say this about any other community.
Rated up.

Micky I couldn't agree more with you, you hit the nail right on the head, we always have to pick on another culture because they are different, they have something we want etc, etc, etc. We are all suppose to be brothers and sisters in this world. I'm SICK of the hate, the killing and wars. I'm just tired anymore brother man and I leave it all in the hands of the Lord.
God Bless
May God and goodness always bless you and keep you. \Great article and a great reminder about our humanity.
God bless you BKCreative! Thank you for the truth.
Vietnam Veteran I am sick to death of this political farce, this lie above lies that the GOP, Grand Oil Party, Greatest Oppressive Pig-sty, Greedy Old Pigs, etc. I am sick to death of the lie that is that republican party and there should be no political party of the rich on the face of God's Earth. They kill our children for resources. The republican party is a grist mill of lies grinding up the entire Earth. There is no conserving with ANY republican. There is no compassion for anybody from this terrible organized crime syndicate.
How's that Vietnam Veteran? God bless you Vietnam Veteran! WHAT WE DID IS NOT IN VAIN! But this GOP puts bumper stickers on their car and they PUT US IN PRISON AND ON THE STREETS! Write me down in the Lamb's book of life as having NO LOYALTY TO THESE FREAKS EVER! Amen Vietnam Veteran! God bless our troops over the world. I just hope these new troops and the old troops can someday join to rid lour great nation of the slavery and anchor of fascism around our necks. Yes sir Vietnam Vet! I am certainly with you and I will never be with those that suffocate freedom! God bless you brother Vet! God bless you sir! I will never bow down to these lawyers from hell. God bless you dear Vietnam Veteran. We are the Semper Fi! We truly stand for America and its people. And this GOP, the republican party is a murdering organization flatly simply put. They will sweatshop the world to death! They will not work. They tell all the wold to work for their money! Glory to God! I will not get on my knees to this Satan! These "entitled monsters" have the world in hell! Make no mistake America and the world- this evil machine should be stopped. The GOP has NOTHING to do with God or Jesus. How's that my brother? Take my life, take it all. I will not bow down to this Mammon! God bless you Vet!
Thank you sligobay my brother. We are on the same page! Glory to God!
I echo every word Prasetio said. We all are one people. We can live in peace, love each other, or choose to be divided by religion. Like so many have said above, their God is of The Muslim faith, The Hinduism faith, The Jewish faith, etc., In reality it is one God, The Creator. The most important aspect to living our lives is to have love for all people. When we do that, there will be no wars, no one will ever run you off from the road, preachers will not preach hate against anyone who is different. We will embrace all beliefs knowing we all want the same. Thank you Micky, your words make me think and that's a good thing.
God Bless You and keep you safe.
Mickey, another profound hub for reflection. As I read, I began to remember all the harms done to me by those professing to be "Christian". I have known some who were that lived the tenants of the faith. They were beautiful people. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you Always. you are so right. God bless you dear. I'm going to ramble now. I'm just thinking. God bless you Ruby.
There is a path that we should be on as a people of Earth. To pretend that Earth and America is just a business is done. There's a new awakening. Life is not a business. Life is food, shelter, clothing, charity.
Life is helping the Japanese right now recover. Our life is helping the next catastrophe. Life is growing food, building shelter, making clothes.
these walls that come between us need to come down. People cannot just feed military machines against our people. Power should keep the peace. Power should promote the welfare of all people.
But people of the world- we are becoming gated communities. And plenty of people, right now, need gated communities. Some folks live in safe communities with beautiful, pristine sidewalks that will remain so because most of the world walks in the muddy ruts.
There is a way to provide for everyone BUT with so much more dignity.
Our legal system in America is atrocious. People of the world - America's judicial system is as crooked as the politics. Go figure.
But to stay on the course we are on is folly.
We, in America, are going to insist on more justice and less lawyers. Having to pay money for a "representation" for a chance at the lottery of justice is archaic and was old before it was new.
America is the most imprisoned nation on Earth. Our plan is not working. I don't need to know any other plan. I need not be told that this is the best that the world can offer. If it is the best- the world is in terrible, terrible trouble.
America may still be the land of opportunity. It sure takes a bunch of money, a bunch of friends, and a bunch of luck for that opportunity. Most of us are working hard to make ends meet.
It seems like America is divided into halves that hate each other. One half seems to hate everyone of any difference. One half seems completely tolerant. There are many good people.
We need to come together at the focal point of the c o-existence and Golden Rule.
Let's stop the noise.
The bombs are really loud and maiming and killing and imprisoning. -This arming of everyone on the globe is done. We are top-heavy with ARMS.
Thousands of years of man, woman, prophets, God - and the best our religious world can come up with is more guns, better guns. better killing, better procedures to save lives.
Save lives?
Save lives.
Save lives!
SAVE LIVES!
Life is not war.
Slavery is war.
God bless you A.A. Zavala. We have a lot to correct right here.
Jesus told Christians to pray: "Our Father that is in heaven, hallowed be Your name, You will be done, and Your kingdom come, here on Your Earth, as it is in Your heaven..."
That is a direction given to Christians. It is highly agreed upon that He said it.
He meant it.
Regardless on ANY other scripture of the Bible and whoever wants to point us in ANY other direction - this is an order from Jesus and we are praying that Earth will resemble heaven - God's heaven is the model we must replicate. It cannot be done with business as usual. Christians will have to band together will ALL faiths. Muslims will have to band with others. Our enemy is too big for either.
Let's not condone violence toward anyone.
very good hub. dont judge a race, or gender etc..etc as a whole for one persons doing.
Oh My Mickey. That was deeper than deep, thats a good message to the whole wide world. GOD Bless you Mickey.
I enjoyed this one Mickey. Let us love all of our brothers and sisters just as GOD does, and leave the judging to GOD. Wonderful wonderful hub!
Oh, Micky, I audibly gasped. So perfectly written. Your message loud and clear. Now, I know the truth, you are my brother. Sometimes, I'm ashamed to admit that although baptized Catholic and taught in parochial schools, I cannot make myself go into a church. I believe completely, without reservation, in God. I talk to him regularly. But, personally, organized religion is a sin. I remember the hypocracy in the confessional, in the priests that said Mass and gave out communion slack-jawed drunk, I remember the teacher's lies about God turning bad children into butterflies that flew out the window to maintain control in an over-crowded classroom. And, I will never get beyond the crimes against the innocent children, put in front of them with blind trust by the parents, who wouldn't even allow one negative word against God's mediators, the priests.
God save me from the Christians.
I do apologize to anyone that sincerely calls themselves Christian. My intent is not to insult or say that all "Christians" operate in the way I became accustomed to. To them, I do apologize in all sincerity.
Micky, I love you, man.
All I can say is thanks for getting me thinking again, your words are inspiration.
Muhammed Ali also said 'No Vietcong ever called me N....r'
I go along with Paraglider on the god issue. jandee
Well written and thought out Mickey. You have outlined a model that that we would all do well to live by. Thanks for sharing.
I do so love you people! Thank you!!!

jandee - I have Atheist friends. They uphold that Golden Rule. They have no intention of hurting, stealing or being a menace to society. I say the same to you or anyone- the greatest law you will find is the Golden Rule. And it is that grass roots unifying focal point for us all to unite.
And thank you mquee. Thank you all!
Wonderful poem, Micky and those quotes from so many diferent religions .. all havung their version of the Golden Role, was very thought--provoking,
An excelent hub. Thank you. Loved the video too.
Aw Dim! You know how I love you dear! God bless you dear one!
Slam it home brother! Got nothing to add to what you said, just wanted ya to know I stopped by. Peace bro - Semper Fi.
Mic' what can I add to what has been said, Pras and Always Exploring seem to lay out the perfect comments and feelings in their hubs, and I add you tenacity for the Golden Rule, I have faith we will live in such a place in the near future, It will be the greatest reward of all time. Peace, I love you Brotherman, Vet.!!! dust
Pleased there is an awesome button on the page as this fits the bill for it very well.
Thank you brother Dave and Semper Fi Jarhead Brother Vet!
Same to you brother Dusty Vet! I love you man! It means a lot to see your picture here! It means a lot!
Oh my Ruby 2uesday! Thank you ma'am. God bless you.
I am a hindu and have always beleived it is amongst the most tolerant relegeons ion the world sicne it does not tell us that those not Hindus are not Gods people.about God it says "viprah bahuda vadanti"God is one the learned call him by different names.
and YET the learned of our relegeon are begining to ask us to hate muslims and destroy mosques just because some muslims behave atrociuosly.If we behaved as the deviants of other relegeons do then they wouldn't be deviants -they would be the norm we follow too.
more strength to your elbow friend- may your tribe be increase. count me in as a member
neeleshkulkarni!!! Yes sir! You are my brother and I am yours! Yes sir! Thank you and God bless and keep your family, all your loved ones. You make me smile sir!
There is a lot of good information in this hub, you have done some research..I wish man would always lived by the Golden Rule...if he/she did, this world be like heaven on Earth! Thank you for caring and being a good person.. Lovely, lovely poem!
Tha nk you Fossillady. You have a truly good heart.
Great words Micky; thought provoking. Much of what the American public feels about Muslims is manufactured from above, not as a result of personal experience.
Love, respect and empathy super hub.
Micky,
What a beautiful way to wake up-can't think of a better way!!!!!!!
I shall read this [with your name] at my fathers service tomorrow, he would have loed this so deeply, lets hope he still can
god bless
and thank you so much
Micky, in your wise way, you simply reinforce what I believe. As you pointed out, it is about people and the way we treat each other. Religion does not make you a good person or bad person, it is all about how you choose to act and treat your fellow human beings.
Well done my friend.
Kimberly I am really sorry for the loss of your father. God bless you dear!
Thank you all for being peaceful and caring people. I love you all. God bless!
Wonderful Hub my dear mickey.!!!!!!!
im impressed again & will alwayz..
God bless you Noorenaz.
I'm with ya man, if the golden rule is dropped than I withdraw. This has always been my beef with religion,
I have had many people describe me to be a very religious man because of my faith and how I choose to live my life and serve my God, but I always try to express that I do not want to be associated with what this world defines as religion.
Micky I wish I had your talent to be able to articulate the message the way you do. The message is really very simple and people try to complicate it. I could go on and on here- I will just say that you are right on, I enjoy reading your hubs, and vote this one awesome and up. God bless- Rob
I found this a very enjoyable hub.I have met many Muslims and those who believe that Islam is a religion of peace like all other religions are good people.
Most religions have people who use it for their own ends as you can see throughout history.
As all your references said, treat others as you would want to be treated yourself. Anyone who does not have compassion and friendliness towards their fellow man cannot be said to be truly religious and believe in God. This is the basis of all religions.
I don't know how you find the time or the inspiration for all your hubs but keep them coming Micky.
Oh dear Hummingbird I don't know where it all comes from. Experience - sure. But I have little inclination to do anything and I'm floored with what comes out of me. I have to say it is God, truth, sincerity, I don't know. I feel like someone else is driving the car. God bless you dear.
It is a good thing you were not at the World Trade Center on 09/11/2001, or you might have accidentally been wronged by one of those do-gooder muslims. I wouldnt try and put these theories of angelic muslims to the test. Dont go off to Iran or any part of the middle-east for that matter to experience their hospitality toward Christians.
Those people who did that cannot be said to be Muslim or to believe in any God. Any more than the priests who would carry the weapons for the IRA in Ireland because the soldiers weren't allowed to stop and search priests.
I have travelled in Pakistan and the people there (Muslims) are very welcoming and friendly and would share their last crust with you.
In fact there have probably been more murders by Christian terrorists than any other religion.
I havent heard of these Christian terrorists. Are they doing suicide bombings, attacking our military, or beheading non-believers???? Tell me more. It is not to say that there are not nice muslims...there certainly are. But I would suggest you do not travel over to muslim countries and profess to be a Christian. Your life will be in jeapordy.
braudboy you are so ignorant you're silly. If you read hubs instead of spewing your hate you'd know some American terrorists. I've written a hub entitled as much. But you never do any homework. I doubt you ever worked a day in your life. I don't see how you haven't starved to death.
Read this one:"Fly this flag, and no soldier will ever fire at you."
I could give you more but what's the use? You're a lazy traitor and all you can do is excrete a blurb here and there.
You're a bigot and an average representative of your conservative party that has never conserved anything.
I'm humoring you right now. That's all. That's it. You are ignorant. This is not an insult. It's an observation.
I'm not really smart. I work hard at what I do. You are ignorant and it's YOUR fault. The Bible isn't for anyone using the term fool. I don't like it. But all your comments add up to show you're a fool. I will never approve anything else you have to say because you're mentally deficient. You're a child in grammar school and you'll never get out because you will to research for facts.
But the worst about you - is your bullying nature. I've asked to meet you wherever to settle insults from you. I've disproved anything you say because you're full of lies.
You're anti-American. Your loyalty is never to God. Your loyalty is never to Jesus. You come by and take a dump but your information is so weak and easy to prove false.
Does your mama know you're on the computer?
My loyalty is with the true God. I have no party affiliation. But your party is the "REPUBLICAN'TS". You can't help people get health-care. You can't stop lying a bout reasons to get into wars. You can't grasp Christianity at all. You can't understand the Golden Rule. Your "REPUBLICAN'TS" just can't do much but steel resources, stee3l from the workers, deprive workers of care. That's enough right there.
braudchild- go back to your den of thieves and get reinforcements. You just don't have anything at all. You are a lazy man. Read something for the American people instead of the corporations and take your head out of the rich man's behind.
I am an ex- Marine. I have seen you try to bully me. You always get spanked by a 138 pound old man.
You accused me before of "wanting a handout".
You accused me of being lazy. I suggested you and I have a working contest. I scared the hell out of you with that one- you lazy freeloader.
You've accused me of other things including being a coward.
Now braudmouth- put your sorry yellow behind to any contest with me or write a hub over at your place.
You are selfish. You are lazy. You are a coward like so many of your businessmen who have murdered all over this world you .
Now get some lawyers together.
Get the best an most evil repugnants together you can. Let's televise a showdown with Micky Dee. Seriously.
I'll bet you my life that I can expose your party of pigs at the trough to be a lie. I will prove that your big business is a lie. I will prove that your injustice system alone is TERRORISM.
You braudbutt- have led a sheltered life. You haven't got a clue about real life.
I'm not approving any comments from a traitor like yourself.
You and the republican party are TRAITORS to GOD and all that is decent.
You come her and go there and just spew lame horsepucky.
You want to trip someone up - but you're an idiot.
You're self educated!
Call me on my obedience to God.
Let's see how my obedience and my guts do up against your sissy ganging up bullying cowards.
Let's get to the truth.
But truth and guts aren't in the repugnants forte!
Tell ALL your friends I said so and bring a camera and some witnesses. You people STINK!
Just show some guts of your own. You ain't got it because you're backing that SATAN guy.
I am so sick of the stench and noise and lies of YOUR hateful party.
Good work, Micky - Keep fighting the good fight.
I have Orthodox Christian friends who travelled in Iran, Syria, and Jordan. They were met with nothing but kindness towards strangers, as is customary in this part of the world. I hope to go Iran, one day, and see the ruins of Ancient Persepolis - the country holds no fear for me.
Sufidrewamer- God bless you sir! These bigots pretending to know anything about God - reproduce too well. They will abandon God when the health-care comes up. THEY WILL ACTUALLY ASK-WHAT'S GOD GOT TO DO WITH IT? They will say it's business. When they're recruiting Christians who refuse to do their homework- then they bring God into it. Then it's "those Muslims..." The people on top of the republican party are just nasty. They bait Christians but Christians should know their Book. It's not charity and let's do the GODLY THING. It deprives any and everyone they can for profit.
The "republican'ts". To be the party of money they can't do shyt for the average citizen of planet Earth.
If a country will not take care of it's people that country NEEDS NEW DIRECTION. LOP THE TOP!
God bless you Sufidreamer!
Another comment was made by brainboy but there wasn't anything new. I did copy and paste it into a braudboy file. Thanks braudboy. You're helping the democratic party immensely.
Wait! You're the guy who writes for both sides. You're just pretending to be ignorant. You silly goose!
You know - you're the best pro-democrat spokesman I've ever seen!
Deja voodoo!
Micky Dee- it is quite cowardess to omit my comments. It is a characteristic of those who are intimidated or over matched. There is much to say here, if you are willing to openly discuss. But, instead, all you want is confirmation of your ideas. You are very insecure in your beliefs.
I had a few Muslims attack my country back on 911 and kill thousands of my countrymen. That HARMED me. It harmed me personally, spiritually, and it messed with my 12 year olds son's mind and view of the world. He saw what he saw on TV and it sewed hate into his heart. I had a Muslim sew hate into the heart of a young boy who is my only son.
I had a Muslim go nuts at a military base and kill several of my soldiers. I watched on YouTube, and still can today, as a few good Muslims cut the head off my countrymen as they held him down chanting to Allah, while he screamed in horror. My son saw that too.
Being part of the military I received a lot of videos from friends in Iraq. America has been perfecting its surveillance technologies and techniques in these "wars." Many of these video's show good Muslims sneaking off into the middle of the night with their neighbor's wife to have sex in the back of a jeep somewhere in the dark.
People are people and will fall into temptation regardless of culture and religion. To present one religion as some kind of magnanimous all peaceful, all loving, all wonderful people is short-sided.
I agree with you on turning the other cheek , but lets not overlook the sewing of hate into the hearts of the impressionable when one commits acts of evil.
The Bible also says, "Be ye angry and sin not." There is such a thing as righteous anger.
- God bless you too
- Harlan
Please write more on this topic. It will help us building relationship with all the people on this earth not on the basis of religion.
braudboy- I've explained that you offer nothing new. You offer nothing for the American people as your present "cowardice" accusation.
Meanwhile I would meet you or any of your bully boys for any contest. And- I don't care about having a level playing field. I expect you to cheat.
Harlan Colt-
There are many cases of terrorism included those against the American Native and the African American.
There was a very shoddy investigation into 911. The shoddy investigation was performed by the same people who lied to us about going into Iraq.
George Bush is at lest also guilty of terrorism by the looks of things.
Oh no- I couldn't make a charge. I wasn't there. But like here in the "land of the free" which is in fact,in actuality the land of the most imprisoned nation of this Earth - we are constantly assaulted - from within.
American lawyers are continuously chosen to govern us.
And these lawyers will never straighten out this injustice system of the United States of America with which THEY TERRORIZE AMERICANS.
I'm a member of the 911 Truth - http://www.911truth.org/
I'm not at all sold on your theory which is like most- shoved down our throats. No Harlon, I'm not sold on the investigation that was over before the crimes were.
But I think if you want more war and a world full of landmines , bombs, snipers, Blackwater Xe Services), killing as a way of life then just keep spewing your narrow blinders on view.
And thank you for your comment. I take it you will perpetuate the "status quo".
Still, I wish the best for everyone.
Christians, Catholics, Buddhists, Musims, ahtreists.
I say GOD BLESS EVERYONE OF THESE ~ GOD'S PEOPLE~
AND YOU ARE NOT TO DECIDE WHO ARE GOD'S PEOPLE.
I love my Muslim friends.
I love my Atheist friends.
And I will speak against anyone speaking of hatred to my good friends who uphold God's greatest law and that law is GOLDEN!
And I'm not so concerned with your Biblical McNuggets.
I am focused totally on GOD'S GOLDEN RULE and the prayer that Jesus said to pray:
"OUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN, HALLOWED BE YOUR NAME, YOUR KINGDOM COME, ON YOUR EARTH, AS IT IS IN YOUR HEAVEN..."
And regardless if I am alone in this world in my thoughts I will trust these words over any other trivial and almost meaningless words you will ever come up with in this bible or any book of your choice.
Every word that you will come up with Mr. Colt is short! Every other word you will ever say to me is meaningless in comparison.
Every word your Harvard lawyer will say will be a lie to me until that lawyer takes up GOD'S CROSS with JESUS CHRIST!
Until you do the same - you're just some more propaganda of hate.
Perhaps that is not what you want to represent. I suggest you back up.
I suggest that you FO0LLOW THE GOLDEN RULE AND PRAY THAT PRAYER.
Until then All I here is a Colt going off pointed at Americans, Christians, Muslims -HUMANITY!
0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Now bring an independent film crew- no editing - letg me show you my life. Real life Mr. Colt. But you ain't got the moral fortitude from what I can see. I have no idea if you've participated in real life. But you ain't fooling me.
Videos of Muslims this and that -I'll show you Mr. Harlan. But my God we'll run out of time. America is a big story.
Micky-what new are you offering? The naive and ignorant view that Muslim nations are just trying to be our friends and that the American gov't is the real enemy?? Your golden rule applies to those who agree with you, but your hatred flows heavy for the republican party and for the braudoys of this country. You give muslims the benefit of the doubt at all times, but condemn Bush and other who you disagree with, no matter what the circumstance.
This is why I never want to see you braudboy. Forty times forty- you do no research. You're a chatty Cahty doll.
You lie.
I would never take up with a Muslim in the wrong you stupid stupid man.
If you read anything I've written you should come away with the fact I am against evil whether a Muslim commits evil or a Christian and YOUR CHRISTIAN EVIL IS NOT BETTER THAN ANY OTHER EVIL.
And if you want a SWORN AFFIDAVIT SAYING I DON'T LIKE GEORGE W. BUSH, GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH, GEORGE PRESCOTT BUSH WHO HELPED FUND THE NAZIS, THE GEORGE BUSH THAT STOLE GERONIMO'S HEAD, ZAPATA'S HEAD -
I DON'T EVEN LIKE THEIR WOMEN!
i AM FOR EVERYBODY ON THIS PLANET AS GOD HAS ORDERED!
Please don't come back you brainwashed mouthpiece for business as usual and Darth Vader, Etc. Etc.
You are very visible.
You have established who your masters are.
do you stay focused on the "golden rule" as you spout out hatred toward me and anyone who disagrees with you????
You are prepared to meet me fo any contest?? Are you suggesting a debate or a duel with pistols? We are meeting right here and you refuse to debate me. YOu erase the comments you dont know how to respond to. The playing field is in your favor and you are the cheater, and yet, I am still willing to discuss the issues with you. Sir, you have been challenged and confronted. What will you do?
And yet again I've deleted more gibberish from braudboy. Just nothing in them but the same repeated messages containing nothing but insults. No facts. No half truths for me to dispute. Just more typing for me.
I was hoping for anopther challenge fromColt 45 but I guess not. I'm ready for half truths and all out lies but please - something fresh. Not the same old hate bigot separatist crapola.
Batter up!
Dear Mickey,
You judge me too fast friend. I too doubt seriously many things about 911, how it is that 3 buildings came down when only two were hit, how it is that 5 planes went down, and only 3 can be substantiated etc.
Please understand, there is an America I stand for and defend, it is not necessarily the America of Obama and/or GW and the profiteers upon the blood of the innocent.
Granted I don't know the truth about a lot of such things... but I do know... I see on Youtube... muslims radicals cutting off the heads of terrified American's.
I see muslims stoning to death a 16 year old girl because her father said so... I see Iraq hanging two young men and a young woman for homosexuality -which I too dsiagree with, but not unto putting them to death; I also see a video of an 8 year old boy having his arm broken on a cement curb via the tire of a car - because he stole an apple to curb his hunger.
That's like shoving his head under water and then breaking his arm for trying to breath. Give me a fricken break. These radical people are an ANIMALISTIC CULT DAMNED BY GOD! And if you think I just said all Muslims - then you are part of that cult!
When it comes time to picking sides and draw the line... I have to draw the line on... that's just not right.
really... that's where I am coming from.
If a Muslim wants to love me, be my neighbor and be friends etc - live and let live... I am all about that.
If not... I am ready for that too,
- God bless you friend
- Harlan
Thank you Mr. Colt.
I hear what you're saying.
But too many people will hate any Muslim and that's as asininely moronioc as loving every American.
God knows I've tried that.
Maybe there are Muslims in Free Masonry. I know there are some good old boys in a good ole town., I know a Mason owed me money for renting my house. I know the magistrate and a lawyer there in Bigotville were Free Masons. I knoew that these club members acted like I was the problem. I know that if there had not been mutual friends I wouldn't have gotten any money.
I know that I was told by Barney Fife and the Evil Andy Taylor. I know that I was told I was weaving on the road when I was stone cold sober. I know I was told by white cracker bigots that if I sold my house to a black person they would go to my business and burn it out. I know that the white cracker farmers in that area will descend on another farmers death and try to buy the farmers land. I know these farmers will then mow all the trees down to pay for their land just to become larger land owners. I know a black farmer will never buy any of that land around there soon. I know I'm damn lucky to have gotten out of that town without a jail sentence with disagreeing with a bunch of white cracker bigots.
I know that I was arrested in another town before all this and charged for having GRAINS IN A CAN OF PRINCE ALBERT TOBACCO.
I could write a book on my personal employment opportunities and the crookedness of the employment commission in at least one states.
And- none of these fr4aks were Muslims.
At first you spoke of the Muslims bringing the towers down.
When I watch some movies - I see big bosses who will have murders committed BUT they want to be kept out of the loop. George W. Bush and the Dickster Cheney, being entrenched in oil, Saddam Hussein was sitting on oil. From all the info I've read- Bush Senior baited SH to go into Kuwait. From what I've read Iraq was going to seel the oil in Euros.
I know Bush's cousin had the security for at least building seven and that building and three others came down that day in a free-fall and set THREE WORLD RECORDS in doing so. 3 world wide records.
I know that the flight path that our government says the plane that hit the Pentagon was absolutely FALSE and that two Washington, DC policemen has testified on tape to the fact.
I could write a hub on all this right here but some brainwashed America fool would make this hub last longer than eternity with denials.
The problem is WE'VE HEARD ALL THIS LYING before. Is we had a real government without the Free Masons or other good ole boy secret clubs like the KKK and the Harvard Skull and Bones criminals we would be able to sort through these fogs of lies this plastic government projects. That is America. Secret clubs and secret agendas. And the CIA will kill whoever it wants to. That's the license to kill.
I know that there is always a shoddy investigation into every high profile murder this country sees. Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone they say. Connolly never believed a word of the Warren Commission. But Connolly was a real pearl himself.
I know Sirhan Sirhan was supposed to have acted alone when he killed Bobby Kennedy. I know that idiot that killed Martin Luther King was supposed to have acted alone.
I know that when A guy attacks me with a knife and leaves the knife - and a cop shows up - no finger prints are taken from the knife.
I know if my house is robbed - no finger prints are taken.
I know that when my business is robbed - no finger prints are taken.
To me - I have no idea if this finger printing actually works or has been scientifically useful or if it's all a myth. Because when I am attacked - cops, judges, lawyers - THEY ALL GET STUPID AND NONE OF THESE FREAKS HAVE BEEN MUSLIMS.
Americans really think America works.
To me - to millions of others - THIS AMERICA DOES NOT WORK and MUSLIMS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
I foresee NOT ONE LAWYER TO EVER BE A STATESMAN OR A LEADER OF ANY COMMUNITY.
And for Christians to continuously vote for these bags of pooky when they have never run an honest courtroom in 200 years is more than folly.
Well I could go on about terrorists of the United States and God knows we've had TOO MANY AMERICAN TERRORISTS - don't get me started.
But I'm not going to blame people I don't know and I will not take the word of any damn lawyer and if a Christian has an iota of a brain cell that Christian will NEVER believe a word a lawyer says.
Alan Dershowitz would be honest about lawyering and he's one of the best. He will tell you that if Von Bulow had not had money - Von Bulow would be in jail or worse.
But American will subject other Americans PERPETUALLY to this America INjustice system that imprisons more people than any other injustice factory in this WORLD.
The biggest WORST TERRORISTS on this planet are AMERICAN LAWYERS.
A lesson in verse sure can get the point across especially when it points out some hypocrisy. Thanks Micky! WB
I am pretty sure that Obama is an American lawyer. So are both Clintons. But, I dont like lawyers either. But I dont discriminate because I dont like muslim lawyers also.
I have read the comments on this hub. Braudboy, you left a comment after mine and it is clear from what you wrote that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Hubpages is for people to write about anything they choose. It is not a place for ignorant people to kick others in the teeth for not agreeing with what they say.
It is obvious from your writing that you only visited a school long enough to learn to read and write. You need to read books, learn about history, not only American but world wide. You need to open your mind and not repeat parrot fashion what you have heard others say.
Anyone can see from your writing that you are getting very violent and it is always the uneducated who are the most easily brain washed. They do not know what to think themselves and always seem to follow those who are quick to use their fists.
Seeing you with your daughter on your lap, you don't look like that, I hope you are not. Maybe your words here are just bravado. I cannot say. You should be strong enough to accept that we are not all the same and that everyone has a right to live as they choose.
It is the destruction of someone else's way of life that is the crime.
Speaking of the Irish terrorists, there were far more bombs laid by them than any so-called Muslim terrorists. It was a regular thing as I was growing up to hear of another bomb, another time that people woke up in bed to be shot. Another time that someone opened the door to be shot in the face. Another time someone was found tied to a tree and had hot tar poured on their body and feathers strewn over them. Another time that a mother wasn't allowed to see her dead soldier son's body because it had been mutilated by the Irish terrorists. My sister was in the British Army and she told me of the mothers who would carry guns under their babies in the pram. They would put razor blades beneath their babies so that if the soldiers searched the pram for weapons they would be cut. There are many other horrendous things too ugly to mention here.
Noraid is an American Irish fundraiser for the Irish Republican Army, the Irish terrorists.
I don't blame you Braudboy for your beliefs. You don't know the facts.
Amen Micky.
I reverted to Islam a few years back because it fits my views the best. However in recent times as you well know, I have come to take a much much broader view of God. It is very arrogant for any man to presume he knows the Will of God or what His plans for us may or may not be. This is why I love you so much, you helped me to understand this what I believe to be a truth. I guess to say I am Muslim is incorrect, I am more of a Muslewstan. I read all the Holy text from Abrahamic traditions. I know a lot of people are going to be surprised when they get to heaven and realize it is not only people from their religion there with them.
It is obvious that what ever Grand Design God has, diversity is a huge part of that. Just look at all the different types of people and cultures. So if God knowingly did this, does it even make sense that he would expect us all to follow one single religion? Think about it, really think about that. I don't and wont presume to know Gods Will, but honestly if he made us all so very different and did this intentionality, then how could we even begin to believe that He would expect us all to accept and devote ourselves to one single religion?
Once again bvraudboy - the truth is not in you or anywhere around you.
I can take you to a hub right here where a frog has a pharmaceutical wife - you can bet that this fellow will never write a hub about pharmaceutical companies like:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Culture-of-Industry-Failur

or something about where America and the world is really failing. Instead - he "has to choose his battles". His topics have been about Obama's turn at bat. There are insults that are just stupid. They're "trying to come up with solutions from where health-care would come. Because as you GOP say - "there just ain't no money for health-care." Go on and call Americans unworthy of healthcare.
We didn't have Katrina budgeted. Your America didn't make New Orleans possibly safer when it could. We went ahead and made room in our budget to help our people.
We reached out to Haiti.
We're reaching out to everywhere and everywhere is reaching out to us - those that aren't fighting with us.
We have room in the budget for all kinds of endless war.
I have been terrorized by Americans who are Masons. I have been terrorize by Southern Baptists. I have been terrorized by Freewill Baptists. I've been terrorized near Glasco, Missouri. I've been terrorized in Massachusetts.

Not one Muslim has ever bothered me once.
Someone has to wonder if you are a child, a teenager, mentally challenged, ill and honestly - right now - let me be sincere. Are you okay?
braudboy - you are not winning converts by saying the same sound bite over and over.
Billions of people could actually flood this page with their own descriptions of terrorism.
A common question among cyclists in Charleston, South Carolina is, "Why do so many black people ride their bikes on the wrong side of the road, facing the traffic."
The answer and my answer is,"THEY KNOW A WHITE MAN IS GOING TO HIT THEM."
And I've been hit by the white and the black.
But I've never been hit by a Muslim.
Now- you are not a good representation of your party of crazy people. That's that party where you make up budgets that you never intend to live up to anyway.
Now I'm against any party that will bad-mouth health-care in any way. Everybody is loved by God and every child of God needs full dental.
I am against all Christians who would not want this for their brothers and sisters.
And if there is a Muslim against health-care for all our brothers and sisters - I would be against those Muslims equally with Christians, Jews, Palestinians, you name a race.
I apologize to good peace loving people.
I am adamant about my adherence to the Golden Rule. It is the rule that unclouds the mind.
In my passion to defend people who can't speak for themselves and when I see so much suffering - I'm going to say the wrong thing to someone.
I'll live with that. This is not my fight. God has my collar and He will not let me go.
upal19 -I apologize for the delay in thanking you for your peace. God bless you!
Wayne Brown - God bless you! God bless you!
Hummingbird!!! And this is why I love the Hummingbird! She is one of the prettiest birds! I can see those bombs explode and that terrorism. And terrorism begets terrorism.
Even if the 911 came down as we are told - How many lives are taken in payment.
Gandhi would be my choice as leader of America.
My choice for president right now would be the Dalai Lama. There's just too much noise. God bless you Hummingbird!
God bless you pintalis my nephew! I was so hoping you would stop by. I agree with you Brother man!
I want you, Freya, and all Muslims to have free health-care.
I want free dental for all Muslims! All Catholics. All Jews! All Palestinians! Hey - since I'm Christian - all Christians too! Let's get this whole world in on this. And if aliens should visit from outer space- they should have free health-care too.
Didn't God make the space aliens?
Here's a link on some American terrorists:
http://hubpages.com/hub/Fly-this-flag-and-no-soldi
George Armstrong Custer was a real piece of work.
Oh my brotherman! This is beautiful. We always find ways to be against others without recognising that in hurting others we are really hurting ourselves. It is so easy to make someone different into a scapegoat. It is so difficult to love someone we don't understand.
But those are the things we have to do if we want to live as human beings together on this little planet.
Thanks for writing these wonderful words. We need to spread peace and love, not hatred and destruction.
Love and peace
Tony
I understand there are American terrorists. The union leaders leading protests to ruin our economy. Democrat activists who are polluting our values and morals. There are certainly many examples. There are also some brutal and common examples of Muslim extremists. I spoke earlier of it but you cowardly erased my comments.
braudboy, I can't stand it any longer. I didn't comment because i knew Micky would toss you out with the pig slop, but when you start calling the Democrats activists, polluting your values and morals, my stomach starts to churn. What morals, what values do you or any of your kind have. You would have us back in the sweat shops making fifty cents an hour, You would break every union, you would stop funding schools, you complete and total jerk. I could go on, but i think you get the picture. Study history, and pray that we don't return to the days when only the rich could be educated. It's not been that long ago when a Black was caught reading a book, he was beaten to death.
braudboy your republican party should not exist. Your party cannot eat WITH US. WE DON'T WANT TO EAT WITH YOU. WE DON'T WANT YOUR HOUSE. STAY WHERE YOU ARE! YOU DESERVE TO BE SEPARATE!
But you and your ilk should not own and hold over our heads resources for the good of the world. The is no conserving with you.
You're the party of half lies and all lout lies. You use God when you want to sucker punch a Christian.
There isn't much but tricks and double talk from you.
You sprinkle some flavoring of truth into a huge lie.
Your party is of the rich. Go! Live with them! Enjoy!
But a huge world is looking at your sorry white bland cracker butt.
Your own party has to be saying right now, "Why doesn't this idiot shut the flock up?!?!"
You spew hate. There is nothing charitable about you. You're an open book.
YOU ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
A HUGE PART OF THE WORLD WOULD BE ON ITS FEET TO SEE YOUR TRUE BIGOT-TED ASS.
You are however a loud bright blaring migraine producing strobe light from hell!
YOU ARE A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
YOU'RE LOUD. YOU DO NOTHING FOR AMERICA BUT SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF IT JUST LIKE YOU TRY TO DO WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD.
YOU ARE A PRIME EXAMPLE OF YOUR PARTY. YOU BUTT IN WHERE YOU ARE NOT WANTED. YOU TRY TO DESTROY ALL LIFE OR HAVE IT SUBMIT TO YOU. YOU'RE A BULLY. YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN. LOOK WORLD! HERE IS A REPUBLICAN!
Excuse me while I say thank you Dear Jesus for all the hardships that I have endured at the hands of these scum just so that
I can say today - GOD BLESS YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME THESE EYES!
It's been a long journey.
Buy here he is Lord!
God bless you God!
And I will not worship the gOd of "Xs" and "Os"!Thank you Lord for showing me the corruption of the republican party over and over!
Thank you Dear God for showing me their hatred over and over!
Thank you Dear God for showing me their continuous warfare on planet Earth Your home away from home and look what they have done with YOUR Earth!
This EARTH does not belong to the republican party and the perpetual lying machine that is that cult!
Thank you for showing me their warfare on the American CHRISTIAN!
Thank you for showing me their warfare against God ALMIGHTY!
And this Earth will NEVER belong to these DEATH MERCHANTS FROM HELL!
Yes sir braudboy!
You are a republican! Thank GOD you are a republican!
How's that braudboy?
If the world could stand right n ow - it would tilt out of orbit from people standing at the thought of you being a republican!
YOU VERIFY EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT YOUR PARTY!
THANK GOD FOR YOU SIR!
There are billions of people that would jump up and down knowing that you are a republican.
The KKK is praying you don't say you're a member.
You are the republican man!!!
God bless you Always. I thought I might just let this idiot go.
I've deleted many things he's repeated. More hateful things.
It's part of the brain-washing propaganda they continuously cough up like hairballs.
And while we're on great examples of the United States republican party - this is it folks. It never ends.
If there is a historyu hub about Vietnam- the history is lopsided. "The French were ambushed at night"- it's just amazing.
They play up that "spitting on Vets" thing. That never happened with me.
I have been worse than SPIT on by business republicans.
I was treated better by leftists or the"new left" that was letting in all those communists..." It never ends!
I'm not saying it didn't happen - the spitting on Vets, but with this government you wouldn't know if it were CIA or republican. I don't mean to make accusations but I WILL NOT TRUST THIS GOVERNMENT AND NEVER THE REPUBLICAN PARTY! NEVER!
Everything is an act with them.
These republicans are the EVIL SOCIALISM FOR THE ELITE!
This Earth does not belong to republicans and I pray to God people see them for what they are!
They are hundreds of thousands of braudboys!
Hey Micky, I'm going to butt my nose in here really quick.
fist off, no political party in their current form should exist in america. Regardless of what one may think of their party, they really are not so different. They have the same exact goals, they just have different means to achieve them.
That being said, most of my personal morals, beliefs, and personal convictions lie in the right of the political line, do I consider my self republican? the answer to that would be no, do I consider my self Conservative? half of that answer would be no, and half would be yes. I do not consider my self to be conservative in the sense one is labeled with todays political party. I guess one might call me a liberal conservative, if you had to label me. Though I like to consider my self in the Constitution of the United States party. If its not in the constitution or bill of rights, it has no place in America and especially its politics.
While I am against certain things personally, like abortion, I also believe that if someone else wants to do it and it doesn't directly effect me, more power to them. I am against same sex marriage, in the sense that I believe it is a Direct Gift from God, but at the same time, if a gay man wants to be gay and it does not involve me, more power to him. He has my full support and blessings, as it is his God given right to pursue happiness. The bottom line is,if you align with any political party as they stand in the US today, you are part of the problem. Sorry if i offend any one, that is just this one mans personal belief.
I agree whole-heartedly!
I do pintails!
There is NO HONESTY!
But brother pintails - I am sick of this republican nausea from hell!
America has to get fed up with this FASCISM first - at least that is what God is telling me.
There has to be a revival!
"no political party in their current form should exist in america"
Absolutely! Absolutely!
But I have to throw my wrenches into this MONEY g0D!
I have nothing! But this republican take-over of the world has to stop!
The noise all across America makes me sick! And I don't even get TV!
Right now and right now I have to save stop the hating of other religions and put that hate where it belongs if anywhere and this hat war machine MUST STOP!
I am not a democrat but I have SUFFERED under these monsters too long.
These people are wrong and they are wrong right here and I'm making a joyful noise knowing that their time is limited and there is a God that will have VENGEANCE! It ain't even my cross.
I have stuff to do.
This world does not belong to businessmen and this business machine of the republican party is terroristic more than any "organization" in the world.
All democrats turn into republicans.
I have made that clear. But the grass roots of the democratic party is permeated with good people who sincerely care about human rights and human suffering.
These republicans treat US like drones!
This world does not belong to a king or businessman!
Well in truth the "roots" of all political parties is good. Communism is a great thing on paper, but it never works in real life, as an Idea its awesome in practice its very scary. The very same thing can be said about socialism or even capitalism and almost every other system that can be dreamed up with maybe the exception of a dictatorship, but really on paper that doesn't even sound such a bad idea.
But to think the democratic party is not as entwined in CIA dollar politics is naive, and I know you are not a naive person.
I took one of those tests one time that tell you what political party you fall into. I was shocked at the results, because the area I actually fell into is not the area I thought I belonged. The point is at the "roots" or the base "idea" the republican party is just as good and joyous and the democratic party, at its roots. The idea either party sets on paper, the idea that people like to believe they are following and supporting in their votes, is almost never what is really happening. The democratic party is just as involved in special interest, they take just as many "questionable" donations as republicans or any other political party. The bottom line is, both parties seek the same goal, they just have different means to that same end so they can get as many people to go along with it as possible.
Bush did have the idea to go into Iraq, but lets face the facts, with out the full support of congress he would never have been allowed to start a full on war there with the army, he would have had his 90 days with the marines and that would have been that, though lets admit to ourselves who held the power to allow the war to start in the first place, it was the democrats, to think they had no special interest in this war is also naive. but we could argue this point for years, as america has been, that i would like to avoid.
Dont get me wrong, Im not saying democrats are right and republicans are wrong or vice versa, in fact I am saying they are both wrong and they are both just as sick and twisted as the other. To think the problems in America are the fault or majority the fault of one party or the other, is a blind and very naive statement.
That being said, it is very well known fact that the republican party supports these global wars in multiple countries and often rally for them. Yes it needs to stop, but again with out the support of the democratic party, none of this would have happened in the first place nor would it continue to happen. Obama never had intentions to stop any of these wars, and the democratic party had plenty of time to stop all of this. They had almost 2 years, with a majority in congress the house and the presidency, yet it all continued the same it did under bush, or even Clinton with a republican lead congress.
All of this is solid prof to any one who is not in denial that these to parties are one in the same. The same motives and the same goals, they just paint the picture with different words. One is not more at fault than the other it is like a marriage the split is 50/50, and to think it any other way, is again very naive way to think and to live.
Sorry if I have offended anyones views, it is not my intention. I only wish that people would look at the facts here, my statements are supported fully by historical fact and not my opinions. If i wanted to argue political opinion and conjecture, well we can do that also, although it is not what i want to do. I only wish to show that choosing any side in american political system is to chose the losing side.
I guess simply put, democrat nausea is just as revolting as the republican poop.
I just wanted to add. At its roots, the republican party is the party that ended slavery, and allowed women to vote, at it's roots it is a lovely thing, same with the democratic party, but we both know neither is at their roots, nor will they ever return there.
Totally agree with your sentiments. Organised religions divide men.
Great write pintails. I'm not a democrat. I hate corruptioin.
I've more disenchanted with the need of repugnants like Art Pope of North Carolina who uses his wealth to BUY elections. A lot of "think tanks" are supported with his money he makes from poor.
Well there are some democrats who have been speaking out on Health-care - for it.
And the republicans will come up with something very good for insurance companies parmaceuticals, etc.
sure- the democrats will help carry the ball, contraband, illegal weapons- whatever - Right now - this stench of hate and noise from the right makes my colon cramp. If I wander into a quagmiric hub of a hubber that "follows me" I can walk into a "I hate Obama and I will slur him for ALL the wrong reasons.
I don't need a lesson on democrat vs republicanism.
I really don't understand why a person has to repeat himself-
I HAVE NEVER VOTED FOR ONE DEMOCRAT!
But because this is to republicans - I'm a democrat?
That makes as much sense as the moronic leaders of states like South Carolina where carrying a pipe that may be used in smoking marijuana carries the same penalty as having the illegal substance being smoked.
Why aren't all South Carolina citizens arrested for murder if they have a gun?
What do you people want me to do with one hub?
I have cut the democratic legs off when they've been wrong.
William Jefferson Clinton is the best republican we have EVER had!
If anyone wants a sworn affidavit swearing that I KNOW both parties are corrupt - let's get it on, but put that to rest!
Right now a bunch of @$$#oles are lumping ALL Muslims to be evil
Well America is the home of George Armstrong Custer and George Armstrong Bush.
I really wish this partisan crapola wouldn't raise any head about partisanship when someone complains about a section of our governmental DEMISE!
I read books like "DECEPTION".
This traces the sale of nuclear WAR to the MIDDLE EAST back to the CARTER years!
I am TOTALLY against this political system of lies.
I am against lies.
I'll be ADAMANTLY against lies that hurt people.
I am against any business big or small that doesn't play fair. I don't agree with lawless business and there is plenty in small bus and big bus.
I can write hubs on what I've seen in the bicycle business.
I am against anyone who does not profess the Law of Jesus, the Golden Rule as The law.
That is my creed.
I have no allegiance to these political parties and I will never worship their g0D of "Xs" and "os".
As I keep repeating - every democrat becomes a republican after they are elected.
But people like Art Pope - change THE MINDS to a TERRIBLE NEGATIVE.
When you look at the HUMONGOUS MONEY thrown at think tanks by a communist businessman- THIS ALONE CAN QUESTION MY VERY THINKING THAT BOTH PARTIES ARE THE SAME!
If they are the same - why spend money for the think tanks against Americans?
WHY BUY ELECTIONS LIKE ART POPE DOES? It's washing the voters' minds.
And so - for right now - yes - the republicans are more evil - up front.
I have to deal with the "upfront" because we have a SECRET GOVERNMENT!
Gee! This was supposed to be a hub - my a frickin' lifetime denial show I have to attend every day for the same results - and FOR NO MONEY!
Well - it ain't worth it.
Micky, as you know, I don't always agree 100% with you on some issues. But you also know that I have 100% admiration and respect for you. There is NO argument against the practice of the Golden Rule...and your hub here reflects this with great poetic grace...as you are most certainly talented and gifted to do this.
My only complaint (and it just MY opinion) is, is your vile generalization towards a republican. Though I do not always agree completely with the republican party, I, by default, am considered a republican. You clearly state your distaste for corruption, as I do too! Not ALL republicans are corrupt....as a voter, I have to choose between two, maybe three (if we are lucky) individuals to represent what I think is best for this Nation, State, County.....
To get back on topic, It is MY belief that the fruits of the spirit that Jesus wanted all of us to utilize that being love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control....this world we be heaven on earth.
Thanks Mick!
:)
I appreciate you words.
However - I see Art Pope in my state of North Carolina. He takes from the poor and he tries to possess their minds. There are tons of money he throw against the poor.
Make no mistake - yes I absolutely hate this activity and I hate other big business that subdues the human spirit.
And even now I feel like defending myself against your braudboy who follows every hub that conflicts with HIS head.
Now CMerritt if I have a vile generalization towards a republican you and your other republicans will have to police your own nasty nest and I wouldn't have to.
When I see the democrats form "think tanks" to out think and con the people they are extracting money from the poor and see the intention to spread their THIS con job ALL across the globe!?!
Yes I have a vile generalization toward Republicans.
When I see republicans who have NO spiritual essence whatsoever, while wooing the Christian vote with this money treachery, should I not be repulsed? When I see the democrats do that or other things I will jump on that with vigor.
So why don't you save this brai8nwashing spiel for someone else.
I will not rubber stamp this party and if I had the power the republican party wouldn't exist. There are no "parties" throwing money at war like this republican party.
And the good ole democrats carry the bags for republicans. Whether you, the re4publican party, the democratic party, Bill Clinton Al Gore, Richard Nixon, Bush 1,2,3,4,5,6...I don't care.
I am for the humans on this Earth as God instructed and these parties ESPECIALLY this republican party is standing on the heads of this humanity.
Pick a democrat, pick a republican, pick a lawyer - I know that they will NEVER run a courtroom with honesty ans WHY THE HELL WOULD I WANT ONE OF THESE TURDS IN PUBLIC OFFICE?
Are you saying I don't have the right to HATE corruption?
Cu7t me down Discredit me. But this hub was about the GENERALIZING OF MUSLIMS!
BUT YOU THINK I AM WRONG WITH GENERALIZING REPUBLICANS.
Pardon me but this hub is about HYPOCRISY!
Now if someone like braudboy doesn't like what I';m saying - why doesn't he get the heck out of here?
Why does he keep pulling his chatty Cathy doll and too - why the heck don't you shut him up? Because he's spouting your message?
I will generalize that HUMANITY belongs to God and not the MONEY of this world that wants to put every human on the New York stock exchange.
I will generalize as I please.
The KKK generalizes at it pleases.
The GOP generalizes at it does.
You're just going to have to get over my generalizing or kill me.
You CMerritt have 19 hubs in 6 months.
WHO P!SSED IN YOU WHEATIES?
I merely stated my opinion...and I put that in parenthisis to stress this.
Do you not allow other opinions on here?
I did not ONCE cut you down OR discredit you....as a mater of fact, I praised you. I STILL do. I totally respect your PASSION for GOD and HUMANITY.
I did not say I was agreeing with braudboy....I'm not saying he is entirley wrong either.
obviously, I struck a chord in which you wish not to discuss. I will simply bow out.
Again - braudboy is here harassing me every day. What do you do? Nothing - party line.
braudboy has 6 hubs and he's here every day!
He's here every day.
Now - if I should ever get PISSED - blame it on republicans.
From what I see you are ALL lazy. You ALL abandon anyone that disagrees. Instead of calling down your own CREEPS - you kill, criticize, or harass the messenger.
When I see a hub written by you are the braudboy about Art Pope, I'll get rid of any piss you might see in my Wheaties.
When I see the 7th hub written by braud brain about something negative about your crooks maybe my cereal will taste better.
You want a medal for your inactivity?
I can't do much for all the BS you jackasses are posting. Go write a hub or can you?
You people are way too much. There is no doubt - your party - this republican war machine is the richest party on Earth.
And this PARTY has the people of the world in its cross hairs.
The democrats stand there with the hand of business choking they privates and they all become just like YOU when they are elected.
Yes- I think humanity is in the cross-hairs of the republican party. The whole world ain't enough.
Yes! Now I have to go toss up a political hairball.
But you and the republicans and the democrats keep your gated communities going!
If I have piss in my cereal that's because somebody PISSED in my cereal. And you're pissing in everybody's cereal. Don't expect me to pass out good citizenship awards.
First of all, I should not even respond, but..
Second of all, Who is Art Pope?
thirdly, I have not rambled off 238 hubs, but I have wrote 19...no, I don't want any medals
and lastly, you calling me a Jackass? What have i done?
where and who have I abandoned?...have I killed or critizied YOU? NO! but you sure have done so to me.
and YOU preach the Golden Rule?
I'm sorta confused...
You used the term "vile" as you sit there and look at braudboy and his endless haranguing.
Yeah- excuse me as I'm deluged with the same repetitious endless meaningless blurbs from braudboy. On any political hub I do. Want a Micky tour of braudboy?
It doesn't matter how many hubs one has - but - I think you could tell your friend buttbrain to go write a SEVENTH hub! But I don't expect a republican to do a damn thing for this VET!
Yeah - I'm generalizing about 62 years of damn republican lies.
And let's not forget a famous democratic lie while we're at it. The 40th anniversay will be in 2004. Let's have some 4th of July fireworks!
"American Planes Hit North Vietnam After Second Attack on Our Destroyers; Move Taken to Halt New Aggression", announced a Washington Post headline on Aug. 5, 1964.
One of the Navy pilots flying overhead that night was squadron commander James Stockdale, who gained fame later as a POW and then Ross Perot's vice presidential candidate. "I had the best seat in the house to watch that event," recalled Stockdale a few years ago, "and our destroyers were just shooting at phantom targets — there were no PT boats there.... There was nothing there but black water and American fire power."
In 1965, Lyndon Johnson commented: "For all I know, our Navy was shooting at whales out there."
But in Aug. 4, 1964, Johnson won accolades from editorial writers. The president, proclaimed the New York Times, "went to the American people last night with the somber facts." The Los Angeles Times urged Americans to "face the fact that the Communists, by their attack on American vessels in international waters, have themselves escalated the hostilities."
And it disgusts me that the republican party has been at the front of lies about Iraq.
Yeah - I will serve the God but I will not serve Mammon. And I might seem vile like someone has shyt in my Wheaties.
3 million Vietnamese are DEAD!
How many were MAIMED?
How many are DEFORMED from agent orange!
And your lying party is going to take "democracy" to Iraq?
A democracy that WE don't have.
Ye s braudshyt! Yes whoever!
Color me PISSED and PISSED because YOU ARE NOT!
I sure do preach that Golden Rule.
And here we go again.
You clould read the hub and go on.
But no- now CMerrit has to question my adherence to the Golden Rule.
Now you're a braudboy.
I will try my best to uphold the Golden Rule. Mine is for humanity.
YOU and YOUR republican party already have the health-care you want.
So if you think that I'm going to be pleasant while you and your party deny care and deny dignity, you are wrong.
The Golden Rule is NOT TO ENDORSE EVIL.
You have health -care. I want it for everyone - WITH DIGNITY!
I am not Jesus.
Nobody is making Micky Dee a pattern for cloning.
Keep your eyes on the Golden Rule and go write a hub.
???- if that's an apology or an attempt I guess I don't care for it. Here I am again. I've rebutted about all the nonsense I care to.
I sit here right now with a head-ache from hell- and no - it;s not just braudboy.
I have an actual headache. I have a constant headache and neck pain and upper back pain and lower back pain and pain running down my damn right leg because a businessman ran over me in Spartanburg SC and lied in court.
I was also run over on the sidewalk in Orangeburg, SC.
I was also hit by a hit and run driver in Columbia Sc. I've had guns pulled on me by a man in Bat Cave, NC. I've had a gun pulled on me in Asheville, NC. I've had my store robbed on more occasions that I can remember.
I have been arrested for something I never did and spent time on the Chain Gang.
Don't preachy to me about American values. I've had enough. I don't know if you people have been out of your house.
If this urinates anybody off - live with it or whatever.
My time is constantly wasted and the comments only reinforce absurdity and some land of maples and oaks and main streets I've never seen and have hardly ever been welcomed to participated in.
so good luck with Fantasy Island, Mayberry, Siler City, etal.
Here's a fact for all the people of the world.
As far as I know, Micky Dee, there is no such thing as finger printing except on your arrest.
If your home is broken into - the police in America NEVER take finger prints to my knowledge.,
In America - no matter how many times Micky Dee's store is broken into - there will NEVER be finger prints taken.
If a knife if pulled on Micky Dee - there are no prints taken even if the knife is "saved" for the police. There will be NO investigation.
There will be no report filed.
THIS IS THE TRUE AMERICA FOR SOME OF US!
Hold that hypocritical bullshyt party line.
I have no idea what America you people live in.
Hey there Micky! I love your passion. I sometimes get a little lost 'cos I don't understand all the US politics stuff - but I love you, my brotherman! Keep on writing.
Love and peace
Tony
Thank you Tony. We just have one party. It's like pro-wrestling. It's all rigged and fixed. Usually the participants don't get hurt. Lots of bystanders are killed in the audience though. Thank you Tony. God bless!
I have read the hub and then I have read and read and read the comments. There seem to be three men here, all of whom have strong beliefs and opinions.
Why braudboy feels the need to come on Mickey Dee's hubs just to disagree is beyond me. I didn't see anywhere in the hub that said "this is my opinion, please come and bash it and then change the subject to include anything else we disagree upon."
CMerritt seems to have a more level head than braudboy but I still don't understand the need to voice your disagreement on another person's hub.
If I read something I disagree with or feel has no merit I don't waste my time and energy, or theirs, by spouting my beliefs on their hub. I may shake my head and even mumble under my breath, but then I move on. You could also write hubs of your own stating what you believe. I doubt Mickey is going to haunt you and lay in wait for you to write something so he can return the behavior you guys have displayed.
If he seems irritated, like someone pissed in his cornflakes, maybe that's because he is of a generation who believed in our country. Just maybe, giving heart body and soul as a Marine in Viet Nam and all that entailed has opened his eyes to things we can not even possibly imagine, let alone live through. He has the right to speak his mind, give his opinion and so do you ... on your own hubs. I suggest you both go write one. I believe that is what he is saying, in essence. You poke someone with a sharp stick and then wonder when they react? That doesn't show much valor in my eyes and it certainly doesn't win me over to believing anything credible has come out of your mouths. You may have some truths, I don't know and neither does anyone else that has read this fiasco. It doesn't take a genius to bash another person's statements. If you have something valid to say, lets see it ... on your own hubs.
Poohgranma! Thank you form the bottom of my heart. God bless you for allowing me to be me. God bless you for allowing me to speak. Thank you for allowing me to have an opinion. Right now I have a huge hub that was pulled. It's loaded with a "different opinion" and it asks a lot of questions.
I've honestly thought about pulling all my hubs. I've thought about it before. I'm spending to much time with people who insult and harass.
I sure don't like any ideology that demands a one track blinders-on approach.
God bless you for lifting me up!
As I said before, get some rest now and give the troubles of this world to God. Only He knows the end from the beginning and only He will truly understand your heart.
Your friends love and support your right to write of your opinions. None of this (discussion) is worth the bandwidth it took up.
Rest now and have a bright tomorrow. We will be here.
Beautifully done Micky
I have read all the comments here. The main one that I don't like is the idea of you taking all your hubs and going. Most of us like to read your hubs,you have so many different kinds. Funny, interesting, informative and sad. You are a voice of reason among so much dross that is printed here.
So carry on writing Micky. Hummingbird
God bless you- my friends!
Button dance in effect!
Of course I don't really like Islam, but I definitely haven't had any Muslims. . . .do anything at all to me, other than sell me what I wanted at the store!
I've also stolen your baphomet/Washington picture!
Truce Mick...God Bless you, keep on hubbing brother!
Time and time, you reminding me why I already really like you from the first I knew you; whether as an author or as a person. The voice inside our heart will never mistaken in recognizing the beauty inside others no matter what it's cover. But those who only able to see the surface, the skin and the label which they seen with their blurry eyes, will easily blinded by his own fears and doubt. You are the one who showed the world, there is still many American who living by his core, and not turned into just money, technology or hedonist's lover. I am so proud that I ever knew you, King Micky. May God give great peace in your heart and life. You fitted very well as the King in my "The Land of HubPages" series because you are the example of great man we all want to know and love.
Micky Dee - Great hub and, wow, great comments too! I have to both agree with you and say you hit a nerve with me. It seems like a daily occurance that I see someone who's value of money above all else just mystifies me. Can't eat money, it wont hold you when you cry, it doesn't laugh at our jokes and has no real value what so ever, yet it has more value then anything else?!?! A serious WTF moment there (and it happens daily!)
God bless you Freya!
My hub followers have dissipated for writing the truth.
They scurry like the rodents they are.
Mine is of peace.
Mine is not of war and hate.
I will not hate because of color and dress and religion and...
God bless you Freya!
God bless you kirstenblog! God bless you!
I HAVE THE VERY BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD!
Well done Mickey, this is a great hub and beautiful. Believers of different religions have positive and negative and all I can say is that you are positive ones who agree and accept coexistence. You are one of the best man kind who likes that all citizens of the world to live peacefully, fraternity and love. Thanks for sharing.
Abdi.
Nice poem. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Neverletitgo God bless you!
chim4real- God bless you too!
I HAVE THE VERY BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD!
Micky this is such a beautiful hub. If only people could concentrate on the areas where we agree, instead of making walls where we disagree, the world would be a much better place. My husband works with many Muslim people, he has for many years. His place of work always accomodated their need to pray at specific times of day, and made them a prayer room to do so. After 9/11, people from the company were writing mean messages about the Muslim people. Ignorant people who couldn't even spell Muslim correctly. Maybe a few trips to the prayer room would have benefited them instead! I am also interested in all religions, and think they share basic premises. Keep fighting the good fight, my friend!
It's ALL BEEN SAID...GOD BLESS YOU...:o) Hugs:O) G-Maa
God bless you Jean Bakula!!!
What a beautiful testimony!
God bless you G-Ma Johnson! I'm hugging you back!
I have the best friends!
Micky: That was beautiful. I don't often read poetry but yours are a Must-Read!
Hi yenajeon! You are so nice. Thank you dear!
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/12-killed-in-a
You said "you never had a muslim, do any harm to me..."
Apparently, he did the harm to someone he could reach, instead. While not all Muslims are prone to kill randomly... Islam is NOT compatible with freedom, with Christianity, or with any value you hold dear.
It is always a tragedy when people are killed. But this happened after the Quran burning by the "Pastor" in America. He did that with the sole intention of inciting hatred and violence. He claims to be Christian but in fact he does not stand for any Christian beliefs that I understand. His Christianity is definitely NOT compatible with freedom or any value that I hold dear.
He must be feeling happy now because what he intended has happened. He is a mean, narrow-minded little man who has no right to be claiming to be a man of God.
He is like the terrorists who claim to be Muslim. They no more believe in God than Terry Jones. They are partners.
God bless your beautiful heart my pretty Hummingbird!
It doesn't matter what Jones wanted, or if he is a Christian, or not a Christian. The relevance is that under the auspices of Islam, by religious edict, a mob murdered people for no other reason, than someone did something they didn't like. We understand when one person retaliates against someone who harmed them. We likely don't agree, but we understand that people's anger overwhelms them. But this wasn't any overwhelming. This was planned murder of people unrelated to any concern they may have had. This is Islam. When will you wake to that fact?
This is not Islam. When will YOU wake up and realise that your knowledge about most things is very small,(I have read some of your hubs) and learn about Islam. Then when you have studied the life of the Prophet, read the Quran, studied history you can then come back.
In a couple of years when you have read something you will see that in history wherever Muslims went they treated people with dignity and respect and people of all religions were living side by side in peace.
The fanaticism and Al Qaeda particularly are an American product. If you knew anything about recent history you would know this. Trouble is, that you are like the ignorant ones who listen to the mullahs. Your mullahs are the press and the republicans.
Hummingbird- you refuse to see the very real facts that this world's most dangerous element at present, is the muslim extremism and the religious fanatics of the Islam religion. Period.
Inspiring Hub Micky. irrespective of religion or non-religion the Golden Rule holds true across the nations.
Thanks for a thought-provoking Hub
hummingbird: "The fanaticism and Al Qaeda particularly are an American product. If you knew anything about recent history you would know this. Trouble is, that you are like the ignorant ones who listen to the mullahs. Your mullahs are the press and the republicans."
No, that's the global mass murdering religion of Islam. You cannot blame Americans for the mass murder, repression, oppression and endless fighting that goes on EVERYWHERE Islam is dominant.
The very idea that this is American is beyond stupid. Islam's rampage of murder goes back FAR into history before America even existed.
Just think about what Americans did to the race of American Indians before you start on YOUR nonsense.
Nonsense, hummingbird.
weholdtheselies. You are so shallow, so ignorant of history, so ignorant of the present, and you are just mean. You stupid moron! If I continue talking to you or braudass or any of your other friends- it's reall giving credence to Satan.. That's who you an stupid boy represent. You and your party are slavers. You care nothing about truth and certainly not justice. The injustice system of the Us has not worked in 200 years. This isn't up for debate. It's fact.
America is the most imprisoned nation of Earth. For this reason alone - you know little history or current events.present. As far as world events past or present- you and your friends are not only ignorant but YOU and YOUR friends are traitors to America, to the world -
BUT YOU DO NOT KNOW GOD - YOU DO NOT WORSHIP GOD - YOU NOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WILL TRULY KNOW GOD - IT CERTAINLY APPEARS =- BY EVERY WORD YOU SAY.
\Your world disorder is trying to make an "end run" on the world. Your party lies continuously. Your words are right here on your pages and mine.
General Custer and his ilk were just like you. You're murders. You will watch people suffer but-
YOU WANT PEOPLE TO SUFFER.
You've cowards are like ALL bullies. You call me out and them you r4un scurrying like the rats you are when a little man of truth calls you out.
I do appreciate my friends commenting to lower forms of life like yourselves. I'm sure some have clothes pins on their noses in the process.
I didn't ask them to but I have wonderful friends.
You turds on the other hand - HAD BETTER NEVER TRUST EACH OTHER!
Now weholdALLTRUTHSINPRISON put up or shut up.
But you come over here trying to bait me about something.
Let me tell you and the repugnant party- NUMBER ONE -THERE IS NO TRUTH IN YOU.
Here's what Jesus said to you 2000 years ago - GET BEHIND ME SATAN!
You are truly a disturbed, unhinged person.
I would rather be just about anything than you and your ilk. You poke your own eyes out.
You are so politically mean that you KEEP YOURSELF STUPID.
You and your rhetoric have nothing to do with God.
YOU MENTION NOTHING ABOUT GOD.
IF YOU DID IT WOULD BE A LIE. The truth is not in you.
As I've said - you're evil - you're against humanity. You lie. You distort any truth you have.
You are a liar. This is by DEFINITION- of YOUR words. Is the republican party of God?
I'm disturbed. You bet. I see traitors like you.
You spend your time at THIS VETERAN's hub when you should get out.
BUT THAT IS WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS GOOD FOR.
YOU BEAT UP VETS.
YOU IMPRISON VETS.
YOU KEEP MAKING VETS OF THE POOR/.
WARS FOR THE RICH.
YOU AND YOUR PARTY IS A LIE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOD BECAUSE YOU ARE A LIAR.
FROM WHAT i HAVE READ IN THE BIBLE
IT IS SATAN THAT IS THE FATHER OF ALL LIES.
THAT MAKES YOU AND YOUR PARTY A LIAR.
IT HAS BEEN A LIE TO THIS VETERAN- AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT -FIND GOD!~
And what place does the hatred have that you wield toward the poor? How do you or your war party glorify God? and your addiction to bullying, and supporting rich tyrants and lawyers?
YOU IMPRISON VETS!
YOU CHEAT VETS.
YOU GLORIFY WAR FOR BUSINESS as usual.
You are stupid but it's self-inflicted.
you and your party CHEAT VETS.
YOU FALSELY IMPRISON THEM!
You and your party are a lie!
Your vietnam war was waged by democrats. You were handpicked by the democratic party to participate in that war. You probably forgot that during your tirade against the republican war machine.
It was Democrats like John Kerry, who then spit on Vets when they returned, called them babykillers and all sorts of horrible stuff.
It was the technocrats who thought they could "engineer" a war to accomplish political ends (democrats), and sent people in to die and then pulled them out for politics... who were manipulated by the fatuous liars of the other side. I was young back then, and my parents shielded me from the hate spewed at the returning soldiers, and so I knew nothing of why my brother came home pretending he wasn't a soldier. Spew YOUR hate at someone else. You've totally misdirected it now.
I'm not even a Republican... But your hate is so overwhelming you just can't see or think straight. Get some help.
I'm not sure whose hate is preventing them thinking straight here? As I recall it was a republican, Tricky Dick, who first tried to bomb Vietnam into submission, incidentally and illegally bombing Cambodia in the process, and then rather ignominiously pulled the troops out of Vietnam when his much-vaunted bombing did not succeed. On the advice of Kissinger, who later could command huge sums as a consultant although he was the architect of the US defeat in Vietnam. He got rich on the backs of people like Micky Dee who put their lives on the line for the lies of Nixon and Kissinger.
Which is not to say that the Dems were much better. LBJ escalated the war and was responsible for the deaths of many, many innocent people.
On the question of Islam Hummingbird has it more right. I am just at the moment reading a biography of Muhammad in which the author (not a Muslim) states: "The Qu'ran teaches that war is always abominable. Muslims must never open hostilities, for the only just war is a war of self-defence, but, when once they have undertaken a war, Muslims must fight with absolute commitment in order to bring the fighting to an end as soon as possible."
And further: "In the Islamic empire Jews, like Christians, had full religious liberty; the Jews lived there in peace until the creation of the State of Israel in our own century (this book was published in 1991)"
The author also points out that "the word 'Islam' comes from a root which means peace and reconciliation" and that Muhammad insisted on such a policy, even at the cost of alienating some of his own followers.
Islamic fanaticism is a reflection of the fanaticism of other religions and is not a necessary part of the faith.
There is also not too much truth in the statement "mass murder, repression, oppression and endless fighting that goes on EVERYWHERE Islam is dominant." Certainly that is true of some countries, though I think if one examined such occurrences more deeply they would be seen to have causes other than Islam. Certainly mass murder and repression are not essential to the creed of Islam, but are rather against its values.
Looking at the writings in the Qu'ran and at some of the rather lurid passages in especially the Old Testament there is little difference, and yet you would not say that Judaism or Christianity promote mass murder and repression. But many Christians do and have done, even against their fellow Christians.
Spreading hate and prejudice against people who are different is not going to aid the cause of peace. Name calling and the shouting of slogans does nothing to promote understanding.
The war in Vietnam was a dreadful mistake which has left deep scars, scars which will still take years to heal.
I see this Hub of Micky's, and others that he has written about his experiences in that war and after, as eloquent cries of pain and disillusion. Instead of squabbling about other people, let's try to honour Micky's pain, to understand it and to try to do whatever it takes to prevent such horrors happening again.
Try to read this Hub as a plea for understanding, not a justification of anything. Let Micky's eloquent words, and the searing pain they reveal, move us to work for understanding, which is really the only basis on which peace can be built.
Only through understanding will we be able to live together as brothers (and sisters!) and the only alternative, as MLK said, is that we die together as fools. I don't much like the sound of the second alternative.
Love and peace
Tony
You erased my comments....are you in denial??? It needs to be known that a Christian is a target in muslim countries. Christianity is the enemy of muslims. As a believer in Christianity, you should recognize this instead of insisting that it is the republican party who is the enemy of Christianity.
Mick, though I refuse to back down from my beliefs, I have nothing but respect for you. I know that you have YOUR opinions and you earned them via Vietnam war. Something I will not even pretend to understand. Just know that I have 100% respect for ALL our military. Those who fought and gave their lives in Vietnam, have a different view thant I have on some issues. I do, listen, and TRY to be more understanding.
I will leave it at that.
Braudboy- I've warned you about commenting your tired hate rhetoric.
I do not work for Satan.
You do.
If you sissy boys don't like a hub you go to your sissy hubpages team and say that - this is a repeat or whatever.
Your "friends", the hubpages team is evidently WHITE RICE REPUBLICAN AND YOU HIDE FROM THE TRUTH TO PROMOTE YOUR FALSE POLITICS, RELIGION, and HATE. censor anyone in disagreement.
You've called this Veteran names, including "coward".
Then you want to tell me that you get a "Christian flier" once in a while?
How much brain damage do you have?
FACTS ARE USELESS TO YOU, the REPUGNANT PARTY.
Secretary of State John Foster Dulles met Prime Minister Ngo Dinh Diem for the first time in Saigon on 28 February 1955. Proclaiming his admiration for Diem's leadership of "Free Vietnam", Dulles assured the South Vietnamese leader that he had the "solid support" of the United States. Less than a month later,General J. Lawton Collins, President Dwight D. Eisenhower's special representative in Saigon with full authority to speak on behalf of the U. S. government, was threatening Diem with the withdrawal of American support. "I thought we felt when I was in Saigon," Dulles protested to Collins, "that the decision to back Diem had gone to the point of no return and that either he had to succeed or else the whole business would be a failure." Collins did not agree that Diem was indispensable to the creation of a successful, non-Communist regime in Vietnam..."
~J. Lawton Collins, John Foster Dulles, and the Eisenhower Administration's "Point of No Return" in Vietnam~
So - really - do republicans ever do research for the truths? Do they only search for "half-truths" when they have to?
braudboy -you and I are done.
YOU - braudboy have turned me totally against your party. You and I are parting ways.
I will delete every comment you ever make at my hubs.
You have harassed me more than anyone.
Now your friend, notruthsleftunturned have your goal to drive me off the hubpages.
You will attack endlessly.
It's how republicans have fun.
Many wonderful writers have quit because your harassing. And you get away with it.
I don't go to your hubs. I've ventured in and out really quick. I have not ONCE HARASSED you. NOT once!
But here you are with your piglet friend.
You don't know God's word.
You have no relationship with my FATHER! My God is the true God. Not yours.
I HAVE NOT WRITTEN TO HAVE A CONTEST.
But - if you have - you are soundly soundly defeated.
You have been measured.
You have been weighed.
These words can go to your friend, wewilldenyalltruthsandthelivingGod!
And you have come up short!
Great article which is well shared,thanks.kudos.
Thank you Sun-Girl. God bless you dear.
I agree with Fay Paxton comment! Great article!
God bless you dear drpastorcarlotta. My comments certainly do not meet mainstream Christian acceptance. But - I when you deal with demons like this you may as well tell Satan what you feel - I do. Thank you dear. I love you. God bless you.

Micky, this is an absolutely wonderful hub and a perfect lesson for a Sunday afternoon. As I read your opening poem, I couldn't help but think of Muhammed Ali. I remember when he objected to going to Vietnam, he had the same sentiment...the Vietnamese had never done anything to him.
Superb hub.
