But any resistance or reaction is "too much" from the invaders' point of view.
They prefer to keep their ideological and physical weapons factories humming deep inside our society unhindered.
Hence the constant stream of complaints.
If I can tell you're a muslim, you better keep your distance.
And no, I don't mean if I imagine you're a muslim. I mean if you are an "in your face" muslim in my country, you better be prepared for a hostile reception from me.
Thus, it's no surprise that some people are frightened into silence. Surely expressing anger might cause them to lose their jobs or to be sue and lose their saving since even minor coments cause an uproar. Think Johnny Rocker. He was set up as an example.
As for me, I'm angry at the terrorists. At others also. I even hate greedy people who keep filing trivial lawsuits.
Just for comparison sake, look at the reaction to Pearl Harbor compared to the WTC reaction. I really dispair for our future.
This is sickening. The federal government's open-door policy allowed terrorists to wander freely within our country and murder thousands resulting in the people having MORE trust in government? Airport security in the United States has turned to frisking little old ladies in wheelchairs and the people have MORE trust in government?
Absolutely! Damn the government schools to hell.
I said it then and I'll say it again: it will take two or more 9/11's to shake off this moral malaise.
My reaction now is "Nuke Mecca, Medina, Baghdad, Riyadh, Cairo, and use daisy cutters on Gaza, the West Bank, and Paris." Or better yet, build a wall encircling everything from Algeria to India, running just under Turkey (they're on probation) and then fill it with water.
Spoken like a true Scorpio!
should self-preservation be one of their priorities (oh please, let it not be so :-),
this would be a good area for the appeasers and rag-lovers to avoid this week.
solid red, and very pro 2A (not to mention Louisville Slugger) territory.
'course, the pussies never have spent much time out this way, dammit ... 
That is, the commemorations, the school programs, the 'interfaith services' in most Freepers' hometowns over there, the nonstop TV programming, that we will all witness across the US and in Embassies around the world, will be devoid of one important factor (or reference to it).
THAT THERE WAS AND IS AN ENEMY.
The fact there was an enemy in the first place brought all of this ENEMY still is that we risk another attack, maybe in a fashion we would never imagine in our worst nightmare.
The American people have been psychologically de-balled. When you have no common thought against the ENEMY and a unified feeling of hatred at them and their attacks with an equally strong thirsty resolve to totally destroy them, you will NEVER win the war.
This is very discouraging but for sure it is very prevalent in the US now, even just one year shy of the attacks. The psyche of America has changed.
Thank you Oprah Winfrey.
It looks like it would take a "9-11" disaster on American soil once every six months or so, because the time frame for America to have rememberance, outrage, resolve and hatred for the enemy, steeped in common sense in an atmosphere where the liberal PC crap-pushers have to keep their sniveling mouths shut for fear of a backlash.....last(ed) only about SIX MONTHS.
In our churches, our schools, our government and society in general, we have forgotten the source of morality (God). Instead, we have become afraid to challenge those who wish to define it for us, based on good-sounding, but ultimately absurdist ideas (such a tolerance for anything and everything, multiculturalism, pan-sexuality). In addition, even those who are 'religious' are now so uneducated about God's morality that we don't even understand the wisdom of it. We have become moral shadows of our former selves - and our society shows us this every day. Most people do not know what they believe anymore on moral principles, or why they do believe what they do. And when they do, they are afraid to stand up for what they believe in.
