Sorry Again Joe
“Sorry Joe” caused too much dissension so I turned it back into a Draft copy. It still exists but is not visible. If y’all want it back, I’ll repost it.
But … Wow! … that wasn’t the intent … this should be a “friendly” site.

It’s gone? Why?
“You can’t handle the truth!” – Jack Nicholson in a movie I never saw.
I’m not saying you ghost, but others around here.
I doubt any of us know “the truth”; we all just have opinions.
Hey DT, I hold with Ghost. It’s your site, but I think we can stand a little disagreement here.
Some of the comments – some not posted – were getting a bit nasty and personal.
How are people to learn?
I might be new here but I enjoy other peoples opinions–learn a lot
Truth isn’t friendly. It’s the truth. You know the old saying about opinions, how everybody’s got one? Truth isn’t lazy hearsay; a convenient source cooing an explanation to appease your doubts, much like a pacifier shoved into a baby’s mouth… or jangling keys in his face to keep him distracted. Many do not know the truth and instead resort to a tired cliche to bring an end to the uncomfortable feeling that you don’t know and truly don’t care. I recognize these people instantly and don’t regard them as friends nor friendly.
Can’t we all just get along? – Rodney King
I will not apologize for sending in the article. Yesterday I believe I saw a blurb about the article stirring the pot and a lot of people responding. When people are afraid to examine history, especially history as it is being made, you have to ask why? Here, in the greatest, most Blessed nation in the annals of history we are witnessing the pillars of our foundation being destroyed and most people are not even aware. Most ( I would guess 75%) of American people do not care as long as they got their bag of chips and their tv works. Other people, a much smaller group do care and are made out to be crackpots, conspiracy nuts, chrome domes. There is an old cliche that basically says they are turning over in their graves. If there is even the slightest hint that maybe they, our founding fathers and all who have gone before us are not turning over in their graves but are observing from above, they are surely pissed. Rightfully so. Government sponsored subversion and those American Judas’, who so blindly toss away our heritage, may you all be rebuked.

“will not apologize for sending in the article.”
Good – because I agree with you; right or wrong, the article was worth consideration. I wouldn’t have mentioned it otherwise. My apology to you was for not posting the article as you suggested, not for what the article stated. I had copyright concerns; I did find a site where the article was posted and pointed readers to it.
I am uncomfortable posting any copyrighted material (such as everything on this site – or someone else’s site) without specific author permission … as I have from Jean, ghost, and others on this site.
I used the word “dot” instead of a period in the address because live links can create site security issues. I may have taken care of that and I’ll start posting live links where appropriate until I have reason to stop.
I pulled the post because the comments discussion was deteriorating into name-calling and personal attacks; most of them caught in my “review before posting” comments trap.
No one on this site >knows< the truth about 9/11; nothing more than opinions based on dubious people - of all sides - stating what they hope to be the official truth. Personally, I think there was something squirrely going on but I don't have enough information to make a firm statement. Disagreement among ourselves on what or who happened are acceptable but when it gets down to personal attacks ... that's no longer a discourse, that's a D argument tactic: "You're a racist Nazi" I've had enough comments - on site and email - about pulling the post that I've asked everyone to "vote" on whether or not the post should be re-instated. None of the respondents so far have provided a clear answer. If most of you want to see the article reposted, I'll do so but tell me so on the Poll post without commentary. Yes/No is sufficient. As of now, I assume I have no votes one way or the other. Unfortunately, 9/11 has been superseded in most people's minds; 25 years ago, longer than many have been alive and so much more has happened since then. And the muzzies appear to have won given what's going on now in NY state and city. Getting on time to bring out The Committee with fresh ropes; this division in the country needs to be settled, good or bad. US Congressman Randy Fine: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one” I stand with the dogs.
DT, Unfortunately, as a dog, Randy Fine’s double entendre is malicious.
