Wednesday - May 19, 2004IngratesI've been very clear in the past and always that
I have nothing but deep sympathy for the people who were murdered in New York
City, Pennsylvania, and Virginia nearly three years ago by Muslims. I have
great sympathy for their families as well, though I never supported the obscene
amounts of money they were given by me and the other tax payers. So not only
was our nation robbed of these lives, these buildings, and all those records and
treasures, but we were additionally punished by having to give these families
millions of dollars each. This pandering is unprecedented in the history of our
nation.
But I resent the ingrates that are now using the funds that we paid them off with, to commit political smear campaigns against various politicians, most specifically today in the 9/11 commission hearings where they were disruptive and rude to the people responsible for saving thousands of lives that day. They have a lot of nerve. They do not represent the victims in that attack so much as they are purely partisan hacks. So let's look at their complaints. Their rude interruptions were aimed at those who
claim that radios weren't working properly and other procedures were not in
place that they claim may have saved more
lives.
From what I can tell, there may have been some confusion in fighting the fires and dealing with the chaos, but I think that any rational person would expect that. They complain that helicopters didn't rescue people from the roof tops, but it's reasonable to conjecture that landing on a burning building might be just a wee bit hazardous to the aircraft and crew. Let's face it folks. The ranting ingrates, who were all given so much money that they will never have to work again in their lifetimes, represent nothing except that everything in our nation is now politicized to an extreme not seen in a long time, if ever. I think we are starting to witness the failure of democratic institutions. I'll do another rant about this in the future in more detail, and I'll just say for now that we are in dire need of a leader who can unite us and distract us from the petty bureaucratic political infighting that has characterized US politics since the late 1980's. If we don't find a leader like that, we are doomed to degenerate into pointless squabbles that will end in our destruction. We are in a war for the survival of our culture against murderous Islam, a renewal of the ancient war between the two halves of the Roman Empire. We can't afford to lose.
