REMEMBER THIS DAY: 2001

Yes, it's been nine years — almost to the hour as I write this.

And the way many of the people who run this country — or support those running it — act, you'd think it never happened.

Well, it did ... and it's the war on terror that has stopped it from happening again.

My prayers for all who died.

TWO GOODIES

And an illustration of what is wrong with the anti-Obama crowd.

The one on the tailgate of the truck was obviously shot in a mall parking lot. The e-mail is titled "Seen at a nascar race"

Why it has to get the NASCAR label — unless the original e-mail was started by libs — is beyond me. The damn thing is good no matter where it was spotted.

The Carter one ...well, that simply speaks for itself. Ostensibly out of Grand Junction, CO. Regardless ... a good 'un.

UPDATE: Apparently the license plate of the gentleman with the tailgate contains a racist message that is unapparent to anyone except those of the white power movement. Nonetheless, the plate has been pulled. Me? I STILL want the tailgate. Thanks to PA for the heads up.

THANK YOU PRESIDENT OBAMA

Dear Mr. President,

Thanks for totally ignoring the fact that the scumbags formerly known as the 9-11 terrorists are now to be accorded all the rights of an American citizen.

We had them at Gitmo where they belonged and where they could have been subjected to a military tribunal, then we could have dragged their sorry islamic jihadist asses out into the sands and shot them.

But, apparently, you feel that these low lifes are deserving of the protection of our Constitution, even though they saw fit to kill 3,000 innocent American citizens, and even though you have no use for that document.

You — and your advisers, czars, backers, mentors, etc., et al — epitomize the worst in our political system.

Thank God you only have 1012 days left to defraud, disenfranchise and otherwise try to destroy a country that has reigned supreme — and set an example for the rest of the world — for nearly its entire existence.

You, sir, are a typical political hack (even worse, a typical Chicago Machine hack) who pays nothing more than lip service to what the populace wants.

Disgustedly yours,

Gary P. Joyce

THE OBAMA NATION

It's bad enough that the Obama Adminstration has released an absolutely war-time-like propaganda piece reminiscent of the days of Adolph, Stalin and Mao to be shown to American children in school. If you haven't seen it, you really must. The message within is fine and dandy. The opening and closing of the piece is so thoughtless, self-serving and points — once again — to the President's if not incompetence, certainly lack of judgement — that were there not a lot more things to worry about in this country, he should be impeached for giving something so obviously un-American his imprimatur. If you've been sleeping with Osama bin Laden the past few days and haven't seen it, go HERE.

More misjudgment. His Green Czar, Van Jones, — the man who said white America puts polluting business in colored American neighborhoods — apologized for his statements about 9/11. Sort of. The Daily News op-ed, says it best. Go HEREfor that.
Jones has called for a sort of National Green Day on — yup — September 11.

How's THAT for un-American. Oh well, just another anti-American in an administration filled with them.

Then there's the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the most liberal in the country and the one most often delivering insane, fringe decisions that makes everyone go, "huh?" (PS. Guess where they're based? Go ol' San Fran Nan's baliwick.)

In a 2-1 decision, the first of its kind in the nation, they found former Attorney General John Ashcroft can be sued for ordering Arabs to be hauled into court (after September 11, 2001) and held till their terrorist (or lack thereof) connections were proved. A "slightly" tinged version of the story can be found HERE

PS: Everyone gets the title of this post, right?

PPS: Happy Labor Day Weekend!

TEARDROP MONUMENT TO 9/11

Never heard about this, or saw it before. A buddy out in Kansas City sent it to me. It was donated by a Russian artist to the American people on the fifth anniversary of 9/11. For more go HERE

Thanks to AJ from KC for the head's up.
