Springsteen 9/11 Songs V The Rising

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/brucespringsteen/therising.html


"...
Spirits above and behind me
Faces gone, black eyes burnin' bright
May their precious blood forever bind me
Lord as I stand before your fiery light
..."

They gave...but many Americans don't give a shit.

Springsteen 9/11 Songs IV You're Missing

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/brucespringsteen/youremissing.html


"...Coffee cups on the counter, jackets on the chair
Papers on the doorstep, you're not there
Everything is everything
Everything is everything
But you're missing...

...
Morning is morning, the evening falls I have
Too much room in my bed, too many phone calls
How's everything, everything?
Everything, everything
You're missing, you're missing..."

I can't imagine the feeling of coming home after 9/11 and seeing
everything a loved one had sitting around as was on the morning of 9/11...

Springsteen 9/11 Songs III Paradise

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/brucespringsteen/paradise.html

"Where the river runs to black
I take the schoolbooks from your pack
Plastics, wire and your kiss
The breath of eternity on your lips

In the crowded marketplace
I drift from face to face
I hold my breath and close my eyes
I hold my breath and close my eyes
And I wait for paradise
..."

Eerie...not written by Springsteen, but tells the story from a bombers perspective...?
Expects to find a loved one in paradise, but only finds emptiness...

Sounds like a 'Grand Bargain"...we will see...don't hold yer breath...

Another Republican Whiner: John Walsh

http://www.counterpunch.org/2011/09/15/veterans-for-peace-and-the-call-for-obama%e2%80%99s-impeachment/

"...We do know that when a Democrat, Obama, was elected, the Board of VFP opposed an impeachment resolution in 2009 and 2010 until the rank and file rebellion was successful in 2011...."

This John Walsh clown is a typical stupid republican.  Veterans For Peace oppose war.  They wanted to impeach Bush in 2004...or whomever is president...turns out to be W.  So this Walsh guy says they are partisan because it took 2 years after Obama for VFP to create am Impeach Obama resolution.  W broke Iraq...he could have packed it up and left...you have to give Obama a chance to straighten out (yet another) W mess...  

Springsteen 9/11 Songs II Empty Sky

http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/bruce+springsteen/empty+sky_20025186.html

"...Just an empty impression
In the bed where you used to be..."

And the the piano at the 3rd stanza

"...
Blood on the streets
..."

A great description of the NYC skyline...

Falwell Says Perry is Gutsy for Suggesting Secession

http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/09/falwell-forgives-perry-on-gard.html


"...Falwell also called it "gutsy" for Perry to talk about secession, saying it shows he's real - "a candidate that's willing to say things that a polished politician" might not. "I just thought that was a gutsy thing to say, and I admire him for saying it." He also said that while he would oppose a national DREAM Act, he's not concerned that Perry enacted -- and continues to defend -- instate tuition for children brought to this country illegally. "They have issuse down there that we don't understand, because we're not on the border," he said...."


But, Obama is planning to destroy America?

Springsteen 9/11 Songs...We Failed

http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/brucespringsteen/intothefire.html

Into the Fire:
"...
May your strength give us strength
May your faith give us faith
May your hope give us hope
May your love give us love
..."


As a country, I think we failed to get the "strength" from those who walked
"...up the stairs, into the fire..."
we have no faith in others...we have made hope a punchline, and hate is in the air

It is a damn shame...we suck.

Pat Robertson Endorses Divorce

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-pat-robertson-alzheimers-20110915,0,4921116.story

"I know it sounds cruel, but if he's going to do something, he should divorce her and start all over again, but make sure she has custodial care and somebody looking after her," Robertson said


For better or better...

Has Any Tea Party Rep Condemned the "let him die...yeah" Comment?

Adult Conversation Where?

http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/romney-perry-socialsecurity/2011/09/12/id/410710

When Perry began to talk Social Security, saying he thought a national conversation would be important, Romney zipped in: “We’re having that right now.”
“You’re running for president,” said the former Massachusetts governor.



We always hear it from McConnell and Boehner talk about adult conversation...but they never have it...now that there is an adult in the White House, adult conversation is the buzzword...I was glad Romney threw that in Perry's face...Have the conversation now...in a debate...at least shut Perry up.

Rick Perry Can be Bought?

http://blog.chron.com/rickperry/2011/09/maybe-rick-perry-cant-be-bought-for-5000-but-merck-gave-much-more/


“If you are saying I can be bought for $5,000, I am offended,” Perry said...

I know it was meant as a joke, but if a Democrat said that, Republicans would have a twist on it that would have the right-wing pundits in a tissy with the victimhood card.  He said it in such a smug way, that it was like he was saying among the candidates, that "lobbyests" (lobbiests?) have given him much more than that...It just did not sound presidential...which is what republicans always demand of democrats...

Tea Party Audience Members Want to be on Death Panels

http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2011/09/tea-party-debate-audience-cheered-idea-of-letting-uninsured-patients-die/

Sounds like members of the tea party audience want to be on the death panel...let the 30 year old die! Yeah!!  And to cheer capital punishment?...I am for capital punishment, but even I know to keep silent, especially when it's the suspect Texas capital punishment.   Who are these people?  They used to be considered on the  fringe.  Why are they not chastised on the spot?
