That Other Day Of Infamy
America was outraged when Japan struck the United States in a deliberate attack on December 7th, 1941 at Pearl Harbor, war was declared, a nation rallied together and the world was changed. America emerged victorious.
September 11th, 2001 is another day of infamy that America will never forget. The sheer audacity and murderous conviction of the Islamic Terrorists came face to face with American courage and rugged individualism that produced a form of true grit on that fateful day a mere seven years ago. Thousands would perish in a matter of minutes as each hijacked plane struck their intended and unintended targets. We cannot know the sheer terror and panic of that day even though we may see it replayed in story, picture and film. But certainly we have empathy. And a certitude that we will prevail in the end. Vengeance is mine, sayth the Lord.
Many lives have have been impacted by this far away event and continue to be so even as our fighting men and women serve their nation in their capacity as Coast Guardsmen, Sailors, Marines, Soldiers and Airmen in all places destitute and desolate far away from home.
We remember and pay tribute to our fallen countrymen in New York, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon as well as the men and women in uniform who have paid the ultimate price in defense of this glorious nation. Woe to the enemies of the United States of America.
May God have mercy upon their souls.

Three Men And A Babe
Oh, the agony of the Left! Squealing like stuck pigs over the selection of Governor Sarah Palin just makes me smile from ear to ear. Honestly, the hypocrisy and evil gossip that so pervades the Left is a fire consuming their very souls as they attempt character assasination after character assasination on the Barracuda. This I'm quite positive will boomerang back onto her political enemies a hundredfold and will no doubt fire her up in righteous white anger!
Let me remind my readers that Governor Sarah Palin has more executive experience than all three men combined running for office in this election. Senators McCain, Biden and Obama have nothing in the way of executive experience compared to the Governor of Alaska! That's right, my friends, NOTHING! These Senators are just mere legislators!! Nothing more and nothing less. They have sat on committees and simply asked for consensus regarding their legislative agenda. Really, a bunch of mamby pamby weakkneed slackers to sit in our "august" Senate. Whereas, the Governor of Alaska has struck down the most powerful political figures in her state, crafted a budget that ended in black, commanded the Alaska National Guard which is on constant active duty due to her state's geographic location (Russia being 50 miles away) and like Athena, Goddess of War, she is gorgeous!
There is simply no comparing her to them. And yet we are told that she has no experience? What? Are you morons? All that Obama is a mere leftwing street agitator from Chicago! That's it. Now that's NO GRAVITAS!!!! Then you have Biden, Archie Bunker of the Left, who gets hair plugs to cover up an obvious damaged ego!! Disgusting! At least McCain spent time in hell for over 5 years and paid for it dearly in broken bones and a wrecked body. Now that's doing your duty unlike the other two Democrat Senators who have lived the good life while others where tortured or killed for their sake!
Woe to the enemies of the Barracuda! Woe to the enemies of John McCain!
