Yesterday should have been a glorious day around here. There should have been fireworks and celebration. There should have been somber remembrances. There should have been patriotic tributes. There should have been shared joy at the news that our guys had finally gotten Bin Laden.
Instead, when I visited the site, what I found was a lot of carping. I found people focused more on the political spin than on the great news. I found people transferring their birther mentality onto this event, talking about Obama faking this news, photoshopping information, etc. It wasn't everybody, but it was a LOT of people. It made me sick.
Yesterday Free Republic seemed like DU. It makes me wonder what the hell is going on. Are Freepers getting younger? I always assume that DU is so pathetically immature because they must be younger. Free Republic has always been a place dominated by great class, and wit, and decency. Not this time. What I saw yesterday was a pathetic embarrassment and totally unworthy of this great forum.
As some of you may know, I was in lower Manhattan on 9-11. I was just across the street from the WTC when the first plane hit. I still remember the beautiful clear blue sky that day. I remember walking in between the towers just a minute or so before 8:46am, on my normal route to work. I remember my co-workers screaming in panic when they watched from an office window as the second plane hit the south tower. I remember women crying and screaming hysterically. I remember not being able to contact my wife to tell her I was OK. I remember people jumping to their deaths. I remember seeing the north tower go down with my own eyes, hearing it with my own ears. I remember fleeing Manhattan. I remember it was a Tuesday.
I remember returning to work the following Monday, riding the ferry passed the site, noxious smoke still billowing from the wreckage. I remember armed troops on the sidewalks. I remember wearing a breathing mask inside my building because the foul odor was seeping in through the ventilation system. I remember thinking we'd really gotten kicked in the teeth. They had killed innocent people, they had traumatized our women and children, and I really wanted revenge. I hung a picture on my wall of the American eagle sharpening his talons.
It has been a long time since that day. It's hard to believe how fast time flies. Then again, if you lost your loved one, I imagine time hasn't gone so fast. I love my wife so much, I can empathize with anyone who has lost the one they love. I can't imagine how that would be, and don't want to know, but I can cry for those people because I know what it is like to find your one true love.
I'm not an Obama fan. I hate socialism. But I am so happy that Bin Laden is killed, and that we have exacted some real revenge. It's about time. The politics don't even play into it for me. I still have the little flag, now tattered, that I flew on my car antenna after 9-11. I want to take it out of storage and put it on my car. I want to see American flags on cars like we saw back then. But it's not going to happen, and partially because the normally patriotic conservatives such as the ones here on Free Republic are instead focused on the politics and the fact that a socialist Democrat was president and will get some of the credit.
I guess you all would have been pissed on D-Day too. FDR was as big a socialist as anyone. I guess VE day and VJ day would have chapped your hides, since Truman was a DEM. I don't mean to paint with a broad brush. I know it wasn't every Freeper acting this way. But when I went on the board, that was the general impression, and it was really disappointing. It should have been a great day here. Instead, I saw a lack of patriotism and a lack of class. Free Republic should be better than this. If conservatives lose their patriotism and class, then what will happen to those virtues? I hope we can get them back soon. In the meantime, thanks for reading.

And just what conclusions did you draw?
Complete shame and a ‘false flag’ set up :^(
So you are saying 9-11 was a false flag set up?
See you tomorrow.
“Ankeny considered and rejected claims. Leo and Taitz are 0 for 89 or so by now.”
Not sure how Taitz got in our discussion and Phillip Berg, Gary Kreep and others got left out. I take it to mean that you’re using Taitz name to try to ridicule me or my position - pretty uncool of you. In the “0 for 89 or so”, none of the “89 or so” have been on the merits of the case - only on “standing”.
I live in Texas. What an Indiana judge says in Ankeny v Daniels has no bearing on me. Now, if that was Justice Clarence Thomas writing for the majority, I would agree that the subject was closed.
““What’s the harm in pursuing both avenues of removal?”
Because the birther avenue has 0.000000000% chance of success ... and its wrong anyway.”
9 zeros. So what you’re saying is that there is a chance.
“Wrong”???? Sorry. I don’t get what’s wrong about it.
“Nice theory, but its both wrong and out of sync with what courts will say the Constitution says and requires. ...The End.”
I did not realize you had an inside track to all the courts. Must be nice to be connected.
Guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. Enjoyed the discussion. Take care.
“only on “standing”.”
only?!?! NO court will even grant standing ... yeah, add a few more zeros to that 0.0% odds. lol
“I did not realize you had an inside track to all the courts. Must be nice to be connected.”
The “inside track” is simple. Just read decisions! It helps to read and UNDERSTAND the Ankeny decision. Just read it and then read it again until you ‘get it’. See if a real constitutional lawyer can parse it for you. It’s a slam dunk. Any court deciding will just xerox the Ankeny decision and say the same thing. It doesn’t matter what state you live in, the legal reasoning will be the same, the legal conclusion will be the same - Obama will be declared eligible.
““Wrong”???? Sorry. I don’t get what’s wrong about it.”
Read:
So... anyone want details?
Sure, give us the details.
I saw a 'pod' on the underside ... looks kinda like the pod that houses the landing gear on a C-130 or C-141.
No, no jets hit those towers, just well crafted holographs... fooled a lot of people till you see there is no 'heat signature' and no smoke behind the engines and below 7,000 feet the B-757 cannot go faster than 340 mph. It simply lacks the thrust/weight ratio needed to overcome the denser air.
AND if that is not enough, last year I took a flight to Wash., D.C.
As a Type II diabetic, I have to eat less and spread it out throughout the day.
So I ordered a 'snack pak'... just $7.00 on good old United. So I open it up and it has a sack of crackers and a can of tuna with a metal lid. Just like those high dollar cat food cats. They could be used to cut throats/slice and dice human flesh with no problem.
Hmmmmm
So when I got a chance, I had a quick chat with the head stewardess, telling her that those lids could be used as a weapon, and why is that on this aircraft... she smiled and replied, " you don't really believe that there were terrorists on those planes do you?".
ME: What?
Her: Do you really think my husband who works for (blank - blank blanks) would let me do this if there were any risk?".
(She was a beautiful gal)
ME: "Uhhhh no".
So when I got to my home state, I sent two letters to the FBI describing the cans and the potential threat due to the lids on the cans.
Weeks pass and no response.
So I truck down to the local office, speak with an agent.
The guy was totally nonplussed.
Seems everyone knows there were no terrorists, no planes hijacked, and everything a big con.
FReepers, I love ya, but there comes a time with have to get out of our pajamas and do some field research.
Ok where are the real planes then? If they where holographic then what happened the actual aircraft?

911 truther zot
Duuuude, you really shouldn’t stop taking your meds.
Ron Paul must be running again ...
I work for a liviing, what do you do?
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my Viking Kitty/ZOT ping list!. . . don't be shy.
Oh goody, another retarded truther.
Usually when someone is sitting in front of you who is mentally challenged, you just smile and nod to amuse them. It is like conversing with a 1 year old when they start to make up their own language.
Ron Paul is running for President again, what do you expect?
