Bin Laden is dead. I believe that to be true. I know our government has often lied to us throughout our history, and I believe Obama would do anything to create an "event" that portrays him favorably (he is in full-time campaign mode for 2012). But I believe BL is gone from this world thanks to our Special Ops military team. And I will give Obama credit for making the decision to go get him in Pakistan, even though there is information coming out now that Obama was reluctant and had to be dragged kicking and screaming to sign off on the "get Bin Laden" operation. But Obama in the end made the right decision.
But let's not lose sight of some important facts. During the 2008 campaign Obama promised to "bring the troops home from Iraq and Afghanistan." He swore he was going to "close GITMO" in his first days in office. His focus was not on getting BL, but rather closing down the War on Terror. This is a president who won't even call it a War on Terror. This is a president who wants to be friends with the terrorists. This is a president who ordered our military to wash and wrap and bury BL at sea after 45 minutes of prayers in Arabic, supposedly according to Islamic burial tradition, while thousands of people who died in the World Trade Center are in a garbage dump on Staten Island. Now I ask you, does anyone think BL was a true Muslim, practicing Islam? If BL was an example of what Muslims believe, God help us. But Political Correctness reigns in the White House.
Obama wants to take all the credit for "getting" BL. He doesn't mention the fact that in 2007 under Bush a connection was made to a BL courier that took 4 years to cultivate and ultimately led to the resulting raid and death of BL. This event isn't something that just happened in the course of a few months. Bush-era decisions led to Bin Laden's elimination. If Obama had gotten his way he would have done away with all of Bush's National Security practices. What a hypocrite.
And now Obama is going to Ground Zero. Did you know he hasn't been there since the last photo op during the 2008 campaign? New Yorkers who died there have not been important to him until now. He has barely acknowledged what NYC went through, and now he's meeting with the families. All the times he's been in NY to raise money for his presidential campaign, he has never stepped foot at Ground Zero since becoming president. So why is he going to NY now? Call me just a little suspicious. It's because he would never waste an opportunity to further his reelection chances, and this is a nothing more than an opportunistic photo op.
The real heroes here are our military. I give great credit to them, especially the Navy Seals, for executing a mostly flawless take down of BL. I find satisfaction in the fact that the last face Bin Laden saw was the face of a Navy Seal, the face of America. I pray that the ceremony today brings further closure to those who lost loved ones on 9/11 and to all Americans who have continued to mourn the murderous event. May we all move on in unity so we can resolve the very important economic issues we face.

9-11. IT WAS MURDER PLAIN AND SIMPLE!
Tomorrow marks nine years since over 3,000 Americans were "murdered" at Ground Zero. They were innocent people who were murdered in cold blood by lunatics hiding behind the label Islamic Jihadist and justifying their reprehensible actions because they believe anyone not of their "faith" is considered an infidel and should be destroyed. And their "faith," by the way, is Islam.
We all know and will never forget where we were nine years ago. We also remember the horror we felt as we saw the Twin Towers come down, people jumping from windows to their absolute death, the fire fighters, policemen, Americans helping Americans to safety, the gray clouds of toxic dust come rolling down the streets of New York engulfing everything and everyone in its path, the plane crash in the field, Todd Beamer's command to "Let's Roll. The images are seared forever into our minds.
Americans wept, Americans hurt, Americans were brought to their knees. And then Americans came together, got angry, picked themselves up, and went on the offensive. Americans named the enemy, and that enemy was and forever remains Islam, a religion that calls for the destruction of non-believers. Educate yourself on the Koran. It is eye-opening.
Today we are still fighting these murderers. It is ugly, it is hard, and it is taking a long time. We are winning this war, but war is not a board game with rules. It would enable our troops to end this war if the leftist apologists and Obama would allow our troops to do what they are trained to do so well and stop hampering their success with ridiculous rules of engagement that have prevented them from winning this war by any and all means possible.
We have allowed the political agenda of the liberals to circumvent the entire process of a military force, changing their mission from "defense" of our nation into "nation building" and painting targets on their collective backs by not allowing them to conduct the war to win it. Sacrificing American military lives for politics is reprehensible.
Today we are still under attack not only by unknown Jihadists, but also by powerful elected officials who say we have to accept Islam as a fact of life, and we should allow them to build their victory memorial on the ground where they murdered our neighbors. We are told that if we don't allow them to do this they will stay mad at us. We are told that there will be "grave" consequences if this isn't resolved satisfactorily, meaning if they can't build it, we are dead. Sure sounds like a peaceful religion, doesn't it?
Denying people an appropriate place to worship goes against the Constitution we all love, but somewhere between the law and lunacy comes common sense. And common sense dictates if you continue to allow people to threaten you, murder you, and then use your own laws to reach their ultimate goal of destroying you, your laws, your country, your future, and your beliefs, then it becomes a case of sheer stupidity.
When we go along to get along, and of course, be politically correct, and we back off because a "religion" says if we move their victory mosque one brick down the street from where they want it they will be "forced" to kill us, then we become complicit in the further destruction of America.
Remember, this victory mosque wants to be built by a religion that blows up women, children and innocents, flies planes into buildings, bombs train stations and night clubs, sets off car bombs, stones women who committed the act of wearing comfortable shoes, believes in female genital mutilation, beheads people of their own religion and others for whatever justification they can find, believes in "Honor Killings," the right to kill a wife/girlfriend/daughter if they don't do exactly as the man dictates.
This is a religion that burns Bibles and the American Flag with impunity but then kills innocent people because cartoons/pictures/articles about Islam that they don't like are printed in various publications. This is a religion that threatens us if even one American tries to burn the Koran or because 70% of Americans say "NO" to their victory mosque being built where they murdered us. Is this really "tolerance," "sanity" and "reason?"
Mr. Obama and others say they have an absolute Constitutional right to build the victory mosque anywhere they want, but the same Mr. Obama says it is wrong to burn the Koran. So which is it, Mr. Obama? If you believe the Constitution gives them the right to build it at Ground Zero, then the same Constitution gives someone the right to burn the Koran. I believe it's called the First Amendment. I personally think that neither should happen, but if one is Constitutionally protected, then so is the other.
The only thing that can stop the certain progression of an Islamic takeover of America (look at what is happening in Europe right now) is We The People standing up, standing tall, standing united and saying as loud as we can, "No, We will never surrender to tyranny or to terror, and will will not let you have our country."
To save America each and every one of us who cares about our safety, our freedom and our security has to speak out loudly, clearly and consistently. We have to de-elect anyone who does not take seriously this fight for our Constitutional rights of liberty, security and the future of this Great Nation.
Another 9-11 is simply not acceptable.

Mosque promoter on taxpayer paid junket
Feisal Rauf, the main proponent of building a mosque at Ground Zero, is currently on a three-nation outreach trip to the Middle East. The State Department has sent him abroad at a cost to us of roughly $16,000. He starts his tour in Bahrain and ends it in the United Arab Emirates. He is expected to discuss Muslim life in America and promote religious tolerance.
But I would ask why the State Department (and the Bush administration who sent this man abroad in 2007) would use him to represent America's interests when he has declared that the US was an "accessory" in the events of 9-11, and has stated that the US "has more blood on its hands than Al-queda, and has stated that Bin Laden was "created in the USA," among other outlandish statements.
The State Department says he was instructed not to raise funds for the New York mosque while representing America, but what's to prevent him from having back room conversations with anyone he wants? Back room conversations happen in Washington all the time. Back room deals are made in Washington regularly. Unless his conversations are being monitored by the State Department who knows what he is doing?
I do not trust anyone who has such a tainted view of America as to suggest we were in any way complicit in 9-11 and that we have more blood on our hands than Al-Queda and Bin Laden was made in America.

We need a complete change in Washington.
Vote the fools out! Voting is a privilege, it's a right, and it's your duty!
