Have You Forgotten?

Of course, many of you recognize the title of tonight's blog as Darryl Warley's hit song about the events of September 11. The chorus of Warley's song says,

"Have you forgotten how it felt that day

to see our homeland under fire

and her people blown away?"

There is obviously more than that and you can see the entire lyrics at http://http://www.anysonglyrics.com/lyrics/d/darrylworley/haveyouforgotten.htm. I am not trying to boost sales of Warley's music, but I am trying to suggest that many people have forgotten, but not the man and woman on the street.. We did have people inside those towers going through a living hell. The little spectacle involving Air Force One and what was billed as a photo op proves that some people still are edgy when it comes to low flying aircraft over NYC. I hardly blame them. But I do believe, unfortunately, that many of the liberal Dems have forgotten. The are more concerned with the blame game than defeating terrorism. Our President wants to sit down with terrorists and have a nice chat over tea. The House Speaker, Nancy (I Forgot) Pelosi does not want to violate a terrorist's civil rights. We can't use extreme measures to get the truth out of them. Well, what about the extreme measures of September 11 Ms. Speaker? You have forgotten what it felt like that day.

And Mr. Obama, you have forgotten! You want to reduce the deficit by reducing benefits to our veterans. You want to "cut and run" and just pull out of Iraq before the mission is accomplished. We are so very close to helping the Iraqi's strengthen their democracy, but you want us to pull out because George Bush was wrong and lied, as you say, to the people about this war. I have an opportunity on a daily basis to visit with military personnel. I have yet to find one that agrees with you Mr. Obama. "To pull out now says our soldiers who died, died for nothing," is what many tell me. War is hell, but sometimes you gotta take it to the enemy or they'll bring it to us. They proved that on September 11. And if we reduce our military, equip them inadequately, and make the same mistakes we made in Viet Nam I will assure you that we'll be fighting them again right here on our soil. I had a young soldier last Saturday tell me he was deploying to Iraq that day. I asked how he felt about it and he said, "This is my third tour and I can't wait to get back there." "Why," I asked. "Because, you wouldn't believe the difference we are making. We can't leave now, when we're this close," he replied.

But the Democratic leadership in Washington would rather give ten banks another $75 billion dollars that to protect freedom around the globe. They would rather debate the "cap and trade" issue that the weapons our troops need. They would rather talk about........well, just about anything that defeating terrorism. They would rather sip tea with the devil in Iran than feed him a cruise missile. If Bill Clinton had paid attention I don't think September 11 would have happened and Obama is even worse. Somebody needs to tell that man that the campaign is over and he won so get to work actually being the President.

America cannot afford this kind of behavior, because this is the real world and they are tearing Detroit down. This is the real world and they are leaving America vulnerable while all the time ushering in socialism. Listen friends, we have an opportunity to elect conservative Republicans in less than two years to both the House and the Senate. We can't wait until six weeks before the primaries, we have to start now. Talk to your friends and even those who are Dems. Write letters to the editor. Contribute to the GOP. Do something because as another old song says, "You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything."

God Bless You and God Bless America!
