In the end, nobody is satisfied.Joanne (True Blue)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17445664997050698154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-1141746323875254502006-03-07T10:45:00.000-05:002006-03-07T10:45:00.000-05:00I disagree Jo, when you said the left and the medi...I disagree Jo, when you said the left and the media would get behind the U.S. President if another 911 took place. I think that the media and the left leaning democrats & Hollywood are so consumed with hatred toward George W. Bush that they are blinded by their hatred as to who the real enemy is. Terrorists are really Islamic fundamentalists . <BR/>I really think that everyone is really walking in fear and tippy-toeing around saying what is really happening here. The free press is quaking in fear now after the cartoon incident. With half the world in an uproar over what a simple cartoon can provoke, think of what can happen if someone wrote a book like Salmon Rushdie did, who had his very life threatened. But a safer target for the press and the left is Christianity. The book the DaVinci code & the movie coming out, is a direct slap at the divinity of Jesus Christ, but no death threats or millions of Christians demonstrating will happen. So do I think that the American left would unify in the face of another 911? The answer is only for a short time as they did after 911 and then the same old, same old would happen. Abraham Lincoln said a nation divided cannot stand and you can see by such divisions within the American free culture, hatred spewing from everyone's mouth. Can America and the West survive with such a determined enemy at it's throat? I say as a Christian, only by the grace of God. Chamberlain tried to appease Hitler and it did not work. What lies ahead is maybe Matthew 24 in the Bible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-1140804029469015332006-02-24T13:00:00.000-05:002006-02-24T13:00:00.000-05:00Yeah, I agree with you Gerry. I wonder why Hollywo...Yeah, I agree with you Gerry. I wonder why Hollywood and the artsy types are so left-wing. I heard that Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong broke up over political differences!

I also still feel the silent majority in the U.S. strongly agree with Christian values and morales, unfortunately they are not heard until election day. Hollywood and Michael Moore's attempts to derail Bush's re-election failed, as did the all other attempts to blame him for everything wrong in the World. Americans for the most part are my kind of people and I'm extremely glad they're our neighbour - Canada has a lot to be thankful for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20283843.post-1140791547359816742006-02-24T09:32:00.000-05:002006-02-24T09:32:00.000-05:00Right on Jo!Right on Jo!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
