Are you "afraid"?

Posted on 10/17/2001 7:02:05 AM PDT by DrCarl

The media continues to tell us that the American people are "afraid" of these "terrorists". Where do they get the idea that we are afraid? Personally, I was angry as I watched our WTC come down, I got angrier when I heard how many Americans had been killed and I have gotten much angrier since, but I have felt no fear. I want the enemy dead but he sure doesn't scare me. In fact, it is the enemy which, if it has any brains, should be afraid. After all, let's say it out loud: What will the (enemy) world do if it really makes us mad? Have they considered that, I wonder?

Are you "afraid" or is this media driven idea created to make us look and feel vulnerable, like the idea that normal people are "homophobic".

I'm not afraid, just very angry, and becoming more angry with each passing day.

The only upside? - My liberal son (too much exposure to ex) now is taking karate lessons and, last night, asked me to show him how to use firearms.

The only upside country-wide is that liberals are getting "mugged" too.

Having said that, I feel really bad for these people getting funny letters, real or not.

I think it's time for GW to break open the tactical nuke box. This has gone far enough.

>I don't know what the 'homophobic' thread here is about...but, whatever.

Simple. In the same way that the media tells us that Americans are afraid of the enemy, they have also been telling us for years that we are afraid of homosexuals, which, as you may know, is what homophobia means. I have never met a person who is afraid of homosexuals and the people around me are not afraid of this enemy.

Good point, DrCarl! I'm not afraid, but I am as mad as hell!! I am mad because of all the lives lost! I am mad because life as we know it will not be the same, but mostly I am mad at our government (Rats mostly, Kennedy in particular with his 1965 immigration bill), who have allowed this immigration thing to get out of hand. I say we must deport those who are here illegally, and then limit those who would be eligible to immigrate here.

America's founding-fathers warned of this day. In the 1700s, US fought the redcoats, whose throne was controlled by the same shadow forces. Who are the redcoats today?

You’re not planning on shooting David Rockefeller or the Queen of England, are you?

Maybe a better term is concerned. OBTW, IMHO it is fine for Christians to be afraid. We have to place our faith in Christ, and mine is there, but it is still a part of the downfallen man to be afraid/concerned.

"Are you "afraid"?

Yes, I am afraid. I am afraid of my own temper and the indignation I have against everything that is going on. I am afraid that after 8 years of being branded a kook, and a conspiracy theorist, that I will lash out at those who dismissed my interpertation of the state of our great Nation, as "paranoia." I am afraid that I have lost all patience with the "think of the children" crowd. I am afraid that people will take the position that if we just get out of the middle east, all these attacks will stop. I am afraid that once again, our Government, in the interests of saving their own political carreers will not finish the job they started.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

In God I will praise His Word, in God I have put my trust. I will not fear what flesh can do to me.

The Lord is on my side. I will not fear; what can man do to me?

They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings as Eagles. They shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

In the Bible, it says that in the last days "mens' hearts shall fail them for fear". Fear is a weapon of our enemy, and as such, should be resisted. The terrorists want us to fear them. If we give in to fear, they acheive a victory. Let's not let them have that. They should fear us, because we are the stronger. They have awakened a sleeping giant, and we are taking the fight to them. It's time for them to fear, and live in constant dread, as well they should. They have awakened the best fighting force in the world, they have motivated us to action. They have no idea what they started, and it is our duty to do everything in our power to send them to their false god, Allah, since they want so bad to be with him. I will not yield to fear, I will not allow those cowards to shape the course of my life. It is they who should live in fear, not America!

I guess, as a Starbucks window breaker, you look towards the terrorists as role models. If only you could get your hands on a plane, you'd teach corporate America a thing or two.

Your daddy should revoke your trust fund, white boy. It's too late for him to raise a responsible unspoiled son, but it's not too late for him to make you get a job.

DITTO!
And might I add this, from 2 Timothy 1:7

For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, love and self discipline.

Concerned for our country and our future, yes. Afraid, no.
Nobody is going to get America without a fight.

Me, too, I'm afraid for my children. BTW, this is probably off the topic, but is it possible to obtain Cipro without a prescription? Are any of these online pharmacies reputable? I feel like I should have some on hand for my family just in case...(sigh).

No one seems to be afraid around here, I had to park a mile from the mall to get a parking place, we gave up trying to find a restaurant with no waiting list Saturday.

I am a cautious person, not a fearful one, I see a problem I want it fixed. I am pretty furious with the congress for not even attempting to fix this one. More people will die because they are more interested in Arab money than ending immigration or deporting people with expired visas, or telling the state department, which btw is full of liberals, to stop issuing visa's overseas.

As I and others have said on these pages, I am concerned for the many Americans who will put their lives in harms way to destroy this scourge. And they will be destroyed.

This is our moment to show the world what the future will look like. The 21rst century will be, like the last, An American Century. Freedom is on the ascent at an ever increasing rate. Right now we are apaying a high price for a brief period of complacency. We are no longer complacent and as a result millions if not billions of people will reap the benefit of a United States on the march.
