Appalling Response to Terror Making it in Massachusetts

There are now some reports that the Pentagon plane was intended to intercept Air Force on landing at Andrews AFB bringing Bush back from Florida, supposedly derived from cellphone or radio transmissions from the doomed plane. The yahoo Meehan and others were probably trying out a democrat talking point, but pulled back when confronted with a huge negative reaction.

What a sad commentary about a state that once figured prominently in the establishment of freedom and patriotism. My heart goes out to the few conservatives who live in such a deluded, socialist climate.

Is there not tar in Massachusetts? Have feathers been blown away? Does not the state have wooden rails and a beautiful harbor? America can walk and chew gum at the same time.

I live in Connecticut and it's pretty bad for Constitutionalists, Massachusetts is a hundred times worse. It's referred to as the Peoples Republic of Massachusetts and nothing to left of Trotsky is far enough out for MA. From firearms to taxes to animal rights it's an east coast Berkely. The worst part is Cambridge. I can't do it justice, you have to see it for yourself.

Sad to say ... Richard Neal is MY congressman.

Heres my letter to the editor of the Springfield newspaper:

Dear Editor

So Massachusetts Congressmen Richard Neal and Marty Meehan think it appropriate to criticize the President in the midst of one of the greatest crisis ever to face our country? Gee, what a couple of patriots.

They'd be well served to remember that it is best to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, then to open it and remove all doubt.

The current people of MassHoleChewzit are the direct decendants of the Loyalist during the revolutionary war. Most all patriots are long gone from this hell hole that they call a state.

I urge everyone after this is over to boycott MassHoleChewzit, Berkely, and any other pockets of Anti-Americanism within our borders.

[F.J. Mitchell]

BUMP! for a great post.

[MamaLucci]

Excellent letter...hopefully other citizens of Mass. will also STAND UP and speak out.

My heart goes out to the few conservatives who live in such a deluded, socialist climate.

My Aunt and Uncle are currently relocating to Massachusetts...we TRIED to warn them! :)
I'd LIKE to think that they can change a few minds there, but this article makes me wonder.

[sockmonkey]

BTTT! Good to see someone in MA is not a Marxist.

[Selara]

Appalling indeed, and a national disgrace.

[laconic]

Don't forget, Harvard University (home of the Harvard Crimson newspaper that called for a Vietcong victory from the safety of its wealthy student editors' draft deferments) accepted a $2 million gift from Osama Bin Laden's brother to establish a chair of Islamic Studies, just as Yale rejected a $20 million grant from the Bass family for Western Civilization (can't offend uncivilized people, of course). Is there no depth to which these Ivy League cookiepushers and buttkissers will sink?

[cactusSharp]

NEVER FORGET.....CHRIS MATTHEWS DRAWS HIS POLITICAL STRENGTH,EVEN THO HE TRIES TO HIDE IT,FROM MASSACHUSETTS. From Tip O'Neil to the always present,Barney Franks,there is Matthews.....Trust me,we have to watch Chris closer...

I used to love visiting New England because of its sense of history and the sheer beauty of the region. Regrettably, I find it very unappealing any more because of the eroding nature of its politics. Our founding fathers would be appalled.

[lormand]

This war has been going on for years. It was declared years ago by Islamic fundamentalist and terrorist. We just didn't listen. Meantime, Harvard, Berkley, Cambridge and other anti-Western pockets in America have been aiding and abetting, albeit in a tangential way, our sworn enemy the whole time that they planned and executed this horrible act.

Let us put these people and places on our short list when the War is over. In the meantime, let us steer whom ever we can, back in the RIGHT direction. If there is any fairness in the people of MassHoleChewzit and Kalifornia, they will turn hard right, and reject the idiocy that they have been regurgitating for so long.

[mountaineer]

Marx-achusetts, at its best, er, worst.

[Timeout]

How galling....this from the state from which two planeloads of terrorists evaded airport security, entered US airspace and attacked New York. Perhaps rather than question the threat, Mr. Meehan and others should concentrate on beefing up security (as should have been their primary purpose BEFORE this happened).

[habs4ever]

Go Howie! I hope he sets up shop on Harvard Common and broadcasts for all the snivelling tropes there to hear.

[Faith]

The Meehan and Neal comments were despicable. These fellas have so little to offer that they have to resort to partisan criticism even in the most tragic of times. I know that their e-mail, FAX, and phone lines were burning.
