Christine O'Donnell Wins...Karl Rove Proves GOP Not Necessarily a Conservatives Friend
Christine O'Donnell, immediately after upsetting her opponent, long time establishment RINO Mike Castle, is immediately blasted by Karlo Rove on Hannity's show. The Republican Party further stated that they will not be supporting O'Donnell financially in the election race.
Pay attention!! The GOP is not always the friend of Conservatives.

Nine Years Later...What Have We Learned? How Have We Changed?
Tomorrow is the ninth anniversary of an event which none can argue, changed our nation. Furthermore, it changed the lives of many families around our nation forever, as they slowly realized that their loved one(s) were not coming home. As we went from shock, to disbelief, to fear, and then to anger, we were forced to come to terms with the fact that our nation was no longer safe from the centuries old violence in the Middle East. We were no longer able to turn a blind eye to the clues and events which foretold just such an attack for decades. Events we wrote off as isolated in the past:

Unified for the first time in a long time, our President, George W. Bush made a bold statement to the nation and the world.
Three days later, Bush again addresses the American people at Ground Zero
America was united in it's desire to bring justice to those responsible for the terrorist act.
Where are we today??
On the eve of the ninth anniversary of this terrible act, we have again allowed political correctness to weaken our resolve, our defense, and our nation. We now have an administration which seeks to apologize and appease our enemies, while alienating our allies.
They insist that America be tolerant of a religion which preaches hate and murder to any who do not accept and believe in it, subjugation of women, and condoned pedophilia. The same religion which justifies the killing of 3,000 innocent Americans in this massacre we remember now as 9/11.
On the very ground we remember this event taking place, a radical muslim, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, who refuses to condemn the terrorist group Hamas, and believes that 9/11 was partially America's fault, has plans to build an Islamic Mosque. As I have stated in an earlier article, constitutionally he has every right to do this, and I do not support our government interfering with the plans. Though something is legally right, that does not necessarily make it morally right.
In another section of the country we have another radical, who believes that burning Korans will somehow solve something. Again I say, though something is legally right, it does not make it morally right.
It is obvious we have allowed our visibility to become zero again, with our heads tucked comfortably back in the same hole it found itself in nine years ago, more concerned with our economic futures than with the ongoing security which allows our liberty and freedom to pursue said economic gain.
On the ninth anniversary I again state the phrase that adorned so many bumper stickers, and is branded in the hearts and minds of the families who lost loved one on that horrible day, "Never Forget"
NEVER FORGET those who lost loved ones.
NEVER FORGET what you were doing that morning.
NEVER FORGET the thoughts that went through your head when you watched the coverage.
NEVER FORGET who the perpetrators of this violence were (no, it was not our government whacko truthers).
NEVER FORGET those who perished.
NEVER FORGET those who danced in the streets, celebrating the deaths.
NEVER FORGET those who wish to end our way of life.
NEVER FORGET those who fight each day to maintain our way of life.
NEVER FORGET!!!!
