Everything we do, all our decisions make a difference in who we are and how life turns out. We focus on the big things and try to control them when if we had simply paid more attention to the smaller every day things, life would be much smoother.
We miss those small details that could have made such a difference in the lives of others and ourselves. We tend to forget what an act of kindness could mean. We don't speak out when it's needed or more importantly, we don't hold our tongues when we should.
I fully believe we will be held accountable for all our actions and non-actions. Maybe that chord is going directly to God.

As Jesus says, "whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." (People overthink this and try to make it into a spiritual warfare thing, but it's really about what you treat as important.)

Or, as Knowdaverbs says it, "what you rock now, and how you rock now echoes in eternity."

9-11

Seven years now, but it seems like yesterday until I think about it has changed my life. That evening I wrote:

"This is a war like no other. It will be a war of extermination, and it will continue until the last terrorist rat is driven from his hole and killed."

I have never deviated from that. I discovered Charles and LGF a few months later. I said to myself, "this is a guy who gets it."

I have been here ever since.

Hello, night lizards!

Seems to me all the MSM is in denial and coverup mode on 0bambi. Yes, he blatently called his opponent a pig, and a stinking fish. Oh, he put a thin layer of deniability over it, but yes, he did it. Nothing wrong with it, either, but that's what he did. Having the press deny it, is a sick joke.

re: #23 Badge of Kaffir Pride

The moonbats gave up before the term was coined, before the rubble had stopped falling. It was their default position, the chance to bring back the glory days of the 60s. They own defeat and surrender in a profoundly personal sense. It isn't political to them, it is the very basis of their lifestyle and image and identity itself.

From the killing fields of Cambodia to the smoke of the World Trade Center, the pop-left subculture has blood on its hands. It will perish with the terrorists themselves.

Even on 9-11, many warned that it would be a very long war. It is not over yet and it won't be for many years, but I am in it for the long haul.

The definition of a long war to the left is one that lasts longer than an episode of MTV Cribs.

I don't think they realize that occasionally, to keep a civilization intact, some people have to die. Unfortunately, on both sides but more of those that wish to harm your nation/Western civilization.

Civilizations aren't murdered, they're killed by suicide... and the left has the gun in their mouth.

I was already 51 on 9-11. I never dreamed that it would take me back to war at my age, but I decided then and there that I would go if I got the chance.
The chance came in 2005, as a contractor in Iraq, and I took it. I was a civilian this time, hired to survey pipelines, but I knew the situation and I wasn't kiddling myself. I had read CS Lewis during the year since my youthful excursion in Vietnam. I remembered something he wrote about his first experience of the trenches during World War I:
"This is war. This is what Homer wrote about."
And so it was.

Well, there are more of us out there. Trust me, do you know that there is a waiting list to get into the Canadian Armed Forces? The last I heard the bare minimum to enlist was a college education.

If I didn't have a blown ACL/LCL from Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica, I'd enlist especially if it meant the liberation of Afghanistan was where I'd be going. Harper, although maybe a little "cold" to most, is the leader the West needs to pair with McCain. Perhaps the stoutness of our continent can be rectified.

I flew to NYC so I could be at the first reading of the names at the WTC.

The thing i remember the most is back then we as AMERICANS were still united it wasn't till the donks lost the 02 elections that the BDS started in ernest.

Welcome fellow matamoros. Today we remember what we lost and can never forget or forgive. The long war burns silently in the background and too many have forgotten the evil we fight. We are far from powerless even if we feel impotent. Our knowledge is power and yet we see now that we are living the the beginning of a new age of ignorance and darkness. This is not the silver future I wanted.

There will be a time when we will have to take the stage rather than being silent observers. We have learned much of the threat and have gained much knowledge. We understand the evil behind what happen on 9/11. We must not be afraid to use this knowledge. This is going to be a very long war and truth was the first victim. Nothing will be solved by just waiting for things to change. - Ozymandias

re: #40 ploome hineni

Which is why, taken in context of the whole election so far, it's quite obvious that Obama meant to slam Palin.

This has been quite the eye-opener for me. It appears that everyone's fear of appearing racist doesn't extend to avoiding looking like a misogynist. Even on FOX yesterday they kept asking MEN if they thought Obama intended to call Palin a pig.

/Hell-ll-ll-ooooooooo?

“Palin is a shallow, chirpy person with those vaguely alarming eyeglasses. Now her fans all want a pair. Remember back when women wore glasses that departed their ears in plastic swoops and swirls? My theory is, anyone who wears glasses that look weird is telling me something I don’t want to know.

I trust the American people will see through Palin’s facade, and save the Republic in November. The most damning indictment against her is that she considered herself a good choice to be a heartbeat away. That shows bad judgment.”

Who knew roger ebert was such a dick?

Woke up thinking about 9-11. Lost nearly 300 colleagues that day, including Laura Longing who had only been back to work about 2 weeks following a maternity leave. Came into the office that morning and heard that a plane had hit the World Trade Towers and I immediately dialed 212 312 .... to talk to our NY sales leader but no answer. A scary, horrible day that changed me forever.

From Redeemed by Heather King:

The operator tried to calm her down, but a few minutes later, Doi panicked: ‘I’m gong to die, aren’t I?’ she asked. ‘No no no,’ the operator replied. ‘I’m going to die,’ Doi repeated. ‘Say your prayers,’ the operator advised. ‘Oh God, it’s so hot. I’m burning up,’ Doi replied. Several minutes later, the line on her end went silent. And here’s the thing, really, in a way — one of the very few things we have to hold onto: the operator continued to speak to her for another 20 minutes, ’soothingly, according to the Los Angeles Times article, ‘repeating Doi’s name over and over, calling her ‘dear.’

Take a moment:

Last missing soldier identified

ALMOST 39 years after he was killed in the Vietnam war, Private David Fisher - the last of Australia's missing soldiers - will return home.

The Federal Government says the remains of the Special Air Service Regiment trooper, recovered in southern Vietnam last month, have been officially identified.

Pte Fisher was the last of the missing army personnel to be found in Vietnam, following the recovery of the remains of three others last year.

There are still two members of the air force - Flying Officer Michael Herbert and Pilot Officer Robert Carver - who are unaccounted for.

Oh, yes - hydrocodone i.e. Vicodin. And they gave me a bigger dose than the ER gave me last week. Fortunately the surgery wasn't too bad - an oral surgeon did it in his office operating suite. Apparently different types of surgeons do this work in different parts of the country - here it's the oral and maxillofacial surgeons who do it. And they use some really strong happy juice so I really don't remember much - except spouting some really strange gibberish on the way home!

It is nothing. She was well within her right to fire the boss of a bad trooper who did nothing about abuse of power under his watch.

Also- could you imagine how it would be spun otherwise? That Governor Palin didn't care about abuses going on within the Trooper department? That would be worse frankly. Why a drunken child abuser got to keep his job is beyond me.

My two cents on the Sarah Palin 'troopergate' scandal: If its corruption to pressure a political appointee who serves at the pleasure of Governor to fire a state trooper who used a taser on a 10 year old boy, drank beer while driving a patrol car, and threatened to kill his father in law, then I think we need a lot more 'corruption'.

Mr Palin is the only spouse who gets his hands dirty on the job, he had a well paying blue collar job but it was still a blue collar job

HE IS CLEARLY ONE OF US WE GET IT.

re: #87 MrPaulRevere

On this special day, I find myself at a loss for words, other than to say you are on roll, and to give dings.

Many thanks again, Paul.

Remembering the date has got me stirred up.

Everyone who was alive in this country remembers what it was like.

I had worked late and was still at home with no tv or computer turned on. My daughter called from Chicago. She was working in the Sears tower at the time. She asked me if I had seen the news about a plane hitting the WTC in New York. I said, "Huh?" She explained and I turned on the TV just in time to see the second plane hit.
She saw it too on their office TV. I will never forget her next words. She said, calmly and with no hesitation at all, "Daddy, this is not an accident." I told her, no, it wasn't; and for her to get out of the building and out of the Loop as quickly as possible. Her boss came in about that time and announced an evacuation. It was a very bad moment, since nobody knew at that point whether there were two attackers or two hundred, and I thought every tall building in the country might be a target.

yochanan! :-)

Yup.

re: #106 MrPaulRevere

I agree- and according to the guy she fired- it wasn't her that applied the alleged pressure. It's much ado about nothing.

I encourage all the newbies to visit the Never Forget section in the upper left margin. Tillie's Story, in particular.

re: #116 goddessoftheclassroom

Good morning goddess. A lot of eyes were opened that day. Unfortunately some people chose to hit the snooze alarm.

I vividly remember my answering machine going off several times (I work nights and sleep late) until I got fed up and I grabbed the phone and asked little brother "what the hell do you want" ? He said turn on the TV. I was horrified as I saw one of the buildings fall as I knew hundreds of people had just died. We owe it to future generations to pass on our memories, and never, ever forget our outrage and righteous anger.

'Morning, goddess.

I'm going to save my thoughts on 9/11 for now, and I hope you all don't mind.

But my thoughts and prayers are with the families today.

Hehe

I was just looking up some of my past 9-11 comments and happened to run across this one from September 10, 2004, the day after the now-legendary throbbing memo had made its first appearance:

Lyndon Johnson, 1968: "If we've lost Cronkite, we've lost the war."

George W. Bush, 2004: "If we've lost Rather, who gives a shit?"

The establishment media have already lost this battle, just having their word challenged in public is a huge setback for them.

"On That Day" - Leonard Cohen

Some people say
It's what we deserve
For sins against g-d
For crimes in the world
I wouldn't know
I'm just holding the fort
Since that day
They wounded New York
Some people say
They hate us of old
Our women unveiled
Our slaves and our gold
I wouldn't know
I'm just holding the fort
But answer me this
I won't take you to court
Did you go crazy
Or did you report
On that day
On that day
They wounded New York

Hide from the public eye, choose to appear when it suits you
Claim you're just, killing women and children
Fight, when you choose to fight, hide in a cave when you're hunted
Like a beast spawned from hell, utilizing fear

Chosen by god or a coward insane?
Stand up and show me your face!

Suicidal, in a trance
A religious army
Fight without a uniform and hide in the crowd
Call it holy, call it just
Authorized by heaven
Leave your wounded as they die, and call it gods will

Run when its time to pay, fear consequence of your action
Reappear, when you're almost forgotten
Dream of a world in peace, yet you cause pain and destruction
Kill your own, a response of your actions

Captured in all you lies, fear is in your eyes
Creature who's gone insane, your war is in vain
Trapped in a cage of stone, we'll destroy your home
Consequence of your action

-Sabaton, In the name of god, 2006

This is a creepy thread to wake up to in the middle of the night.

{luckygirl}

It's a solemn day.

The seldom heard second and third verses of the Battle Hymn of the Republic:

I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
"As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.

I am in fact agnostic, but this glorious song perfectly summarizes the righteousness and justice of our cause, and the steadfastness that will bring final victory.

I am heartsick at the killing and the grief, but let it continue until the last terrorist is dragged from his hole and killed; and until the last traitor is sentenced, and the last enabler reduced to poverty and disgrace.

Good morning, Lizards.

We were discussing at work where we were seven years ago today and memories were flooding back. It was was last year of high school and I remember everyone saying the world was radically changed and changed forever. I thought to myself "This is horrendously bad, but could this change the world forever- no way." How wrong I was.

THIS BRINGS BACK SOME OF THE SADNESS I think that is a good thing

I DON'T WANT TO FORGET

I was in Atlanta working. My client rushed in and said "A plane just flew into the Twin Towers!." I blew him off (thinking of the earlier attempt... thinking it was a little plane ... perhaps a stupid accident...). When he returned, saying that a second plane had hit the towers, I felt a horrid chill and KNEW that we were under attack.

Good morning everyone. My heart still aches and the images are still fresh in my mind. Just want to sit with you all for a while...

Wow... same here. A kid was last for the first class and he told us a little plane flew into the WTC. We joked about how stupid the pilot was the whole class. I then had to take something to the journalism class and they were watching the news in there. I just stood at the door and forgot why I had even gone to the class.

That's amazing.

I woke up late (night shift), flipped on the news and began to make coffee.

Oh some plane hit a building in NYC in clear weather—probably some tourist looking instead of flying, I thought. Remembered that a B-25 did the same thing in WW II.

Didn't pay it too much attention.

Then there was a second plane...

Then my thought was, "Oh my G-d, we're at war."

I don't remember if I ever got the coffee made.

re: #138 NC State of Mind

I was working a convention. We were in charge of multiple video kiosks. My client was "fighting" changing the video feed to the news coverage of the event "because attendees had paid to have commercials air on the kiosks." I had to get in his face and ... using a LOT of profanity.... tell him to "Change the ***** feeds to the *** news! Nobody cares a **** about the **** commercials at this time! You *************************!"

I finally got through.

I did not have a t.v. back in those days (my wife being a frum jew) so i was going shopping at the drug store and when i went into the store I noticed they had a t.v. on it was after the first plane hit and i was watching the news coverage of that when the second plane hit live IT TOTALLY CHANGE ME I still cry when i think about it as I am doing right now.

re: #143 luckygirl

For your sanity, I sure hope you made a lot of money off of that guy.

Remembering:

[Link: www.neatorama.com...]

I posted this on the previous thread as well.

I was up at my dads in Ottawa having breakfast listening to the radio. heard about the first plane crash, and turned on the t.v. for the second one. Spent the rest of the morning and afternoon on the couch curled up in a comforter because I was so cold. It was a beautiful day too, temperature wise.

Here's the funny thing. Back in 93 I was up north in Sudbury on a mini vacation with my youngest brother when the first bombing happened. Both times were the only real vacations I had in a long time. Made me a little gun shy about taking time off. Didn't want anything else bad happen.

/I felt cursed

Short version of my 9/11/01- I voted.

re: #148 NC State of Mind

Believe it or not he was a Jew and didn't "get it". But that had nothing to do with how stupid and materialistic he was. I repeat NOTHING! This client was just horrid through and through. To him being a Jew was buying Hanakkah presents and being a citizen of the USA meant buying expensive cars and Christmas presents. He was an empty suit and I no longer work with him. (He also cheated on his wife.... aka the source of the major portion of his income.... extensively. I would not be surprised if she had left him ... and left him in poverty... since then.) Vent over.

I lost a few friends because of 9/11.

Oh their still here but we don't talk anymore.

Every time the conversation turned to politics I became their surrogate GW Bush.

And I stood in for it for a while. But eventually it just got nasty.

I was a racist, loon, retard, dolt, sycophant, ass kisser, and several epithets that are a little personal to repeat.

I had warned them at the outset that the war on terror was not a war in the old sense -- it was going to be a long multi-pronged campaign. I also said we were going to see who are friends and enemies really were. Man did I sure did find that out on a personal level.

One day people will not remember this date.

It's the natural progression of things I suppose.

Here's hoping the reason we forget is because we vanquished evil and not because we sucumbed to it.

BTW. Best wishes for all of the Houston Area Lizards, their friends, and their loved ones.

re: #23 Badge of Kaffir Pride

We can only hope that it is allowed to go until " the last terrorist rat is driven from his hole and killed." I think the moonbats will give up long before then.

Oh, the moonbats gave up 5 years ago and are now actively aiding the enemy. Didn't you get the memo?

It was the most perfect late summer morning here in the Northeast.Brilliant clear sky,dry and warm.A friend from 50 miles downstate called and told me to turn on the tv.I could not stand the thought of being alone all day and jumped into my car to drive to his house.We watched in silence, numbed by the atrocity.My first emotion was anger, and it is what I continue to feel. Especially when reading surveys of people blaming the USA, Israel, and "unknown" for the attacks.

re: #149 scottishbuzzsaw

You know... I never saw them. I always put off going... "too busy, it's too cold... too broke...etc." After 9/11 I immediately bought a ticket and went.

I had a friend there (whose company had an office in the first tower... I couldn't reach him for over a week...) that I stayed with. I told him that I didn't need to see Ground Zero. I told him that I "knew" what happened there and that I didn't need to be a "lookie loo". After dinner one evening ... nice dinner... Italian, wine, after dinner cordials... etc.... He decided that I needed to see it. Without telling/warning me we took a cab and popped out at Ground Zero. It was still on fire and there was the awful smell... and the thousands of photos and flowers and memorials. I bawled my eyes out (and subsequently HAD to wear sunglasses the entire next day...) and HAVE NEVER AND NEVER WILL FORGET IT!

re: #154 Tigger2005

re: #153 unclassifiable

I hear you dear! I actually took on an Irish lad that I overheard (at a communal table) saying... "These Americans just have to get over it! We deal with the IRA all the time...." I "calmly" lashed out telling him that "We don't deal with terrorism all the time ... and that the last time we were attacked on our soil was about 60 years ago ... and when did a silly molitov cocktail take out nearly 3,000 people?" This was 2 days after the attack.

He shut the f*** up. As he should have. I hate to think what I would have done had he "submitted more input".

“For some white, working-class voters who don’t want to vote for Barack Obama but weren’t sure about McCain, Palin gave them a good reason to take another look and consider supporting McCain,” Rosenthal said.

Safe travels to you!

It's midday on 9/11 in the UK.

I didn't loose anyone that day but a close family friend (an Aussie) was due to have a meeting near the top floor but it was re-arranged for below the point of impact.

He lived. Many, many citizens of the USA, UK and many other countries did not. He now lives way out in the hills of North Carolina, with his lovely family.

Deep respects to those who were not so lucky - especially those who knowingly put their lives at risk like the firemen.

We have a medal in the UK for Air Force personnel which is labeled "for courage". Bravery is going in regardless. To me, courage is thinking about it, knowing the risk, counting the cost and going in anyway. A lot of people deserve that medal on 9/11.

My thoughts are with you.

P.S. Distinguished Flying Medal:

re: #172 ibmkeyboard

I could care less about race and gender. Culture is a bit of an issue if there is a proven record of pressing an agenda based on that "culture". I don't see that as an issue with McCain/Palin. I am an atheist and pro-choice. I don't feel threatened by this ticket. I am also a capitalist. I DO feel threatened by the Obama/Oatmeal ticket.

Okay, I wasn't that lazy. Here's a contact page where you can send e-mails from. Has some basic rules on what to do.

I was correcting homework at 1130 Bangkok time when a crypto-Islamist Brit friend (Irish mom, Paki dad) called, VERY EXCITED, saying "You GOTTA turn the TV on, NOW!"

So I did, and puzzled a few minutes over what's happening, then gasped as plane Two hit!

re: #185 luckygirl

Lucky, my Brit-writer friend here shared a story he heard from HIS friend, the chief fire constable for that section of London, the man who escorted 'Red' Ken Livingstone down into the subway tube and to the scene of the bombing...

Although 'Red Ken' was chipper and composed (almost flippant) at the start, by the time they got within 150 meters of the emergency crews responding, they were deafened by the shrieks of TENS of THOUSANDS of RATS, come to feast on dead, dying and wounded...

Then Red Ken was escorted into the scene, and made to look at the effects of 2 kilograms of C4 surrounded by nails, exploding in a closet-full of humans...

Shaken, pale and wobbly after vomiting, he was escorted to the surface while the heroes continued evacuating the wounded, keeping the rats away and reinforcing the 1880's brick ceiling, about to crash down on them!

re: #189 luckygirl

If we get attacked for supporting Israel... BRING IT ON! I would personally support Israel to the death!

Amen to that! After hearing the results of a 22 nation world poll yesterday telling us how much we Americans need to elect Obama, I was felt like an Israeli citizen for a day. Can you imagine living in Israel and constantly hearing from outsiders what you should do with your country? Especially when that advice would bring about the most damning results possible.

This is the anniversary of the day where I became a "take no prisoners war-monger.".

The Old Farmer's Almanac is going further out on a limb than usual this year, not only forecasting a cooler winter, but looking ahead decades to suggest we are in for global cooling, not warming.
Based on the same time-honored, complex calculations it uses to predict weather, the Almanac hits the newsstands on Tuesday saying a study of solar activity and corresponding records on ocean temperatures and climate point to a cooler, not warmer, climate, for perhaps the next half century.

re: #226 Pullus Iulius

Personally, I'd rather see both candidates in the senate chamber today, doing their jobs, than at Ground Zero attempting to appear apolitical. Maybe it's just me.

I would tend to agree with you, but I'm always happier when senators of any stripe stay away from their work :)

So...you're an Obama supporter, right?

I have only one message to send to the Islamofascist Bastards and all who support them in any way, shape, or form.

WE WILL COME FOR YOU.

Who knew roger ebert was such a dick?

Criticizing her eyeglasses? It's jealousy.

I bet they're afraid women and girls will like Sarah Palin as much as they liked Princess Diana.

Was going to point that out myself.

You're joking, of course. I just got a little chill thinking someone thought that.

re: #244 Rancher

Is lipstickgate over?

I sure hope so. IMO, the abortion comments were much worse. If the Dems want to complain about the issues, then stop saying stupid ****

Also, this lying sack of crap Obama says he wants a debate about the issues and all the Republicans can talk about is lipstick. We've got two wars going on!

McCain should respond: Senator Obama, What was your response when I suggested ten town hall debates?
Oh right, shut up.

What is stunning that two (NYC and LA) of the top three cities (D.C.) on the dirty bomb/future attack wish list are as blue as they get.

Don't you love the fact that they are all looking over their shoulders at all times? Sleeping with one eye open? Jumping at the slamming of each door? Each time there is a noise? Each time it is quiet?

Don't you just love the fact that they can't take a crap without worrying if they are going to be found in that embarrassing position?

Don't you just love that they have to pray with their forehead against a rug and their fingers crossed behind their back?

Don't you love the fact that they can't make love to their wives (or goats) without thinking of us coming through the door and seeing their private parts that have been shriveled and shrunken by fear?

These are some of the things have kept us safe. Their fear.

Jorline.....you out there.....what are your plans. Looks like you might be on the clean side of this one.

God Bless America

C-SPAN live - dedication of the Pentagon memorial.

Bush will be there and if he says Islam is a religion of peace again I am going to scream.

Okay, scottishbuzzsaw has the coffee; who has the tea?

re: #257 Fat Bastard Vegetarian

And yet there are people who say that the government's reaction has created an environment of paranoia that gives the terrorists no reason to stage new attacks.

WTF...

PROTIP - we've made it safe for you to say that!

/FDR had a great saying on fear...
