Seven years ago this thursday life changed forever in America.On that day murdering thugs carried out a carefully crafted plan that resulted in the worse mass murder in American history. I was in college at the time and that morning a professor walked in to announce that an event had just happened that was like Pearl Harbor.He was right. I rushed home to find my wife in tears and on the TV I saw the second plane crash into the second tower. Why? dear God...WHY???I soon got my answer.The name of osama ben-laden became a name of infamy.Like the attack in 1941 we were struck by a very real enemy with very real plans for us. However,unlike pearl harbor,this time our enemy is not a country but an idology-militant Islam. We are a free nation. They do not want us to be free. It is about as simple as that. We are free to speak,write,and more importantly VOTE!!!!The stakes in this election year could not be higher in my opinion. We have literally a choice of true war hero and a strong conservative or some wannabe who will sit down with our avowed enemies and fully expect them to"play nice". A fellow named Nevelle Chamberlain tried that and it did not go very well. In their planning of the attack on pearl harbor the Japanese thought if we were dealt such a crushing blow we would fragment both morally and polically then seek peace on their terms. They thought wrong.Something happened in America right after the attack--we woke up!!"we have awakened a sleeping giant " were the words of the Japanese admarial-Yes, we became a p___ed off "incredable hulk" with a blowtorch. Now after 9/11 we just cannot aford to get drowsy now! The naysayers may say that we are napping already--they obviosly did not see the republican convention. Our national resolve is strong--the giant is awake---again!!!!!
