It is a miracle that the United Nations Security Counsel actually got something done toward an aggressor nation. Most of the time, the U.N. is very ineffective, especially when it is the U.S. attempting to get a resolution passed. Unortunately, once again, Russia and China has stopped the tough sanctions that should have been passed from going through. Again, for their own self-serving agendas. This is why nothing gets done where Iran is concerned. As a result of all of this, the Korean War is destined to restart.

  North Korea is bent on defying the rest of the world. There are two viable options. War or punishing them with severe enough sanctions, that the government collapses. Enter China's primary reason for not wanting to push North Korea too hard. China doesn't want the refugees and the rest of the fall-out which, comes with a collapsed nation. North Korea wants to isolate itself from the rest of the world. They should be isolated in every sense of the word. Strangle the governement and wait for its death. Why shouldn't it die? So many other citizens have been murdered by the "nut" in power there. North Korea has to be the most oppressive nation on the planet, making being under a system of communism, almost a delightful experience.

  The solution to China is to allow Japan to build nuclear weapons to protect themselves from the North Korean threat. Japan is more than able to do so and may be forced to ignore their pacifist constitution to make it happen. Who could fault them for doing so when they are right in the line of fire with North Korea? China would become alarmed immediately and it would start to better to them to deal with the refugee issue of a failed regime,than having their old rival going nuclear so close to their borders. The Russians would also follow suit because Japan would be a force to be reckoned with and have a formidable nuclear deterrent.

 The world would be a lot safer if the nations did everything possible to destroy Kim Jun Il's regime through the toughest sanctions available. The second option puts the world on the brink of nuclear disaster as during the Cuban Missle Crisis.

 The war option to take out North Korea's government is far more dangerous and could have consequences on a global scale. This scenario is ripe for escalation events to occur, that could trigger a wider war that goes nuclear. There would be no safe guards against keeping the nukes to the Asian theater.
 
 If it comes to war, it would be the U.S. leading the charge with primarily the use of the Airforce and the Navy. The U.S. could bomb North Korea back into the stone age but it wouldn't win the war. There would need to be a ground operation joining the South Koreans and this would be the bloodiest war since the Vietnam conflict. The losses could be incredible because if nuclear weapons are used the thought of how many soldiers could be lost with a single blow is nightmarish to say the least.
 
 The U.S. still has the might to show the world that it is capable of fighting a multiple front war. This would be historical as the U.S. have never simultaneously fought a war on three fronts. The major problem, is that most of the Army branch of the military is tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. The U.S would have to conside using tactical nuclear weapons. If this turns out not to be an option, Japan would have to directly mobilize and enter the war.

  With Russia and China sitting on the side lines watching the war unfold, would the U.S. have to worry about how much force it was using to prevent escalation of the war as in Vietnam? We would indeed. I find it very hard to believe that with the use of tactical nuclear weapons in such close proximity to Russia and China, would not draw them into the war which could erupt into a full fledged nuclear conflict. This could be the case even if North Korea was the first to use the bomb. The war would turn into the U.S./Japan/South Korea vs. China/Russia. Three nations armed with nuclear weapons on opposite sides could spell the end of much of civilization

 It would be hard to predict how the other major nations would react such as those in the European Union, which belong to NATO. If the U.S. should come under nuclear attack, the NATO charter states that Europe should intervene on our behalf. These nations are armed with nuclear weapons as well.

 There is no doubt that the U.S. could prevail in a war against North Korea. I don't know if all of the uncertainties of the other players involved makes it safe for the rest of the world. I hope that the next major player in this game will be Japan. What Japan decides to do next in regard to their security concerns with North Korea could make all the difference in pushing China into unison with the rest of the world, avoiding war.

  I think that I have heard about as much as I can stand about the Mark Foley situation. The Democrats have found themselves a bone to run with, right through the elections. They can take a sigh of relief because now, they have the smokescreen to keep from addressing the real issues facing America. I can see them dancing in the halls of the Capitol.

  I must first state that Nancy Pelosi is the biggest hypocrite on Capitol Hill. It is absolutely incredulous how she was spouting her trash about caring for the children. If it wasn’t so laughable and one didn’t know better about her track record, it would almost be credible.

  Pelosi, if I am not mistaken, threw all her support behind another gentlemen in congress some time ago,that did more than send inappropriate emails to a teenager. He in fact had a sexual relationship with the teen and went on to be promoted and supported by not only Pelosi, but others in the party. Some people need to look more closely at the person staring back at them in their mirrors daily.

  While the Democrats are caring so much for the welfare of the children in our nation, why is it that the public school districts are in such deplorable condition? After all, the Democrats have so much control and influence over these inner city areas.

   I feel that I must rebuke some of my fellow Republicans in the country as well. Some are talking about punishing the party because of Foley’s antics and voting for the Democrats, to teach them a lesson. I say that this is unbelievably irresponsible and childish. Not only would the person be mistreating his sacred vote, he would be neglecting the belief systems associated with being a conservative.

  What the Republican Party stands for has to be the center of how we cast our votes. It goes to the core of who we are as people and the things that we stand for which brought us to the Party. As human beings, we are all fallible, but the entire conservative movement should not pay the price.

  Let’s take a look at what’s at stake in the United States and determine if the Democrats should be in charge. What does the Democratic Party stand for? We have a couple of Supreme Court positions that may be ahead for the President to fill. Democrats would support the far left agenda. This agenda supports amnesty for illegal aliens, to cross our borders, steal American jobs, and enjoy the benefits of citizenry without having to assimilate our culture and values. The left agenda supports continuing to murder unborn children no matter what stage of development the child is, right up to the point of passing through the birth canal. The left wants to “cut and run” from our enemies and play the appeasement game as Nancy Pelosi confirmed in a recent speech. They would change the makeup of the family as we all know It, by allowing marriage to be redefined to fit whatever feels good and suits the individual. Most urgent, in my opinion, is that the left would support and give free reign to “Satan’s Crafty Minions” over at the ACLU. If the ACLU has it way, there will be no hint of God in our nation. The Judeo-Christian values our nation was founded upon would disappear forever.

  Bill O’Reilly’s book “Culture Warrior.” is a must read for every conservative. He states the struggle we are in better than I could ever hope to. It puts the fear of God into one’s soul to see how the liberal agenda, or as the liberals now like to refer to themselves as “progressives,” is seeking to destroy the very fabric of what we hold dear.

  I don’t know if I am angrier or have more pity toward Mark Foley for what he has done. He has put the conservative movement at risk, along with anyone else that may prove to have covered up his improprieties.  I am sure that he doesn’t need any more condemnation from me. If you can imagine for just one minute what it must be like to be in his shoes right now. He is a disgraced politician that may be facing criminal charges. He may be the sole cause of the Republicans losing the majority in congress. Then there is his personal life, with loved ones, associates, etc. Sometimes, the personal fall out from one’s actions is the worse punishment that can be exacted on the person. So, I think it is c he should seek help. First, by taking off the blinders and seeing that his professed alcohol problem is a separate issue from what truly plagues him. It makes it easy for his other demons to come forth. Mr. Foley has my prayers not my approval. We would all do well to remember that we don’t have to love the sin but love the sinner after, all that is what we all are in one way or another.

  I pray that the urgency of this message gets through to the conservative base and they get out there in November to protect our nation at the polls. If I have to listen to Nancy Pelosi at the podium as House Leader, I may have to leave the country until the travesty passes.

 

 No longer will the Democratic Party take my vote for granted. I plan to spread the word to as many African-Americans I can.  Yes, I am a Black Republican. I have seen the error of my ways.

 The problem with the black community, is that we vote blindly for democrats. I have because of family traditions, going back all the way to the civil rights movement under the false perception, that democrats are for blacks and republicans are not. It was not until I decided to open my eyes and examine what it was that I stood for. What were my values? After this, the question was, what party reflected my values most?

  I voted for George W. Bush during his run for reelection, primarily, because he had christian values and opposed abortion. However, I was still uncomfortable with voting republican after so many years of traditional loyalty. I went on to learn more about conservatism and the fact that it stands for personal responsibility, not relying on government to take care of the ills of the world, nor the problems of the individual. Government should play a smaller role in Americans' lives. Many conservatives tend to have christian values and do not believe in changing traditions on which this country was founded. For example, the definition of marriage being between a man and a woman. Democrats would make alterations to that to please their voting base,which contains the gay and lesbian population.

 Democrats have had reign over our school systems across the country over time and they have done nothing but put them into a state of poverty with low standards for learning. Many inner city school systems are made up of heavy African- American populations. Do they deserve our votes for this?

 Democrats traditionally support inner-city programs for the poor that gives out food and clothing. Where are the programs and the teachers that will promote self-sufficiency?
 Going all the way back to slavery, blacks survived and made progress with civil rights because of its deep rooted beliefs in christianity. We believe that God is needed in our society but what are the liberals doing at every opportunity? They vote to rid our society of any trace of God. What party do you suppose groups like the destructive ACLU votes for?

 Unfortunately, many blacks give into supporting constant reversed discrimination, hatred and intolerance that our so called "black leaders" teach, such as,the Rev. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Instead of blacks being upset with the recent message that Bill Cosby has preached, they should see that the "Sharptons" and Jacksons" of today are nothing but old post civil rights movement relics. They are keeping the peoples heads in the wrong direction, filled with bitterness, hatred, and blame. Instead, they should be telling blacks that we have to take responsibility for our survival and realize our own short comings. This is what Bill Cosby courageously stood up and told audiences recently.

 Yes, we still live in an imperfect society. Yes, racism still exists, but it can't be the "boogey man" that we use for every failure or missed opportunities that we experience in our lives. Blacks have to remember what Christ stood for. Would He agree with the indoctrination that the black leaders of today are taking part in?

 I will continue to vote for the GOP because the very fabric of our society is at risk. I can not in good conscience vote for a party that is anti-American and antichristian. We have to stand up and take responsibility for ourselves, our actions, and make contributions to our nation. We cannot behave in a manner that the USA owes us.

 I don't know about anyone else in America, but I for one have had it with these demons in the muslim world. Where is the chaos going to end I wonder?

 It is their so called sacred holiday of Ramadan and what is their response? Let's blow ourselves and others up and turn it in a day of rage and jihad. If there was ever people with a one-track mind these pyschos are them.

 I refuse to be like so many others in the world that are adapting a new culture of walking on egg shells around muslims. I am enraged by the whole concept. I have my faith as they do, and that is in Jesus Christ. I'll be damned if I will go around being afraid to voice that I want no part of a faith that promotes blowing people up, if they disagree with its viewpoints.

 The United States is founded on Judeo-Christian values and it is high time that we not be afraid to voice that, it is not good to kill innocent people because they don't believe in Muhammad's message, nor his methods of killing people that refuse Islam.
 I find that I have to struggle with my inner thoughts and feelings so that I don't become filled with the hatred that muslims spread toward our way of life. This has to be accomplished with faith and a belief in what Jesus Christ stood for. People were free to walk away from what He was teaching and they did. They didn't have to worry about having their head sawed of and waved in the air with victory.

 Chrisitanity certainly has it's dark past of death and destruction but the issue is, where is Christianity going now? What direction is the faith going? Islam is going backward in time, not forward, and not for the good.  It seems to me that these jihadists don't believe much in anything but behaving like demonic possessed people that love carnage and death.

 How does muslims respond to the fact that these fanatics, within their own faith, have gone far beyond killing the so called infidels? They are killing their own people in Iraq. Maybe I am confused but I thought there was an unbreakable brotherhood amongst muslims.

 As unreal as it seems, we are in a struggle for modern civilization. The Democrats and Liberals refuse to acknowledge what we face and continue to attack George W. Bush's policies. They however, never offer any constructive methods to address the situation. I don't know which group makes me more ill, these narcissistic muslims or the Democrats and their constant whining.

 Some of us have to come face to face with reality to get the point sometimes. I bet any Liberal that happens to get captured, as others have by the jihadists, and are fortunate to make it out alive with their head attached, they will no longer insist on this ridiculous notion of "let's leave them alone and they will leave us alone." But, I digress, this current situation is not going away anytime soon, so Americans need to take a stand.

 Let us spend time praying for our nation and even the muslims who claim to be good people. I believe that they are the key to halting this extremism in their midst, by rising up and telling these nut jobs, that they will no longer stand for the corruption of their faith. As of yet, the muslims are not doing that. I suspect that many won't because they believe, in their hearts, what Muhammad stood for and that was and is killing anyone that refuses to cozy up to Islam.

 In the end, I would like to see that with all that I see wrong in this world and in the muslim faith, I responded with prayer to my God and believing, that is the most powerful thing I can do as a christian.

On September 11, 2001, it was a beautiful and bright day in Cleveland, Ohio. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and this kind of day usually put me in a upbeat mood, but this day, I had this awful feeling that something was looming. I couldn't figure it out or shake the feeling. It was 7:00 am. I usually go to the metro park to spend time in prayer and Bible study, near the Cleveland suburb of Parma. I remember praying before I even got there because I was feeling almost afraid. I didn't know if I thought something was going to happen to me or a loved one.   I was driving down Ridge Rd. listening to morning radio talk shows and on some of these, there is a lot of humor and sarcasm. The person on the radio around 8:55 am came on and stated that a plane or something had hit one of the towers of the World Trade Center. He had said this in a tone that didn't strike me as urgent but almost amazingly in a matter-of-fact manner. I was appalled, thinking, where do thess people draw the lines in their attempts to be funny or amusing? I didn't realize this was truly happening. I turned the radio off.   Around 9:10 am , I turned the radio back on, a mile from my destination. On another radio station, the announcement came that another plane has hit the other World Trade Center Tower. I stopped and noticed that everyone in the surrounding automobiles were on cell phones, I mean everyone.   I thought about how I had taken my mother a couple of months ago to New York and we went to the top of one of the Towers. It was her first time and my second time. I skipped the park and went to a nearby friends and marched to the television where he my buddy was already tuned into CNN. He said America is under attack!   I can never fully describe the emotions and disbelief I felt as everything unfolded, the  Pentagon was hit, no time to take in earlier events. I was dizzy and developed a horrible headache. It suddently hit me, my God was this what I felt coming this morning? I went on to pray telling God that I knew there were a lot of terrified people out there, some probably already dead and these people needed Him today more than they ever have. America needed Him more than it ever has. Don't abandon us in our time of need, I thought. My faith with feelings of helplessness set in as my friend and I wondered how much more was to come.   Later, I called my mother to tell her how much I loved her and she was in shock unable to grasp, that her and I were atop one of those towers that were, by that time, no more but collapsed tons of rubble. Tears came to my eyes as I told her, Mom, if we were there today, at least we would have been together right up to the end.   Today, I called a friend of mine that I have known since high school. She is a guidance counselor now but was a teacher of mine in eleventh grade and we have ben friends ever since. I remembered talking with her  on 9/11, she was concerned for her son who was attending college in New York and lived not far from the World Trade Center. She heard from her son later and he was fine. I just wanted to thank her for what has amounted to almost a life time of support.   Today, I went to a local fire house and shook the same hands of the fire fighters I shook the week of  9/11/01. This is an annual event now. I thank them for what they do and that I will never forget.   God Bless America!

  This is the fifth anniversary of the tragic day, September 11, 2001, on which Islamic fanatics sought to strike a blow to the American way of life. Three thousand lives were cut short by that strike. Fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, husbands, wives. Some died while others were left to mourn. On this anniversary, I would like to honor and remember a single victim, IOURI  A. MOUCHINSKI .

   Iouri Mouchinski was 55 years old. He was chasing a dream of starting his own engineering business, living to be 100, and a country home where he could keep bees and care for his grandchildren. He was a successful civil engineer in the Ukraine but left this position in 1994 to come to America and start an engineering business. At the time, he had four employees on board. He was dedicated to the success of the business by working daily and on weekends.

   According to Mr. Mouchinski's daughter Iryna Ushakova, he had the good health and vigor of a 30-year-old. He was a student of Eastern philosophy and believed in the unity of the soul, body , and the world around him. Mrs. Ushakova stated that her father often fasted to cleanse himself.

   On the morning of September 11, 2001, Mr. Mouchinski was at the World Trade Center, not to because he worked there, but because he was picking up a check from someone he had done work for through his business.
   Mr. Mouchinkski is survived by his daughter Iryna, his grandchildren , and his wife, Natalia Muchinska. She called her husband, "my precious." She stated in a stanza of a poem she wrote to him:

I want to continue
Our life
And keep you always
In my consciousness!

   In memorium, I salute Iouri A. Mouchinski, this week of September 11, 2006. The sadness and the shock of that day is as fresh for me now as it was five years ago. The disbelief that that such evil can exist in men. Evil that took an unsuspecting man from his life and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Mouchinski's family. May God bless them and our great nation where so many come to pursue dreams.

 I am always amazed at the calls that come through during talk radio shows that I listen to. One of my favorites, The Michael Medved Show.

 Mr. Medved recently did a show on the cosnspiracy theories floating around about 9/11. It is absolutely incredulous how many American citizens called in stating that they believed that the American Government was responsible for the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York City. Some suggested that the government knew the attacks were coming and allowed them to happen. You would naturallly ask yourself why this would be? The caller responses seemed convinced, this was George W. Bush's excuse to go to war in Iraq.

 I feel compelled to express my outrage with these uninformed individuals. How could anyone live in such a country that has a government which is capable of plotting to massacre thousands of its citizens? In my view, it is treason to have such a low regard for a place you call home. Worse yet, speaking out in such a manner during a time of war.
 It is probably true in some cases that some of these "enemies of the state," have not had an original thought in their life. Let us just repeat what someone else said and not have anything to defend the supposition with solid facts, and not conjecture.

 We enjoy freedoms, unlike anywhere else in the world and this remains so, from the spilled blood of countless individuals. Those people who believe such evil things about he governement and can show no nationalism, at least, in a time of war, I have a solution. Get out, leave, pack up, head for the border! These people are as bad as the terrorist that seek to destroy our way of life. They take too much for granted. They should be given one-way tickets to the Sudan, or Iran.  Why stay in a place and live in fear of your government?

 Perhaps I shouldn't allow a rise in my blood pressure listening to these individuals. Most of us know the saying, "the empties barrells...." I love this country and as Michael Medved states on his daily broadcasts, "this is the greatest nation on God's green earth." This fact remains true, even when I don't agree with policy decisions of government, even when the candidate I would choose fails to become president. I love this country even more when so many nations announce that they don't like us, because then it is true, that we must be doing something right in the world. Regardless of our personal opinions toward Democrat or Republican, Liberal, or Conservative, we must support our nation and what it stands for. A divided house fails to stand.

  It all comes down to the line Tom Cruise recited in the film "Born on the Fourth of July, " Love it or leave it!" It is as simple as that. This country has enough enemies.

  The War on Terror we face today comes down to a war of faiths. This war is one calling for world domination.  It is not one for obtaining territories but of establishing a single faith and that is Islam. This struggle has already set the stage for World War III.  Let’s examine the issues involved.

  What has been referred to as a radical Islamic movement, includes people who at, the core, despise America and Israel. You will see, that there is nothing radical at all about  what the terrorists are doing in the name of Islam. At the very center of Islamic fundamentalism, is nothing more than a call for domination and murder. America and Israel comprise the largest populations that follow Judeo-Christianity. This is no coincidence that we are at the top of the list of targets to be annihilated.

  It is stated, usually after a terrorist attack occurs in the world, that most followers of Islam are peace loving people that deplore violence against other people. This may in fact be the true, but what is fact is that Islam is not a religion that calls for peace. Let’s look at its founder, Muhammad. He slaughtered thousands of people in establishing the spread of Islam. Muhammad told his followers that he had been told by Allah to fight against those that will not accept the faith. The book of faith, the Quran is seen as superceding the Judeo- Christian Bible, calling for conversion or be referred to as an infidel and be killed.

 Muhammad had two significant stages of his life documented. The first stage is where many today get the idea that Islam is a peaceful religion. While in Mecca, Muhammad decided that while preaching his revelations from Allah to people, that a peaceful religion would be a good way to attract people to the faith, especially the Jewish people. When Muhammad saw that this was not successful he laid down a new way to achieve his goal. The new method was to be jihad or holy war and from this point, he went out to convert unbelievers with a sword.

Islamic terrorists are not being radical or fanatical. They are just following the teachings of their faiths founder, Muhammad. Such are the teachings of the Quran:

 The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter. SURAH  5:33

Fight and slay the Pagans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every strategem (of war). SURAH  9:5

  The Liberals in this country bash President Bush and the war in Iraq. They scream about peace and appeasement with these terrorists. The only answer to true peace with them is giving up everything America provides such as a little thing like freedom to choose and concede to be governed by Islam.  Holding hands and singing “let’s all get along,” will not save your life.

  Jihad has reached global proportions. There have been terrorist attacks on countries such as Indonesia, Spain, England, India, and of course, the United States. The terrorists are waging a war unlike anything in modern history. We face an enemy that fights in the shadows and has what seems to be, an unending supply of recruitments.

  Whether we like it or not, these countries that sponsor terrorism such as Iran, has already established alliances that will be in the upcoming world war. Iran being the lead antagonist, with the proxy war it participated in with Syria, supporting Hezbollah in war against Israel. From the stirrings n the United Nations, we saw that Iran has support from countries such as Russia and China whether it be for financial or energy motivations. Throw in North Korea and the United Nations itself, motivated by its anger with America for not bowing to its mandates.

  On the other side of the aisle we have the United States and her allies England, Israel, and Japan. The European Union is negligible because it seems content like the left wingers here, to dwell in denial and seek appeasement with the enemy, blinded to the growing Muslim population it currently has already. The only thing this Union can be counted on to do, is to denounce the U.S. at every turn.

  The noteworthy ally here is Japan. Japan faces a direct threat from North Korea. The U.S. military commitments spread thin over the globe, therefore, Japan sees its only alternative for security is a resurgent militarization. Militarization is forbidden in the Japanese Constitution, established at the end of World War II. Despite this, Japan may see widespread support from its citizens and the U.S. may look the other way and see it as an asset in what will be inevitable clashes with North Korea and Iran. At best guess, the allies of Iran and North Korea will enter the conflict bringing W.W III well underway.

  Iranian President Ahmadenijad’s obsession with wiping Israel from the map will be at the center of the war. A possible scenario to achieve this goal may be to find a way to prevent the U.S. from coming to Israel’s aid. Then forge ahead, with its allies, after Israel. How this could come about is frightening to say the least, and could very well be a nuclear strike on America.

  For those that are of Judeo-Christian faith, you will probably recognize this scenario as one playing out in the Bible in the Book of Ezekiel. I am convinced watching world events that the stage is set for a war of biblical proportions

  The sad thing for the U.S,. is that we are a divided people already at war. The left has yet to even acknowledge that our nation and way of life is facing a threat unlike anything we have before. 9/11 is viewed only as a result of bad U.S. foreign policy. I have lost hope of ever shaking them to mainstream reality. The political divisions do not bode well for this great nation in the upcoming struggle. Pardon the cliché, “United we stand, divided we fall!"

   I don’t know if it is obvious to anyone else as they go about their daily lives, that people just are not as friendly or as caring as they were for a short period during and after 9/11/01.

  People were sporting American flags on the cars and outside of their homes. They were shaking hands of our police and firefighters. Was it my imagination or were people politer on the expressways and local streets where cars were nearly rear-ending one another to stop and let another driver merge into traffic or turn out of a driveway? I noticed a considerable drop in that middle finger being displayed at other drivers, myself included.

  The remainder of 2001, I observed people talking in masses at the grocery stores and there was a lot hugging going on. It reminded me of Mister Roger’s Neighborhood. While it was most likely the worst Christmas in December 2001, for the families of the victims that died that tragic day, it was one of the best for others who counted blessings and were glad to be together, even with those in-laws for the holiday.

  I can’t recall the person that first said, “All good things must come to an end, ” but it was right on the money. Here we are five years later. We have all of the conspiracy theories abound about our government allowing those terrorist attacks to occur and deliberately blowing up the Twin Towers, hence making the U.S. Government mass murderers. There is the Bush-bashing going on especially from the left with no acknowledgement that we haven’t been attacked for five years on our own soil. Who deserves some of the credit for that?

 I have my issues with the Bush Administration, especially with the border security and how it relates to the safety of America, yet doesn’t receive the priority it deserves. Even those furthest on the left would be at best delusional if they can’t concede that something is being done the right way.

 As far as the ordinary citizenry, we are a lot less friendly on the roadways. I see a resurgence of that middle finger in use. People are being rear ended because they refuse to go 30 miles over the speed limits on the expressways. I experience daily, waiting for several minutes to merge into traffic within the annual construction zones. There are not as many porches in my area displaying “Ole Glory” and even less within automobiles. We are now officially at war and this is a time to display our flags.

 I don’t know if this is indigenous to American Society, or not, but it seems like we have such short memories of tragedy. It is as if we need calamity to strike on a regular basis to bring out the best in ourselves. For this reason, I don’t comprehend when it is said, that it is too soon for the movie “World Trade Center.”

 It is very well possible that it may not be within our ability to rise above our self-centeredness and belief that the world revolves around us. Nevertheless, I still have hope for the human race and just pray that if each person does nothing else for this tragic anniversary, take a few moments to pray for the loved ones left behind that day and look up a name of a victim who will have no more anniversaries. Take a minute to learn who they were and what they did.

 I personally plan to participate in the “2,996 Victims Tribute of 9/11, which I will post on this site by the anniversary. If you want to do something meaningful check this site out, http://www.dcroe.com/2996/ 

 Celebrate the lives of the victims, giving no time to those terrorists responsible. I am certain they received their just reward when they woke up in hell with their allah.
May God Bless America.

 

 After reading Hugh Hewitt's article on forbiding water bottles in the airports, I was just infuriated and once again, feel like our government has failed us miserably.
 Why do we as Americans allow the Bush Administration to feed us a daily diet of fear and expect us to support our foreign endeavors when it refuses to take care of the crisis at home, being our homeland borders?

 We watch as these psycho Islamists chip away at our freedoms in our daily lives. We watch and are subjected to everything but strip searches at the airline check points. Ironically, during these very checks, some illegal alien or potential terrorist slithers across our borders subjected to no search at all.

 There is no need to buy the argument that we must take the war to the terrorists because they are right here in America, waiting for the word from someone such as that fascist psycho in Iran to let loose his wrath on the U.S. It's coming and it won't be pretty. It will pale 9/11 and it is inevitable.

 It is similar to being between a rock and a hard place because I refuse to support these liberal democrats who obviously don't reside in the same reality as most of us with their rhetoric of leave the terrorists alone, they'll leave us alone and we will will all live in the Garden of Eden. On the other hand, we have a republican administration that does a snow job on us regarding border security. We are to support our foreign wars while we accept the hypocrisy of leaving our borders vulnerable.

 Now we have the new development of border patrol guards being prosecuted for doing their jobs. I smell a large rat here. Does this government have some hidden agenda to allow these incursions over our borders. Is there some reason that our leaders are refusing to act.?

 We, the citzens of these great United states are the prisoners of this New War. There are so many rules and regulations to follow on airliners alone that you feel if you breathe too loudly you could be thrown in jail or tackled to the ground. I can hear the laughs echoing around the globe. We are the laughing stock of the planet. Why shouldn't they laugh? After all, Bush talks a good game but shows the world he isn't serious about protecting the homeland.

 With all of the issues and voter disillusionment with the republicans, I just pray that they see that a bad situation will only get worse if the democrats get the upper hand in the upcoming elections. We should then just open the flood gates, set tables, and bake cookies for the jihadists, while surrendering our nation and the freedoms we have left.
