For my part, I plan to avoid watching any of the televised proceedings. I completely agree that there's too much victimhood and not enough anger. It's time to kick Saddam's Butt and get revenge.

Couldn't have said it better myself

i've been bumping damned good nominations for 'quote of the day' for a long time now, and nothing's ever come of it;
but by god here's one that oughta be a hands-down winner, or somethin's way outta whack ...

Empires usually collapse from overextension.
This just might be the first empire in the history of the world to simply cry itself to death.

Quote of the Day !

at least for those of us not preoccupied with wailing and gnashing our teeth ...

No need for asbestos underpants here, friend. Most of us agree with you! :)

People generally only have one funeral, where everybody mourns. Then we get over it, move on, and remember them once in a while. Their memory kept in word and story. And, if they died unjustly, we find out who is responsible and see that they are punished.

Now is the time for action. We know who dunnit, and we have mushroom-shaped implements of punishment. What should follow is obvious.

RUSH IS RIGHT! I'm tired of being made to see ourselves as victims again and again. It keeps us powerless and focused in the direction of self-pity instead of destroying our enemy. That enemy is ISLAM. Worldwide- in the middle east and here, where a massive fifth column exists. Start HERE! Get them out of our country! I, personally, would outlaw the religion completely as it is preaching treason and sedition. To attack enemies on the other side of the planet is great, but letting them live among us only opens us for the kind of attacks Israel is living with daily.
That WILL happen if we don't clean house.
In the mean time----MELT MECCA!

Too many memorials, not enough anger...

Come to think of it maybe there is hope...cue the Elvis hit "Too much conversation, a little less action"

I've been thinking about how cool it would be to see >Elvis< show up at the Dome of the Rock.

He'd be in the white jumpsuit with the multi-colored eagles, shades, and a guitar across his back.

As prayers start he'd whip the guitar around - a disguised automatic weapon - and open fire. Afterward he'd say "hunka, hunka burning love baby!", toss a bomb into the Dome and disappear as it crumbles.

Hey, even heros have a right to dream.

Back in reality an airstrike, military or otherwise, would work just as well.

I am sitting here on my lunch hour paging through William Bennett's "The Death of Outrage" and note how much it compares with the attitude in the US today. Where has the outrage gone in the past year? Where are all the flags on cars? Where are the candlelight vigils? Where are the assemblies for prayer? The only showing is here on FR and a few talk shows. A pretty poor showing of outrage if you ask me.

>>...It's PAST time to open the spinach...<<

AMEN! As Popeye would say: "That's all I can stands, I can't stands no more!"

[Poohbah]

Hey, this sounds like a mission for the Flying Elvi, soon to be renamed the 509th Composite Ranger-Airborne PsyOps Parachuting Elvi Regimental Squadron (CRAPPERS).

[NewYorker]

As Jim Cramer on Kudlow and Cramer said last night, "Stop the mourning, start the bombing."

[Cogadh na Sith]

But if we get outraged, we might have to do something about it and someone could get hurt and the markets might not like it, it might hurt the environment, and Nelson Mandela would speak out against us and we'd lose the support of the progressive nations of the world and kids might make fun of moslems and it might interfere with Monday Night Football.

Better to just rationalize it away: Nobody is perfect. America did bad stuff too. Free Martha!

[makoman]

I'll grab my shotgun and join you on the march!

[angcat]

a friend of mine from queens had emailed me last night and advised that he did not want to receive anymore 9/11 emails from me pictures and articles, he said "what happened was a unfortunate tragedy but he is moving past it" i said fine but i was appauled how can you move past it. a tragedy this was no tragedy it was murder. oh well to each his own.

i hope i don't get insulted from that jerk 0-- freeper who said my grammer was like a third grader :)....lol

[mitchbert]

Anything he says tomorrow in remembrance of Sept.11th, 2001, will make me angrier and will be the epitome of hypocrisy ( IMHO :-)

So true. And he's getting worse, if that ever seemed possible, as time goes on.

[aShepard]

Yes, we should be enraged, but half of us aren't, and the world is not behind us.

We need to be attacked one more time.

Then we will be free to use our nucs in an immediate counterattack, wiping the scum from the earth

[prisoner6]

Kinda like Rope-A-Dope.

But I woulda used 'em by now.

After years of dumbing down, we've been doped enogh.

Well I have been outraged since Sept. 11, 2001 when I heard the first plane had hit. I did not yet know if it was terrorism but I was angry that soemone could be either that stupid or that evil. After the second tower was hit I have been and continue to be livid until every last supporter of Al Qaeda is exterminated we have to keep fighting.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

Why is Atta's family still alive? They should have their tounges hanging about their collar bones - old and young.

The Germans used this tactic during WWII to quell any resistance from European villages. And it worked, very very well. However, the U.S. will never use this tactic. If we did, impeachment proceedings would be started against Bush, the UN would charge us with war crimes (none of us around here care what the UN thinks, but you can bet your butt that 75% of America does...unfortunately) and the Congress would cut all funding for the war. You and I both know that.

"what happened was a unfortunate tragedy but he is moving past it"

Sadly this is what it's all about today. >HE'S< moving past it. If nothing else we have become the most self-centered society to ever walk the face of the earth - certain specific exceptions acknowledged.

Today it's all about ME, ME, ME. How did it affect ME? How do I feel? Where was I? I...I...I!

I, I , I, I love you VERY much...

Vanity, self-indulgence and instant gratification are our prison.

[who knows what evil?]

Sounds like a plan! You've got my vote!
