Patriot's Day

I had a discussion with another regarding a foriegn nation...,

 - In considering foriegn nations, I generally append George Washington's view regarding said matters. Afterall, it was a well-reasoned consideration...at what point and time did the affairs of a foriegn nation even remotely become the concern of America and it's Citizenry? Certainly, trade and commerce were regarded...but to become intertwined with foriegn politics (especially thier wars) were, are and always should be NOT the concern of America and Our Interests. For a true, indepth understanding...I will be including a link to George Washington, America's First President's, Farewell Address as a link unto which I (myself, singular) believe that it is REQUIRED READING by ALL Citizens of the United States for therein lies the resolution of a great many troubles which currently exist within Our Great Nation.
 - I know it is an atrocity to regard what the Leaders of China are doing to thier own Citizens, but it is unto the Citizens of China whom must seek restitution for said atrocties. Please do not regard me as callous, but such ideologies such as Freedom of Speech MUST be actualized by it's Citizenry for no outside influence will make it so. One simply cannot encourage or lead another to Freedom if they do not, inherent in themselves, desire it...for wence proffered, will reject it and seek once more the fallacious beliefs in the succoring comforts and safety of thier own self-made slavery.

 - Whatever the reasoning behind China's current state, you will find most assuredly a 'good reason' behind it. Be it 'nationalism', 'communism', 'fanaticism' or just plain 'totalitarianism' - ANYONE seeking to append that which they cannot already accede themselves do not do so because they are forced...they do this because they truely do not have within themselves, the desire to be Free. We are seeing this phenomenon occuring in America...
 - If you are provided CONSTANT RELIABLE PROOF that the TSA is ENTIRELY INCAPABLE of preventing 'the emminent hostile takeover of an airborne vessel' by innumerous accounts of individuals whom have ALREADY BYPASSED TSA 'Security Checkpoints' with invariable implements that, should they be employed, would be MORE THEN CAPABLE of performing the task neccessary to commence forthwith said hostile activity...then what possible logical reason could be appended to support the TSA, the inviolations of the Constitution's 4th Amendment, the 'mandatory nude body scans and/or direct physical violations'? Answer:...

 - ...none.

 - If there are over 100,000 UNCHARTED AIRCRAFT within America alone that the FAA is NOT AWARE OF nor CAPABLE OF TRACKING DOWN and over 300,000 UNCHARTED AIRCRAFT that the FAA is UNAWARE OF internationally then is there an actual threat of 'terroristic attacks via the acquisition of airborne vessels'? Answer:...

 - ...over the past 10 years...the answer is no.

 - Is it due to the actions of the Government that has prevented 'terrorists' from once again striking America by way of regarding the former two points. Answer:...

 - ...no.

 - America is not so unlike China...it is heading that direction for some reason, the Elected Public Officials have been insisting that we be TERRORIZED and cowed into proffering the Our Rights upon THIER feet and append THIER decisions regarding that which they simply cannot provide - Security. Through this act, we have been more then willing to sacrifice that which the Constitution itself, despite the fact that it is only a document states that We, The People, simply cannot sever ourselves from:...

 - ...Personal Accountability and Responsibility for our own actions.

 - We, The People...it's a beautiful phrase...it means each and every single one of us - all of us are responsible, all of us are accountable for Our Nation...every single one of us. Isn't that the most empowering, PATRIOTIC thing you've ever heard...and it's been the same today as it's been back in the year 1776 when Our Founding Fathers first concieved the Declaration of Independence...we were going to be, ARE going to be Free.

"Personal responsibility is the price of liberty." -- Michael Cloud

 - Yes, I know...9/11 was a sad day in American History, but I've turned from the tragedy, I no longer mourn it...because I recall one particular incident that is NOT highly regarded and I think, personally, that it should be the ONLY thing regarded:...

 - ...United Airlines Flight 93.

 - I honour Flight 93 and the American Citizens who appended Patriotism, those whom embraced FREEDOM -AND- by THIER ACTIONS...defeated those misguided terrorists on thier own ground for any one of Reason knows that an empty field in Stonycreek Township, near Shanksville, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania was NOT thier target. Terrorism failed Flight 93, the 'terrorists' lost and that is exactly the mindset We, The People, need in America right now.
 - 'I' (myself, singular) want 9/11 to be no longer addressed as '9/11'...I want it to be referred to as 'Patriot's Day'. I will not allow myself to mourn the acts of individuals who so willingly gave thier lives so that others may live...I will not weep for them, I will give them the honours they are due. I will not concede to the fallacious belief that 'terrorism won' because in the Face of Bravery, in the Face of True PATRIOTISM...'terrorism' failed.
 - I will not append 'terrorism' without this Great Nation NOR WITHIN THIS GREAT NATION. I will fight it, for if I ever seek to truely Honour those passengers of Flight 93, then I must fight it...for I am a Patriot, and I do not fear for my Great Nation and the Sacred Blessings of Lady Liberty, which is bestowed upon all who would call themselves an American Citizen, via the United States Constitution and the Rights provided therein.

 - How do you defeat 'terrorism'?...by not being afraid.

Peace be with you,
The American Deist,
