Some people think to remember 9/11 is to give those Muslim terrorists more attention than they deserve, others think it’s maudlin to even bring it up. My reasons for talking about it are neither of those things, they are simply to remind us who the enemy is and that we should never forget it for as long as they exist. Let me be very specific, Islamic radicals represent America’s enemy and the enemy of civilized people everywhere. It doesn’t matter if they haven’t actually attacked us yet, because at the very least they approve of the terror attacks on innocents, they encourage the killers by their own bigoted beliefs. Even though they have declared Holy War on us, I don’t think we should hate them or fear them. I certainly don’t. It’s enough for me that we be aware of their intentions. That we understand their motivates and that we take the appropriate response to their threats.
I can’t wait for Obama to be gone and for someone better to be in, anyone but Obama. If it’s Trump great, lets see what he can do. If it’s Hillary… eh, not so great, but I’ll live with it. Hoping for a pleasant and safe Sunday for all of you. As for me, I’m going over to the indoor range and crank off a few hundred rounds at silhouette target. I always feel better after punching the center out of my target.
Bully for you. Rock on. Of late I have taken to referring to range days as “mental health restoration days”.

Pie, GWB’s statement after 911, “Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists,” was a pointed statement directed toward every nation, organization, religion, individual or group. It was a statement of truth and a call for choosing. Would that the nations of the world had remained mindful of that choice. But Obama signaled a shift away from certainty early on. He’s been clear about his choice to play activist “peacemaker.” The secret agreement with Iran, a sponsor of terror, was a very clear indication that Obama/Clinton/Biden/Kerry are not “with us and against the terrorists.” In fact it’s impossible to say for certain where they stand. Above it all is my guess. Unfortunately that isn’t and effective position, not whn it comes to keeping the free world safe.
On 9/11/01, hours after the tower fell, Trump bragged that his building was now the tallest in Manhattan.

BFD Chris. We all know Trump likes to shoot his mouth off.
We also know it takes ego to run for president. Shrinking violets won’t do.
“It doesn’t matter if they haven’t actually attacked us yet, ….”
Uh, … yes … it does. If you actually believe in the founding principles, anyway … which … as things have progressed, I am less and less convinced that you do.
I would like to think that the anniversary is a time to remember that a handful of fanatics cannot obliterate the, for lack of a better word, heart of this country, but you seem all too willing to let it happen … perhaps because you never had the heart in the first place? That is what it begins to look like.
Libby, now you are being mean. Accusing me of not believing in our founding principles and not having a heart? Really? I’ve lived my life according to our founding principle and I do have a heart or I would not love my country as I do or have sacrificed so much for it. Since you live in this country, then it stands that I am sacrificing for you as well. Would a person without a heart care what happens to a person like yourself? But, I do care. I care about you, about free speech, about justice, about equality under the law, about fair taxation, about national security and so many other things that you regularly mock and dismiss. I may not agree with you on much, but as the saying goes, I would defend to the death your right to say it. That’s caring.
Jack: “It doesn’t matter if they haven’t actually attacked us yet, ….”
Libby:
I think you misunderstood what Jack was saying Libby. He wrote: Let me be very specific, Islamic radicals represent America’s enemy and the enemy of civilized people everywhere. It doesn’t matter if they haven’t actually attacked us yet, because at the very least they approve of the terror attacks on innocents, they encourage the killers by their own bigoted beliefs.
“Radicals who stand behind the terrorists, even if as individuals they have not carried out an attack, are our enemies as promoters and enablers. And their soldiers have attacked and plotted attacks:

“They” are radical Islamic terrorists. “They” have formed under various names. “They” share the same goals which “they” have articulated quite clearly.
And thanks to Obama’s hapless response to this very real threat to the entire world

Europe exemplifies the overt ambitions of this radical ideology. The faction that believes invasion and impregnating women is the path to Islamic dominance…the radical variety that imposed sharia and doesn’t tolerate anyone that will not convert.
Libby wrote: “…a time to remember that a handful of fanatics cannot obliterate the, for lack of a better word, heart of this country.”
Five or six is a handful. This is not about five or six fanatics. This is about thousands of extreme thinkers that do not wish any of us well. This is about thousands of men and women whose religious leaders encourage them to murder in the name of their god to become a martyr. Crushing the overt actors is necessary. That won’t put an end to the ideology.
