September 11th: Fifteen Years Later, Have We Forgotten The Message That Was Sent?


Today marks the fifteenth anniversary of the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001. I remember that day vividly. It was surreal for me. I was in Rock Falls, IL that day and a mentor and trainer for Schwans Home Service. The day became less of a training day and more of a day of questions about what was happening. What was the reason for these attacks? Why would someone do this? Who is responsible for this kind of terrorist attack? Are there more attacks coming? All great questions that are just as applicable today as they were fifteen years ago. Have we forgotten the message that was sent to us that day?


The message was quite clear and chilling to anyone perceptive enough to receive it. It was a devastating blow and a shot across the bow. We are in a war for the survival of Western and Christian civilization. The war has been going on for several hundreds of years now. We just failed to grasp that reality of history. Ignorance and apathy tend to be very good at blinding us from the truth. The truth is that Islam is at war with us. That may not be politically correct to say, but it is honest and factual.

Unfortunately, over the last fifteen years, we still have failed to grasp this. Too many continue to ignore this ongoing war. We are losing this war. We have given back Iraq and Afghanistan to the terrorists. All those lives have been tragically lost and still we haven't engaged the enemy, or for that matter, even acknowledged the enemy. How can you defeat an enemy if you can't even identify and acknowledge them?


The truth is that you either submit to Islam or be killed. There is no peace or security until the enemy is defeated. This is hard for many to grasp. They have heard Islam is a religion of peace. Islam is a political ideology and completely antithetical to Western Civilization and our American way of life. They are not seeking to be one of many different religions, but they seek to be the only religion. A brief study of Mohammed and his life would give most people a better understanding of the motives and desires of the enemy. If you learn and know about Mohammed, you will learn and know Islam. Education is essential in this war.

The truth is that more attacks are coming. They will continue to take the war to us. We can continue to ignore this truth and deceive ourselves and eventually perish or we can choose to finally wake up and acknowledge the enemy and wholeheartedly fight back and defeat them. The war is raging on and the enemy is winning. Are we going to choose to honor the 3,000 plus who lost their lives fifteen years ago today and fight with the resolve and spirit needed to win this war or are we going to continue to cower in fear and be ignorant? Have we forgotten the message that was sent to us fifteen years ago?

How The Left Uses History To Undermine A Republic

Image
By now, most people have heard the liberals comparing President Trump to Adolf Hitler. One can assume this is due to Trump's immigration reform policies, his stance on Muslims and Muslim refugees, his ongoing conflicts with the mainstream media and print journalism, and his campaign slogan of "Make America Great Again". The more interesting analysis is why they would exactly do this. There are a couple reasons one can conclude for this. One reason would be they are not well-versed in German history and have just a cursory knowledge of NAZI Germany and thus don't honestly know the facts and truth of history. A second reason may be that they do have a full-fledged knowledge of the NAZI's and are just playing fast and loose with the truth and facts in order to paint a false narrative in the minds of Americans. With the dumbing down of America over the last several years through our failing education system, it is quite plausible that just incurring this image of H

When The Thought Police Come Calling

Image
  The thought police are alive and well and coming to your house, if you are a conservative thinker that is. Twitter decided to use their iron fist after the U.S. Capitol events to begin purging conservative accounts on their social media platform. Google and Apple decided to ban Parler from their app download stores on smartphones. Yes, Big Tech wants everyone to know they are the enforcers of what constitutes legitimate thought and what is deemed hate speech. Welcome to George Orwell's "1984". He should have entitled it, "2021".  This should send chills down your spine. Some will say these are businesses and thus they are allowed to choose who is on their various platforms. It's not a free speech issue they say and it doesn't bother them at all. While Twitter and Facebook are perfectly free to purge their users under their user agreements it should be a warning of what is to come. Remember Big Tech companies control much of the internet. These platform

An Open Letter To President Obama

Image
Dear President Obama, In your commencement address you delivered on Sunday, May 15th, 2016, to the graduating class at Rutgers University, you made a statement that is quite disingenuous. You said, and I quote:  "In fact, by almost every measure, America is better and the world is better than it was 50 years ago or 30 years ago or even eight years ago." Now, I do understand that your worldview and my worldview are vastly different, but let's put that aside for the moment and just examine your statement in a fair and balanced analysis. Just the facts, Mr. President. No spin. I will begin with the Iranian Nuclear Deal that you and your administration negotiated. Just this deal alone has made America and the world much more unsafe and worse off than eight years ago.  By allowing Iran access to billions of dollars and appeasing a nation that has continually called America, "The Great Satan", you have allowed them to funnel that money into continuing their nu
