I will never forget where I was on September 11th. I was in a doctor's office, and the towers had already been hit, although there was no clear idea just how serious the damage was yet, if my memory serves correctly today.
It was a neurologist's office, you see. I suffered a head injury a long time ago, and as a consequence, my memory is, to some (small) degree, impaired. I can remember recent events - I can remember many years...
I just can't remember my childhood. Oh well.
But back to 9-11. My horror when the Towers fell was no less than anyone else, and the torture the events of that day induced on this country, let alone the families of those who died that day, was not only unbearable, it was unbelievable.
We swore, as a nation, that day, to never forget the horror of New York's violation, and we promised that those who were responsible would see the justice they were due for their terrible actions.
They were captured, and at Gitmo, they confessed. They asked to be put to death. They believed, after all, that all the pleasures of a Islamic martyrdom were waiting for them in the afterlife. They wanted to be martyrs, remembered as a reason for those who followed to commit ever more terrible acts in the name of their God.
Fast-forward to 2009, and the Presidency of Barack H. Obama. Nancy Pelosi is the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Democrats are making the decisions for the people of our nation, whether the people like those decisions or not. Gitmo is something the Democrats have demonized, and the acts of torture that were necessary there in order to protect our nation (these are terrorists... not American citizens, and they are not due the rights of American citizens) are something they consider a horror.
Now, we have the monsters returning to New York City, and the President and his political associates do not seem to understand the danger they are putting New York in. Once again, all that matters are HIS (THEIR) beliefs, and not the wants of the people.
New York has been bled enough by those monsters, Mr. President.
Leave us alone.

Here Comes Big Brother!
I woke up early this morning, expecting nothing big on the day, at least not at the start of it. I figured that Annie (my better half) and I would perhaps get some breakfast, and just enjoy the day together. She was still asleep, however, and I decided, therefore (after managing to avoid the two kittens who rip across my apartment floor all day...) to watch a little television.
The news wasn't something I was interested in this early, this morning, but I had left Fox News as the channel on the cable box before I went to bed last night, and didn't bother changing the channel when I put on the 'channel guide' that my cable system provides.
It was, therefore, that I heard the 'news alert' in the background, telling me that Nancy Pelosi and her associates passed the monstrosity the Democrats call a health care reform bill last night.
The smile of triumph on Pelosi's face was nauseating.
You would hope she would have gotten a clue after Election Day. The voters in Virginia abandoned her party to make all the major posts Republican. In New Jersey, John Corzine was told, 'Go Away'.
Apparently that doesn't mean a thing.
We were told that Pres. Obama essentially 'ignored' the results of the election, and apparently that applies to Pelosi, even if she did see the numbers. The people, by their actions, said that they did not want what her party was offering them.
It looks like she's too blind to notice... that, or she doesn't care.
My guess is that it's the second. She doesn't care what the people want. She (and her party) know what's best for them and for the United States!
The bill goes to the Senate, now. We have to hope they care more about the People of this country's desires (and beliefs) than the House of Representatives does.
In addition, would you believe that the only way she got some of the members of her own party on board with this bill was by putting in an amendment (re: abortion) that I have heard is going to make no difference of any kind, in the long run? Whether they agreed with the bill before or no is not something I'm certain of. Now that it has what they want in it, whether they agree with the rest doesn't mean a thing (to them).
Our elected officials (or at least some of them) are now going against the will of the people (who put them in office). The whole point behind elections is to place people in the positions of authority within our government who will forward our desires in the path of our nation.
Not to put a group of selfish, arrogant people who ignore our desires in charge.

It's November 4, 2009 - a day after Obama's candidates (no matter how much he claims that the elections mean absolutely nothing...) in both New Jersey and Virginia losing to the Republicans. People are making their feelings clear, whether our President and his Democratic associates choose to let themselves see it or not.
Oh well.
The Election says something about what the people of this country think now of their once-called Obama-siah, and they do not think as well of him as his Liberal friends want them to. Obama supporters (among young people and minorities) did not show up for the election in various parts of New Jersey, and with that act they made their wonts known.
Obama is at least claiming that the elections don't matter... but whether they do or not - that is not the matter I am here to discuss, at least for right now.
During the day, our President was asked to attend the memorial of the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany.
The Obama-siah said, essentially, that he did not have the time to attend'. Something to that effect, but his words were a great deal more abrupt and a good deal ruder than my choice here (or at least I felt they were - he did not use any inappropriate language, but that is not the point, in a situation of this sort..).
I can already see Pres. Reagan spinning in his grave. Obama's behavior is an insult not only to him (and the Germans), but to EVERY person who died trying to cross that wall OR who went down fighting the tyranny that was the USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics).
As was said on Rush Limbaugh's radio show today (I paraphrase)... 'of course he (Obama) isn't there! Socialists won't celebrate their failures, after all!' Only too true...
We also have a comment from some of the news media, who apparently said that the Democrats lost because they were not socialist enough!. Really scary how hard you have to hit these people before they take a hint, isn't it? They still aren't taking one! The Dems. are landing bullet after bullet into their collective feet, and they do not seem to understand the harm they're doing to their collective political futures.
Oh well... we made our feelings known with our votes, so if they choose to ignore those feelings by their actions, then during the next election, they'll find out something that anyone who's been shot, I'm sure, can tell you.
Lead poisoning is a bitch.
Oh well.
