Don't even get me started on the media. Helen Thomas was despicable today, whining about Social Security and the debt. And reporters hinting that the President is a coward for not flying right back to DC. And Chris Matthews shaking his head this evening that President Bush just doesn't have what it takes. I've written so many emails today, I can't keep track.

I'm not believing some of what I'm reading on the Forum ..... Larry Klayman's latest stunt is beyond description!!!!!!!!!! And the front page of the SF paper .... if that's real then I'm dumbfounded. Everything is topsy-turvy.

Larry Klayman is beyond words. I'm so tired of that man trying to capitalize on everything. And some of the threads here are getting tired, actually some of the posters are. Someone said that Dick Cheney had had a heart attack and that they were hiding that fact. I posted a picture of him sitting at the National Security meeting this morning with President Bush. And other posters are saying that President Bush didn't show leadership yesterday. Sigh. I'm going to bed, I'm tired of writing rebuttals. Talk you all tomorrow.

I'm here now....thanks for the ping. I've just been reading everything. Not being able to get onto FR all day, I had to go to drudge, newsmax, Fox, stuff like that. It's NOT the same.

A friend of my hubby's is spending a few days here, and he was using the net tonight...and I had to watch TV. I can NOT begin to tell you how disgusting that is. The whole thing with the talking heads....

Pray for our West Coast too, will ya all???? Thanks.

I watched some tv tonight, too ...... utterly disgusting. I wish they would just shut their big fat traps ...... the pictures say plenty without the "benefit" of the morons spewing their vile and drivel and garbage and whatnot. The only value I see to the tv coverage is that the pictures of the horror are being indelibly inprinted on the minds and hearts of the American public.

In the hope that many of you will check here tomorrow and see this, I'm going to post it ...... and then may re-post it every day for the next week. It was written by FReeper B-Cause.

An open letter to a terrorist:

Well, you hit the World Trade Center, but you missed America. You hit the Pentagon, but you missed America. You used helpless American bodies, to take out other American bodies, but like a poor marksman, you STILL missed America.

Why? Because of something you guys will never understand. America isn't about a building or two, not about financial centers, not about military centers, America isn't about a place, America isn't even about a bunch of bodies. America is about an IDEA. An idea, that you can go someplace where you can earn as much as you can figure out how to, live for the most part, like you envisioned living, and pursue Happiness. (No guarantees that you'll reach it, but you can sure try!)

Go ahead and whine your terrorist whine, and chant your terrorist litany: "If you can not see my point, then feel my pain." This concept is alien to Americans. We live in a country where we don't have to see your point. But you're free to have one. We don't have to listen to your speech. But you're free to say one. Don't know where you got the strange idea that everyone has to agree with you. We don't agree with each other in this country, almost as a matter of pride. We're a collection of guys that don't agree, called States. We united our individual states to protect ourselves from tyranny in the world. Another idea, we made up on the spot. You CAN make it up as you go, when it's your country.

If you're free enough.

Yeah, we're fat, sloppy, easy-going goofs most of the time. That's an unfortunate image to project to the world, but it comes of feeling free and easy about the world you live in. It's unfortunate too, because people start to forget that when you attack Americans, they tend to fight like a cornered badger. The first we knew of the War of 1812, was when England burned Washington D.C. to the ground. Didn't turn out like England thought it was going to, and it's not going to turn out like you think, either. Sorry, but you're not the first bully on our shores, just the most recent.

No Marquis of Queensbury rules for Americans, either. We were the FIRST and so far, only country in the world to use nuclear weapons in anger. Horrific idea, nowadays? News for you bucko, it was back then too, but we used it anyway. Only had two of them in the whole world and we used 'em both. Grandpa Jones worked on the Manhattan Project. Told me once, that right up until they threw the switch, the physicists were still arguing over whether the Uranium alone would fission, or whether it would start a fissioning chain reaction that would eat everything. But they threw the switch anyway, because we had a War to win. Does that tell you something about American Resolve?

So who just declared War on us? It would be nice to point to some real estate, like the good old days. Unfortunately, we're probably at war with random camps, in far-flung places. Who think they're safe. Just like the Barbary Pirates did. Better start sleeping with one eye open.

There's a spirit that tends to take over people who come to this country, looking for opportunity, looking for liberty, looking for freedom. Even if they misuse it. The Marielistas that Castro emptied out of his prisons, were overjoyed to find out how much freedom there was. First thing they did when they hit our shores, was run out and buy guns. The ones that didn't end up dead, ended up in prisons. It was a big PITA then (especially in south Florida), but you're only the newest PITA, not the first.

You guys seem to be incapable of understanding that we don't live in America, America lives in US! American Spirit is what it's called. And killing a few thousand of us, or a few million of us, won't change it. Most of the time, it's a pretty happy-go-lucky kind of Spirit. Until we're crossed in a cowardly manner, then it becomes an entirely different kind of Spirit.

Wait until you see what we do with that Spirit, this time. Sleep tight, if you can. We're coming.

The news I had been fearing has finally hit this mornings paper.

The headline reads: MISSING.

Dozens of local police and firefighters, and WTC workers..I can only pray for them and their families right now.

I just want to remind us all what our wonderful President said yesterday:

The American people need to know we're facing a different enemy than we have ever faced. This enemy hides in shadows and has no regard for human life. This is an enemy who preys on innocent and unsuspecting people, then runs for cover, but it won't be able to run for cover forever. This is an enemy that tries to hide, but it won't be able to hide forever. This is an enemy that thinks its harbors are safe, but they won't be safe forever. This enemy attacked not just our people but all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world.

The United States of America will use all our resources to conquer this enemy. We will rally the world. We will be patient. We'll be focused, and we will be steadfast in our determination. This battle will take time and resolve, but make no mistake about it, we will win.
