My sense is that we have learned nothing from this event, and that three thousand people died for nothing. It will take the loss of an entire American city to wake the country up to the threats of Islamic totalitarianism. Within days of this event, the Left was endeavoring to throw up political opposition to our military response.

You, the author of this piece, are the same person who thinks Sarah Palin is not the right person to be President someday. You have returned to your complacent cynical self rather than seeing that Sarah embodies honest simple folks’ need for a truthful leader to stand against the vicious wolves of the world. Instead this country has elected a Communist con man and is going the way of all the totalitarian examples because it now believes all the lies that are being told about it. When I say it, I mean the confused, chaotic useful idiots that the left cultivates with its lies and spins. The mainstream media is a tool of the Left. We stand with this election on on the cusp of history. The Left has done its work over the last 40 years. Our ruination is not far off. I don’t think we will make it through the next four years intact.

Street can defeat primitive terror!
===========================
All acts of barbaric terror must be replied with a multiple of cleansing mass demonstrations, in all major cities of the world, marching to the Unknown Victim of Terror Monument. UVT!!!!!!!!!
==================================================

The voice of decency must be louder the Tehran, Kaba, Kremling inspired cheap barbarism.

gus3: We can’t do anything about our candidates’ souls. We need to work on our own souls. Assuming we still have them…

I’ll spare the details of where I was, but when I heard of the first plane, my reaction was “If there’s a second one, it was no accident.” And I waited for the second one. And it hit.

Maybe that’s why I’m a conservative: I believe in human evil, and I test theories.

“September 11, 2001, taught me exactly how small I had become and reminds me of how much larger my soul needs to be.”

To all readers in the USA: Remember this statement as you examine the presidential candidates.

9-11 did not happen as a result of love and respect between people groups. Yet, since the beginning of time, people groups have had “moments” of hatred and “seasons” of great strife. History unfortunately shows us that death and destruction has been with us for century upon century. Can we truly expect real lasting “peace on earth”? If so, is it to be birthed by people groups who teach and preach superiority as a race or religion, such that all others are to be extinguished or made slaves to their beliefs and world views? By people groups who think nothing of cutting out tongues, raping, mass killings, marketplace bombs, be-headings, burying four young girls alive because they desired to have some say in who they marry? Peace on earth, it would seem, has a better chance of finding its way to the forefront within a world view of “loving your neighbor as yourself”…”doing unto others as you would have them do unto you”…recognition that there are no persons favored over others in the eyes of God. I am proud to be a citizen of this great country, as imperfect as some like to point that it is. Our rights are married to the truths found within a Judeo-Christian belief system and world view. In God We Trust….or used to trust. At 9-11 we met to pray, ignoring “differences”. The further we move away from this base…the more we will find ourselves “legislating” morality and freedom. God Bless America!

Jeff – there is nothing wrong with your soul. It sounds like you are a true American producer: worthy of veneration and not worthy of the guilt that so-called intellectuals like Ward Churchill and so-called leaders like Bill Clinton have been so desperately trying to lay upon us with variants of “it’s America’s fault.”

We were once united around an idea – sovereign individual rights and a government limited by its constitution (almost) solely to protecting those rights. Today, with that idea no longer taught, practiced, or even recognized in the mainstream, we are becoming like every other nation – balkanized warring factions.

Sandra is half-right: a well-armed America will be a safe America – but only when our leaders recognize our right to exist for our own sake as innocent producers like Jeff – and our right to defend ourselves against those who, like Khomeini of Iran in 1976, declare “death to America.”

Until then, all of our bombs and troops are of no use. Our leaders must regain the morality necessary to drop those bombs and defend our right to live as producers – instead of air-dropping food and sacrificing our boys to nation building. Our leaders could start by reclaiming the oil wells which Americans built and paid for that were stolen by the Arabs….

Until then, we’re just a paper tiger – incapable of accomplishing even the most elementary action necessary for our continued existence: destroying our enemies’ will to fight.
