Limbaugh commented on his show a week or so ago that each of the 9-11 survivor's families -- not necessarily the cops and fire rescue personnel -- will get an average of something over a million bucks for their loss.

The family of a GI KIA gets around 6 grand! I lament the dead from 9-11 as much as anyone, but there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with THAT picture.

Worth repeating.

I'm with you. This is hard hitting stuff.
The time for pussy footing, whimpering is over.
The media WILL turn this into an Opra moment, but
no anger, no thunderous retrobution will be allowed.
No "trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored." here.
Just more , "Why don't they like us? Because our evil foreign policy is bad bad bad!"

Bump and thanks!

Watch. There will be manufactured solemnity, factitious reverence, sorrow by Disney, and an unremitting ooze of therapy. Heaven help us, we’ll probably get in touch with our feelings, and Heal. Maybe booths will sell cotton candy.

Yep. Nail on the head stuff.

We are in the middle of a "religious" wae. Everywhere Mohammedism exists in enough strength to express itself and throw its weight around, it is a plague and has been for more than 1,000 years. It's conducting terror operations in Indonesia, in the Philippines, in Africa, hers, against Israel, and anywhere else it can obtain a foothold. It must be discredited for the aggressive psychosis it is. In those areas where it is conducting operations, it must be absolutely crushed. What is instead taking place is implementation of a desire to have a '50s love-in. It's going to get us killed.
