What’s so great about a 1984 type of surveillance dictatorship? Islam might be more attractive.

Glad you are safe LGM but you need to know they want to strike again. Are you willing to sacrifice your kids and city because of this?

lgm doesn’t care. I knew that.

For some folks, Freedom has always been Free.

Others have paid dearly for it. It is notional or academic for those that never went to Defend Freedom.

“They [Democrats] know, they know the risks they are taking on behalf of the American people and they don’t care … and that’s what bothers me most,” said Republican Rep. Heather Wilson of New Mexico on Friday.

No. They don’t care. We already knew that!

I was watching on our customer lounge TV where I worked as the second plane hit.

I’m glad you and your kids are safe.

SHoward said (#35):

Just a question, were you there in 2001?

I work about two miles from the World Trade Center site. When I learned the buildings had collapsed (around 11am) I rushed to my kid’s school, which was a few blocks from the site. I didn’t find him, but they told me the kids were safe. Then I went to the site to volunteer, but police were turning people away. They already knew there would be few survivors. Of course I knew people who worked in the World Trade Towers and had no way to know who had escaped.

Just for the record: I fully support execution if they are found guilty. I don’t believe for a second we should worry about what the rest of the world thinks about that. No one is going to stop relations with us over it, and the ones that might need to anyway.

As for whether or not they would be martyrs or heros, if my Jihadists lore is correct, I think the only way they are considered heros is if they died carrying out their attacks. I know that’s the only path to their ‘reward’ of 72 Virgins. (ha ha). Being executed by us might be a dis-honor to them for all we know. (’course I could be wrong. They are nuts…)

Funny thing is, LGM teaches at NYU. Isn’t that in New York City?

Just a question, LGM, were you there in 2001? I would be curious if you might share your feelings about the terrorists you had that afternoon. (Not a trick question, I am genuinely curious, if you wish to tell us. No Troll food)

Again LGM I hope the next terrorist attack doesn’t include your city or neighborhood. I also hope they don’t release the Gitmo guys in your neighborhood either. Would you be willing how house them while they await for their departure? I know you probably are not a praying person so what is your hope that you can keep your city from an terrorist attack? I’d love to know.

Lest anyone believe that today’s House vote on new Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) legislation is about anything other than politics, this morning’s CongressDaily AM makes the point crystal clear: even Democratic aides admit the bill – which is only being offered to give Democratic Members something to talk about in their districts – will never become law…

Yeah this is the outcome we will see, but this little dog and pony show is working for the “Progressive Left” blogs.

Check any of the usual suspects in that group and you will see nothing but praise for the work done, with the exception of all their bad mouthing of the “Bush Dog Dems” (their term not mine) they seem to have issue with.

funny LGM, take domestic battery and make light of it. Was that your plan? You see, I don’t beat my wife and you would have no proof to make such a claim. I, on the other hand, have your posts as proof that you hate America.
