9/11 needs to be kept in the forefront of everyone's mind for the rest of the life of the Republic.
So go postal. Where do you live?
Democrats despise Rudy. They know he'd wipe Hillary off the presidential political landscape forever and deny her the chance of transforming this country into Vichy France.
And that's really the thing isn't it?
If Rudy promises to appoint constructionists to the federal courts and is the nominee, he's got my vote. I will not enable the Democrats, because
1. There is no way in hell Hillary would win, unless the GOP ran a child molester.
2. The Dems will likely nominate Evan Bayh or Mark Warner.

The African American community would probably be whipped up to remember how Rudy got black loiterers out of the Port Authority and off of 42nd and 86th street in the early 90s.
I just remembered...black gangs owned 86th street on Manhattan's East Side in 1989...but were nowhere to be found in 1999.
Giuliani literally saved New York City...and a decade before 9-11.
Giuliani had the support of most whites, including liberals at the time when black muggers thought they owned the place.
One of the most famous incidents and strategies, one that would be continually played by the Democrats if he runs for President...was that Rudy had a strategy vs crime that went like this:
It wasn't enough to get minority loiterers (criminals and drug dealers) off of 42nd Street and 86th Street and back into their own neighborhoods.
Giuliani sent white people (undercover cops) into black neighborhoods AT NIGHT...
to just walk around, look lost maybe. Eat an ice cream cone while meandering down the street.
Any jackass that tried to rob them or harrass them for being white...was instantly put face down into the sidewalk and sent to prison.
Very, very soon it became known among black men not to be unfriendly with a white person in their black neighborhoods. I could then walk around myself up in Harlem and not feel threatened.
One night a group of white guys (cops) was walking around when they made the mistake of thinking that a black man was reaching for a gun (it was a cell phone). They fired 40 shots into him. It was a horrible mistake.
But the mistake didn't make the strategy of sending whites into black neighborhoods wrong.
Because the message got across: no violence against whites will be tolerated anywhere, especially if we decide to walk into your neighborhoods.
In the late 90s when I owned an Internet company in NY, I often took black-owned limos to the 125th Street train station to catch trains going north. The 125th Street station is in the very heart of black Harlem.
I never felt in danger because Giuliani had been mayor for 9 years already. The black people seemed to be going about their business and having lives...I never saw anymore drug dealers or dangerous looking "youths"...even in the heart of Harlem.
Ten years before, I would never have even considered getting on or off at the 125th street station of the northern train system.
Bush's Iraq Strategy is almost exactly Giulianis strategy of sending white folks into black neighborhoods to teach the other side that violence is wrong, even in your own neighborhood.
