Nine / Eleven


Nine / Eleven / Two-Thousand and One, a day that will live in infamy throughout the hearts, minds and souls of the citizens of this nation.

When thinking back to this day in our history the words HONOR, COURAGE, SELFLESSNESS, DEDICATION, SACRIFICE, DESTRUCTION, DEATH, BETRAYAL, RETRIBUTION and PAYBACK come to mind along with a host of others that cannot even begin to describe the mood of this nation, then and now. We will not forget, we cannot forget, 9/11 has changed the very way we live and even think, forever.

Though we firmly believe in our total freedom the idea of English taught in our schools as a second language is now abhorrent, the laws passed and affirmed by our Supreme Court stating that school prayer in a nation whose motto is "Under God" is illegal, is now as it was then, insane. Every piece of United States currency states "In God We Trust", do we now burn it all and place "Trust No One"?

To those that would come to our shores looking for a new way of life, a new beginning, relief from the oppression and tyrany of your homeland, remember you are a guest in our country until you become a citizen, learn our language and our customs, do not expect us to conform to the way that you are used to living, you came to us, not we to you. Above all, do not try to change the way we live, it is you that must adapt, if you cannot then get the Hell out and go back where you came from.

Since 9/11, I have received hundreds of emails with words and pictures attached, these are the thoughts and concerns of the citizens of our nation, some are sincere, some humorous, some sad, some show anger and some are vulgar, if you do not like what you see or it offends you, I apologize in advance if that is not enough then stop looking, that is your right as an American, if you don't like what you see, turn it off and move on. I hope that all of the good Arabs around the world and our own Arab Americans know that these pages are intended for Osama & Company and not them. If you have anything you would like posted, send it along, I will put it up until I run out of space.

On 9/11/2004 take a moment to look back and another to look forward, ask yourself "What can I do to help"? Then remember those that gave their lives for your freedom, and say a prayer for those that will surely give their lives for that same freedom in the future. For five generations, each male member of this family has served in the United States Military, My son is currently serving in Iraq, one of my daughters is not far behind. We have all survived this great experience, some wounded, but all came home, many of our comrades in arms did not, and to them and all those that have served, we owe our very existence.

One day in a small airport near Tulsa, 3 people sat at a bar waiting for their plane to be repaired so that they could be on their way.
 
After about an hour and a half they finally began to speak to one another, the first was an America Indian who had been drinking beer all night and had all he could do to stand. He said,"Once my people were many, we were strong and ruled our endless land, now we are few, we are weak and we have lost our land."(This of course was before casino gambling), he then looked at the other two travelers and asked, "Why do you think that is?"
 
Both men shook their heads and did not answer.
 
The next to speak was an Arab, he had been drinking orange juice all night as he was not by religion allowed alcohol, he stood and pounded on his chest and said,"Once we were few, we were poor and we were weak, now we are many, we are rich and we are strong." He then asked"Why do you think that is"?
 
The third man, a tall lanky Texan who had been drinking Bourbon all night shifted the wooden match stick from one side of his mouth to the other and said in a long Texas drawl, "It's because we haven't started playing Cowboys and Arabs yet."

Three guys were walking down the beach one day when they came upon a bottle stuck in the sand, one man pulled it loose and all three reached out and touched it at the same time. Low and behold a Genie popped out and said "Ah shit, I've only got 3 wishes to give out so it looks like you guys are gonna get only one each."
 
The Genie looked at the first guy who happened to be Black and said "Ok Buford, make a wish." The Black Man thought for a moment and said "I wish that all my people were free and well educated", and with that POOF!! he disappeared and all of his people were free and well educated.
 
The Genie then looked at the second man who happened to be an Arab and said "Ok Abdullah, make a wish." The Arab thought for a moment and said "I want a wall 2500 feet high all the way around my homeland, it can have no doors, no entrances or exits of any kind, I want all of my people inside that wall, I want them to have everything they ever wanted and I want them to be happy forever", and with that POOF!! he was gone and all his people were inside the wall with everything they ever wanted and they were happy forever.
 
The Genie then looked at the third man who happened to be a  New Yorker and said, "Ok Bubba (the Genie wasn't real good with names) make a wish."
The New Yorker thought for a moment and said, "You know that wall you just built for the Arab?" The Genie said "Yes", to which the New Yorker said "Fill it with water" POOF!!
