It seems that it has become politically incorrect to call what happened on 9/11/2001 as what it really was. Recently the President said in front of a national audience that it was a “Man made disaster”. How quickly the President has forgotten the complete and total destruction of that day. Hijackers of Islamic and Muslim extremists flew two jetliners into Tower 1 and Tower 2 (respectively) of the World Trade Center. They also flew a jetliner into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Last, but by no means least, a fourth jetliner was flown into the ground in a field in Pennsylvania. No one in those planes survived those terrible acts of terrorism, Although I did not know anyone who’s life was senselessly taken that day. I can say with conviction that thousands of my fellow countrymen and women lost their lives due to a horrific act. In my mind, the President using the term “Man made disaster” to describe this act, only demeans and steps all over the memories of those who died. Not to mention the families who have had to live with the tragedy of losing so many loved ones. I respect the position of President that Mr. Obama holds, however I have lost complete and total respect for the man. FOR YOU LIBERALS OUT THERE.....I DON’T GIVE A RAT’S, HAIRY, FUCKING, DRAGGING THE HOMELESS SHIT STAINED CONCRETE, BALLS THAT HE IS BLACK. I DON’T FUCKING CARE WHAT COLOR HE IS. SO DON’T PULL OUT YOUR CATCH ALL EXCUSE OF ME BEING RACIST. QUIT USING THE RACE CARD YOU FUCKING DOUCHE BAGS!
President Obama let me explain something that you may not have thought about. The oil spill in Valdez Alaska was a “man made disaster”. The fires in California that were started by arson, those are “mad made disaster”. If a tanker truck full of hazardous materials driving down the road flips over, wrecks, and spills its contents all over the ground, that’s a “mad made disaster”. What happened on September 11, 2001 was a TERRORIST ATTACK!!! To use any other words or phrases to describe that day is wrong any way you look at it.
I demand that President Obama publicly apologizes for this oversight. I also demand he apologizes in public to the families of those who lost loved ones that day. For his comments are inexcusable.
President Ronald Reagan said the following when talking about the terrorists in Libya, (paraphrase) “We will not tolerate terrorists attacks by outlaw states.............they counted on America to be passive, they counted wrong.”
I insert here a copy of The Gettysburg Address, as administered by President Abraham Lincoln.
___________________________________________________________________
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that, that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled, here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Now for those of you that didn't hear it.....when Obama was running for President, he said, "President Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest Presidents this nation has ever had." Well President Obama, I ask you this. Why are you trying to destroy everything he helped build? Yes, Lincoln gave us the Emancipation Proclamation which in turn freed the slaves. However now you seem intent on making every American a slave to their own government. How ironic, or should I say idiotic. Seems to be par for the course for your ultra socialist agenda.
President Obama also said something else that troubles me deeply. The President recently called our fighting men and women in Afghanistan an “Overseas contingency force”. Mr. President might I remind you to pre-read your speeches that are written for you before you read them for the rest of America. Our forces in Korea that are protecting the cease fire agreement over there, that’s a “contingency force”. Our troops stationed in Germany, that is a “contingency force”. When the United States sends troops to South America to burn marijuana and cocoa fields, they are fighting the War on Drugs. Our fighting men and women of the Armed Forces in Afghanistan are fighting the War on Terror. To call them anything else is extremely disrespectful and demoralizing to the men and women over there, putting their lives on the line everyday to help protect America. As Commander in Chief of our fighting forces, I thought you would know that. I guess I thought wrong.
I will now post two different letters written by President Abraham Lincoln for comparative purposes because of how Obama had said during his campain that he aspired to be as great a leader as President Lincoln was.
President Abraham Lincoln wrote this letter of condolence to the parents of Colonel Elmer Ellsworth the day after his assassination in Alexandria, Virginia. As Union troops occupied the town, Ellsworth was shot after he took down a huge Confederate flag atop the Marshall House, a small hotel on King Street. For weeks the flag had been visible in Washington, including from Lincoln's second-floor White House office.
Ellsworth knew the Lincoln family only a short time before his death. He joined Lincoln's office in Springfield, Illinois, to study law, campaigned for him in 1860 and helped manage his inaugural journey. He also became a close friend of the president's White House secretaries. One of them remarked that Lincoln grieved Ellsworth like a son, and this letter gives a hint of this emotional attachment.
David Homer Bates, of the War Department Telegraph Office, said he gave Lincoln the telegram announcing Ellsworth's death. Bates saw Lincoln frequently because the War Department offered the closest telegraph to his office -- and consequently, the latest war news. In his classic book, Lincoln in the Telegraph Office, Bates wrote, "The entire letter shows the great man's sympathy with human sorrow and his close reliance upon God, which traits appear like golden threads running all through his published utterances and were exhibited in his every-day walk and conversation."
To the Father and Mother of Col. Elmer E. Ellsworth:
My dear Sir and Madam, In the untimely loss of your noble son, our affliction here, is scarcely less than your own. So much of promised usefulness to one's country, and of bright hopes for one's self and friends, have rarely been so suddenly dashed, as in his fall. In size, in years, and in youthful appearance, a boy only, his power to command men, was surpassingly great. This power, combined with a fine intellect, an indomitable energy, and a taste altogether military, constituted in him, as seemed to me, the best natural talent, in that department, I ever knew. And yet he was singularly modest and deferential in social intercourse. My acquaintance with him began less than two years ago; yet through the latter half of the intervening period, it was as intimate as the disparity of our ages, and my engrossing engagements, would permit. To me, he appeared to have no indulgences or pastimes; and I never heard him utter a profane, or intemperate word. What was conclusive of his good heart, he never forgot his parents. The honors he labored for so laudably, and, in the sad end, so gallantly gave his life, he meant for them, no less than for himself.
In the hope that it may be no intrusion upon the sacredness of your sorrow, I have ventured to address you this tribute to the memory of my young friend, and your brave and early fallen child.
May God give you that consolation which is beyond all earthly power. Sincerely your friend in a common affliction --
A. Lincoln

The letter offers an excellent glimpse into Lincoln's thinking about his constitutional responsibility and why he changed his inaugural position of non-interference with slavery to one of emancipation. He said, "I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me."
Lincoln closed with a reference to slavery that is reminiscent of his inaugural address of 1865: "If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills also that we of the North as well as you of the South, shall pay fairly for our complicity in that wrong, impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and revere the justice and goodness of God."
Executive Mansion,
Washington, April 4, 1864.
A.G. Hodges, Esq
Frankfort, Ky.
My dear Sir: You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally said the other day, in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon. It was about as follows:
"I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel. And yet I have never understood that the Presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially upon this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it my view that I might take an oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understood, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times, and in many ways. And I aver that, to this day, I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand however, that my oath to preserve the constitution to the best of my ability, imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensabale means, that government -- that nation -- of which that constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation, and yet preserve the constitution? By general law life and limb must be protected; yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures, otherwise unconstitutional, might become lawful, by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the constitution, through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that, to the best of my ability, I had even tried to preserve the constitution, if, to save slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of government, country, and Constitution all together. When, early in the war, Gen. Fremont attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When a little later, Gen. Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected, because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, Gen. Hunter attempted military emancipation, I again forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When, in March, and May, and July 1862 I made earnest, and successive appeals to the border states to favor compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation, and arming the blacks would come, unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition; and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it, the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the colored element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this, I was not entirely confident. More than a year of trial now shows no loss by it in our foreign relations, none in our home popular sentiment, none in our white military force, -- no loss by it any how or any where. On the contrary, it shows a gain of quite a hundred and thirty thousand soldiers, seamen, and laborers. These are palpable facts, about which, as facts, there can be no cavilling. We have the men; and we could not have had them without the measure.
["]And now let any Union man who complains of the measure, test himself by writing down in one line that he is for subduing the rebellion by force of arms; and in the next, that he is for taking these hundred and thirty thousand men from the Union side, and placing them where they would be but for the measure he condemns. If he can not face his case so stated, it is only because he can not face the truth.["]
I add a word which was not in the verbal conversation. In telling this tale I attempt no compliment to my own sagacity. I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me. Now, at the end of three years struggle the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man devised, or expected. God alone can claim it. Whither it is tending seems plain. If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills also that we of the North as well as you of the South, shall pay fairly for our complicity in that wrong, impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and revere the justice and goodness of God. Yours truly,
A. Lincoln
President Obama, I believe it is all too plain to see, that you are nothing like the man you aspire to be. I believe that it is plain to anyone who looks past the nose on their face, or what the main stream media would tell them about you. You sir may be President of The Untied States, however you are more intent on pushing your own socialist agenda down America's throat and advancing your own Vanity than you are truly concerned about this country and the direction it is headed. I can only hope that you see the light before it becomes too late, or God help us, for the end of this great nation is at hand, and the American way of life will perish from the face of the earth.
..............and that's The Brutal Truth as I see it.
