Last night while posting I was an ass. I was abusive, disrespectful, and in at least one instance, insulting. My promise to myself to be a positive contributor to these boards was broken last night. No excuses are offered, as such behavior is inexcusable. I hope any member who was offended by my remarks will accept my sincere apology for my thoughtless behavior. Sincerely, RAF

We're all very emotional right now as we represent the strength of this country. We're all gun owners, ex-military, current military, shooters, and patriots. We are representative of the good in this country and it's strength. Many of us need to control the anger and hate within and point it in the right direction, we need to think before we speak and act to defend the innocent in our neighborhoods who are suffering now. We must be strong for our country, we must be strong for our families, we must be strong for ourselves. I have the utmost respect for many of you here and I think we've all learned a LOT about each other through this horrible turn of events. All in all I would go into combat with just about anyone here. -- GB

I haven't had the time to check my email and will be out of the office for the next hour or two at a client meeting. I should be home afterwards and perhaps out of work tomorrow to continue my support for this incident. -- GB

As I write this I am watching CBS news interviewing another ex-Clinton regime member, SecDef Cohen droan on and on causing me to grind my teeth. This morning, Paul Harvey stated on his radio show that Clinton at one time had the exact whereabouts of Ben Ladin, but for no explainable reason refused to give the go-ahead to take him out. I've not seen anyone remark on it on any tv news network yet. I've seen all the former Clinton people, many who were out of the country in the UK and other places, giving the media their "EXPERTISE" and getting sicker and sicker. When I saw Madeline Albright I immediately changed the channel. I saw Powell calmy chat about the "episode" in New York, wondering if it was a taped session from months ago, his emotions where so flat and matter of fact. Today I heard he talked down the use of the word "War". Katey Kurick gave Laura Bush a hard time this morning, Peter Jennings and Tom Brokaw all but insinuated Bush was a coward for flying around on AirForce 1 in the midst of all this. Friends and cousins missing in NY in the midst of all this. Even members of this board may be down. Yes, I'm upset, and yes, I've been saying some really nasty things. I apologize for any personal insults and insinuations I've made on this board too. I am in desperate need to focus my anger. I wonder why our leaders haven't talked more of the absolute hell we are going to unleash on these people. My little daughter's best friend in school is an Ethiopian Moslem, and I've talked to her about how not all Moslems are bad, and neither she nor her family have done anything. My daughter has a heart of gold and would not think any bad thoughts towards anyone. I never want to change that in her. But me, as I drive my girls to school, and I see the Islamic men and women waiting for buses to take them to work, I can't help but give second looks. And I will be watching them.
