Did you hear what George Bush said at the dedication of the memorial to the passengers of Flight 93? Apparently he said "One of the lessons of 9/11 is that evil is real, and so is courage." Two lessons, I mean. I'm not sure I could have handled seeing a group of people not throwing their shoes at Bush as he pretended to expound on a lesson, let alone about what's real. George, the truth is, your audience obviously doesn't understand the half of this lesson, how truly evil the perpetrators possibly were, they still can't conceive it. As to courage, I don't mean to diminish the heroism of the first responders, who show tremendous bravery every day, but for the slain of September 11th, their courage was not something new. The police and firemen who rushed into the stairwells of the WTC had no inkling it was going to come down. A building like that never had before. Planes have flown into the tallest skyscrapers, flames have engulfed entire buildings, but steel structures have never fallen. So the rescuers were their usual courageous, but the only lesson of that day, was that the world around them, and its physics, would turn out to be not what it seemed. Bush was almost certainly reflecting how 9/11 schooled him on courage, a trait whose reality would have been news to him.

Tea-Party Skulks decide to ramp up their terrorism…
Only, like the jackals they truly are, they did drive-by windowbreakinsgs and split before anybody could fight them. Guess it's a Republican thing, you know, institutionalized cowardice. Their Skulk "leaders" at DumFox Noose Nutwerx are "fighting a war against Liberals" the same way they "fought" in the VietNam War, which they universally supported, just, you know, not with their own personal presence. Beck and Limbaugh and Malkin and O'Reilly, Ted "I shit my pants and didn't shower for a month to play crazy in order to not go to the VietNam War I supported" Nugent, doing their Same Old Tired Ass ChickenHawk routine, urging OTHER PEOPLE to commit the crimes they're just too yellow to commit themselves. These "leaders" also tell their Demented Disciples that all you have to do is show a gun to a Liberal and he'll fold up like a soft-shell taco and say "Oh, Please, Mr. Minuteman Coward, Sir, Please don't shoot me!" Even though they were proved wrong at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville TN... Adkisson is right now in protective custody, hiding behind several rows of bars and a phalanx of Tennessee cops while he shouts "Nigger nigger nigger" at fellow inmates... like the True Monkey in The Zoo that he is. That's Republican "courage" in action. He picked a fight with a church where he thought everybody was helpless. Kind of like a 4th grade kid who tries to make a reputation beating up on Kindergarten students. Yep, them Republicans sho' does love them some Baby-Killing. By the way, for those of our newer readers who were hiding under a rock for the past couple of years, two of the "Liberals he shot to death before being wrestled to the ground, one was a Retired Marine.. and both of them got between the muzzle of his Elmer Fudd pop-gun and the CHILDREN of the church who he was targeting. "Be vewwy vewwy quiet--- I'm hunting Wibewals! huhuhuhuhuhu!" See, Oh Big Bwave "patwiiots", the problem with your leaders' plans is that exactly NONE of you Tee-Pottie freaks are man enough to do anything like that unless you catch somebody out alone, and you have several of your Big Bwave Patwiot Fwiends with you. And your Elmer Fudd guns. You're just as yellow as your "leaders". Karl Rove, speaking of Killer Kowardice, actually wrote a book using the word "courage" as part of the title. I used to wonder if all the Republicans are a bunch of chickenshit Retards. Now it's been confirmed.
