Over The Line

I know you’ve heard all the rhetoric and news reporting about the deplorable situation which took place in New York and Washington today. This is not politics, this is not a repressed people trying to get the attention of an uncaring world. This is none of the things which are usually associated with the righting of wrongs. This is simple hate, pure insanity and mass murder not seen on the planet since the days of Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. We all know who did this. It may take a few days to place the blame on the proper group but we all know that this is straight out of the Middle East. And I want to inform the scum who perpetrated this piece of unspeakable horror that I don’t know what you were trying to accomplish, but I know what you did accomplish. You’ve united this nation like no leader ever could. You’ve given us a common cause and that’s about all it takes to bring out the American in us. We may be black, white, Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative or what have you on the outside, but once you get past the superficial part of the people of this country, we all have one thing in common, we are Americans and damn proud of it, and when you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. We’ll be in a state of national mourning for a couple of days but when that period is over, you’re going to see a nation full of angry citizens who will not rest until you and all your kind are eradicated. This is the United States of America, the most powerful, resourceful, capable, proud and advanced nation the world has ever known. Our military is the baddest, our resolve is the hardest and our wrath is hotter than a volcano, and just about to erupt like one. In my opinion, when we find out who’s responsible, we should take whatever means necessary to destroy these rats, and I’m talking about every piece of military equipment down to a swiss army knife, batter their army into total submission and if this was state sponsored, take their leader out. I think our go around with Saddam Hussein has proven that you can’t cut the tail off the snake and leave the head intact. I sincerely hope that millions of good Americans will get in touch with their Congressman and Senators and tell them that you’re madder than hell and you ain’t gonna take it no more and that you expect them to take immediate action against these garbage piles. We should take a page out of the Israelis’ book. Immediate retaliation. You bomb us today and tomorrow we’re coming after you. If you’re an American I know you’ve got to be as upset about this as I am. I’m still in a state of shock to see the Trade Towers fall and the Pentagon, the very symbol of military power in this nation, on fire. It’s almost like watching a science fiction movie, it all seems so unreal. It’s up to us. Do we show these people who they’re messing with or do we keep putting up with worse and worse atrocities. I think you all know where I stand.

Pray for our troops.

What do you think?

God Bless America
