9-11 Reading list
This post is one of the Tunnel Wall's most accessed, especially at this time. But here is the new post from 2014: World reaction to 9/11 . Mr. Obama should be aware of how the Brits stuck by us as evidenced by what they did on Sept 12th at the Buckingham Palace changing of the guard, shown in here. TD
Remember the 9/11 Jihad Terror Attacks, "Theodore Roosevelt offered this historical perspective in 1916 on the consequences for Western civilization of succeeding, or failing to repel jihad conquerors:"....
"Does twenty-first-century America possess Whittaker Chambers's moral compass and fortitude to combat the modern scourge of ancient Islamic totalitarianism?"
Today is Sept. 11—the 11th anniversary of the second-greatest intelligence failure in American history "U.S. intelligence officers took seriously their responsibility to prevent a subsequent attack by every legal means at their disposal, and so far they've succeeded. As thanks, they've been accused of being a caste of 21st century Torquemadas by much of the media, and put in legal jeopardy by their own Justice Department." (i.e. Democrats)
The NY Times blames President Bush., Muslim clerics and academics across the Arab world blame Israel, US Jews
Reaction in the Muslim world

Neal Boortz remarks that This PC treatment of Islamic violence is completely asinine.
"When to let up? When all of the facets of the religion of Islam step forward to strongly condemn Islamic extremism and the Muslim penchant for killing people who don’t worship as they do. Sorry – but I have a hard time mustering up any real respect for a religion that will condone stoning a woman to death because she was raped, or forbidding women from getting an education."

Tunnel Dweller's youngest son who once worked for Bethlehem Steel and US Steel was quite, shall we say?...skeptical.While saying she didn’t know what to believe about the U.S. government’s involvement in the attacks of Sept. 11, she said, “I do believe that it’s the first time in history that fire has ever melted steel. I do believe that it defies physics that World Trade Center tower 7—building 7, which collapsed in on itself—it is impossible for a building to fall the way it fell without explosives being involved. World Trade Center 7. World Trade [Center] 1 and 2 got hit by planes—7, miraculously, the first time in history, steel was melted by fire. It is physically impossible.”

Reading list on the Democrat convention
Neal Boortz says, Y'all Need to Cheer Me Up "But I did try to read [Obama's] speech. It was agonizing. Excuses and promises. Nothing more. Golly, this has been hard, but I promise to do better, though I can’t tell you how that’s going to happen.
"It didn’t take but about 10 paragraphs of Obama’s speech before the glaring hypocrisy started to shine through."...
Democratic platform abandons pro-Israel positions on borders, refugees, Hamas "The Democratic convention in Charlotte, N.C., adopted a platform that turns its back on three Israeli existential imperatives - on dealing with Palestinian terrorism, on achieving secure and recognized borders, and on preventing a flood of Palestinians from swamping the Jewish state."
This is not Harry Truman's Democrat Party.
Ten Things I Learned From the Democrat Convention "A lot of breath was expended at the DNC appealing to young people, my generation, the Millennials -- the same lamentable group about to inherit more than $200 trillion in total unpaid debts. No self-respecting young person can vote for a party that stubbornly, categorically refuses to acknowledge the coming tidal wave.
"But, of course, many of them will. They always do."
The Charlatans of Charlotte "The lies told about Ryan and Medicare were alone enough to disqualify the Dems for re-election."
Michael Barone; Magic of 2008 Eludes Obama After Flat Convention "The delegates roared again and again at endorsements of access to contraceptives (actually, free contraceptives), same-sex marriage and non-deportation of young illegal immigrants who meet certain conditions. Requiring picture identification at the polls was described as similar to beating up blacks trying to vote 50 years ago."
Jay Cost; Did Obama Really Win the Summer? "For starters, when we are talking about historical perspective, really the only poll that has been in constant, regular operation is the Gallup poll, where Romney and Obama were basically trading leads for months prior to the convention."

(Updated) For Parents to Teach Their Children That God Created the Earth Is Tantamount to Child Abuse
Lets see if Mr. Nye explains how evolution can design a microscopic motor complete with bearings, rotor and stator
"But the bottom line is that modern Darwinian theory -- as classically understood -- has come no where close to explaining the origin of this remarkably complex and sophisticated motor engine. "
Hat tip to Tom Wright; Richardson, Texas, who is the source of the graphic illustrations below that compare the electric motor with the flagellum that propels "simple" bacteria.
The electric motor is the product of thousands of years of accumulated human knowledge; the flagellum is the product of knowledge and skill that was present at creation.
I suppose my saying all this could be a felony before long. The Tunnel Dweller.
Man-made electric motor:
Motor - that was A) installed at creation or B) just evolved by itself - that propels bacteria:

This Mark Steyn column is highly related, regrettably; A Nation of Sandra Flukes "For one thing, it’s a striking feature of the Age of Perfected Liberalism that modern liberals talk about sex 24/7 while simultaneously giving off the persistent whiff that the whole thing’s a bit of a chore. Hence, the need for government subsidy. And, in fairness to Miss Montez, she used sex to argue for liberalized government, whereas Miss Fluke uses liberalism to argue for sexualized government."
Now that the U.S. Is an Islamic State…
"A bipartisan group of six senators recently wrote to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, asking that he free Rimsha Masih, the eleven-year-old girl who was being held on blasphemy charges and is still under serious threat of mob violence and resumed prosecution even though she has been released on bail. The letter is a welcome indication that the world is finally noticing Pakistan’s blasphemy laws — but working at cross purposes with those who are trying to get Pakistan to scrap these laws is none other than Barack Obama, who is now doing nothing less than effectively enforcing them upon the U.S. military. The senators wrote to the wrong President."
God and the Democrats
"Clearly the Democrats were embarrassed, but it doesn't really matter. Do you think God is impressed by a political platform that includes abortion-on-demand and same-sex marriage, not to mention debt as far as the eye can see? Not having God in this platform would have been fine with me."

Cartoonists sum up the DNC
Rain of Error "What a week it's been for the Democratic Convention. The "War on Women" party staged a salute to Teddy "Ladykiller" Kennedy, then put a serial abuser of women (and likely rapist) named Bill Clinton onstage. So delightfully wonderful was Clinton's speech that a rhapsodic Chris Matthews gushed that if the former president were somehow transported to Mars (we like the idea so far...) that he'd know how to have sex with the Martians."
Alan Caruba; Maureen Dowd Falls Out of Love

| Dowd ("MoDo") |
.... " Despite her liberal credentials, she is far less easily duped than most.
...."“In his renomination acceptance speech here on Thursday night, he told us that America’s problems were tougher to solve than he had originally thought. And that’s why he has kindly agreed to give us more time. Because, after all, it’s our fault.”
"Dowd picked up on a theme of Obama’s speech that was missed by just about every other political pundit I heard or read in the days since." (Emphasis added)
Dowd's NY Times article here. "It’s depressing to look back and remember what soaring hopes we had for ourselves only four years ago. Did we overdo it with the Greek columns? Sheesh, a million people showed up for our inauguration. Now we brag when we break 10,000."Mentioning Wall Street columnist Kimberly Strassel, Caruba writes: "her related column was not one of disappointment, but rather a sharp analysis of the destruction Obama has brought upon the Democratic Party that just nominated him for a second term." Read on:
Strassel: The Party that Obama Un-Built"It took Mr. Obama two years to destroy this potential, with an agenda that forced his party to field vote after debilitating vote—stimulus, ObamaCare, spending, climate change. The public backlash, combined with the president's mismanagement of the economy, has reversed Democrats' electoral gains and left a party smaller than at any time since the mid-1990s."
