The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
~ George W. Bush (9/11/01) ~

I do not think at this point that even another terror attack would do it...Americans rally around their leaders in times of crisis and war, particularly strong, resolute leaders of character...they would do so now. Another terrorist attack on US soil between now and November 2004 will ensure Bush's reelection. The Administration would immediately react as it did after 9/11 to punish the terrorists, protect the public and reassure the nation, while the Democrats would spend months afterwards claiming Karl Rove planned the attacks. The sheer hatred the RATS' reactions would engender in the American electorate would make the Paul Wellstone Memori-rally look like JFK's inauguration by comparison.

Hi...John, Luis and ALL
Thank You for posting this article and also for the Ping!
WE must PRAY for our Nation and those in Leadership...
from the TOP Down.
The SCOTUS...should do their JOB: Interpret our existing Laws and NOT Legislate like supreme Dictators from their Crumbling Bench.
May GOD SAVE and BLESS AMERICA THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE!

Hiya, my friend :-)
To: Luis Gonzalez
Thanks for the Ping. I have been mulling this over all day and have tried several times put my feelings into words about this post. I can't, at least not now. I will sleep on it ...

Exactly.
...and in the good healthy relationship that I know you and your wife must have, you talk about those differences and then, because you both love each other, there is a little of accepting the differences and there is a little of meeting halfway.
As an individual citizen, I am willing to work with George Bush. I believe he is honest, I believe his faith in God is sincere (which is SO important because it means he will be open to God's guidance) and I believe he wants to do what is right for the America I was raised in, traditional, liberty-loving, God-fearing America.
Even if I dont agree with everything he does or how he goes about it.
My two personal biggest issues are the 2nd amendment and abortion. His statements and positions on the 2nd amendment, outside of making what I believe to be a pure political statement about the extension of the assault weapons ban...knowing it will not be approved in congress (and I really wish he wouldn't do that)...have been fair to good.
He says the right things about abortion and I am praying he will get the chance to appoint a Supreme Court Justice so that Roe V Wade can be overturned.
But that's just me. We shall see.
I could not in honesty say any of this about a Clinton or Gore.
To: Luis Gonzalez
Buenas dias mi hermano.
Take a moment, today take a long moment and imagine how just how much worse things could have gone.
I just took a moment to imagine if algore were president on that fatefull day. {{{Shuddering}}}.

Here is a Bill Whittle ping. Since I am not on my regular computer, this list may be dated - its possible there are omissions, or, someone may be on it who wished to be removed. In either case, I apologize.

You are absolutely the best...(well, might have to put Mia T up there in your range, and Alamo-girl hangs around at the top, too! LOL). Your perspective is so true...and wish our nation would step back for a moment and ponder the truth of which you speak. This really is quite an anniversary.

Hey Luis, I'll give credit where credit is due. GWB is doing a great job on the War on Terror (with the exception of his stance on Israel---hangin' them out to dry....btw, is Howard Dean advising him on that subject?).
