AMERICA - The Right Way!! (Day 1159) [Remember the Trade Center!!]

America will never seek a permission slip to defend the security of our country!
Good morning!!
Do not let the victims of the attacks on New York and Washington, nor the brave members of our Nation's military who have given their lives to protect our freedom, die in vain!!
Well, Madame Nottobright (Mrs. Albright for the uninitiated) still defends the UOx42 record as it regards terrorists. In her written remarks to the 9/11 Commission (note, she didn't say this, so it wouldn't have been caught in a sound bite--how convenient!), Ms. Nottobright said: "It is possible and perhaps probable that anger over these detentions [in Guantanamo] has helped (Osama) bin Laden succeed in recruiting more new operatives." Sec'y Powell, in his turn, noted the UOx42 Administration turned over nothing operational regarding The Evil One, but "they gave a good briefing."
But all of this conviniently misses the point. It is far less relevant, probably irrelevent, what happened in the period preceding 8:47 EDT on September 11, 2001, than as to what has occurred since that point in time.
Let's contrast, shall we?
Madame Nottobright suggests the UOx42 Administration had a robust effort against the terrorists. Great. Let's assume for sake of argument that is indeed true (never mind that requires setting aside the USS Cole and Kolbart Towers incidents). What relevance does that have to TODAY's War on Terror? How is any of that helping TODAY to catch Osama bin Laden? Has all the rhetoric from the Clintonistas helped put one bad guy in jail or wiped from the face of the Earth?
No. What we are treated to instead is a cacaphony of things such as what was in Nottobright's written testimony, which basically boils down to the current War on Terror is screwed up because it puts bad guys out of commission which will offend other bad guys.
What appeasatory crap. And the stench is so putrid, it is nauseating.
Indeed, the Clintonitas have, at every turn, suggested that America mortgage her security to the "greater world order." It has been suggested that before we conduct activities that are in our best security interests, that we seek a permission slip from Europe, the UN, and, apparently, the terrorists themselves ("you won't get mad if we do this, will you?")
That one statement indicates that everything else that might have been said by UOx42 and his minions are just that, mere words. That, however, has been their stock in trade: don't judge us by our actions, judge us by our stated intentions. That was their rhetoric before 8:47 EDT on September 11, 2001; it is their rhetoric today.
On the other hand, President Bush can certainly be faulted for not doing more against the terrorists September 10, 2001, and earlier. But that is a cheap shot. The biggest concerns in the country were not buildings failing down, potential radiological bombs going off, and terror seeking its way into America's cities and streets. Nope. It was the economy, stupid. Yes, folks were more worried about their personal finanical security than in the national physical security. Just imagine the hew and cry that would have gone up if dollars had been diverted from domestic programs.
But since 8:47 EST on September 11, that is the measure that needs to be taken of President Bush. And what a measure: Afghanistan freed; Iraq freed; hundreds of hard core terrorists on ice in Guantanamo, no threat to anyone; dozens of key Al Qa'eda leadership no longer in working order (i.e., dead); a proven capability to take out any threat, anywhere, at any time (recall the missile attack in Yemen that left only ashes as the trace of the former terrorists).
One side likes to talk. One side likes to act.
Talk is for the people still living in the September 10, 2001, world.
Action is for the people living in the September 12, 2001, world.
President Bush and this Administration live in the September 12, 2001, world.
Let's remain with that leadership.
For AMERICA - The Right Way, I remain yours in the Cause, the Chairman.

Can you say "Smoking Gun"?
ANTI CLARKE BOMBSHELL TO BREAK THIS A.M. (Per Rich Lowry)
Start at #70.
Fox (Jim Angle) has a tape of Clarke ... and the transcript is posted on the thread.
Um, the first point, I think the overall point is, there was no plan on Al Qaeda that was passed from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration.
KABOOM!

Mrs. "Jemian" , the 6th grade teacher, posed the following problem to one of her arithmetic classes:
"A wealthy man dies and leaves ten million dollars. One-fifth is to go to his wife, one-fifth is to go to his son, one-sixth to his butler, and the rest to charity. Now, what does each get?"
After a very long silence in the classroom, Little Morris raised his hand.
The teacher called on Little Morris for his answer.
With complete sincerity in his voice, Little Morris answered, "A lawyer!"

Rush is talking about this but doesn't expect the mainstream press to report it. He said that since it comes from Fox News, it will probably be ignored.

Sorry you are having trouble with this evil woman. Because she is family, I would tell my husband this plan and then either e-mail her or call her on the phone and tell her that you never did this to her regarding Clinton because you wanted to maintain family unity. Tell her if she sends you one more e-mail or nasty comment you will feel as though family unity means nothing to her and you will react accordingly. (Let the threat hang there for her to figure out).

Afternoon everyone!
Slept in late, (and am still a little groggy & congested,) but despite my medicated state, have heard & understood enough of Limbaugh to know what's happening with this phony commission, Clarke, etc...
Looks like we have even more reasons to
HATE THE PARTISAN MEDIA!!!!!!!!
Chairman, that is an excellent opening. Thank you...
Sorry about no links this a.m.....

MP, I'm glad you commented about the "no links." I just went looking for them and about decided that I scrolled too fast and just missed them. No problem they're not there. I just find them useful to help catch me up on happenings while I'm asleep.
Guennie, there are programs for email which block certain addresses on the server. I use Mailwasher Pro, which is provided by a company out of New Zealand. It enables you to blacklist and bounce certain addresses so you won't contaminate your computer by downloading them. Blacklist your SIL and then you'll be able to truthfully say, "I never got that email. It is just not reaching me."

RE: Our conversation yesterday. We were discussing possible answers to Saint Peter as to why, if he asks,we should get into heaven.
My reply to him would be along the lines, "I know God is holy and no bad resides with Him. I'm sorry, but there has been bad in my life." At that point I expect to hear a third voice proclaiming, "I've taken care of the bad in her life. Let her in on my account." That third voice is my Savior. He alone is keeping me out of hell and allowing me into heaven. It's not that my good works are greater than my bad. Any bad would disqualify me from meriting heaven.
FWIW, that's what I believe.
PS I'm sorry it took so long to resume the conversation. I had to stop and teach. Are you feeling better today, I hope?"

I read a book years ago that made an interesting analogy. It said that Jesus is like an umbrella over our heads. When God looks down at us, he see the umbrella, the perfection of Christ, rather than us in all our sinfulness and thus we become 'acceptable' through Him. Those who have not claimed Christ as their Savior have no umbrella and God sees the fullness of their sin.
(The book stated it better.)

Good afternoon Chair, everyone. I am back from the garden and got to tell you, the garden won today, left a little early cause I am slap worn out. I am making more rows so I can extend the garden and I have vowed to learn how to can all those good vittles I am going to have. I hasn't done this since the 60's and it is fun---again.
I been hearing all this Clark thing, this guy is selling a book and no more. HE should be President, the nerve of all the administration not crawling on their knees for all his wonderful(?) advice.
I just got back from getting a haircut, sides only. You see, the last time I got one I decided I would revert back to my younger days and get a real close 'crew cut', Guess what, I ain't got as much hair as I had back then and it was a disaster. Won't do that again for sure.
Are y'all able to pick up Neil Bortz (sp) out of Atlanta? He might be out in left field on some things but he is right on the mark when it comes to the real concern of us all, radical killing us. They can destroy the economy to the point of no return.
Think I will have a rare cup of afternoon coffee, La chicory kind, strong, put a spoon in to stir it and come back with a half of a spoon. Strong is being a little to kind if you ask me.
Please, Pray for OUR President W. He is being attacked by the 'dark side' and from the bowls of hell itself. He is a good man, trying to do the right thing and he needs our help. It doesn't have to be a real long prayer, a 'one liner' will do, God hears them all, song and short ones.
Have a good rest of the day and stay safe ya hear? Toby

You restated it very well, kay. Thanks for that analogy. It's helpful and insightful.
Jemian, what about the electricity?? Person on TWC last night spoke briefly about the torrential rains in your part of the world.
Afternoon, Toby.
I love Cavuto...but he's going to have Nancy Pelosi on this afternoon. UGH!!

Hi Molly! You remind me of MY posts when I get extremely angry with those capital letters. :))
Wouldn't it, I say WOULDN'T IT, be a dream come true for all of us if this thing backfired in the lying democrat face and millions of sheeple woke up to the truth of the entire democrat party, saying they would never vote democrat again? Well, it's nice to dream.....

checking in. It was 75 degrees at noon today. I had an errand to run, and had to turn on the A/C as the car had been sitting in the sun all morning.
I'm off to check the news, (again)
