            <text>The difference started to grip me with my first steps onto the NJ Transit.  Like a boa suffocating its prey, slowly, systematically, terminally.  Will I die today?  Will someone I love die?  How many times did I ask myself that in Hawaii?  Zero, to be exact.
And you can see it weave its infected fabric into everyone's clouded head.  And I mean every single one.  If I go into Staples, will I die?  If I take a subway to Penn Station, will I die?  Will I die in Penn Station?  If I drink tap water, will I die?  Will I die if I run in Central Park?  Or take a taxi or car home?
There are those that justify or rationalize this by empathizing with the every day fears rampant in the Middle East and other places.  Twisted.  Now we know how they feel?  So what!  We did not invite this guest into our lives, he barged in.  We have nothing to gain from this but preservation.  Why?  For land?  No.  Money.  Probably, but the hypocrits would not admit it.  For power?  Unclear how that would transpire.  For fame?  He had it.  To kill just for the sake of killing?  Apparently.
Make no mistake nor qualms, certain freedoms evaporated with those buildings.  US liberty has been devirginized by a rapist so vile that he will happily repeat the act for his audience.  But where, when, how?  And will I die?
It is time to defend.  And defend violently.  We Americans must be willing to pursue victory at all costs, and to expend every possible resource in this pursuit.  No mission has ever been more critical, nor, I believe, will prove to be more demanding.  I am ready to board that train tomorrow, are you?  I hope we all are so that we may provide for our children the blessing of unblemished freedom we all once bathed in...
