    When you think about it political correctness gave us more than Fort Hood; it gave us 911 as well. We were willfully blind because we chose to be under a philosophy that has proved to be suicidal on multiple occasions yet we keep reverting back to the same minset that creates these problems. How many people have to suffer and die to allow some people to feel good about themselves while attempting to prove that American values are not worth defending?

    Even though she makes an impassioned plea as a mother, I wish Tim Brown had caught his ear…or someone had the gumption to mention his ties to a certain lawfirm.

    Faxed to all of the Senators today.

    To the Senators and Congressman of the United States of America:

    I plead to you as a registered voter of this great Nation. You have been through a lot lately and I would not want your job. You are torn between honoring a President and honoring the people. I ask you to take a moment to stop everything, where there is no noise of any kind. Stop all cell phones, computers, phones and any interruptions. Take only 5 minutes of silence and look at our Flag of the United States of America and say the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer to God above who is watching, to help you in your decision making. I do this each morning and each star represents each soldier who has lost their life in the name of Freedom.

    Money comes and goes, but Character lasts forever. The decisions you are each embracing now, you will always live with because you cannot get away from the man or woman in the mirror. Its like when I raised my children, I always told them when it came time for decisions, “Can you live with that?” and the same goes true for each of you.

    This country has never been torn like it is now. There are things going on that go against our basic beliefs. What is wrong is wrong and what is right is right seems to no longer exist. I pray that you go back to each of your roots and decipher this and then lift your head high knowing you did the absolute best when you cast a vote.

    You see, its not about Health Care, its not about stimulus, its about right and wrong. We have lost our boundaries and let things happen that should not be. America never lost her boundaries, we the people lost ours. We didn’t stand up for what is right because we are like the President wanted to be liked more than being attacked. Like the old saying goes, you sell yourself out to the devil when you don’t take a stand.

    My heart bleeds for the Americans who have a child or a sister or a brother or spouse or Mom or Dad fighting for this great nation of ours. As I go outside to my Flag each morning and say the Pledge of Allegiance and say a prayer for each of our troops, I also pray that Truth will be known in Washington. You see, I feel in my heart we are being attacked from the inside of America. You can see it as well as I. You can see all of the signs and only each of you can stop it and require investigations on each decision made.

    Money that is taken from American people that work everyday to be thrown away is a crime and only each of you can answer to them. We have a society that is so discouraged because they have lost their jobs and some of the leaders in Washington spend money like there is no tomorrow. We have Americans killing themselves and their families because of the pressure all around.

    Washington must be accountable for every dime it spends and if not, you as our representatives should not stand for it. Washington must protect America and have a President and a cabinet that also does. How sad it is for the people of New York City to have to relive what was one of the most devastating tragedies in our lifetime. I plead with each of you, to really think about what is going on. We have a commander and chief and staff that cares more about the detainees than our troops. His staff spends money and can’t account for it. We have people starving due to his staff cutting jobs instead of creating jobs. Take a moment of silence and look at the total picture.

    If the detainees are brought to the United States of America, the United States of America will no longer be. Not only will we be attacked from overseas, but the detainees will be freed, all in the name of a dollar. I pray that you the Senate and Congress will do a full investigation of Acorn and throw out all of the votes that they registered for being fraud and do a recount. Do an investigation of all of the spending in Washington, and most of all why the commander and chief is so determined to bring the detainees to our Country. He said he was going to change America, change could be destroy. 1st the economy..2nd the innocent lives of people with attacks from overseas.

    I pray that each of you will take the 5 minutes I have asked and look at the Flag of the United States of America and say a prayer. You are responsible for the blood of every American. Money is not worth it. Go back to your roots, what would your Mother say?

    My prayers are with each of you at this time. May God Bless

    Sincerely,
    Debra K. Wilson

    Debra, the letter you wrote was so wonderful and it is inspiring to know that there are Americans who feel as strongly as you about right and wrong. I read it twice.

    Unfortunately you wrote it to the same people who last night voted to go forward on a health care bill that will almost certainly eventually bring socialized medicine into America. Ultimately, what has been done, by people who know as much about medicine and surgery as they do about our Constitution, freedom, liberty and choice, is to prematurely permit the death of more Americans than cumulatively died in all the wars this country has been engaged in since its founding. They did it at our expense and against our collective and individual will. These Americans will not die in battle, they will die because the intrinsic natural right of self-defense will be compromised and they will be prevented from making their own, life and death, medical decisions.

    When this event transpires it will be extremely difficult to undue even if we are successful before 2012 because it would take a super majority in the House and Senate to override the certain Presidential veto. Even after that date any corrective measures would require a majority vote of sixty senators an event that would not be supported by any of the sixty that did what they did last night. Never, in the history of America, has so many lost so much freedom, so fast, as they have in the last eleven months, by this President and the Congressional majority that supports him.

    I keep hearing that this trial is designed to enlighten the World (especially our enemies) about how wonderful our system of justice is because we provide, even for the guiltiest of war criminals, every opportunity to defend themselves. That is not the point of the trial. We all know the Administration and their justice Department concocted it, not to praise America, but to disparage her. If we really wanted to show the World how wonderful America is then spend a decade or two educating the young population in Afghanistan about the virtues of freedom, liberty and capitalism. Only when you have created a mindset that extols American values and eliminates Sharia law can you be certain that you have an ally and friend whose permanence can be guaranteed. This trial only inflames and supports the mindset that is already there and characterizes America as weak, susceptible to further acts of terrorism and is self-deprecating. The terrorists know that and will interpret it in no other way. The Administration also knows that it has no stomach to prevail in Afghanistan and needs to convince Americans that we have neither the right nor obligation to change other countries’ cultures. To the minimal extent that this trial lends validity, to what is nothing more than a political endeavor, will be unimportant as long as it provides some political cover for military failure. It is not about what is right but what they believe is wrong and how you politically juxtaposition a loss in Afghanistan (which is unpalatable for most Americans) with a logical explanation as to why we must leave Afghanistan and accept that she should be run by her own cultures, which is the basic desire of the Administration, and its ultra left cultist supporters, that hate the military and the America they defend.

    With all due respect first and foremost it was an act of war,second of all any good legal councel would have enough knowledge that any defense attorneyt he gets will still seek a change of venue,i am not an attorney however i am aware that once it is decided to try him in a regular court his first defense would be to seek a change of venue meaning that his rights would be violated because of the overwhelming personal grief and judgement the city of new york citizens would feel therefore he could not effectively be given a fair trial due to jury prejudice…….that is facts….so why would this attorney general seek to pursue this costly trial in this manner unless he has made a deal with the devil himself. Next is the president has a moral obligation to consider all families closely associated with this disaster and should advis this be a military trial. I would love to express more on this subject but i believe this is plain enough. It is a waste of taxpayers money,it gives far too many rights to someone that is not a citizen ..is a terrorist….and that has no concern for humanity. If the attorney general wanted to speak on why this has not gone before any court yet he should expose that we had hopes to intimidate the terrorist to give us information on bin ladin and therefore the past administration was slow at prosicuting. My heart goes out to all that died and that have closely lived through 911 and see no reason why at their expense any future hurt must be so close upon them. A president has a duty to consider our feelings not just the tax dollars they wish to spend.

    It all comes down to this – Obama is hellbent on humiliating Bush & Cheney. Granting an Islamofascist a civilian court, is the only way to ensure this. Make no mistake. Obama and Libs are vindictive people. THe taste for revenge smoulders inside them! It is really a shame that American voted in such a person to be COmmander In Chief. That is the most galling thing – Obama the Commander In Chief? You got to be kidding. Unfortunately the nightmare has come true!

    Heath, my lib neice, living in San Fran actually got a call from one of her lib friends who complained that they keep voting in democrats and the results seem to be awful. It seems that “hope and change” is getting to them. I never thought I would live to see the day that a comment like that would emanate fom this person living in San Fran whose husband and social network of friends are the purist of libs. It seems you can get a lot more attention via pain and suffering than years of logical rhetoric.

    She is just too damn polite. I hate to see people grovel before their tormentors. It just gives them further satisfaction.
