That was an amazing day for FreeRepublic.
I wasn’t very cyber literate then and so was rather
limited in my abilty to reply to people.
Looking back, the ability of freepers to gather, process
and distribute information was so far ahead of the
main stream news that I knew we had entered a different
age. Will also never forget the time when NO PLANES FLEW,
we are so used to seeing them in the skies that it was
so very disturbing to see nothing but birds flying.
Islam declared war on us that day in no uncertain terms
and it’s about time we got up to speed.

Thank you for penning that...9/11 was what ultimately brought me to FR. and I lurked here daily for the very reason you’ve posted. I was often frustrated with the pundits and how they were delivering the war which would follow....it seemed the media had lost all sense of what war is and about and you go to war to win. I was sickened by Diane Sawyer and others who should have known better.
Thank God for FR then...they told the truth and they were unapologetic about understanding what war is and what it’s for. .....
