I ...I was pregnant with my first child during 9/11. I remember placing my hand on my swollen stomach thinking, what have I done? Why am I bringing a child into a world that is ending before my very eyes? I had this awful sense of dread that nothing would ever be the same. I remember watching footage for days on end, wanting to rush in to help, but being unable to do so. I have never felt so helpless. I remember watching President Bush continue to read to school children when he heard the news. The shock registered on his face, yet he kept reading. I saw a FATHER, reading to OUR children, knowing that their world would never be the same. I was a democrat then and I remember the liberal media and celebrities begin to rake him over the coals for the VERY act that made him human. They accused him of being uncaring. How did they miss what I saw? As a new mother? It angered me and changed me. For that very reason, I am now a 9/12 conservative, because our security on our own soil is of the utmost importance. <br /><br /> I agree with you 100%, but I will go one step further. Too many people- media, politicians, rodeo clowns, have used 9/11 to further their own gain... at the expense of all of us. One side or the other pandering to our own fears and emotions, playing us against one another. <br /><br />They are doing the same thing now, all of them. Except they are using race. What better way to dehumanize your enemy in America? Turn our own hard fought history against us. Use the one thing that incites the most anger. Shame on them, each and every one, as they play a game of evil proportions. Trust me they do so knowing the outcome. We the people, must stand together with respect of each others views. Let them know that we are tired of the games against us. Our very freedom is at stake. We will see each other in chains if we continue to let them call the shots.<br /><br />Great blog, Genma, see you on twitter. :)<br /><br />asaro4.blogspot.comkimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430260692283838243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195576014489760555.post-49825175284033161212009-10-12T10:59:05.738-05:002009-10-12T10:59:05.738-05:00Hi Jenna,

As a Christian I am first concerned about Christ and how things impact the things that He has commanded for those who "love" him. I am not concerned about lip syncing Christains, as they are only professing Christ, however do not follow His ways.<br /><br />I did not know much about Glenn Beck before meeting him for the 9/12 challenge. I thought he was just another funny entertainer. But after meeting him and speaking with him personally, I have found that first of all he is a man who loves Jesus and he is a man who loves our country.<br /><br />I follow Christ and Him alone, in that, I embrace my sisters and brothers in Christ. The 9/12 project and the Tea Party movements are two totally different works. The 9/12 project is an effort, to get Americans back centered on God. The second principle of the 9/12 project says that God is the center of my life. For me that is the first priniciple. Glenn Becks first principle says that America is good. If you would go to his 9/12 project site you will see an explanation of his 9/12 values.<br /><br />President Obama has very anti-Christ, sentiments, he is a full fledged supporter of abortion. Which is a total dissent against the sanctity of life which only God has power to give and take away not man. Women are only carriers of life, they can not create life, so therefore should not be having the authority to say a child should live or die. <br /><br />You speak as those you are one who has faith, and so I am confident that you will do what Christ would find acceptable, not me, nor your readers, nor President Obama. I can disagree with our President because my color is not my God, God the living God who created heaven and earth is my God. I weigh President Obama based solely on his ideologies, and character and as I compare his beliefs to those of the commandments of God I find that he is not one who embraces the principles of Biblical Christianity. Glenn Beck is a brother in Christ. Jesus tells us in the Gospels that His sheep, hear His voice, and they follow Him. After personally meeting and speaking with Glenn Beck I see a sincerely desire to follow Jesus.Mary Bakerhttp://www.marymbaker.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195576014489760555.post-31266394254897262572009-09-14T08:08:54.006-05:002009-09-14T08:08:54.006-05:00Very nicely done...a calm, coherent voice in the m...Very nicely done...a calm, coherent voice in the midst of all of "this".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047144806524705807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195576014489760555.post-32071196204135686262009-09-14T07:58:35.995-05:002009-09-14T07:58:35.995-05:009/11 happened about one week after my mother passe...9/11 happened about one week after my mother passed away. I was grieving very heavily still when all that happened. I remember trying to drive home that day. It was most difficult. I went into a very dark depression with that double shot of difficult things to deal with. <br /><br />For me, I find that it is not very healthy to dwell on 9/11 unnecessarily. That day is now past. <br /><br />I've got to keep focused on today.Charles Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131219058257217115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8195576014489760555.post-42469930042312372842009-09-14T07:52:49.666-05:002009-09-14T07:52:49.666-05:00The day 9/11 occurred people in my department at w...The day 9/11 occurred people in my department at work were assembled in a conference room with a TV link to see the news. We were all in shock. I knew several mideastern people who worked in the engineering department and I was concerned for them. I spoke out to alert people to be sensitive to them. Most people really did not know what to say as it happened. <br /><br />This guy Glenn Beck is just an alarmist who is looking for followers and generating $$ for his employer. If that were not true, they would have run him off for all the outrageous things he says and does. It easy for people to fall in to his trap. He puts on "antics" just like a comedian does. <br /><br />We are all free to decide what we watch. I keep him OFF. Its not what I need to hear.<br /><br />CharlesCharles Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10131219058257217115noreply@blogger.com
