Great in depth article, Tom Burnett's wife also says that before getting on the plane September her husband was having 'visions' of varoius sites in Washingtom including the White House.
Burnett, a devout Catholic took it as a sign from God that he would be called on to somehow serve his country in the nations capital.
English, do you speak/read it? They obviously agreed with you on the "poster boy" issue. Hello? Anybody there?
Do you really believe these fantasies of yours?
Who would have looked at the WTC and the Pentagon and faulted the government for that action?
I considered that myself. Basically, I think it would be an open admission, the first one at that, that "we" kill our own. If they admit it once, then it gives credibility to many "conspiracy theories". I think "they"(after much discussion, Im sure) saw the best course of action to be to perpetuate this story about heroes(dont get me wrong, Im not doubting they tried and possibly succeeded). The government may have consdiered that they would tell the truth after the initial shock was over, but after the stories of the phone calls came out, why say, "Yeh, they were heroes, but we shot it down and can never know if the passengers may have been able to stop it". There would be no reason to tell the truth.
And delving further into "conspiracy land", lets say the passengers had been able to stop the hijackers, and land the plane safely. Is it possible that the passengers may have seen or heard something that would implicate people other than foreign terrorists, or give serious doubt to "how this all happened"? I don't know myself, and I'm not saying this was the case, but it easily could have been. There have been dozens of threads theorizing all sorts of things about 9/11, some of which are surely pure BS. But who knows, really? Its best to keep an open mind. The government has given us no reason to trust it lately.
I personally doubt most of those theories, but I believe we shot it down as a precaution.
GSW, I'm glad we're in agreement.

But you're wrong in your conclusion. I vote for candidates that support freedom, not forced compliance their fundamentalist beliefs.
I believe that the government shot it down as a precaution, and decided that with the public knowedge of the cell phone calls, it was best to not "rock the boat" and let everyone believe the passengers brought it down.
The "government" has never even addressed the "bomb theory". You know, how people even here on this thread claim that debris was found 8 miles away because of a bomb. If thats the case, then I believe the government has even more explaining to do as to how someone got a bomb(not just razors or box cutters) onto the plane.
I ask, because you never made a clear point, as to why his homosexuality should take away from what he did in the final minutes of Flight 93.
I think it's interesting that NL wants to forgive a SAD if they are conservative? Should we let conservative thiefs out of jail so they can vote or something?
But the one that catches me most is the accusation that you are "called by G-d." Somehow that is supposed to be an insult?
I know that you do not personally feel called by G-d any more than any citizen is called to do his/her duty. But you should be pleased and humbled that so many see the hand of G-d in what you are doing.
Hopefully, they will come to understand what the hand of G-d is telling them before they see His face.
Shalom.
I thought Khepera's point was pretty clear. If your candidate wins, you support a system that forces - forces those who didn't support your candidate to accept him. It uses the force of arms to enforce their acceptance.
Only whe G-d restores all things will there be true freedom. Until then we will have governments that impose someone's will on someone else's. You may claim that it's OK for the U.S. government to impose your will because you are good - but that's just your own viewpoint speaking.
Shalom.
Are you comparing homosexuals to thieves? I'd be interested in your take to the question posed earlier - do all homosexuals go to Hell?
Morally homosexuals are worse than thieves.
There is no sin that can send someone to hell. People only go to hell who reject the rule of G-d in their (temporal and) eternal lives.
Shalom.
They are? Do homosexuals take direct action against their fellow humans? Thou Shalt Not Steal...that sounds pretty serious to me.
As you well know, believing the government does not have legitimate power to forcibly stop individuals from performing activities is NOT the same as supporting those activities. But why let the truth stop you?
I find it very interesting that someone who claims their cause is a righteous one has such an easy time lying.
