This guy is an absolute lunatic.
The dead at Ground Zero were not saints? Hundreds of firemen rushed headlong up the stairs of a burning tower, even though they knew another tower had just collapsed. Why? Because they were prepared to sacrifice their lives to save others. That's pretty saintly.
Fred is a "conservative"? No, he's a cowardly defeatist.
If you're not part of the solution - that is, keeping the memory of our dead alive and our resolve to fight strong - then you're part of the problem.
Reed is practically a collaborator. He's certainly not a patriot.

Don't you get it?? Where is our resolve to fight? There is no resolve to fight! There's just a bunch of mawkish sentimentality and a herculean effort to avoid offending Muslims, to the point where the San Jose Mercury News publishes a whitewash of Islam in the Family & Religion section on Rosh HaShannah, one of the most important Jewish holidays.
One year after Pearl Harbor we had Rosie the Riveter filling in while our boys were off kicking ass and taking names as they stomped from island to island across the Pacific.
Meanwhile we're debating whether to go after terrorist sympathizers and supporters, and whether to arm our pilots.

I think you may be over-reacting a bit on this article. He's right about "what are we doing", and spot on about the issues such as not lettings kids even DRAW a picture of a gun.

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.
And Fred has the whimpering police state thing spot on.
