This tragedy couldn'tve have been planned better... An act of war (and make no mistake, it was and may still be an act of war) has been perpetrated by parties unknown at targets that shake the country's very foundation, and we can think of nothing better than to take sides against ourselves and debate semantics... No wonder we're under attack, Hell, I'd bomb me too...
We've become a country of spoiled brats whose parents have given us free reign of the world, it's time to become men and women. If this horror was visited upon your doorstep, what would you do? Because it has and we have done what spoiled children do. Bicker and bitch at our parents to take care of it. This is our country, By God, I won't stand for it and anyone who would isn't welcome to darken my doorway, because I don't consort with cowards and people of low character. You've abused your constitutional rights long enough, it's time to earn them. Do what you can, be it blood donations, volunteering, even enlisting... Do what you can, and quit yer bitchin'. You've outgrown your mother's teet, time to act like big boys and girls now.

P.S. And please say a prayer for the families who've lost someone in this tragedy, it breaks me in two that I lived to see a thing like this happen in my lifetime. I really could've lived without seeing an actual war take place, but I'll be damned if I won't fight to protect my people from a repeat of this atrocity.
