I close with the prayer of President George Washington:
"Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer
that Thou will keep the United States in Thy holy protection;
that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens ...
to entertain a brotherly affectionand love for one another
and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large."

"September 11, 2001"
It is a time of great sorrow and sadness
Many tears, many fears
Crying children, asking why....
Why this terror in the sky?
What they wouldn't give for a chance to say goodbye!
Firemen, policemen, rescue workers and more
All came to do a hero's chore
Searching for survivors while trying to survive
Praying to the heavens to find just one person alive
A perfect September day when
something suddenly went awry
Many horrible changes right before our eyes
If only we knew, what would we do?
Being prepared doesn't always suit best
This horrific act was not a test
In plain sight they came to kill
Innocent people, working still
Fire, smoke, dust and debris
Human lives falling free
God is merciful and good
He meets us where we are
Each victim who perished,
Now a shining star
We need comfort and healing
So we may carry on
Our loves ones will never be forgotten
They're in our hearts, not gone
We will never forget and may never be the same
The pain we endure will help us
Cherish the memory of their name
Our hearts are broken and our spirit will mend
Let it be a powerful message that we send
So justice may prevail in the end
Always keep your faith and try not to hate
We can renew, it's not too late
Americas flag will forever fly unfurled
May Heaven be our perished souls "Windows on the World"

America
Love It or Leave It
I have to say I am a bit tired of tip toeing around a few peoples feelings.
God is God no matter what translation you use, so lets quit trying to be
politically correct and just stick to the facts...
If you don't like our flag, our National Anthem, our Pledge Of Allegience,
our capitalism, if you object to God in our schools, or any
display of Christianity then get a one-way ticket where others think as
you do.
Broken Arrow, Oklahoma School officials remove "God
Bless America" signs from schools in fear that someone
might be offended.
Channel 12 News in Long Island, New York, orders flags
removed from the newsroom and red, white, and blue ribbons
removed from the lapels of reporters. Why? Management did
not want to appear biased and felt that our nations flag
might give the appearance that "they lean one way or another".
Berkeley, California bans U.S. Flags from being displayed on
city fire trucks because they didn't want to offend anyone
in the community.
In an "act of tolerance" the head of the public library at
Florida Gulf Coast University ordered all "Proud to be an
American" signs removed so as to not offend international
students.
I, for one, am quite disturbed by these actions of so-called
American citizens; and I am tired of this nation worrying
about whether or not we are offending some individual or
their culture. Since the terrorist attacks on September 11,
we have experienced a surge in patriotism by the majority of
Americans. However, the dust from the attacks had barely
settled in New York and Washington D.C. when the "politically
correct" crowd began complaining about the possibility that
our patriotism was offending others.
I am not against immigration, nor do I hold a grudge against
anyone who is seeking a better life by coming to America. In
fact, our country's population is almost entirely comprised of
descendants of immigrants; however, there are a few things that
those who have recently come to our country, and apparently
some native Americans, need to understand.
First of all, it is not our responsibility to continually try
not to offend you in any way. This idea of America being a
multi-cultural community has served only to dilute our
sovereignty and our national identity. As Americans, we have
our own culture, our own society, our own language, and our
own lifestyle. This culture, called the "American Way" has been
developed over centuries of struggles, trials, and victories by
millions of men and women who have sought freedom. Our
forefathers fought, bled, and died at places such as Bunker
Hill, Antietam, San Juan, Iwo Jima, Normandy, Korea, Vietnam,
We speak English, not Spanish, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese,
Russian, or any other language. Therefore, if you wish to
become part of our society - learn our language!
"In God We Trust" is our national motto. This is not some
off-the-wall, Christian, Right Wing, political slogan - it
is our national motto. It is engraved in stone in the House
of Representatives in our Capitol and it is printed on our
currency. We adopted this motto because Christian men and
women, on Christian principles, founded this nation; and
this is clearly documented throughout our history. If it is
appropriate for our motto to be inscribed in the halls of our
highest level of Government, then it is certainly appropriate
to display it on the walls of our schools.
God is in our pledge, our National Anthem, nearly every
patriotic song, and in our founding documents. We honor His
birth, death, and resurrection as holidays, and we turn to
Him in prayer in times of crisis. If God offends you, then
I suggest you consider another part of the world as your new
home, because God is part of our culture and we are proud
to have Him.
We are proud of our heritage and those who have so honorably
defended our freedoms. We celebrate Independence Day,
Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Flag Day. We have parades,
picnics, and barbecues where we proudly wave our flag. As
an American, I have the right to wave my flag, sing my national
anthem, quote my national motto, and cite my pledge whenever
and wherever I choose. If the Stars and Stripes offend you, or
you don't like Uncle Sam, then you should seriously consider a
move to another part of this planet.
The American culture is our way of life, our heritage, and we
are proud of it. We are happy with our culture and have no
desire to change, and we really don't care how you did things
where you came from. We are Americans, like it or not, this
is our country, our land, and our lifestyle.
Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right to express
his opinion about our government, culture, or society, and we
will allow you every opportunity to do so. But once you are
done complaining, whining, and griping about our flag, our
pledge, our national motto, or our way of life, I highly
encourage you take advantage of one other great American
freedom, the right to leave.
aAMERICA : THE GOOD NIEGHBOR.
WIDESPREAD BUT ONLY PARTIAL NEWS WAS GIVEN TO A REMARKABLE EDITORIAL BROADCAST FROM TORONTO BY GORDON SINCLAIR,
A CANADIAN TELEVISION COMMENTATOR.
WHAT FOLLOWS IS A FULL TEXT OF HIS TRENCHANT REMARKS:
"THIS CANADIAN THINKS IT IS TIME TO SPEAK UP FOR THE AMERICANS AS THE MOST GENEROUS AND POSSIBLY THE LEAST APPRECIATED PEOPLE ON ALL OF THE EARTH.
GERMANY , JAPAN, AND TO A LESSER EXTENT BRITIAN AND ITALY WERE LIFTED OUT OF DEBRIS OF WAR BY THE AMERICANS WHO POURED IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND FORGAVE OTHER BILLIONS IN DEBTS.
NONE OF THESE COUNTRIES IS TODAY PAYING EVEN THE INTREST ON ITS REMANING DEBTS TO THE UNITED STATES.
WHEN FRANCE WAS IN DANGER OF COLLAPSING IN 1956 , IT WAS THE AMERICANS WHO PROPPED IT UP , AND THEIR REWARD WAS TO BE INSULTED AND SWINDLED ON THE STREETS OF PARIS . I WAS THERE . I SAW IT.
WHEN EARTHQUAKES HIT DISTANT CITIES , IT IS THE UNITED STATES THAT HURRIES IN TO HELP. THIS SPRING 59 AMERICAN COMMUNITIES WERE FLETTENED BY TORNADOS. NOBODY HELPED.
THE MARSHALL PLAN AND THE TRUMAN POLICY PUMPED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO DISCOURAGED COUNTRIES. NOW NEWSPAPERS IN THOSE COUNTRIES ARE WRITING ABOUT THE DECADENT, WARMONGERING AMERICANS.
I'D LIKE TO SEE JUST ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES THAT IS GLOATING OVER THE EROSION OF THE UNITED STATES DOLLAR BUILD ITS OWN AIRPLANE.
DOES ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAVE A PLANE TO EQUAL THE BOEING JUMBO JET, THE LOCKHEED TRI-STAR , OR THE DOUGLAS DC10?
IF SO WHY DON'T THEY FLY THEM?
WHY DO ALL THE INTERNATIONAL LINES EXCEPT RUSSIA FLY AMERICAN PLANES?
WHY DOES NO OTHER LAND ON EARTH EVEN CONSIDER PUTTING A MAN OR WOMAN ON THE MOON?
YOU TALK ABOUT JAPANESE TECHNOCRACY ,AND YOU GET RADIOS.
YOU TALK ABOUT GERMAN TECHNOCRACY, AND YOU GET AUTOMOBILES.
YOU TALK ABOUT AMERICAN TECHNOCRACY AND YOU FIND MEN ON THE MOON - NOT ONCE , BUT SEVERAL TIMES- AND SAFELY HOME AGAIN.
YOU TALK ABOUT SCANDLES , AND THE AMERICANS PUT THEIRS RIGHT IN THE STORE WINDOW FOR EVERYBODY TO LOOK AT.
EVEN THEIR DRAFT- DODGERS ARE NOT PURSUED AND HOUNDED. THEY ARE HERE ON OUR STREETS , AND MOST OF THEM , UNLESS THEY ARE BREAKING CANADIAN LAWS , ARE GETTING AMERICA DOLLARS FROM MA AND PA AT HOME TO SPEND HERE..
WHEN THE RAILWAYS OF FRANCE, GERMANY AND INDIA WERE BREAKING DOWN THROUGH AGE , IT WAS THE AMERICANS WHO REBUILT THEM.
WHEN THE PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD AND THE NEW YORK CENTRAL WENT BROKE , NOBODY LOANED THEM AN ALD CABOOSE .
BOTH ARE STILL BROKE.
I CAN NAME YOU 5000 TIMES WHEN THE AMERICANS RACED TO THE HELP OF OTHER PEOPLE IN TROUBLE. CAN YOU NAME ME EVEN ONE TIME WHEN SOMEONE ELSE RACED TO THE AMERICANS IN TROUBLE?
I DON'T THINK THERE WAS OUTSIDE HELP EVEN DURING THE SAN FRANCISCO EARTHQUAKE.
OUR NEIGHBORS HAVE FACED IT ALONE AND I'M ONE CANADIAN WHO IS DAMNED TIRED OF HEARING THEM GET KICKED AROUND.
THEY WILL COME OUT OF THIS THING WITH THEIR FLAG HIGH.
AND WHEN THEY DO , THEY ARE ENTITLED TO THUMB THEIR NOSE AT THE LANDS THAT ARE GLOATING OVER THEIR PRESENT TROUBLES. I HOPE CANADA IS NOT ONE OF THOSE."
STAND PROUD , AMERICA!
I WOULD HOPE THAT EACH OF YOU WOULD SEND THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND EMPHASIZE THAT THEY SHOULD SEND IT TO AS MANY OF THEIR FRIENDS UNTIL THIS LETTER IS SENT TO EVERY PERSON ON THE WEB.

A POEM FOR BIN LADEN
Osama Bin Laden, your time is short;
We'd rather you die, than come to court.
Why are you hiding if it was in God's name?
You're just a punk with a turban; a pathetic
shame.
I have a question, about your theory and laws;
"How come you never die for the cause?"
Is it because you're a coward who counts on
others?
Well, here in America, we stand by our brothers
As is usual, you failed in your mission;
If you expected pure chaos, you can keep on
wishin'
Americans are now focused and stronger than ever;
Your death has become our next endeavor.
What you tried to kill, doesn't live in our walls;
It's not in buildings or shopping malls.
If all of our structures came crashing down;
It would still be there, safe and sound.
Because pride and courage can't be destroyed;
Even if the towers leave a deep void.
We'll band together and fill the holes
We'll bury our dead and bless their souls.
But then our energy will focus on you;
And you'll feel the wrath of the Red, White and
Blue.
So slither and hide like a snake in the grass;
Because America's coming to kick your ass!!!
