My Thoughts on 9/11

Wednesday, September 16, 2009. Five days after 11 terrorist carried out a successful attack on our country demolishing the World Trade Center buildings at the heart of NYC. I remember how I felt on that day and it was not the feeling of deep sadness, not yet at least. No, that feeling came later with more understanding. My first reaction was more of a feeling of great confusion. I was in the third grade enjoying a beautiful clear September day at the beginning of a new school year. Even as the attacks were carried out my classes were not interrupted and i knew nothing of the tragic event that had taken place earlier that morning. I remember going to my mom, who happened to work in my school office, during recess and seeing tears in her eyes. I asked her what was wrong and she replied " some bad people flew planes into a very important building in the city today". My first reaction was puzzlement at the reason for doing such a thing. I didn't understand that there were truly evil people, terrorists, out there who chanted "death to Americans" and praised the killing of as many innocent civilians as possible.

We all know the rest of the story that occurred just 8 years ago, so why am i telling you about the commemoration of the 9/11 attacks five days after 9/11? Well because that is how long it took for us to return back to the pre-9/11 mentality. Shortly after 9/11 we came together as a nation like I have never seen before. We stopped the bickering and fighting, picked up a shovel, and helped our fellow neighbor. Yes, 9/11 was a time of deep mourning and sadness, but what followed the 9/11 attacks was also a time of great compassion and sympathy toward our fellow man. However that moment of seemingly perfect harmony lasted all but one week. After which we went back to the social bickering as if this heinous act hadn't taken place just 5 days before. Now, 8 years after the World Trade Center attacks what do we have to show for that compassion and togetherness we felt on 9/12? Has it all since faded from our hearts and from our minds? The answer, I believe, to that question is no. It has not faded from the minds and hearts of the true American people who dropped everything and volunteered to work through the night, giving blood and sweat for their fellow man. On that day we had the very generous spirit that Obama feels he must force on us today because he believes we are incapable of having it our selves. If 9/11 was not prof that this nation is one the most compassionate caring nations on the planet I don't know what is!

So why then are we denying the fact that this is still a war on terror? And why then haven't we built the freedom towerS stronger, 30 stories higher, and with a big fat "come and try that again sign" at the top???? It is because of the politicians and the special interest groups with their dam political correctness. That is why after 8 YEARS we still have a freakin hole in the ground and are debating whether or not to call it the "freedom tower"!!! Yeah apparently we can't call it that because it might offend people. I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure I don't want anyone in this country who doesn't love freedom or agree with it!! So they are the ones holding the American people back! The American people would have rebuilt the towers back up with their bare hands if they had to and they would have finished them years ago!

So what must we do from this day forward? We need to unite as a nation now more than ever, just as we did on the subsequent days after 9/11. However, we need to keep that awareness with us wherever we go not just when commemorating the attacks. We will carry on with our lives and time will fill voids in our hearts, but we must never forget the pain and suffering that we felt as a nation on that day. We must never forget the togetherness that we felt on that day because if we do, and we let our guard down, the terrorist will be knocking at our door once again and it will lead to the very downfall of this great nation.

Let us take 10 seconds from our day to pray for the victims, for their families, and for the brave men and women who put their lives in harms way on that somber day.....

Sincerely,

Daniel.Horowitz

9/12 March On Washington

Yesterday upwards of a million people marched on Washington to let their grievances be heard to a government that is out of control and is leading us down a path we do not want to travel. Here are some of the pictures of the enormous crowd that the media played off as "tens of thousands". The police even refused to take a full estimate of all the people in attendance.

These are real Americans that are angry with their government for spending money they don't have, doing a terrible job at trying to rejuvenate our economy, and making an outrageous first attempt at reforming health care. While this enormous grassroots rally was taking place in Washington Obama was off in Minneapolis giving a very unpresidential speech to a crowd of hand picked supporters. Let me ask you a question, have you ever seen a president speak and act in a way that Obama acts on a daily basis? I mean constant "town hall rallies", attacking people who disagree with him, and saying that he is going to call out republicans. What kind of president does those things. It appalls me to see that he is diminishing the great prestigiousness of the executive office and abusing his power. However, i am not surprized. Obama has shown us his radical agenda time and time again we are just refusing to listen and call him out for it.

We have sene the same reaction from Obama and the media to these opponents time and time again, they just simply ignor whats going on! How can you have an outcry like this and simply play it off as "astroturf" or a "rally against Obama". This is not about Obama, and this is not just Republicans it is Democrats and Independants as well, and this has been a long time coming! I think we need to take a page from Glenn Beck and start at the root of this conflict. What is the root of this conflict you may ask? Well Washington of course. Today we start a long and hard political fight to take back Washington from courruption, but we will get there. We will take back Washington and appoint representative who not only say they will uphold the Constitution, but actually do it.

Van Jones has layed more hints at what Obama's agenda really is than any other radical advisor in the White House!

I know I know Mark Levin is right we need expose these people for what they are and then move on! So this will be my last post on Van Jones. Unless he says something really really radical, but you know what are the chances of that???

I've been following what this guy has been saying for a while now and with every word he seem to expose Obama just a little bit more. It's almost as if with every sentence Van Jones completes, he puts another piece of the Obama socialist puzzle in place. We have to listen to this audio clip very carefully and question with boldness as Glenn Beck would say. He starts off by saying
"One of the things that has happened too often to progressives is that we don't understand the relationship between minimum goals and maximum goals." He then gives the example of how after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat they didn't try to pass too radical of an agenda because they knew people would never stand for it. So instead they slowly took it one step at a time, not asking for too much, slowly chipping away until "complete revolution was on the table for this country." Now let me just stop here for a second is Van Jones trying to compare the revolution of giving black people equal rights to Obama's revolution of taking over health care, nationalizing EVERYTHING, and killing the privet sector? Because that's like comparing Obama's wisdom to that of Abraham Lincoln and it seems to me one of those revolutions is just a little bit more diabolical than the other. Take a wild guess at which one...

Jones then says that "we are saying we want to move from suicidal gray-capitalism to some kind of Eco-capitalism" What the hell does that mean "suicidal gray capitalism"!? How about free market capitalism Mr Van Jones, ever hear of that? Ooh that's right probably not, you were too busy becoming a COMMUNIST in jail I forgot!!!

So now we know that the Obama administration, because that's the "WE" he's referring to right, wants to kill the evil free market and replace it with some sort of Eco-capitalist market. So how do they plan to implement this plan without the support of the people who actually work in the free market? Well the same way they did it back in the 1960's of course. "So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society"

You see they are laying the ground work right before our eyes today! If they are arrogant enough to just come out openly and tell us that they want to transform our nation, then they must think we are too ignorant to see whats coming. I along with many other Americans see the path they want to take us down and will not stand for it! We need to, now more than ever, listen and respond to what these people are saying. Don't take the old "I wasn't aware that was in the bill" or "how did that get in there" as answers to your questions. No, if they can't provide you with a clear concise answer demand that in 10 seconds if they don't have a truthful complete answer for you you will turn into their worst political nightmare...an angry constituent on election day!

Van Jones, Obama's "Green Jobs Czar", calls Republicans Assholes

Wow what an intelligent answer! I guess thats why they pay him the big bucks!
Van Jones is confronted with a very simple question, How were the republicans able to push things through in the Bush administration when they didn't even have the majority, but now we, Democrats, aren't able to rush things through as progressively as we would like too. What a stupid question from a stupid liberal! First of all the Republicans were not able to just ram things through when Bush was in office the Democrats filibustered every dam chance they got. There was none of this ooh lets debate is thing or get a bipartisan bill from the Democrats then. All there was was criticism and "lets impeach Bush". Second what does she mean the Democrats are not being able to push through what they want? that's exactly what they've been doing ever since the first major project Obama work on, you know that $787 billion spending bill that we've only spend 11% of yeah that one. We didn't stop them then and they are willing to go it alone on health care as well so I fail to see her point.

But anyway then we have this idiot, Van Jones. I mean we all know the guy is a self avowed Communist! remember what he said? well if you don't let me remind you..."In jail I met all these radical people of color -- I mean really radical, Communists and Anarchists. and it was, like, this is what I need to be a part of. I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail,trying to be a revolutionary...I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28...and then the verdicts came down on April 20. By August I was a COMMUNIST"

Those are Van Jones words himself. That is the way he has described himself and he has never taken it back, not that i would believe him if he did but still. So here he is faced with a simple question, by a liberal Democrat, and he can't even put two sentences together! So instead what does he resort to? He calls the republicans "assholes" wow. Whats really funny is I thinks that's exactly what Obama would rather say to all his questions instead of actually having to think up an intelligent answer, but you know hes the president so he'll just keep those comments to himself. ooh by the way this video was shot just before the Democrats rammed through the stimulus package.

Carpe Diem: "Kennedy" Once Meant Supply-Side Tax Cutter

Today Obama is compared and thrown in with the Carters and the kennedys of administrations past to say that they all think the same way and have the same liberal agendas. Well take a look at this video of Preident John F. Kennedy and you will truly see just how much more radical and liberal Obama really is compared to presidents before him. You may even be wishing to settle for the "Liberalism" of the past. Enjoy!

Government Spending Creates Wealth? The Most Persistent Economic Fallacy of All Time

At a 1978 lecture, Milton Friedman talks about government spending and explains one of the greatest economic fallacies of all time, essentially another version of Bastiat's "broken window fallacy."
