Those That Cannot Remember The Past Are Condemned To Repeat It (When Will We Ever Learn)

On the afternoon of February 26, 1993, Islamic terrorist Ramzi Yousef parked a Ryder truck in the basement of the North Tower of the World Trade Center and detonated an explosive that killed six people and injured over one thousand more. Ramzi Yousef was not Christian or Jewish. He was not a Buddhist, a Mormon or a Baptist. He was a Muslim. Upon his illegal entry into the United States, Yousef took up residence in New Jersey.

On September 11, 2001, nineteen Islamic terrorists boarded four airplanes and carried out the worst terrorist attack to ever occur on American soil.  The nineteen terrorists were not Christians.  They were not Jewish. They were not Buddhists, Mormons or Baptists. They were Muslims.  Tickets for at least one of the hijacked flights were purchased in New Jersey.  Flight 93 took off from Newark International Airport. Of the almost three thousand people that were killed on September 11, 2001, six hundred and ninety four were residents of New Jersey.

In June 2010, two New Jersey residents were arrested at JFK International Airport as they were about to board flights to Egypt. The two had intentions of joining up with Islamic terrorists to wage war with The United States. It has been reported that they were discovered and exposed by an undercover NYPD officer.

The FBI and Law Enforcement were highly criticized in the days following September 11, 2001. More could’ve been done.  More should’ve been done to protect every citizen of this country. Why ten years after these attacks we feel the need to have to apologize to anyone for due diligence is beyond any comprehension. Shame on Eric Holder. Shame on New Jersey Governor Christie.

The FBI, The NYPD and all other Federal, State and local law enforcement is tasked with protecting everyone, regardless of religion or race. Lest we forget that several dozen innocent Muslims were also killed on September 11, 2001?

Without  getting into why this topic should not even be discussed in public, the only thing Eric Holder and Gov. Christie should be saying is that, “Yes we are currently involved in undercover surveillance and intelligence gathering within the Muslim community.  We will continue with these operations until such a time that there is no longer a threat from within that community.  You are either with us or against us.  There is no middle ground here.”

The citizens of the state of New Jersey and the country should be calling for the resignations of both Holder and Christie.  Their comments have proven that their concern is not that of ALL Americans but rather that of a vocal minority.  We can not and should not kowtow to any one group, thereby putting everyone in harms way.

This is not a question of wrongfully arresting anyone or violating one’s civil rights.  It is not a call to discriminate or harm anyone from any specific group.  It is a case of being ever vigilant in the war on terrorism.  We were attacked by Islamic extremists who were Muslim.  Common sense should dictate that that is where the attention should be focused.

The FBI has said that the “secret spying” has damaged Muslims’ trust.  A pretty good argument could be made that September 11 damaged America’s trust.

As George Bush said, “Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.” There is no middle ground.

Could you imagine a group of Italians up in arms at the FBI or NYPD or any other law enforcement agency for having undercover officers infiltrate the Mafia?

Wake up America……………………………..It’s time to demand more from our elected officials.

God Bless the United States of America.

Stupid Quote of the Day

New York City Councilman Charles Barron today called CUNY Trustee Jeffrey Wiesenfeld a racist.

A Racist folks.

What a joke.

Charles Barron, a former Black Panther member who only a few years ago stated, “I want to go up to the closest white person and say, ‘You can’t understand this, it’s a black thing’ and then slap him, just for my mental health” calling someone else a racist.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Americans expect so much but accept so little.

“Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed,-…”

For far too long, our politicians on every level; local, state and federal, have continually failed us.

Taxes continue to rise, utilities continue to rise, the health care bill, talk of taxes on sugar products such as soda and sports drinks, the list is endless.

Governmental control has grown.

Democracy has been hijacked and our voices have been silenced. Our freedom is slowly being stripped away.

Political correctness is out of control.

We accept that illegal immigrants are given the same, if not more, rights and privileges than our own citizens.

We accept the removal of signs and symbols of certain religious groups, while minority religions are given more holidays.

We accept that the rights of terrorists and enemy prisoners are more important than saving American lives.

We accept that our elected officials and those appointed by them are tax cheats, adulterers, liars, communists, etc…….

We accept a New York City mayor who has changed and ignored the law of term limits.

We accept a president and his wife who both loathe the country they serve.

We accept that the vocal minority rule the silent majority.

Don’t we deserve better? Shouldn’t we demand better?

The time has come for our voices to be heard.

EVERY POLITICO ON EVERY LEVEL MUST BE VOTED OUT.

It is time to remind these elected officials that “Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their powers from the consent of the governed,-…” We must send a message that it is still “WE THE PEOPLE.”

Every incumbent must go.

Let us not wait for “…an absolute Tyranny over these states.”
