Just doing my small part to try and wake up the slumbering masses. We are very fortunate here in our safe, cozy homes. I am sure most folks who went to work at the WTC the morning of 9-11 didn't think much about terrorism either. There is an Islamic "school" that just opened not too long ago right here in Cow-lumbus, Ohio and the guy running it has ties to extremist groups plus Saudi money. Not a word from the local press or most of the general populace.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
I'm east of you in sleepy, peaceful Lancaster County, Pennsylvania....you know the place....we're one of only about twenty (20) counties in the state who went heartily for Rick Santorum; just not heartily enough. On Tuesday, November 7, 2006, I was amazed at the infiltration into this very county of, well I just don't know how else to say it, uninformed, left-leaning voters. I worked at the polls for nine (9) plus hours. I knew before the day was out that we were going to lose our one (1) truly good Senator. And I knew it by virtue of the numbers of new voters who were unashamedly voting for Bob Casey, Jr..
What still astounds me is the fact that Rick Santorum knows and regularly speaks about this very real threat. I have to conclude that too many in this seemingly safe, quiet little world simply do NOT want to listen to the bad news...don't want their days interrupted with anything negative; even if hearing and acting on that negative could literally save their lives. Sadly, I believe we are going to be hit again, and far worst even than we were on 9/11; unless our President hits them first in Iran!
Thank you for the post!!

My elderly mother, who lives in Raleigh, went into an oriental rug store the other day to inquire about getting a large antique rug cleaned. She spoke to the owner telling him that she needed advice as she was uncertain about what to do as she knew nothing about rugs. Later when we met for lunch she was terribly upset. He had gone off on her about the War and said Americans were uncertain about all kinds of things. I was stunned. I have thought about calling him and giving him a piece of my mind.
