As I remember 911, I think of all of the good black American friends who would serve this country so much better than the sitting president. I would have Colin Powell, Bill Cosby, Dr. Chet Corbitt, Larry Hisle, Hortense Bemse Robinson, (the latter three black Portsmouth friends, or any who know what our country is truly about.
Any of these people and many of my white American friends could replace any of the elitist 535, or whatever number close to that, who smack their gums and pick their teeth while helping themselves to the goodies their offices afford them.
John Massey, whom I met through Esperanto, has so much good sense in his little toe than Biden or Obama have in whatever their liberal beings posess.
As an example, I just watched biden's speech at ground zero and I have no idea what he was trying to say. It isn't just that these people can vote, it is that they supposedly "represent" us. The other talking heads mean reverence, but they talk of how it changed us Americans. I am sorry but I disagree. We have fallen back to our own comfortable selves. Blacks will continue to vote 98% Democrat. Liberals will continue to support anything that wins elections. Hollywood actors, who are good only at remembering lines as Ben Stein recently said, will espouse the lib thoughts they share at cocktail parties. That islamic terrorists attacked us again and again is forgotten by these who enjoy the select fruits of our land and hope to keep us, the proletariat or non-thought-able Americans in the dark.
Say whatever you may about me, but please say that I have had enough. We deserve real change in America and 911 should remind us of that.

911 Remembered Matt Jones KSR
Kentucky Sports Radio
University of Kentucky Basketball, Football, and Recruiting news brought to you in the most ridiculous manner possible.

Good morning, my sweet KSR readers, and welcome to the end of your dreadfully long holiday work week. Today, as I’m sure you’re all aware is September 11, 2009 - the eighth anniversary of the terrorist attacks that leveled the Twin Towers, damaged the Pentagon and forever changed the course of American history. For my generation,(Matt Jones ios about 33) this date will forever be engrained in our memory and our hearts as one of the most sudden and shocking moments of our lifetimes. Whether right or wrong, my generation knows Pearl Harbor and D-Day as pages in our history books, while September 11th triggers an unfamiliar feeling of fear and shock - and a moment that still gives me chills to this moment when I think about it. It was the day that life stopped and suddenly our country didn’t seem so invincible. It was the first time that most people in my generation felt that the United States could be a battle ground and that we realized that things would never be the same. For me, this day also puts me right back at the University of Kentucky.
On September 11th, 2001, I had just turned 18 and was about a month into my freshman year at UK. I’ll never forget answering the phone at my Haggin Hall dorm room and hearing the voice of my roommate’s mother, who never called. She told me in a panicked voice to turn on the television, which I did just minutes before I watched the second plane crash into the towers. I’ll never forget the emotions I felt watching NBC that morning, wondering if what I was watching was actually happening, hoping that she had been mistaken and the Bruckheimer-like footage I was seeing was just an elaborate movie ad. I stayed glued to the television before leaving for my class that morning on a silent, zombie-like walk. When I entered the Classroom Building for Dr. DeSantis’ COM 101 class, few students talked and an eerie feeling overtook the room. Dr. DeSantis, who was visibly shaken, gave the class simple instructions. “Go home. Call your parents and tell them that you love them. This is bigger than school,” he said. We left and I arrived back at the dorm just a few minutes before watching one of the towers crumble to the ground. For as long as I live, I’ll never forget what happened that morning.
I’m sure everyone has a similar story about September 11th, 2001 and none of us - regardless of age - will ever forget where we were or the emotions we felt on that day. And that’s what is important. As we get more removed from that tragic day, it’s important to keep the families of those who lost loved ones in the attacks, in the ensuing rescue efforts and in the war that followed in your hearts. One day, my kids will only see 9/11 as a page in their history book and might not fully understand the millions of lives it impacted and the way it changed the course of this country. But, for those of us who have friends and family impacted or felt the overwhelming emotions of that day, we’ll never forget. So, today, say a prayer or do what you do for all of the people who suffered this tragedy eight years ago. And let’s hope we never feel that way again.

Part one Remembering 911 from Acq W-Integrity interviews
This must be considered PART ONE. It is a bigger project than I imagined and the old man in me is tired. Through Dave Garrett in Part one.
Reactions soon after 9-11-2001
From my book:
Acquaintances With Integrity
I, Sam Kegley, have been so fortunate in having extraordinary people, many friends and some merely acquaintances, permit me to interview them and use their stories in my books. George Hyrmer, my sons’ math teacher at Westerville South High School, called me about a year after I had the book published. He said: “Sam, I wanted to share with you what I found while looking over your book once more. The topics you proposed make interesting reading, in and of themselves, and there are several ways one may go about the readings.”
During this time when we Americans are thinking back of the terribly diabolic act of the Islamic terrorists on 9-11, I thought it might be interesting to look at their reactions to the horrific events.
Permit me to do this and please pick and choose or read them all as you wish:
Dan Baird- Government Technician- DSCC
Paula Barrett- Government Technician- DSCC
Dr. Franklin H. Beck- Metallurgical Engineering Prof.
Jim Blanton- Jim Blanton Graphic Design
Sam Bowie- retired UK & Los Angeles Pro Basketball Player
Dr. Jean Branson- Psychologist & Teacher
Bob Buchan- Minister

9-11-2001 Islamic day of celebration of our Horrors
I am so sorry that my computer ineptness keeps me from posting the link to these terrible photos. You may go to google and type in 911 aerial photos.

Thanks Bob Looney!
We saw video of osama bin Laden and his friends celebrating this horrific event he orchistrated. It is inconceivable that America has elected a president who won't even say "islamic terrorists" and dares that we don't. This 911-2001 event is more horrific than Pearl Harbor, December 7, 1941.
I pray that God will bless America and please help us out of our current rock star leadership dilemma.
