"A Real Hero vs. a Pseudo-Intellectual!"

Yesterday was the anniversary of the cowardly terrorist attacks of 9-11. Everywhere you looked were ceremonies and flags flying in remembrance of this crime against America. We spoke about it in church, we heard about it at the start of all the football games, we had news coverage of it on all the cable channels; America continues to be moved and angered by this heinous action.

In New York, at the site of the towers, President Obama and the First Lady were present, as were former President Bush and his wife Laura. Oddly, New York Mayor Bloomberg didn't want clergy or first responders at this ceremony, especially since they were the first ones there when this disaster took place. Political correctness is idiocy, Mr. Mayor!

When former President Bush took the podium, you know, the man who has been castigated by the media for years; he was greeted with cheers and applause by the crowd in attendance. This fine man quoted a letter from Abraham Lincoln as he addressed the crowd; it was subdued and appropriate for the occasion; he is still "presidential".

Paul Krugman, a leftist columnist for the New York Times, wrote a blog condemning George Bush and Rudy Giuliani as "fake heroes". It was the usual leftist ranting about the war in Iraq and Bush's wish to destroy Saddam Hussein. Krugman is a Nobel Prize winner in economics. He is a professor at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (very appropriate); he has a B.A. from Yale and a P.H.D. from M.I.T. He was born in 1953, and my guess is he was a "hippie leftist" during the Viet Nam War; he has no military background in his records. He refused comment on his blog; could he have been afraid of what those comments could have been?

The New York Times used to be the standard for printed news all over the world; sadly, they have a diminishing readership and little influence in the real world outside of the left-wing loons. I believe history will have a much different verdict of George W. Bush than our current leftist pundits profess. I thank God we had a strong man in the White House on 9-11; I can't imagine what would have happened had Jimmy Carter been sitting in the Oval Office on that fateful day.

Regardless what that hateful Paul Krugman may say, America knows how fortunate we were to have a man who behaved like a hero in the White House on September 11, 2001!!
