After all these years, my heart still aches for those lost in the 9-11 tragedy. I still find it very hard to write about it or even post about it. 3,000 souls cry out for justice that has never materialized. That’s not counting all those who have since perished from cancer, in Iraq and in Afghanistan. Instead we are setting the murderers free, building mosques and monuments in the image of Islam where our heroes perished and letting Jihadists kill us at will and force our submission to Shariah law. I fear America is at a very dangerous crossroads and the anger and frustration we all feel over Islam and our government’s Marxist pandering to them has reached the boiling point.
Whether the pastor in Florida burns a Quran or not, I think it is almost a certainty others will today. Unfortunately, I can understand why they would and I do know they have a constitutional right to do so. Our bibles have been burned, our flag has been desecrated, our citizens have been slaughtered, our warriors have been beheaded and burned… If the simple act of drawing Mohammed or burning a Quran brings violent retribution, perhaps this is a fight we should have embraced many years ago. I do not believe in book burning and I believe in having respect for another’s religion – but that is a two-way street. I have grown weary of threats from radical Islamists and this is not a fight we should leave to our children and grandchildren. Americans need to decide if they will live in the ruling shadow of Islam or if they will return to their Judeo-Christian roots and their Constitutional foundations. When a religious bully keeps beating you and killing you, you eventually stop turning the other cheek and fight for God and country. That is my rant for today… We have always been willing to live in peace and coexist with Islam, but it has not been reciprocated. This is a battle between good and evil and America MUST confront it. Do not shun it for the sake of political correctness – if we do, we will lose and be conquered and our children will never know freedom again.

Got this from one of my “Powder Puff Patriot” Friends… Had to share. Hope you enjoy it! M~
In this Sept. 17, 2001 file photo, the ruins of the World Trade Center continue to smolder almost a week after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. (AP)
This poem was written by a friend of mine’s son and circulated through the toiletries list I belong to. The second verse was added by a retired military cop and a great patriot.
It brings tears to my eyes to think that there’s a chance these people died in vain. That one day the freedom they so bravely fought for will be taken from us by a group of people who care about nothing more than stamping out the only free country on this planet. I hope you enjoy it.
Two Thousand One, Nine Eleven
by Paul Spreadsbury
Two thousand one, nine eleven.
Five thousad plus arrive in heaven.
As they pass through the gate,
thousands more appear to wait.
We were anxious that day~ on September Eleven,
because all of us knew that the flight was late.
A detour it made before arriving to Heaven
for some who could never approach that gate.
It stopped off in Hell.. to drop off fanatics who lived and practice and died with hate!
A bearded man with stovepipe hat
steps foward saying
“Lets sit, lets chat”.
They settle down in seats of clouds.
A man named Martin shouts out proud,
“I have a dream!” and once he did.
The newcomer said, “Your dream still lives.”
Groups of soldiers in blue and gray;
Others in khaki and green then say,
“We’re from Bull Run, Yourktown, the Maine”.
The newcomer said,”You died not in vain”
From a man on sticks one could hear,
“The only thing we have to fear…”
The newcomer said, “We know the rest.
Trust us sir, we’ve passed that test”.
“Courage doesn’t hide in caves,
you can’t bury freedom in a grave,”
The newcomers had heard this voice before,
A yankee’s twang from Hyannisport shores.
A silence fell within the mist.
Somehow the Newcomer knew that this Meant, time had come for her to say
what was in the hearts of the five thousand plus that day.
“Back on Earth, we wrote reports,
watched our children play in sports, worked our gardens, sang our songs, went to church and cliped coupons.”
“We smiled, we laughed, we cried, we fought.Unlike you, great we’re not.”
The tall man in the stovepipe hat
stood and said, “Don’t talk like that!
Look at your country. Look and see!…
You died for freedom, just like me!”
Then, before them all appeared a scene
of rubbled streets and twisted beams.
Death, destruction, smoke and dust,
and people working just ’cause they must.
Hauling ash, lifting stones, knee deep
in hell, but not alone.
“Look, black man, white man, brown man, yellow man!”
So said Martin, as he watched the scene.
“Even from nightmares, can be born a dream.”
Down below three firemen raised
the colors high into ashen haze.
The soldiers above had seen it before.
On Iwo Jima, back in ’44.
The man on sticks studied everything closely,
Then shared his perceptions on what he saw mostly;
“I see pain, I see tears, I see sorrow~ but I don’t see fear.”
“You left behind husbands and wives
daughters and sons, and so many lives
are sufferieng now because of this wrong.
But look very closely. You’re not really gone.”
“All of those people, even those who’ve never met you,
All of their lives, they’ll never forget you!
Don’t you see what has happened?
Don’t you see what you’ve done?
You’ve brought them togeter, together as one!”
With that the man in the stovepipe hat said,
“Take my hand.”
And from there he led
five thousand plus heroes, newcomers to heaven,
On this day, two thousand one nine eleven.
In loving memory of our fallen countrymen…………………
Every time I read this, my heart swells with love for the men and women who have fought, and for those who fight every day, for our freedom and for those, who were not in uniform that day, who died to protect us and our homeland. I pray we never forget them!

As you correctly stated, “This is a battle between good and evil and America MUST confront it.”
Thanks TMH… you’ve expressed the same things I’m thinking too.
