"Let's roll" with our HEADLIGHTS ON this 9/11
TheBullyPulpit.com ^ | September 2, 2002 | Jack Dinsmore

We have little more than a week left to get the word out across this great land we love and call the United States of America.

On Wednesday, September 11, 2002, all Americans who will be driving a motor vehicle are being asked to do so with their HEADLIGHTS ON.

Contact the newspaper in your town or at your school. Call the television and radio stations in your area. Inform your elected representatives. Pass the word at your place of employment. Tell your family, friends and neighbors. Send this e-mail to people. Discuss this event in chatrooms and on message boards.

No explanation is needed as to why we are commemorating September 11 in this fashion. However, we hope to pay respect to the victims of that day, display our nation's solidarity, and, show support for our men and women in the Armed Forces.

"Let's roll" down the roads and highways with our headlights on this September 11!

God Bless America!

"We'll release the tears and let them melt." He won't guess how many people will participate. Twenty would be fine, he said, and 2,000 would be better.

I'm gonna hurl.

"We don't support a war on terrorism with no end in sight," said Scully, 48. "It feels like the McCarthy era, just before my time. Never before in my adult life has it felt more unsafe to be critical of the government than it feels right now."

How very precious.

Note to Mr. Scully:
History has shown Sen. McCarthy to be RIGHT.

JD, much as I appreciate your spirit, there is nothing lamer than a "let's all drive with our headlights on" movement. Many of the newer cars have headlights that stay on all the time anyway, and nobody will notice a few extra older cars with lights on.

I bet people will notice a few thousand extra cars and trucks with headlights on.

I must share the pain.
I'm taking 9-11 off and am giving thought to going down there.

there's almost always an unintended consequence when libs get silly... something like fish dying trying to eat the candles or a life boat full of hippes being crushed while playing chicken with a 100,000 ton barge, trying to get the captain to avoid the ice cubes because it might blow out the candles

Since we probably won't be able to assemble 3000 or so terrorists together in one place, we should instead, just slaughter the detainees at Gitmo.

True enough. But the media put that down the memory hole.

I went into Appleton to see his grave a couple months ago. The papers will never tell you this, not in a million years, but McCarthy's memory is revered by a great many in this area. These were his friends and relatives in the Fox Valley; they knew the man and weren't fooled by the hype.

Like others who grew up listening to the liberal media, I also believed he was the villain his name has become synonymous with.
Now I realize he wasn't... but I doubt the media will ever admit that.

Anyone who doubts this should read The Venona Secrets, which I read last summer.
Check it out sometime if you haven't already.

FRegards,
CD

Having checked your other recent postings, I know this was meant to be ironic ... but I gotta say it sent a chill up the spine to read it :-(
