| On
this 6th anniversary of September 11th, I make no apologies for
being American.
"What are you talking about, Tim?" you ask.
I am
a war monger. To hell with being politically correct. To hell with
the enemies of this country. And I am unashamed to say that.
 |
|
I know war causes death. I know and have known good people
who have died in war. My own stepson has been in combat in
Iraq, twice. I cannot express in words how I feel knowing
young men and women are dying and being maimed right now in
service of this country. |
But,
whether we want to acknowledge the fact or not, this country and
it's freedoms come with a price. A very steep price, sometimes.
And
it's not just those who serve our great country in the armed
services that pay that price. 3000 innocent people paid that price
on September 11th, 2001. Have you forgotten? That's not just a cliché.
Have you?
Do
you remember that morning? The fear. The confusion. And, at the end
of the day, the anger. Do you remember watching people jump out of
windows 80 floors up to avoid burning to death? Do you remember
watching CNN and seeing Arab children cheering at the attack on
America. Do you remember the ache in your heart and the tears in
your eyes?
| I do.
It's still there for me. I still see red. I still cry. My heart
still aches. And I don't give a rat's behind what you might think
now, it's not our President's fault, it's not Vice President
Cheney's fault. It's not Senator Clinton's fault... |

It's
Muslim's fault. It's the things they teach their children. It's the
things that teach their women. And their God is NOT my God. Some of
their very own people agree that there are Muslim's who really don't
understand what the Koran teaches. Some of their people that have
had the guts to look inside of themselves to try and solve their
problems, as opposed to looking at the "Great Satan," the
USA as the oppressor.
Just
like all religions, there is good and there is bad in how Islam is
understood and taught. But extremism is far more rampant in Islam.
When your "God" wants to give you rewards for killing
those who don't believe as you teach, when your "God"
instructs you to slice innocent heads off men, slicing their throats
like butchering a pig, that's the very definition of EXTREME.

And some people in this country are spineless cowards. Yep,
you read that correctly. Cowards. I am ABSOLUTELY not
referring to the brave men and women serving in harm's way
now...or in the past. I'm talking about those who whine and
moan, who commit sedition, who want the country to fail in
the war in Iraq. To fail in the war on terror. And if you
are a veteran that feels that way, you are dishonoring every
man and woman you served with. |
"Tim, there is NO war on terror. Bush mislead us." you
say? Or "Bush is responsible for the attack on 9-11," or
"Bush just invaded Iraq for the oil."
|
Horse
hockey! No freaking war on terror? Did you SEE the towers fall? Did
you SEE the Pentagon burning? And Bush responsible for 9-11? Give
me a break. The President can't even wipe his rear end without CNN
or MSNBC covering it and their talking heads lambasting him for
doing it wrong. And you think he could have pulled off something on
the scale of 9-11 without SOMEONE coming forward to tell of the
dirty deed? Just exactly what world DO you come from, 'cause it
ain't this one. |
|
 |
For
the oil? That's the funniest and, at the same time, the most
aggravating "excuse" of them all. If that's the case, why
in the world are we paying so much for gas? Forrest's mom said it
best, "Stupid is as stupid does."
 |
|
We
need to focus. On the problem that is far more evil than Bush. Far
more important than anything else. We need to focus on the enemy. |
We
need to close our borders NOW. We need to suck it up and stop being
so politically correct. We need to add some iron to our spines.
Mourn the dead and wounded but don't let their sacrifice be for
nothing. Don't let the extremists off the hook. Or let them get out
of your rifle sights.
We
need to let our warriors fight and not tie their hands. Give them
what they need to take the fight to the enemy, whether it's weapons
and supplies or the latitude to "get nasty" on the bad
guys. Show them the same mercy they showed those 3000 on 9-11.
|
We need to
vote out those morons, not matter what their party, in
Washington that want a "pretty" war. That want to
"play by the rules." This ain't organized sports,
this is sandlot. This is back alley. This is kick their a$$
before they kick ours.
I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees...facing
east, praying to a false "God."
Bite me, Osama, I make no apologies for being American. And
we're coming for you and your pals. |
