Couldn't agree more. Here is what I had posted at the Declaration Foundation site early this morning:

*****

Sept 11, 2001

Fellow Americans, Like many of you, I awoke to the terrible news of the destruction in New York City.

Now is a time for all us to unite in support of our national leaders, to remember what unites us, and to give comfort and prayers for the victims of these awful events. We will be posting news of these events, and of the national response to them, as we get it.

Best to you all, and to our Republic.

Dr. Richard Ferrier
President, Declaration Foundation

******

We are all praying for wisdom for our President, George Bush, and for all who must think out the proper response, and we are thankful for the heroic firemen, police, doctors and nurses, and others who are giving of themselves even as we write and read here.

Best to all,

Richard F.

FReepers, whether you are a Buchanan supporter, Keyes supporter, Bush or Browne supporter, let's put our differences behind us. We are Americans first and we have been attacked. Now is the time to come together and support our leaders and pray that they make the best informed decisions.

Does this mean that we cannot criticize Democrats (Clinton specifically) for military cuts, etc, or is this only a call not to criticize Republicans?

"We are Americans first"

God Bless America and guide us in this toubled time.

[unamused]

I think most of the people that come to FR do so out of strong belief in their Country and Constitution. I think we will all pull together to fight any threat to our Nation.

It's time to stand together now...(we can go back to bickering later, after the threat is over.)

All of us are Americans first, anything else second.

Give blood at the blood bank today...and be prepared to give more in the field, if necessary...

Absolutely. Pinged a few folks. Olive branch.

Amen and amen. Let's start by weeding out anyone who applauds the murders, or makes light of the fact that policemen, military, FBI, LEO, or anyone may have given their lives for freedom today.

I'm a PROUD Buchanan supporter and I agree. However, if we had listened to Pat's warnings about the weakening of America instead of lining up to bash and ridicule him and other conservatives like Keyes and Bauer, we might not be talking about the greatest terrorist attack in world history to date. You think maybe the left-wing media and academic scumbags and political whores coulda been wrong? You damned betcha they were and we're payin' for it.

I am a liberal Democrat who voted for Clinton twice and voted for Gore last November. Needless to say, I am one of the most partisan Democrats you will ever meet.

Today, I am a Bush supporter 100% and anybody who does not support Bush 100% today is bordering on treason. There cna be no backing down. There can be no doubt to the rest of the world.

America first, America last, and America forever. Let the bastards who do this know, you will REAP THE WHIRLWIND OF AMERICAN RETRIBUTION. THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS NOW AT WAR AND WE STAND UNITED!

The terror of today is the direct result of the loose immigration policy that has allowed thousands of Islamic militants to enter this country. Rid us of Arab and moslem immigrants NOW!

[mn-bush-man]

The Candle Has Been Lit - Wife Upstairs doing it now!! Join in, everybody!!

[mjf]

We have been attacked. This means War! As a Nation we cannot stop until we have eliminated all of the terrorists and their protectors.

This Cannot Stand!

Rangers, Seals, the Marines!

If the country harboring terrorist will not allow an overfly, bomb them instead! Then do the overfly.

Cockroaches and spiders should be eliminated, and we should do it RIGHT NOW! We have to make them pay big time. Make them want to find these terrorists and kill them. Make them think that if these people are their neighbors, they deserve to die.

We have to stop letting little countries harbor this kind of people.

Period.

It's time to prove it! I'll stand and deliver with all Americans on my side.

I'm angry, no...I'm pissed off! I'm mad as hell, and I'm ready to die for the precepts of this nation! I'm ready for my, and my fellow Americans, Jihad. You want to see a fricking Jihad..... here comes you're Jihad like you ain't never seen, you pukeassed son-of-a-bitch! It's over, we're coming to get your cowardly ass, and we're going to hang you by the neck until you are goat food!

I SWEAR! God may never forgive me for this, but I SWEAR!

Thanks Bella, this shows a heck of a lot of class.

The impositions akin to slavery may be what is at stake between the keepers of peace and freedom and the supporters of random terror. The resolution to this problem may be in deciding what society will be required to live under restrictive security conditions that would basically remove its freedoms. Either the society justified in pursuing liberty or the one justifying itself in the pursuit of terror needs to win the fight of clamping down on the other. We may have to put a fence around terrorist lands or annihilate their terrorist elements altogether.
