When Will The Real America Stand UP?

 

Today, as we are remembering the heroism of the first responders and the sacrifice of those who died on September 11, 2001 my thoughts are running  a gamut of interrelated related thoughts.  I have already mentioned elsewhere my thoughts on the 9/11 attacks themselves. so I will not be addressing that day in any detail.

I remember in November 2001 going to Bush International Airport in Houston to board an Air Canada flight to Calgary, Canada. I remember the bomb Squad searching the car as we entered the airport property and then waiting for the doors of the International Terminal to open and allow us in. We had to wait until the National Guard soldier were positioned throughout the terminal.

As we entered the airport I remember thinking, "I've never seen an empty airport like this but one previous time. That was in Zurich when  we arrived at 2:00 in the morning. It was me, Susan and a mouse running through the terminal. But I digress.

As I made my through the nearly empty airport I struck up a conversation with a First Sargent with his weapon in hand. We were both looking for coffee. We finally found a small place that had just opened, got our coffee and sat down to visit. I remember commenting that being in the airport under the present circumstances reminded me of when  the terrorist back in 1973 attacked the airport lobby and a man died right where I had been standing just one week earlier to the day and time.

As we talked he chucked as he showed me he ha no ammunition for his weapon and said if that happened today he'd be of little help. He said he was there as a "show" of force but not to be a force.

He asked me why we were flying so soon after the September 11th. attack. I said, my wife and I planned this trip one year ago and I was determined to set an example for my family, friends and church members that we cannot allow a handful of terrorist regardless of the scope of their crimes cause us to altar our lives. The times may not be "as usual" but I can certainly conduct myself as I always do.

I wanted everyone to know that those savage calculating animals (yes I called them savage and I called them animals) who commandeered those planes and destroyed so many lives had failed. Oh, sure they killed a lot of innocent people (that's what terrorist do) and destroyed a lot of property (again, that's what terrorists do) but they had not mortally wounded me or my country.  I celebrated the day when the head of this serpent’s was cut off.

In those days we stood tall during those sad difficult times; we stood united against Evil in those times; we showed sorrow over our fallen and compassion to those who survive; we showed resolute and determined will against our enemies; and we still press the battle to those who would destroy us from abroad.  Will we stand just as tall against todays Domestic terrorists?  

We need to make it emphatically clear that as a people we will not indeterminably tolerate or long endure those who seek to destroy our way of life. By-in-large we Americans have a high tolerance level with those who do not share our values, culture, virtues . . . our way of life. A way of life that has been built over hundreds of years a great pains, sacrifice and cost to a lot of people and that includes every and any grouping of people you wish to choose. However, that longsuffering should not be mistaken as eternal.

Clearly I am NOT talking about people and/or groups of people who peacefully assemble or even march in the streets to call attention to their cause. On of the rights we enjoy as an American is the right to speak our mind and redress our government for our causes. However, the First Amendment and the right to petition the government for redress of perceived wrongs does not permit, allow for or endorse rioting, looting beating and killing as a part of those Constitutionally guaranteed rights. Do not let the voices of tyranny convince you otherwise. 

There is not a “fine” line between protesting and rioting. No indeed, there is a broad and brilliant red line between the two. Unfortunately, Marxist insurrectionist are high-jacking the peaceful protests and turning these peaceful protesters into a mob and then inciting them to riots. 

Do not be mislead and do not be deceived those in the streets of America who are killing & maiming people; burning and looting buildings are as much terrorists as were the 9/11 terrorists.

When I see the stores burning, the people being dragged from the cars and trucks and beaten senseless and stores looted I see the faces of  Mohamed Atta Hijacker (Pilot) . . . . Abdul Aziz al Omari Hijacker  . . . . Waleed al Shehri Hijacker  . . . . Satam al Suqami Hijacker  . . . . Wail al Shehri Hijacker  . . . . Hani Hanjour Hijacker (Pilot) . . . . . Khalid al Mihdhar Hijacker . . . . Majed Moqed Hijacker . . . . Nawaf al Hazmi Hijacker . . . . Salem al Hazmi Hijacker  . . . . Ziad Samir Jarrah Hijacker (Pilot) . . . . Saeed al Ghamdi Hijacker  . . . . Ahmed al Nami Hijacker . . . . Ahmad al Haznawi Hijacker   . . . . Marwan al Shehhi Hijacker (Pilot) . . . . Mohand al Shehri Hijacker  . . . . Hamza al Ghamdi Hijacker . . . . Fayez Banihammad Hijacker . . . . Ahmed al Ghamdi Hijacker  . . . . Khalid Sheikh Mohammed Mastermind  . . . . Tawfiq bin Attash (Khallad) Potential Pilot . . . . Ramzi Binalshibh Potential Pilot . . . . Zakariya Essabar Potential Pilot/Hijacker . . . . Saeed “Jihad” al Ghamdi Potential Hijacker . . . .Mushabib al Hamlan Potential Hijacker and. . . .Ali Abdul Aziz Ali.

These are the calculating savage animals who carried out the attacks on 9/11 an d to them can be added the minions and leaders of Antifa and those who lead international BLM Organization.
