Meditation: "Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice"

Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families.

~Benjamin Rush, signatory of the Declaration of Independence

Barack Hussein Obama talks a good game of "dialog," good enough to have convinced millions of American voters that he can sit down and sweet talk some sense into our enemies ("they're people too"), but when it comes to New Yorkers still grieving from 9-11, his idea of "dialog" is to turn his back on them while they stand out in the cold December rain, mutely asking:

"Why RU Giving terrorists a voice??"

That's a good question. Why give terrorists a voice?

Does Obama really think that trampling on the spirits of his own injured countrymen and countrywomen, on the hearts and minds of the widows and widowers and orphans of Americans murdered that day will gain him the respect of terrorists?

He's obviously not interested in the respect of Americans.











Here's a sadder, infinitely sadder, question, posed on behalf of the 2921 souls lost that day:

"Can you hear us now?"

The president's answer is obvious.

And here are some women from the neighborhood pleading to have the bull's eye taken off their backs, and the backs of their families, too.



Who is listening?

Only one news truck even bothered to show up:


I give Fox News credit. And credit to Gathering of Eagles: NY, who reported on yesterday's rally of New Yorkers protesting Obama's decision to try terrorists in civilian courts only a short distance away from the former site of the Twin Towers.
