Obama's Right: On the Anniversary of 9-11, Volunteer

And you know that both are good -- individually and collectively, right now in ordinary day-to-day living, and comparatively throughout the course of human history -- you don't worry a single bit about what others think of you.
The ones so preoccupied with what others think of them as an individual or collectively as a nation are either on a major guilt trip themselves or are desirous of roping you into a guilt trip to serve their purposes.
Secondly, TEN EFFEN* YEARS AFTER 9/11 NOW, if you do want to volunteer to do something, write your congressman a letter DEMANDING THAT WE GET THE H-E-L-L OUT OF AFGHANISTAN, IRAQ, AND NOW OBAMA'S LIBYA ALSO. SOONER -- MUCH SOONER -- rather than later.
Hard copy is a drag for members of congress. Phone calls and e-mails can be handled (basically ignored) via automation. Sack after sack after sack of letters are hard to ignore.
Especially if all of them say:
QUIT EFFEN* AROUND IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN, AND LIBYA!
Yeah, sure, if I was Obama and said I was only going to draw down HALF of the number of troops I escalated to in Af-Pak, of course, the absolute last thing I'd want people thinking about this 11 Sept. 2011 is that IT'S BEEN TEN EFFEN* YEARS NOW since first Bush and now Obama has ground our economy into a pulp to keep Saudi Arabia safe in and from the Muslim World. So I'd make with the phony appeal to civic duty, knowing that all my dem-shill sycophants with a by-line in the media (hint, hint, that includes Susan Milligan specifically) would scramble to sing my praises once again, hoping to get noticed by me.
11 Sept. 2011. TEN EFFEN* YEARS!
Ron Paul 2012. Otherwise four more stinking years of the same economy-mashing BS from the likes of Obama or any other republican outside of Paul as president.

Appears there, you also wrote:
"The Liar in Chief and Ms. Hillary Concoct Dangerous Propaganda Hoax to Boost Their Dismal Poll Numbers"
"Bin Laden: No capture, no interrogation, no trial, total disregard for the rule of law upon which this country was founded, no adherence to the Geneva Convention, no dental records, no fingerprints, no safe room, no X rays, no autopsy, and burial at sea in contradiction to Islamic tradition."

I found a lot of innuendo in your comments. Very little substance...

911: George Bush and the Saudis
Sunday, 09.11.11, marks the tenth anniversary of Osama bin Laden‘s horrific attack on the United States. The following facts should be forever seared in your memory:
• Fifteen of the nineteen hijackers were Saudis
• Reliable sources have found that the terrorists were financed, in part, by Sultan bin Abdul Aziz and other members of the Saudi Royal Family
• There had been long term personal, as well as, financial ties between the Bush and (Saudi) bin Laden families
• The Boston Herald ran an expose on the number of Bush Administration officials with investments in Saudi oil, calling it an "obscene conflict of interest."
• Prince Turki, former chief of Saudi Intelligence, was very close to the Bin Laden family. The Bin Ladens were promised the Unocal Afghanistan pipeline construction contract in return for a percentage to the Saudi Royal family.
• GHW Bush and Dick Cheney were business partners in the Carlyle Group with the Bin Laden family during the decade that preceded 911. . The Carlyle Group was a loaded with former Democratic and Republican intelligence and political officials, whose specialty was to act as lobbyists for the Saudi Royal Family. They are suspected of arranging Unocal pipeline construction kickbacks to the Saudi royal family in return for discount oil sales.
• ”The Phantom Flight from Florida.” With US airspace still closed, Bush made an exception and allowed a number of chartered jets with members of the bin Laden family to leave Tampa, New Orleans, Fort Lauderdale, Lexington, Kentucky and elsewhere bound for Saudi Arabia
• When confronted with the FBI evidence that these (Saudis) were receiving 757 and 767 flight simulator training in Phoenix, Vero Beach and Minneapolis. And were planning to crash these fuel laden commercial aircraft into key US buildings…when confronted with this information, George W Bush shut down all three FBI investigations with the following quote:
“The Saudis are our friends, they would never do anything like that to us!”

Any foreign distaste for Americans abroad cannot be exclusively link to foregin policy or private domestic attitudes. If you travel abroad most cultures are as ignorant of other cultures as we like to shame ourselves of being ignorant of others. America's image problems abroad have more to do with the image we export abroad primarily through the means of entertainment. How do I feel as an American to walk through the streets of Brazil to see a giant poster of a molested pie with the title American Pie there? Hollywood is constantly propagating here and abroad demeaning images that tend to insult foreign cultures in the name of humor... these are the images foreigners have of Americans... Americans are benevolent and kind and are constantly helping one another in personal matters as well as foreign needs. But tese things are never affirmed by our leaders or our culture.
