11. Initially I admit I was very worried about another attack
   But with so many level headed people on this site (you among them), my nerves were soon calmed.

Keep reading to see the "level headed". :lmao:

2. My uncle and I immediately agreed that the whole scenario reminded us of
   the burning of the Reichstag in Berlin which in turn gave Hitler the ability to get the legislature to pass his version of the PATRIOT Act, called the Enabling Act.

4. I still wonder how close we came to global annihilation.
   I thought for sure he was going to seize it as his excuse to start dropping nukes.

5. Something else
   But I can't say it here. Which is fine. Some people would get po'd if I did. So I'll just hold back.

I can say that I was worried about what happened to our military since it failed to stop the 'attack'. But that's all I will say.

9. I wasn't really big and all informed in politics and all.. but as I sat there
   watching the towers burn along side my roommate, I silently thought, "what have you done you murderous ****; George Bush; what have you done?" AND that was well before I knew as much as I know now about that disater of a family.

Yeah sure,whatever.  :whatever:

13. Since from the moment I saw the plane hit the 2nd tower on TV I was sure in my gut that bushco
   had some kind of hand in it, I only worried about what else bushco would do.

15. yep,
   I came into work, was told what happened. They had a TV on. My very first thought was Bush was connected in some way.

19. In the weeks and months after 9/11,
   I waited for reasonable explanations for the nearly free-fall collapse of the 3 WTC buildings and the absence of plane wreckage in Pennsylvania and on the Pentagon lawn.

By 2004, I stopped waiting for an explanation that would exonerate the Bush/Cheney gang and did some research myself. That's when I started to live without hope for democracy in America.

   

Still in GD at the DUmp...soon will be moved to the dungeon where sane passersby won`t see it.

IF he had declared martial law, created the Bush Youth (instead of leaving that for O), declared Iraq and Afghanistan to be American territories, taken over Mexico and Canada, and imprisoned all the DUmp and like-minded...maybe they'd have a point.  Maybe.   :lmao:

For entirely different reasons than the DUers, I wasn't concerned about another attack.  It just wouldn't have fit with terrorist capabilities or operational constraints and methods.  Their position on it is almost entirely based on emotion rather and facts and analysis, so any similarity in the result is purely coincidental.

You mean like this?

"We start 2009 in the midst of a crisis unlike any we have seen in our lifetime, a crisis that has only deepened over the last few weeks." - Jan. 8, in a speech at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va.

And their are plenty more from our illustrious President.   :whatever:

You mean like government seizing entire portions of the private sector? Borrowing more cash from the Chinese than we'll ever be able to repay? Setting salaries for the private sector? Giving the Treasury Department new broad powers to seize businesses on a whim, Congress and the Constitution be damned?

WTF?? Their FIRST reaction to 9/11 was that Bush had a hand in it, or caused it? Not, those poor, poor people, who did this, why did they do this, will there be more attacks, will they find more people alive, will emergency workers be able to get in there and do what they need to do, is there anything I can do? Or prayers for the families of the victims, prayers for those who helped with the emergency, prayers for our nation? How sick do you have to be, when none of those were running through your head, but Bush's response/and or culpability is your FIRST thought?

There is no virtue in compulsory government charity, and there is no virtue in advocating it. A politician who portrays himself as caring and sensitive because he wants to expand the government's charitable programs is merely saying that he is willing to do good with other people's money. Well, who isn't? And a voter who takes pride in supporting such programs is telling us that he will do good with his own money— if a gun is held to his head.

They're DUmmys.....once you realise that hatred of America, conservatives and Republicans in general and all things President Bush specifically comes first to the denizens of the DUmp, it all makes sense.

This is the normal thought processes that pass for "intelligence" at the DUmp....

I firmly believe that if the entire IQ of the DUmp's residents were added together, it might reach double-digits....

I still wonder how they can read anything on their computer monitors thru all the crayon scribble....
