RANT & CHAT - No Politics

[Bird of Prey]

Not my rant but one worth repeating. Especially after the insult my Stepdaughter was subjected to by a "muslim" woman yesterday.



The simplest way of dealing with people who say the
United States should not act at all, or not act now
against terrorist threats looming in the future, may
be this: All such people should be asked this question:

What would you have done, on Flight 93?


To Secretary General of the United Nations, Kofi
Annan: What would you have done? Would you have sought
the agreement of all nationalities aboard Flight 93,
before you did anything? That would include, of
course, negotiating with the ambassador of the
terrorists. If you could not get such agreement, would
you have just sat there in your seat, waiting to die?

To the editors, reporters and columnists of the New
York Times: Would you have concluded that the evidence
wasn't clear? That Todd Beamer hadn't "made his case"?
That no one had proved the "alleged" terrorists were
going to kill everyone on the plane? Would you have
pulled out your laptops to write up the story, sitting
in your seats, waiting to die?

To Li'l Tommy Daschle, Majority Leader of the Senate:
Would you have said, it's too early to make a decision
on this now. Politics should not be involved. Let's
just wait until after the election to decide on
rushing the cockpit? Besides, "I want to be the man in
charge, not Todd Beamer"? Would you have sat in your
seat, waiting to die? And while you are pondering that
question, keep in mind that Todd Beamer and the other
passengers may just have saved your life and those of
all your colleagues. Have you ever heard the quote,
"Mercy drops down from Heaven like the rain. It falls
on the just and the unjust alike."?

To the so-called leaders of the European Union: Would
you have said, this is an American plane, not a
European one. Unless the European airlines are
involved (and we have no reason to think they are),
this is not my problem? Would you have grumbled
quietly about the quality of the food, the vintage of
the wine, and the arrogance of the American
passengers, blaming America's foreign policy for
putting you in this situation, and sat in your seats
waiting to die?

To the so-called leaders of France: No need to even
pose the question. You're cheese-eating surrender
monkeys. Next.


To the Muslims in America: Would you have exchanged
high-fives with your "brothers" on the plane? Wished
them well? Accepted their apologies for the
unfortunate need for your demise? Said with them,
"Allah akbar," and asked to go to the cockpit so you
could have a good view of the "glorious strike against
the infidels"?

To Dan Rather and CBS News: Would you have said, "This
story isn't all about me"? Would you have said that
it's important to understand the grievances of the
hijackers? Would you have asked your cameraman to set
up, so you could get an interview with one of the
hijackers, and tried to borrow Todd Beamer's cell
phone for the important business of patching the clip
through to the news desk? Would you have imagined the
glory of saying on live television as the plane was
going into its final attack mode, "This is Dan Rather,
reporting from close to Ground Zero"? Would you resent
the passengers for cheating you out of this
once-in-a-lifetime scoop?

To Geraldo Rivera: You know that Dan Rather is a
washed-up wuss. You would have gotten the interview,
and jumped out the door of the plane with the tape in
your pocket, in hopes they would find your body, play
the tape, and award you the first ever posthumous
Emmy, right?


To the Framers of the Constitution and the victors in
the American Revolution: No need to ask you the
question. You already answered it in writing. Your
answer is found in the final paragraph of the
Declaration of Independence which you signed under the
threat of being hung by the neck until dead as
traitors to King George III. You pledged your "lives,
fortunes and sacred honor" to the cause. That's answer
enough."

At least it's enough for me. How about you?
