when evil called itself a martyr

when evil called itself a martyr

when evil called itself a martyr

i remember everything. all the details about everything.

it was eight years ago and much of it seems like yesterday to me. i got up early that morning at 5:45 west coast time. for some reason i just couldn’t sleep. i turned on the tv and saw the early coverage that ‘a small plane has hit the wtc’. it just didn’t seem right for some reason. the hole was huge. i instantly became afraid and went upstairs to wake up my husband, telling him to come watch tv with me because something bad must was going on…

i watched way too much tv during the days that followed. i couldn’t seem to take my eyes off the coverage day or night – like the rest of the country i suppose. i knew the names of victims, heroes, and those 19 terrorists who hated us more then life itself. and yes. it was then, during 9/11, that i knew i would love george w. bush forever – no matter what.

now, as each anniversary date approaches i get anxious and uneasy, my stomach becoming queasy if i think about all of it too long. maybe i have 9/11 ptsd, i don’t know. to this day, i can’t watch a 9/11 tv show or even a short tribute video without crying like a baby. it was all i could do to find this very special one below.

i suppose i will always feel this way about september 11th, america’s patriots day. how could i not? god bless our dear country and never forget our friends or our enemies.


9/11 tribute

_____

update: former president george w. bush has released a statement from his ranch in crawford.

“Eight years ago, our Nation and our freedom came under attack. On this solemn anniversary, Laura and I hold the victims and their families in our thoughts and prayers. We honor those who volunteer to keep us safe and extend the reach of freedom – including members of the armed forces, law enforcement officers, and intelligence and homeland security professionals. Their courage, service, and sacrifice is a fitting tribute to all those who gave their lives on September 11, 2001. On this day, let us renew our determination to prevent evil from returning to our shores.”

always looking out for us.

    For my sister Joann who was lovely, funny, and kindness itself. We miss you every day sweetheart and thinking of you every moment this morning.

    Not but a couple years after the towers were built I worked as the Maitre D at Fraunces Tavern on Broad n pearl, the oldest structure in Manhattan across from the NYSE. Everyday going to work I’d get off the train little early on Church st. just so I could walk past the towers while grabbing a dog and a newspaper, maybe shine my shoes.
    24/25 years and 6000 miles later I sat in my living room and bawled like a blubbering little boy as I watched the faces of those people get crushed and there was not a thing I could do to help them.
    Everyday since then at least a miniscule thought goes out to all those people in that hood that maybe were still there that day. The shoe shine guys, the vendors, the guides in the towers and all those who died had to live and die in a horror we can only imagine.
    Its also the day I decided that Bush truly was the man as I saw the look on his face when Card gave him the news. I said to myself “yup, were gonna kick some ass now”. It was that look that gave me my peace in knowing this crap was not going unanswered.
    Bless Bush and especially those that went down and their loved ones.

    I was drink coffee and watching FOX when the first plane hit the Towers. My husband had just left for work. I too was glued to the TV and even kept my children home from sclool because I wanted them close should more happen. I too have anxiety as this day approaches each year. We must allways work to keep our country safe.

    We saw the true face of Islam on 9/11 no matter what muslims try to say. Mass murder and oppression is filtered throughout their teachings. The moderates do NOTHING to really distance themselves. They tacitly support the terrorists.

    All of this WAS sanctioned by Islam. All of this is STILL sanctioned by Islam: “Kill the infidels wherever you find them”.

    Islam is NOT a religion of peace. They are our enemies.

  • Ginny's_Mom says:

    “Eight years ago today, our homeland was attacked by fanatical Muslims inspired by Saudi Arabian bigotry. Three thousand American citizens and residents died.

    We resolved that we, the People, would never forget. Then we forgot.

    We’ve learned nothing.

    Instead of cracking down on Islamist extremism, we’ve excused it.

    Instead of killing terrorists, we free them.

    Instead of relentlessly hunting Islamist madmen, we seek to appease them.”

    This is an excerpt from an excellent opinion piece written here:

    http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/betraying_our_dead_H6T95r1BTCnkC1UbEdUfsO

    You Liberals that fester at this blog need to go read it and then come back and talk about your Barack and the consequences of your victory last November.

  • Wayne says:

    For someone looking for freedom and peace Ginny’s_Mom, only the opposite reads in your posting. What I read here displays anger and fear. Those emotions only beget more of the same. It is not about Liberal or Conservative opinions. Those ideologies are only given to make us think we have power in government. What does your inner self tell you is right and wrong? Agreed, the acts that took place 8 years ago were tragic. Those affected will forever be remembered. Change can only come from within. Your inner self reflects your outer world. Finding that peace within ourselves is the first key to finding it elsewhere.

  • Marsha says:

    Here is a tragically beautiful 9/11 pictorial. http://attacked911.tripod.com/

    Hey Wayne. Today of all days, let people grieve and process their own way. Anger and fear? Damn right. But also resolve and resistence. It’s that inner feeling of overcoming that helps bring people up and out not psychobabble. And it IS about liberal or conservative especially when liberals undercut the attacks and the steps taken to protect our country for the last 8 years.

    Damn. Check this article out!

    Don’t let 9/11 become just another Earth Day!!!!

    Since we’re all linking to articles, here’s one written by Charles C. Krulak, former commandant of the USMC, and Joseph P. Hoar, commander in chief of US Central Command:

    Talk about desecrating 911! Dick Cheney’s done all that and more!

  • Pat in NC says:

    I miss the feeling of safety we were able to regain for a while. May God continue to bless us
    and keep us from repeating 9/11/01.

  • PenniePan says:

    Oh Geez.

    You people would have sitting in sackcloth and ashes, wailing and moaning the rest of our lives! At what point do you think enough mourning is enough? At what point do you all think making something positive of 9/11, like a National Day of Service, is an ok thing?

    I am not saying 9/11 wasn’t awful. But we knew that day was coming by our policies with Israel over Palestine. We had warnings after warnings by the radicals blowing up our interests overseas. We should have changed our policies and let the Middle Easy govern themselves. But no.

    I personally am sick of mourning. I think today is a day of remembering but I also think its a day to move on and help others. Now, let the insults begin.

  • micky says:

    Wayne, Dade, take you bullsh*t somewhere else today
    No one wants to hear your moonbatitis drivel today about how were not allowed to be angry or want deserved justice or what you think about Cheney. Trust me, if I wanted to I could give a fact laced acoount of how your liberal bullsh*t was foremost behind what happened that day, but today is not the day.
    Wayne
    Our ideologies have far more power to breed humanity at its best than any on the planet as is made evident by living conditions in those countries that adhere to Islam, radical or not.

    Screw the links.
    This is what needs to be heard.

    11/24/02 compliments of Osama Bin Laden

    “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

    “Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory” [Quran 22:39]

    “Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan.”[Quran 4:76]

    Some American writers have published articles under the title ‘On what basis are we fighting?’ These articles have generated a number of responses, some of which adhered to the truth and were based on Islamic Law, and others which have not. Here we wanted to outline the truth – as an explanation and warning – hoping for Allah’s reward, seeking success and support from Him.

    While seeking Allah’s help, we form our reply based on two questions directed at the Americans:

    (Q1) Why are we fighting and opposing you?
    Q2)What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?

    As for the first question: Why are we fighting and opposing you? The answer is very simple:

    (1) Because you attacked us and continue to attack us.

    a) You attacked us in Palestine:

    (i) Palestine, which has sunk under military occupation for more than 80 years. The British handed over Palestine, with your help and your support, to the Jews, who have occupied it for more than 50 years; years overflowing with oppression, tyranny, crimes, killing, expulsion, destruction and devastation. The creation and continuation of Israel is one of the greatest crimes, and you are the leaders of its criminals. And of course there is no need to explain and prove the degree of American support for Israel. The creation of Israel is a crime which must be erased. Each and every person whose hands have become polluted in the contribution towards this crime must pay its*price, and pay for it heavily.

    (ii) It brings us both laughter and tears to see that you have not yet tired of repeating your fabricated lies that the Jews have a historical right to Palestine, as it was promised to them in the Torah. Anyone who disputes with them on this alleged fact is accused of anti-semitism. This is one of the most fallacious, widely-circulated fabrications in history. The people of Palestine are pure Arabs and original Semites. It is the Muslims who are the inheritors of Moses (peace be upon him) and the inheritors of the real Torah that has not been changed. Muslims believe in all of the Prophets, including Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all. If the followers of Moses have been promised a right to Palestine in the Torah, then the Muslims are the most worthy nation of this.

    When the Muslims conquered Palestine and drove out the Romans, Palestine and Jerusalem returned to Islaam, the religion of all the Prophets peace be upon them. Therefore, the call to a historical right to Palestine cannot be raised against the Islamic Ummah that believes in all the Prophets of Allah (peace and blessings be upon them) – and we make no distinction between them.

    (iii) The blood pouring out of Palestine must be equally revenged. You must know that the Palestinians do not cry alone; their women are not widowed alone; their sons are not orphaned alone.

    (b) You attacked us in Somalia; you supported the Russian atrocities against us in Chechnya, the Indian oppression against us in Kashmir, and the Jewish aggression against us in Lebanon.

    (c) Under your supervision, consent and orders, the governments of our countries which act as your agents, attack us on a daily basis;

    (i) These governments prevent our people from establishing the Islamic Shariah, using violence and lies to do so.

    (ii) These governments give us a taste of humiliation, and places us in a large prison of fear and subdual.

    (iii) These governments steal our Ummah’s wealth and sell them to you at a paltry price.

    (iv) These governments have surrendered to the Jews, and handed them most of Palestine, acknowledging the existence of their state over the dismembered limbs of their own people.

    (v) The removal of these governments is an obligation upon us, and a necessary step to free the Ummah, to make the Shariah the supreme law and to regain Palestine. And our fight against these governments is not separate from out fight against you.

    (d) You steal our wealth and oil at paltry prices because of you international influence and military threats. This theft is indeed the biggest theft ever witnessed by mankind in the history of the world.

    (e) Your forces occupy our countries; you spread your military bases throughout them; you corrupt our lands, and you besiege our sanctities, to protect the security of the Jews and to ensure the continuity of your pillage of our treasures.

    (f) You have starved the Muslims of Iraq, where children die every day. It is a wonder that more than 1.5 million Iraqi children have died as a result of your sanctions, and you did not show concern. Yet when 3000 of your people died, the entire world rises and has not yet sat down.

    (g) You have supported the Jews in their idea that Jerusalem is their eternal capital, and agreed to move your embassy there. With your help and under your protection, the Israelis are planning to destroy the Al-Aqsa mosque. Under the protection of your weapons, Sharon entered the Al-Aqsa mosque, to pollute it as a preparation to capture and destroy it.

    (2) These tragedies and calamities are only a few examples of your oppression and aggression against us. It is commanded by our religion and intellect that the oppressed have a right to return the aggression. Do not await anything from us but Jihad, resistance and revenge. Is it in any way rational to expect that after America has attacked us for more than half a century, that we will then leave her to live in security and peace?!!

    (3) You may then dispute that all the above does not justify aggression against civilians, for crimes they did not commit and offenses in which they did not partake:

    (a) This argument contradicts your continuous repetition that America is the land of freedom, and its leaders in this world. Therefore, the American people are the ones who choose their government by way of their own free will; a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies. Thus the American people have chosen, consented to, and affirmed their support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, the occupation and usurpation of their land, and its continuous killing, torture, punishment and expulsion of the Palestinians. The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their Government and even to change it if they want.

    (b) The American people are the ones who pay the taxes which fund the planes that bomb us in Afghanistan, the tanks that strike and destroy our homes in Palestine, the armies which occupy our lands in the Arabian Gulf, and the fleets which ensure the blockade of Iraq. These tax dollars are given to Israel for it to continue to attack us and penetrate our lands. So the American people are the ones who fund the attacks against us, and they are the ones who oversee the expenditure of these monies in the way they wish, through their elected candidates.

    (c) Also the American army is part of the American people. It is this very same people who are shamelessly helping the Jews fight against us.

    (d) The American people are the ones who employ both their men and their women in the American Forces which attack us.

    (e) This is why the American people cannot be not innocent of all the crimes committed by the Americans and Jews against us.

    (f) Allah, the Almighty, legislated the permission and the option to take revenge. Thus, if we are attacked, then we have the right to attack back. Whoever has destroyed our villages and towns, then we have the right to destroy their villages and towns. Whoever has stolen our wealth, then we have the right to destroy their economy. And whoever has killed our civilians, then we have the right to kill theirs.

    The American Government and press still refuses to answer the question:

    Why did they attack us in New York and Washington?

    If Sharon is a man of peace in the eyes of Bush, then we are also men of peace!!! America does not understand the language of manners and principles, so we are addressing it using the language it understands.

    (Q2) As for the second question that we want to answer: What are we calling you to, and what do we want from you?

    (1) The first thing that we are calling you to is Islam.

    (a) The religion of the Unification of God; of freedom from associating partners with Him, and rejection of this; of complete love of Him, the Exalted; of complete submission to His Laws; and of the discarding of all the opinions, orders, theories and religions which contradict with the religion He sent down to His Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Islam is the religion of all the prophets, and makes no distinction between them – peace be upon them all.

    It is to this religion that we call you; the seal of all the previous religions. It is the religion of Unification of God, sincerity, the best of manners, righteousness, mercy, honour, purity, and piety. It is the religion of showing kindness to others, establishing justice between them, granting them their rights, and defending the oppressed and the persecuted. It is the religion of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with the hand, tongue and heart. It is the religion of Jihad in the way of Allah so that Allah’s Word and religion reign Supreme. And it is the religion of unity and agreement on the obedience to Allah, and total equality between all people, without regarding their colour, sex, or language.

    (b) It is the religion whose book – the Quran – will remained preserved and unchanged, after the other Divine books and messages have been changed. The Quran is the miracle until the Day of Judgment. Allah has challenged anyone to bring a book like the Quran or even ten verses like it.

    (2) The second thing we call you to, is to stop your oppression, lies, immorality and debauchery that has spread among you.

    (a) We call you to be a people of manners, principles, honour, and purity; to reject the immoral acts of fornication, homosexuality, intoxicants, gambling’s, and trading with interest.

    We call you to all of this that you may be freed from that which you have become caught up in; that you may be freed from the deceptive lies that you are a great nation, that your leaders spread amongst you to conceal from you the despicable state to which you have reached.

    (b) It is saddening to tell you that you are the worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind:

    (i) You are the nation who, rather than ruling by the Shariah of Allah in its Constitution and Laws, choose to invent your own laws as you will and desire. You separate religion from your policies, contradicting the pure nature which affirms Absolute Authority to the Lord and your Creator. You flee from the embarrassing question posed to you: How is it possible for Allah the Almighty to create His creation, grant them power over all the creatures and land, grant them all the amenities of life, and then deny them that which they are most in need of: knowledge of the laws which govern their lives?

    (ii) You are the nation that permits Usury, which has been forbidden by all the religions. Yet you build your economy and investments on Usury. As a result of this, in all its different forms and guises, the Jews have taken control of your economy, through which they have then taken control of your media, and now control all aspects of your life making you their servants and achieving their aims at your expense; precisely what Benjamin Franklin warned you against.

    (iii) You are a nation that permits the production, trading and usage of intoxicants. You also permit drugs, and only forbid the trade of them, even though your nation is the largest consumer of them.

    (iv) You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object.

    Who can forget your President Clinton’s immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he ‘made a mistake’, after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations?

    (v) You are a nation that permits gambling in its all forms. The companies practice this as well, resulting in the investments becoming active and the criminals becoming rich.

    (vi) You are a nation that exploits women like consumer products or advertising tools calling upon customers to purchase them. You use women to serve passengers, visitors, and strangers to increase your profit margins. You then rant that you support the liberation of women.

    (vii) You are a nation that practices the trade of sex in all its forms, directly and indirectly. Giant corporations and establishments are established on this, under the name of art, entertainment, tourism and freedom, and other deceptive names you attribute to it.

    (viii) And because of all this, you have been described in history as a nation that spreads diseases that were unknown to man in the past. Go ahead and boast to the nations of man, that you brought them AIDS as a Satanic American Invention.

    (xi) You have destroyed nature with your industrial waste and gases more than any other nation in history. Despite this, you refuse to sign the Kyoto agreement so that you can secure the profit of your greedy companies and*industries.

    (x) Your law is the law of the rich and wealthy people, who hold sway in their political parties, and fund their election campaigns with their gifts. Behind them stand the Jews, who control your policies, media and economy.

    (xi) That which you are singled out for in the history of mankind, is that you have used your force to destroy mankind more than any other nation in history; not to defend principles and values, but to hasten to secure your interests and profits. You who dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan, even though Japan was ready to negotiate an end to the war. How many acts of oppression, tyranny and injustice have you carried out, O callers to freedom?

    (xii) Let us not forget one of your major characteristics: your duality in both manners and values; your hypocrisy in manners and principles. All*manners, principles and values have two scales: one for you and one for the others.

    (a)The freedom and democracy that you call to is for yourselves and for white race only; as for the rest of the world, you impose upon them your monstrous, destructive policies and Governments, which you call the ‘American friends’. Yet you prevent them from establishing democracies. When the Islamic party in Algeria wanted to practice democracy and they won the election, you unleashed your agents in the Algerian army onto them, and to attack them with tanks and guns, to imprison them and torture them – a new lesson from the ‘American book of democracy’!!!

    (b)Your policy on prohibiting and forcibly removing weapons of mass destruction to ensure world peace: it only applies to those countries which you do not permit to possess such weapons. As for the countries you consent to, such as Israel, then they are allowed to keep and use such weapons to defend their security. Anyone else who you suspect might be manufacturing or keeping these kinds of weapons, you call them criminals and you take military action against them.

    (c)You are the last ones to respect the resolutions and policies of International Law, yet you claim to want to selectively punish anyone else who does the same. Israel has for more than 50 years been pushing UN resolutions and rules against the wall with the full support of America.

    (d)As for the war criminals which you censure and form criminal courts for – you shamelessly ask that your own are granted immunity!! However, history will not forget the war crimes that you committed against the Muslims and the rest of the world; those you have killed in Japan, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon and Iraq will remain a shame that you will never be able to escape. It will suffice to remind you of your latest war crimes in Afghanistan, in which densely populated innocent civilian villages were destroyed, bombs were dropped on mosques causing the roof of the mosque to come crashing down on the heads of the Muslims praying inside. You are the ones who broke the agreement with the Mujahideen when they left Qunduz, bombing them in Jangi fort, and killing more than 1,000 of your prisoners through suffocation and thirst. Allah alone knows how many people have died by torture at the hands of you and your agents. Your planes remain in the Afghan skies, looking for anyone remotely suspicious.

    (e)You have claimed to be the vanguards of Human Rights, and your Ministry of Foreign affairs issues annual reports containing statistics of those countries that violate any Human Rights. However, all these things vanished when the Mujahideen hit you, and you then implemented the methods of the same documented governments that you used to curse. In America, you captured thousands the Muslims and Arabs, took them into custody with neither reason, court trial, nor even disclosing their names. You issued newer, harsher laws.

    What happens in Guatanamo is a historical embarrassment to America and its values, and it screams into your faces – you hypocrites, “What is the value of your signature on any agreement or treaty?”

    (3) What we call you to thirdly is to take an honest stance with yourselves – and I doubt you will do so – to discover that you are a nation without principles or manners, and that the values and principles to you are something which you merely demand from others, not that which you yourself must adhere to.

    (4) We also advise you to stop supporting Israel, and to end your support of the Indians in Kashmir, the Russians against the Chechens and to also cease supporting the Manila Government against the Muslims in Southern Philippines.

    (5) We also advise you to pack your luggage and get out of our lands. We desire for your goodness, guidance, and righteousness, so do not force us to send you back as cargo in coffins.

    (6) Sixthly, we call upon you to end your support of the corrupt leaders in our countries. Do not interfere in our politics and method of education. Leave us alone, or else expect us in New York and Washington.

    (7) We also call you to deal with us and interact with us on the basis of mutual interests and benefits, rather than the policies of sub dual, theft and occupation, and not to continue your policy of supporting the Jews because this will result in more disasters for you.

    If you fail to respond to all these conditions, then prepare for fight with the Islamic Nation. The Nation of Monotheism, that puts complete trust on Allah and fears none other than Him. The Nation which is addressed by its Quran with the words: “Do you fear them? Allah has more right that you should fear Him if you are believers. Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of believing people. And remove the anger of their (believers’) hearts. Allah accepts the repentance of whom He wills. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.” [Quran9:13-1]

    The Nation of honour and respect:

    “But honour, power and glory belong to Allah, and to His Messenger (Muhammad- peace be upon him) and to the believers.” [Quran 63:8]

    “So do not become weak (against your enemy), nor be sad, and you will be*superior ( in victory )if you are indeed (true) believers” [Quran 3:139]

    The Nation of Martyrdom; the Nation that desires death more than you desire life:

    “Think not of those who are killed in the way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are alive with their Lord, and they are being provided for. They rejoice in what Allah has bestowed upon them from His bounty and rejoice for the sake of those who have not yet joined them, but are left behind (not yet martyred) that on them no fear shall come, nor shall they grieve. They rejoice in a grace and a bounty from Allah, and that Allah will not waste the reward of the believers.” [Quran 3:169-171]

    The Nation of victory and success that Allah has promised:

    “It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad peace be upon him) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it victorious over all other religions even though the Polytheists hate it.” [Quran 61:9]

    “Allah has decreed that ‘Verily it is I and My Messengers who shall be victorious.’ Verily Allah is All-Powerful, All-Mighty.” [Quran 58:21]

    The Islamic Nation that was able to dismiss and destroy the previous evil Empires like yourself; the Nation that rejects your attacks, wishes to remove your evils, and is prepared to fight you. You are well aware that the Islamic Nation, from the very core of its soul, despises your haughtiness and arrogance.

    If the Americans refuse to listen to our advice and the goodness, guidance and righteousness that we call them to, then be aware that you will lose this Crusade Bush began, just like the other previous Crusades in which you were humiliated by the hands of the Mujahideen, fleeing to your home in great silence and disgrace. If the Americans do not respond, then their fate will be that of the Soviets who fled from Afghanistan to deal with their military defeat, political breakup, ideological downfall, and economic bankruptcy.

    This is our message to the Americans, as an answer to theirs. Do they now know why we fight them and over which form of ignorance, by the permission of Allah, we shall be victorious? ”

    Now, lets look inside ourselves as Wayne suggests and find what it takes to kick the ever loving sh*t out of these punks

    Truly sad.

    Pennie, you are truly the most sad and desperate for attention person I have ever seen. I truly hope you get some help.

    I remember I had just gotten up and was talking to a friend of mine on the phone after the first plane hit. People were still thinking it was an accident of some sort…until the next one hit. My stomach was in knots the entire day and I felt sick.

    I will never forget what happened that day nor how it made me feel. I’ll never forget the sight of those people leaping to their deaths to escape the pain of the approaching fire.

    May we never forget.

  • Jane says:

    Our President has signed a proclamation making this a National Service Day and it has been endorsed by Mayor Bloomberg. Personally, I am so glad to see this as a day of volunteerism because there have been so, so many horrible things done in this country in the last 8 years in the name of “justice for 9/11”. We need to right this ship.

  • Paul says:

    Well I think Obama did this whole National Day of Service or whatever to move the country out of the whole nationalism mantra of Patriot Day, which is a good thing. It doesn’t help our foreign policy efforts if one day a year we become angry all over again at Muslims around the world.

    Kate you should see a shrink if you are that broken up after 8 years.

  • Paul says:

    Geez Micky. Thanks for spamming the whole fricken blog with whatever that is. Put in a link or something next time and try to respect others who post here.

  • James says:

    I am a first time visitor here. I just wanted to tell you I just read this post http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=2029 that you did on the people that jumped from the WTC towers. It really broke me up but it was important for me to remember. I didn’t even think of some of that stuff. Thank you for doing the heavy lifting on that.

    Some of you who want to move past 9/11 are sick. Instead of us moving away from 9/11 you all move yourselves to one of those Muslim countries you so badly want to be friends with. Yea, I thought not.

    ‘Kate you should see a shrink if you are that broken up after 8 years.’

    paul thanks so much for your concern over my wellbeing.

    james nice to see you and thanks.

    ‘We need to right this ship.’

    indeed we do jane. you commies are really screwing things up.

  • Wow – vitriol even on a day like this. Who puts a time limit on grief anyway? People here who say it’s been long enough, move along now, clearly aren’t like Lorraine or myself – losing someone on 9/11/01.

    I honor Heather Lee Smith. She was the daughter of old friends. 30 years old, she had just set a wedding date with her fiance for October 2002. She along with 2,996 other innocent souls was murdered 8 years ago.

    It’s very clear that people like Jane, Pennie and Paul haven’t lost anyone they loved, let alone someone they loved to terrorists. Don’t tell us how to mourn or grieve or deal with our losses.

    On this one day of the year, have some respect for others. And if you can’t do that, you know silence is golden.

    great, join the army.

  • Jane says:

    That is hardly the comment of a “Commie” now is it?

  • Ken says:

    “We need to right this ship.”

    Sinking it isn’t righting it.

    “Put in a link or something next time and try to respect others who post here.”

    Paul talking about respecting others!!! Thanks for the laugh!!!

    “That is hardly the comment of a “Commie” now is it?”

    Nope, but this is:

    @ PenniePan, Wayne, and Dade:

    Does your idiocy know no bounds?

    Yes, we were attacked previously, and Clinton was so busy with his intern that the best he could manage was to bomb an aspirin plant. As noted above, in the al-Quaeda rant itself: (iv) You are a nation that permits acts of immorality, and you consider them to be pillars of personal freedom. You have continued to sink down this abyss from level to level until incest has spread amongst you, in the face of which neither your sense of honour nor your laws object.

    Who can forget your President Clinton’s immoral acts committed in the official Oval office? After that you did not even bring him to account, other than that he ‘made a mistake’, after which everything passed with no punishment. Is there a worse kind of event for which your name will go down in history and remembered by nations?

    It’s insane to consider 9/11 a response to our support of Israel vs. Palestinians. Who have you been listening to? Jimmuh Cahtah? Jimmuh figures that “Palestine” (Gaza) is surrounded and cut off from necessary supplies by Israel.

    The dork apparently forgets that Gaza shares a border with Egypt. And apparently you dorks don’t get it either.

    Nobody likes the “Palestinians”. Certainly, the Arab countries want nothing to do with them. In the present circumstance, they serve as a useful club for bashing Israel, but that’s as far as Arab “support” goes.

    Al Queda was set up by Osam bin Laden, a disaffected Saud who achieved great welath due to capitalism. He harbors a deep hatred of his homeland, and extended that to the USA. He and his followers hate America because (1) we don’t conform to their view of morality (see above quote), (2) they regarded President Clinton as an inept fool who emphasized self-gratification above all else (again, see above quote). On Clinton, they may have been correct. But they took that to the next level; assuming that as Americans voted him into office twice, all Americans must believe in accordance with Clinton.

    In a group like Al Queda, that is a reasonable assumption – because everybody in the group agrees with the leader. It reflects a lack of understanding in regard to how things work in our country.

    Americans may agree with Al Queda that Clinton was (and is) an immoral jerk, but we disagree in general with the fundamentalist Islamic view regarding the treatment of women as possessions, and we also tend to view sawing the head off a dissident as antithical to the more fundamental issue of human rights.

    America was founded upon the precept that all people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

    Fundamentalist Islamists such as bin Laden and his gang don’t understand such concepts; indeed, they run completely contrary to their religious views. Therefore, we should all be labelled as “infidels”, and summarily executed. They believe that their god will glorify them for their efforts.

    By contrast, as Todd Beamer said into his cell phone on flight 93, “God forgive us for what we have to do”.

    Nobody here is wearing sackcloth and ashes, any more than when on Memorial Day, we recognize the people who fought and died so that you remain free to say stupid things.

  • micky says:

    PaUL, if it bugs you so much scroll past it.
    Somethings need to be linked, that needs to be read so you morons might stop with the “its our fault” or “cant we all just get along” crap

  • drmwvr says:

    If the President wants to honor the victims of 9/11 there is a better idea thats been floating out there other then another volunteer day. The President can arrest Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and those who tortured indiscriminately and frog march them to the closest prison; he can once and for all close Gitmo now; and he can give us a strong Public Option no matter what the cost.

  • Ken says:

    “If the President wants to honor the victims of 9/11 there is a better idea thats been floating out there other then another volunteer day.”

    Agreed. He could arrest Clinton, Sandy “Burglar”, and Albright for their failure to do their number 1 job required by the Constitution, which is protecting American citizens.

  • micky says:

    Pennie, I swear, you’re the dumbest fricken broad I’ve ever run into.
    You really are an embarassment to people in general.
    Do think I or Ian gives a rats a$$ what you think ? Or the many people who’ve succumbed to drugs and booze because of 911 ?
    What would be the purpose of me lying when the reference could apply to anyone ? huh dummy ?
    Just remember that its those with contempt prior to investigation who are in fact the liars unless and until they can prove their claims. That would be you.

    And Jane, SFW ? I can pull a bunch of benign Obama quotes too
    I can cherry pick quotes from Obama that make him sound like Bush, nice try

  • Rope says:

    drmwvr spoken like a true koolaid drinker, NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.

  • micky says:

    Here Pennie, google United Airline heroes.

    “There is a Milo tree planted in her memory here at Magic Island, in the Ala Moana Beach Park in Honolulu, along with a Memorial Bench erected in her memory by the Mayor’s Office. The site where the tree and bench reside looks out over the ocean and is in absolutely a beautiful spot; Chris loved Hawaii, our beautiful environment and was passionate about keeping our “aina” (the land) precious and sacred.

    Ian and Chris were not only beloved husband and wife, they were soul mates. Chris was such a presence of LIGHT wherever she went that everyone she knew always remembered her even after one introduction — and she is missed terribly. We found that reading about this plane load of very special, very brave people — about every single one of them, brought us closer to Chris and helped us heal a bit more. ”

    I never met Chris but I had to deal with Ian for 2 years after she was killed.
    I dont lie…
    ever

  • Rope says:

    Micky I don’t think you have to justify losing a friend in the horrible events of 9/11 to someone like penni, paul, or jane. Compassion is a human emotion which most of us feel over the pain others are in. Judging from the post made by penni and the crew I’m betting between them all they couldn’t muster up one ounce of compassion. To me all you have to do is watch the families of those lost on that terrible day in 2001. Listen to the little boy wearing his father’s police department hat, listen to the man who’s last words from his wife was “remember I love you with all my heart”, listen to the mother that still watches the door like her son will walk through it at any moment. It’s beyond my comprehension how anyone can think they can tell others how, when, or how long they are to mourn. Get over it, it doesn’t happen like that. Forget it and move on, sometimes I wish I could.

  • PenniePan says:

    Micky said: “my buddy Ian who lost his fiancee on flight 93.”

    The article said: “Ian and Chris were not only beloved husband and wife, they were soul mates.”

    Now Micky you either LIED or you really didn’t know Ian very well after all or “worked with him” for 2 years. People KNOW the difference if their friend is married or engaged. You are so needy. You have to have a story about everything. It’s really pathetic. Don’t you get enough attention from loved ones?

  • micky says:

    Pennie, Google Chrisine Snyder and after that you can answer my question as to whether or not it would matter ifI knes him or not.
    You ignorant butt this is not about me, its about you answering the question if it would matter if I knew him or not. Would it ?
    I f*ckin dare you to take your asinine insensitive and cruel statements to someone who lost a loved one on 911, I dare you.
    Why dont you for once in your pathetic existence have fact to base your sh*t on before you open that hole of yours?
    In this country its those that make the accusation that must prove the lie. My saying fincee or wife hardly makes a case that I didnt know Ian.
    I haved loved ones.
    You have people who simply tolerate you, but I can think of three right of the bat that would never want you for a wife or a fiancee ever again.

    loser

  • micky says:

    Yeah Rope.
    Its because they think our rage should be focused inward (only if you’re a conservative) otherwise you’re not giving the poor terrorist (freedom fighters)their due.
    They really are a dispicable bunch that wouldnt of faired very well in my precense not too long ago. If she said that sh*t to my face with a couple shots in me 15 years ago I’d still be in jail for what I would of done to her.
    nasty people

  • micky says:

    Sorry everyone, I really shouldnt of let that b*tch drag me or anyone else down today.
    Screw her, lets think about those that matter

  • Ken says:

    You know the one thing that I do remember was how EVERYONE came together after the attacks. We weren’t conservatives or liberals, we weren’t Republicans and Liberals, we weren’t Muslims or Christians.

    We were Americans. Its so sad that it takes something like that to bring us all together.

  • micky says:

    Amen Ken

    NO MATTER WHAT THE COST???!!!! You, sir or madam, are an IDIOT to say that!

    … no matter what the cost… sheesh… What if it cost $900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000? Then what? OK, I guess??

    what an idiot.

  • Gypsy says:

    I have a question for the blog owner Kate. Why is Micky allowed to ridicule, mock, insult, and demean everyone on this blog who disagrees with him, without consequences? Even if someone challenges what he writes, w/o calling him a name, insults. He cannot talk to anyone with a different point of view without crudeness and namecalling. He is foul and nasty.

    Is this a blog where liberals are welcome? If they are welcomed, why are they treated differently, with more rights to be nasty?

    You deleted my post yesterday and it was far less offensive then several Micky has written to PenniePan.

    Do you only want conservatives to hang out here and agree with each other, patting yourselves on the back over this or that? How boring.

  • Gypsy says:

    “with more rights to be nasty? ”

    Should say LESS rights to be nasty

  • Paul says:

    Gypsy don’t bother. They just let those of us who don’t march lockstep with them on here for the entertainment value only proving they live miserable lives.

    “PaUL, if it bugs you so much scroll past it.”

    Micky oh sure except it takes a week to scroll past it, not to mention the bandwith it sucks up for the blog. But whatever.

    “Somethings need to be linked, that needs to be read”

    I assure no one, not on your side or mine, read that. I bet no one in your family has ears because you’ve talked them all off.

  • micky says:

    I dont know Gypsy,maybe its because I actually try to stay on topic but to no avail cuz of people like you.
    Your exchabge with me over healthcare being a right quickly turned into a personal attack because you were wrong.

    just a hunch

  • micky says:

    Oops, my bad again, bad editing.

    Micky oh sure except it takes a week to scroll past it, not to mention the bandwith it sucks up for the blog. But whatever. ”

    Whatever ?
    Oh, so let ,me get this right.
    You and your moonbat buddies can come here and post miles of disrespectful irrelevant crap on a day like today, launch personal attacks and cry about bandwith when I post something of relevance to the topic ?
    Wise up.

    “I assure no one, not on your side or mine, read that. I bet no one in your family has ears because you’ve talked them all off.”

    I’m willing to bet that at least two people on this thread have read Bin Ladens letter to America at least once, judging by their grasp of the issue, which you have none of. That letter should be mandatory reading for every kid in every history clas starting at 6th grade. Maybe then we wouldnt have half the idiots we have running around pathetically thinking we can deal with, apologize to or appease these monsters.
    Are you aware that radical Islams doctrine is an exact derivative of the ww2 Nazi doctrine ? And that besides the Koran Mine Kampf is the largets selling publication in the entire middle east. Predominantly in Turkey, Libya, Yemen, Egypt, Indonesia and Pakistan ?
    You guys know nothing to the point that when you open your yaps you all sound like this is a battle between two high school football teams where the answer is to declare everyone a winner, give everyone a trophy, there is no good guy, no bad guy, just a bunch of misunderstood people.
    Well bullsh*t buddy !
    We are the good guys, we did nothing wrong except take it for grantite whithin a liberal administration that these guys wanted peace as much as you do.
    They hate you and Obama as much as they ever hated anyone and you all thought you could win by kissing their asses and as it turns out that ass had teeth and they told you and your messiah to get screwed
    Its your thinking, your administration that in 6 short months or less brought this whole countrys defenses down and returned us to pre 911 mentallity thats going to get more Americans killed. As a matter of fact it has. Afghanistan is now a bigger fricken mess with the highest casualty rates that its ever had no thinks to Obama.

    So dont go telling me that my post takes up too much bandwith as it clearly makes it evident where you and your deranged buddies concerns truly are at

  • Chris says:

    Can none of you stop the bashing even on 9/11?

    Micky you are just as bad as these crazy liberals! You say to honor our dead and then turn around and start arguing again. IGNORE THEM at least on 9/11.

    THIS IS SHAMEFUL.

    They will always be hateful. We are better then that and them.

    On 9/11. I chose to honor the lost and for that one day alone I will not take their foul smelling bait..

  • micky says:

    I’ll apologized again Chris but I believe since I apologized last I’ve done my best to honor the victims by not letting them get away with their crap rhetoric while at the same time letting them know exactly who the enemy is.
    I see this as a funeral for a loved one. If you come around talking crap during services i’m going to do my best to make sure you get educated and dont walk away unscathed.
    Your hearts in the right place, maybe you’re a better man than I am, but I cant tolerate this sh*t. I’d come flying outta my grave if it were my memorial, but its not.
    So all I can do is approach from what i think should be done
