Posted on September 12, 2011 at 12:37amSome people do not understand that we are not united on Sept 12th 2001. Just because the news and TV shows today keep saying we will never forget the reality is we did forget. If we had not forgotten the attack we would not call it a tragedy, it was a cowardly attack. The word tragedy is used so we do not say the true word “attack”. The forgetting started when we took the images of the planes crashing into the buildings off the air. If we had not forgotten we would not have elected a questionable Muslim to destroy our currency and take away our freedoms. What people need to remember is that the left was never united with America. They saw it as opportunity to hurt our country using their greatest invention Political Correctness. ToastAbuser you need to wake up. America sat quietly as the first responders and clergy were told not to be at the 10 year memorial service. If you would have been told the week after the attack that the clergy and first responders would not be allowed at the 10 year memorial service you would have assumed the Muslim extremists won.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 2:14pmThis is still so raw and heartbreaking to me. I just saw a Budweiser commercial on the football game break, where the Clydesdale horse team march over the bridge and into a big field with the statue of Liberty showing in the background and showing the spot where the twin towers once stood. All of the beautiful horses bowed down… and the verse below showed “Never Forget” it made me break out in tears like a small child.
God Bless this Country, we need you Lord now more than we ever have. May all those who were effected by this horrific act of terrorism know that we are thinking of you, and you are not alone.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 1:45pmFox.com also has a live and replay video or videos of the memorial event. There is an area where one can click to replay the whole event with the fountains in the background. It is really heart rendering.
Report Post »The family members of the 3000 who died were reading the names of the deceased in Alphabetical order at the memorial. At 8:00 a.m. Pacific time, they were reading the names which began with the letter “L.” Then, at 9:20 a.m., they were working on the “Ss.” And, at 10:00 a.m., they were working in the “Ws.”
Every firefighter’s name was introduced with “Firefighter” before his name. There were times when several individuals shared uncommon last names. That was when one would realize that two or more individuals were family members. I watched four young boys reading off their list of names. All four lost a father, and all four were toddlers or younger when their fathers died.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 7:51pmToday we remember. We mourn. We reflect upon what we have lost. The bill for the destruction of four airplanes, the World Trade Center properties, and a sizeable chunk of the Pentagon exceeded 25 billion dollars.
But these are nothing compared with the devastation and pain that is being re-lived in thousands of homes today – as it has each day since that loved one vanished. That smile, never to be seen again. That laugh, never to be heard again from down the hall. That touch, never to be felt again in this world.
The carefree innocence we once enjoyed has burnt up in flames with the Twin Towers. But with the help of Almighty God that same fire will kindle a new resolve within our hearts. “For God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made His light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” (from 2 Corinthians)
We are a nation built on strength. Strength of will, strength of heart, strength of resources. But even more important, strength of character founded in God’s Word. Today the most fitting tribute we can give is to pledge ourselves anew. To our country and to our God who makes her great.

Please re-read REVLOC’s comment. It pertained to American history since President Kennedy.
Also, according to my Bible, Jesus was executed by the Romans only at the fervent behest of a Jewish crowd (we the people). That day was a very dark day in human behavior. It was also necessary and glorious for those who believe Jesus is their Savior.
I think ignorance sucks more than poverty. It‘s likely the impoverished know that they’re poor, so there’s at least a chance they will be motivated to improve their condition.

We respond by sending troops to suffer and die for 10 years in a sandy pig hole.
An alternative response, total destruction of the locations where these pigs hide. Collatteral damage you say? THEIR TARGETS WERE COLLATTERAL DAMAGE. If a govenment supports terrorists, or cannot remove them, tough luck, sucks to be you. Turn them to glass. Deal with the “outrage” from terrorist supporters and countries who suck up to quasi- religious haters.. They will know that unless they eliminate the pigs themselves, they become part of the solution.
I strongly believe we still owe the countries where these terrorists were spawned and trained a nuclear reminder that the USA is not a target of opportunity, but a nation who will crush you if you attack us.

Recently, I learned that 3000 died on 09/11/01. During the War Against Terrorism, 6000 soldiers and 2,300 contractors have died. And, according to MSNBC, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE have been MAIMED by suicide bombers in Iraq and in Afghanistan!!! A percentage—and possibly a large percentage—of these people are our War Veterans!!!
Now, why, in God’s name, are we allowing these people to migrate to the United States? Once Muslims settle, they work towards Islamization, because they are not an assimilating people.
Muslims are non-conformists. The Israelis and the Europeans have always had and are still having problems with these people.

I have had several U.S. History, Western Civilization, and Geography courses, as well as a couple of Intercultural Communication Courses and a World Religion Course. When it comes to having a global foundation and understanding about societies, I actually have an excellent one.
I have also read the Bible from cover to cover several times—more than three times!!! In Old Testament, it STATES that several Arab races “breed nothing but Blood and violence!!!

I will start looking for it! I see that I will need it for future references!!!
It is really in one of the books. One of the countries that were mention was Lebanon. I have studied the King James Version of the Bible for the last three decades, and it truly implies that certain Arab races breed nothing but blood and violence. Many nations have gone through name changes through the last several thousand years but, oddly enough, not Lebanon!!!
I am a very busy person, but I will start searching. It might take a few months to find the exact scripture, but I will keep your name in mind. And, one day, when you least expect it, I will give you the correct book, chapter, and verse!!!
What I am referring to was written by one of the Prophets in anger and with contempt!

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 12:08pmThe Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

“After 9/11, we should have known that the war we faced was greater and wider than one group of thugs sheltering in a desert wasteland half a world away. Our leaders should have told us, and they should have prepared us for all the ugly truths about the nature of the war against us, and the philosophical base from which it was being waged. We should have learned it ourselves and demanded a thorough war, but now we arrive on the eve of that event’s tenth anniversary, and still we cower and huddle in fear at the credible threats looming over us. “

His “FAST and FURIOUS” has exported two thousand guns into Mexico and it has resulted in the deaths of hundreds and even a US Border Patrolman. The idea was to discredit honest gun sellers on this side of the border. The ATF made them sell these guns, even short circuiting the registration requirements, so that they could try to convince the US population that these guns were coming from bad US gun sellers. It was BO’s Justice Dept under Eric Holder who were the criminals and now thousands of guns are in the hands of the very bad drug cartels which are even now creeping up into Arizona and New Mexico and connecting with the drug gangs in NYC and Chicago and LA…and guess where some of these automatic weapons are headed……IMPEACH this EVIL MAN before he endangers anyone else.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 10:40amI don’t know about you, but I will never forget the look on President Bush’s face when he was told what was happening. For the first time in my life, I saw a man in total agony. It was true, it was genuine–what showed on his face and in his eyes. I can’t imagine what he felt at that moment. Lesser men might have collapsed.
I can quibble and debate President Bush’s policies. But of that man, on that day, keeps him forever high in my estimation.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 1:58pmUpState – you are so right! He has been vilified for everything, including not jumping up and running out of the room to ‘deal with it’ as soon as he heard. His first act of protecting the citizens of the United States started in that very first moment … with him protecting a room full of 2nd graders from the horror of what was happening.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 10:19amThe Islamist Marxist *****-in chief is more phony than a nine-peso wooden coin. And he isn‘t ’really’ black; he’s half white! In my not-so-humble opinion, any photos of him should not be forced on our eyes.
While today might be a cause to again mourn, I ask my fellow Citizens (liberals aren’t Americans, far as I am concerned) to stand stronger. Cry if you need, Americans, then come back with more resolve. I encourage you all to stay strong, stay frosty.
We are Americans!

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 12:14pmHappy, but grieving Sunday to you fellow Upstater! Although I left NY when the carpet-bagging Clintons moved in and headed south, lol.
Obama has a mind alright… a mind to destroy our country.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 10:14amI just read Paul Krugman’s latest piece on how President Bush only used the 9/11 tragedy to cash in….and then doesn’t have the guts to open it to comments….Paul you are a coward and if Karma has it‘s revenge I can only hope it’s swift. You are the worst of the worst and how dare you use this event to spew your idiotic thoughts.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 2:03pmThanks, Blaze, for opening up that written piece of trash by Krugman and allowing it for comments. The know-it-all was completely clueless.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 10:27amYes it does appear to be; he is only using this anniversary for the furthering of his own agendas and the reelection of himself to the Presidency once again.
Note, there will probably be some of the lunatic “everything is a conspiracy” fringe who will take the smirk to mean “Why has the detonations we set up not happened yet…” or some other such nonsense, and mind you I do not trust the current admin at all not to do anything they need for their own seizure of power.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 10:39amObama is nothing but a commie hack. He sees this “event” as a photo op. I despise him and the commies that he hired. If he wins reelection, I suggest that the American people nuke D.C.
I had the honor to have visited the towers long before the attack. These were really beautiful structures and I still get tears just watching the video of the planes hitting the towers knowing well that hundreds of people were killed and hundreds more were trapped above the fires. I am also very saddened by the sight of the people crying and walking away covered in cement dust. This was a very sad day indeed.
God Bless the survivors, 1st responders, and the victims and their families.
Report Post »Obama… GO HOME. My guess is that the golf course was closed on 9-11 or you would have gone golfing instead.

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 2:05pmThat smirk means, “I’d rather be playing 18-holes today.”

Posted on September 11, 2011 at 2:10pmI guess I take it back. I had said that smirk probably means he wished he was on the greens playing a round of golf today, but deep down Obama must have some sense of grief over America’s loss(?)
