I thought.

I thought.

I thought about this today, I thought about what we all would be feeling if today’s planned attack had come to fruition.

I thought about seeing yet another day as the news comes in of men, women and children that are gone forever.

I thought about the distraught mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers inconsolable with the realization of what had been lost, taken.

I thought about people on two continents, our brothers "Across the Pond", hurting for one another.

I thought about the anger, the hatred, denial, helplessness, loss, and the feeling of utter pain that I felt on 9/11.

I thought that I did not want to think about it anymore and then how selfish I was for thinking that.

Don't say we unless you have a mouse in your pocket.

Many of us have long since grown a backbone and it is the only reason leftist can say what they do because they know we are here to protect their sorry butt and view of the world.

I find however the strong will not take direction from the weak for long.

These thoughts should never leave us, as bad as they are. We must always remember that there are those whose sole function in life is to kill us all. It is not logical, it is not reasonable, it is not unthinkable anymore. Continue those thoughts and keep them alive for those who have died that did not have those thoughts to think................

I thought, "OMG, my 16 yr old son is flying home from Heathrow on Monday with 33 kids from his school. Please, Lord, keep them all safe from harm while in the UK and on their trip home." Then I thought, I'd throw-up. Now I thinking about holding my breath until they are safely on the ground in the states.....

I think the British ought to ask extremely difficult questions of the conspirators' acquaintances. Questions like:

"Why didn't you notify authorities of Mohammed's statements that he wanted to kill the infidels?"

Prayers for your son!!

My daughter is supposed to fly to Dallas next week and I am thinking about cancelling her reservation. I can't imagine the worry you are feeling.

I thought: Muslims gotta go, this time for real. Now, how to go about it? Maybe Rep Dingle rat-Dearbornistan has some ideas.

all day i've had the same ugly feeling that some of you mention. my heart of hearts refuses to believe that the Brits stopped nothing other than a staging exercise, a dress rehearsal. Mr. Ahminejad's promised "religious celebration" on August 22 still looms large.

and the ultimate pi**er is it's out of our (yours and mine)control.

someone please bring popcorn, a bottle of brandy, and a pack of cigarettes so we can watch Armageddon together.

I'm sort of feeling on the edge of a panic attack. I know that wouldn't accomplish anything. I know the kids are in good hands, but no one's hands are as good as mom and dads....it will be difficult to talk to him this afternoon but hopefully he'll have his dopey-teenage-immortal-'nothing bad could possibly happen to me' cloak on...I can start breathing again on Monday when they arrive safely home.

Somehow I don't think we are even safe in our homes.

I've thought about all the ways in which we are vulnerable here, of waking up to find that 10 terrorists decided to walk up to school buses throughout the country and blow themselves and our children to kingdom come, how could we possibly defend against that?

The answer is we can't and that they would in fact do it or something equally as horrible with no compunction, no regret, giving themselves to "Allah" against the Great Satan, us.

They will not be stopped with words.

They will not be stopped with negotiations.

They will not be stopped with half efforts. They will not stop until we force them to understand that we will no longer tolerate them anymore.

Until we decide, as a people, and the world decides to defeat them once and for all, there will be no peace.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

Thomas Jefferson

Logically, it's probably the safest to fly now with all the security. hang in there......be thinking of you.

Yes, we have grown a backbone. My backbone has not prevented me from worrying though. ;)
