Free Republic

...nor am I an ex-Republican or a Jew. Today, I am simply an American. I am an American who mourns the loss of thousands of innocent non-military lives and the injury of thousands more. I am an American who mourns the abhorrent violence inflicted by people who are so adamantly against peace. I am an American father and husband who cherishes his family and friends. I am an American who hopes someday his children and grandchildren will know true peace and will never witness actions like these that will be indelibly etched in our collective mind, soul, and spirit. Like ...

Fox News just stated that the US Emergency Response plan has been put into effect. The Justice Deartment is in control. FEMA is fulfilling it's directive. Last fall Reno's Jusice Dept was given to billing. Now it's a reality. Ashcroft now has power we can only guess at. You can bet your a__ there's more to follow...

Thousands of Palestinians celebrated today's terror attacks in the United States, chanting "God is Great" and distributing candy to passers-by, even as their leader, Yassir Arafat, said he was horrified. The US Government has become increasingly unpopular in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the past year, with many Palestinians accusing Washington of siding with Israel. In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the government targets in Washington. Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. Several Palestinian ...

This is War By David Horowitz Today is Pearl Harbor.  The destruction of the World Trade Center, the attack on the Pentagon, the revelation to all the world that even the White House is vulnerable, should be a wake up call to Americans. This country is at war, and we are far behind in securing our citizens' safety and preparing for our defense. The country is at war. America has been soft. America has been in denial. Now it is time for Americans who love this country to stand up in her defense.  continue…

Fox just accounced that because of the attack that oli prices have gone up...This is a win, win for the Arabs..No more foreign aid to any Arab Nation!

September 11, 2001 This morning America suffered the largest and most vicious blow in her history. That blow killed thousands of Americans, including several friends and acquaintances of mine, persons I held in high esteem. It was struck by faceless men who placed the value of their own lives below the destruction of innocents. It was planned and financed by faceless men for whom hatred is the supreme value in life. But no, perhaps not, for the perpetrators are not men. Men recognize moral constraints. Men distinguish combatants from civilians. These are predators. My hope is that they will soon ...

I got a call from a friend on an army base a few minutes ago. He told me to fill up my car with gas. My wife went out with one car filled up for $1.52 she went back with my truck just few minutes later now its $1.89 in just a few minutes. Hunker dwon folks and keep your powder dry!

Due to today's tragedies I will not be posting any graphics. Please discuss today's events. If you have the chance, please give blood. Also prepare yourself and your families for a war. If there is a military action, we need to support our troops. God Bless all those who have been killed or effected by these terrorist acts. God bless those left behind and God Bless President Bush. No president has ever had to deal with anything like this before.

Washington DC Mayor Anthony Williams delivered a statement earlier this afternoon, which was broadcast on WJLA-7 (ABC affiliate). WJLA's report follows: Washington - Mayor Tony Williams has declared a state of emergency for the District. He's asking people to stay home and off the streets, if they can. The measures are being taken so public safety vehicles can move through the city in the event they're needed to respond to any explosion or other incident. Williams says the city's phone systems are working, and public safety personnel are fully deployed. The balance of the District government is closed -- at ...

On October 11th, U.S. Deputy Attorney General Jamie S. Gorelick appeared before the Council on Foreign Relations’ Policy Impact Panel on Terrorism to outline the Clinton Administration’s record on combating terrorism. According to Ms. Gorelick, the Clinton terrorism policy involves these three core elements: • To do “everything we can to deter and to prevent terrorist acts.” • To “respond quickly, decisively, and with a full range of law enforcement and other options that are available.” • To “work with our friends around the world to interdict terrorists and to assure that they do not go unpunished.” As with President ...

Expert: Terrorists Chose West Coast Flights for Fuel Load Hugh Sprunt, a columnist and analyst for NewsMax.com, reports the following: One little technical tidbit that I haven't seen anyone mention in the media yet (possible newshook) -- the aircraft involved appear to have all been aircraft leaving the East coast for the West coast this morning. One likely reason for this uniform selection is that the coast-to-coast flights would have a relatively full load of fuel on the planes -- that would mean more "bang for your buck" when the plane is crashed into the WTC Towers, The Pentagon, Camp ...

Islamabad, Sept 11, IRNA - Afghanistan ruling Taliban Tuesday strongly condemned attacks in New York and Washington and called for investigations into the incidents.

Clouds of Chaos From slumber to clouds of chaos, forsaking speech, our enemy returns to occupy our day. The flying souls of morning sky, with our birds screeching in horror, convolve in reluctant embrace, as tyrants glee at cadavers of twins. Buried friends of our history, their hands pierce the soil of coming Autumn, signaling an awakening in Manassas, pointing to tyrants who dance with terror. Abandoned purposes, rusting in elder souls, helplessly taking stock, oh why and what, scattered dry husks of freedom, cast aside a carousel of rage and shock. Foolishness exposed, our frivolity ends, we shall be ...
