I completely agree with you, rintense!
As I drove around today, I was completely overwhelmed by the patriotism I saw and felt.........flags everywhere- on homes, trucks, in windows, in the town square; red, white and blue ribbons, patriotic clothing, shirts, jackets, ties.......it was so moving I wept most of the day.
The President was magnificent and moving, and I thought as I heard the responses to his strength, the American public is finally seeing what we here on this thread have seen from the beginning in this man; his dignity, strength, warmth, humility, resolve, and patriotism. For us there are no surprises here. He is doing and saying what we knew he would. He is being the leader that God has given him the ability, strength and willingness to be.
Our nation is blessed.
Muslims around the world must stand up NOW, TODAY, and repeatedly denounce the violence and carnage in New York. Muslim LEADERS must keep telling the self-deluded "martyrs" that they are going straight into the fires of HELL when they die, not into the arms of loving maidens as they reportedly believe. These so-called "men" must be DEPROGRAMMED from their hate by respected clerics of their own faith heritage. Please!! Muslims around the world, speak out often and loudly and let the truth be heard. Only the truth can set us free.
I think you are right.
I have been looking at this thread every day I see it since Jan. 20. I don't know why, there is just something very reassuring about it. Maybe we are begining to understand why that is. Thanks for posting these pictures every day. It is very appreciated.
I work at an elementary school and it was heartwarming to see so many young kids dressed in red, white, and blue today. Feelings of patriotism are surging!
It's a shame that it took something like this to bring people together and feeling love for their country in this manner, but at least there has been this one good thing that has happened as a result of this disaster.
Dittos and well stated. And we also know from the look on his face during his speeches since Tuesday that those who committed these horrible atrocities should be VERY, very afraid.
