EVAN SAYET
I call myself a 9/13 Republican. I grew up a liberal New York Jew; you don't get much more liberal than that--although it was lower-case "l," not what's considered Liberal today. I graduated from high school knowing only one thing about politics: that Democrats are good and Republicans are evil.
I tell a story. It's not a true story, but it helps crystallize my thinking that brought me to become a conservative. I say: Imagine being in a restaurant with an old friend, and you're catching up, and suddenly he blurts out, "I hate my wife." You chuckle to yourself because he says it every time you're together, and you know he doesn't hate his wife; they've been together for 35 years. He loves his daughters, and they're just like her. No, he doesn't hate his wife.
So you're having dinner, and you look out the window and spot his wife, and she's being beaten up right outside the restaurant. You grab your friend and say, "Come on, let's help her. Let's help your wife," and he says, "Nah, I'm sure she deserves it." At that moment, it dawns on you: He really does hate his wife.
That's what 9/11 was to me. For years and years I'd hear my friends from the Left say how evil and horrible and racist and imperialistic and oppressive America is, and I'd chuckle to myself and think, "Oh, they always say that; they love America." Then on 9/11, we were beaten up, and when I grabbed them by the collar, and I said, "Come on, let's help her. Let's help America," and they said, "Nah, she deserves it."
At that moment, I realized: They really do hate America.

Which was the objective of the July 07, 2006 plot to bomb the PATH train tunnel:
The men believed that by bombing the train tunnels, they could unleash a severe flood in lower Manhattan, including Wall Street, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. The official also said investigators believe that an attack on a train tunnel, unlike the Holland Tunnel, could have achieved that goal.If they had cracked the PATH tunnel walls under the river, and flooded the tunnel, the whole lower-Manhatten subway system sits below the water line
Wow! This is an excellent piece. It offers a perspective on WHY do they think the way they do that I’d dimly realized- but he makes it clear and coherent. God bless this fine and funny man.
Thank you so much for posting!
Ping for you to read this illuminating article:)

If they're not evil, then the next place your mind goes is that they must just be incredibly stupid. They don't mean to always side with evil, the failed and wrong; they just don't know what they're doing.
Excusing evil as stupid, something I've often done.

Thank you so much for pinging the Shroud list. This is an outstanding read, and one I would otherwise have missed.
Been posted here before, but that’s alright with me- I enjoy more each time.

Flight 800. Lets not forget that. And the BS they tried to feed us afterwards.
If the target of 9/11 was more limited and not so “obvious” it would have been covered up as well.
9/11 was a revenge "cruise missile" attack by Osama. The only reason it didn't take place while Clinton was in office is it took long to plan an organize.
the first part is reasonable; the second, conjecture.
In any event, have you read my "stockbroker" theory?
Osama’s still alive so I suppose he’s told someone what really motivated him. If Osama’s cave is found just before the election I wonder if that will help or hurt the war on terrorism.
Perhaps you already know this, but there are online programs from schools such as MIT.

No credit, but auditors are welcome.
Of course online degree programs also exist. My son went through the Univ of Phoenix program for an MBA and I can say that the program is authentic and up to date.
And therein lies the problem.

I know, but that's hardly what we need to break the academy out of the iron fist of the left.
I respectfully disagree with you on [that] point, above.
Anyone claiming to know the Clintons in the least, what one or both did and were/are capable would believe a single solitary word coming out of their lying mouths, whining notwithstanding. In fact a damned solid argument could be mounted one w/could always know when a Clinton was lying because their mouth would be moving.
Fact.
The very fact the Clinton & Clintonistas whined makes a[ny] theory they were in some way, somehow complicit quite plausible, indeed.
Moreover using hindsight looking back at the course of events following 911, it makes more & more sense they were involved. Because 911 --incredibly-- provided Liberal-Socialists everywhere multiple platforms from which to launch attacks against the United States of America, American citizens, the American military and on and on so long as it was "American".
I do not believe in *coincidence* SO the leftist's treasonous shticks struck me as all-too-prepared, too well organized with one attack following the other before the first was even finished.
Were the Clintons involved, at any level insofar as 911 was concerned?
I've no way of knowing for sure except to say knowing them as I do *&* having lived through 8 (long) years of their regime? The most corrupt regime in the republic's history? I cannot in all honesty say learning they were involved wouldn't surprise me one iota and that is as "fair" as I can and will be on the subject of everything Clinton.
The Clintons, both of them, were and ARE nothing if not irrationally spiteful; while, no one could claim either Clinton ever cared about anything except themselves, their own enrichment and the furtherance of their own power using --solely-- their own *deed(s)*.
...as a barometer.
...& returning a favor.
Unfortunately, look how many of them did accept 9/11 as an epiphany and instead of realizing that we're under attack from without, decided it proved that "conservatives' our own government were behind it and solidified their hatred of George W. Bush and started them claiming "it was an inside job!"
Notice how this inversion validates the thrust of this article.
