I’m sorry but I’m a little confused here. I could swear I saw a Hollywood movie that claimed this flight was brought down by the passengers of Flight 93. Neil Young even wrote a song about it called “Let’s Roll”. Now Dick wants to take the credit? I know he has a book to sell, but does Dick have no sense of decency? I may have to rethink this whole thing.
Your comments?
Thanks to AC and No Agenda
You can be sure that if Dick was on that plane, as the passengers were rushing the cabin he would have been pushing women and children out of the way as he fought to get to the only parachute.
Olo–I’m going to beat your dead horse. You are not “just glad” the Flt 93 passengers acted. That has been a given all thru this thread from start to finish. No one is debating that point.
You made a different point. And you are wrong.
Good liberals should be PROGRESSIVE and recognize their errors, admit it, learn, grow, and come back stronger. Don’t turn Republican in your intransigence. Practice conceding a point when yours is not as good.
Intellect is best when used to learn==not when its used as a door stop.
moebeans–is Dick that proactive? I can see him trying to order someone to steal that parachute for himself, but to actually go out and do anything himself? I don’t know about that. Besides==how effective could he even be in a fight against women and children?
Pukes: they really are all scum.
Olo–sorry, but I saw your horse twitch, but I think it is comment worthy when it comes to understanding our language and thought processes. You say: “# 60 Olo Baggins of Bywater said, on September 13th, 2011 at 4:50 am
I’m just glad those guys on Flight 93 acted.” /// and surely that is not true? You are not “just glad.” when I think about Flt 93, my first reaction is one of sadness that they died as the result of the criminal/terrorist activities of those 4 jihadists. The notion that they are hereos comes second. The notion that they took action comes third. then about fourth comes the notion of the potential harm to even more people that their actions prevented and that makes me happy/glad/proud/respectful.
I am not “just glad.” I know you aren’t either. Just deconstructing the words—its what we think with.
#55, on the bright side, because all the other posters were idiots, bobbo decided to post rationally in response.
Well, of course. Some mornings I’m just not in the mood to explore or write about all those feelings for a blog comment. lol
#64–Well, thank you Mike. At least you can recognize rationality when you aren’t paid otherwise?
#65–Olo==yes, all too true. But there is no exploration if its right on the surface.
We all layer our lives as we please==the more conscious the better?
yea, verily.
Well Dallas,
It musta been the other way around
since it took 20 to get a reply
while knowing well
cheney couldn’t last a second with pedro,
after all he’s another fellow
Liberals need to get their talking points updated.
George Bush and Dick Cheney are now to be recognized as reasonable moderates. It’s the new Republican candidate, whoever it is, that should be attacked as extremist and dumb.

#68–Lyin’ Mike===what you say? You take YOUR talking points from a conservative source reviewing what an alleged liberal things?
Gee Mikey–look up straw man and appeal to authority for the purpose of mocking.
I read half of the first paragraph. One person never speaks for the group he is nominally a part of and attributing words to him is beneath legitimacy. Only idiots buy this tripe.
I am a liberal. This evaluation is what liberals think:
Bush/Cheney were and are monsters in Puke clothing. They were and are not reasonable nor moderate. The only thing I have heard “anyone” say is they aren’t as bad as Perry, Bachman, and other Teabag stooges===and that probably, sadly but probably, is true. The depth of perfidy and ill will of the Teabag Republican Party has no known bottom. Bush may have been just as corrupt and evil “but” he had a desire to be re-elected and then he thought about his place in history, and he wanted Daddy to be Proud of him: all to his moderation of what he really wanted to do.
No such restraints on the current crop of Teabag waste products.
“It’s the new Republican candidate, whoever it is, that should be attacked as extremist and dumb.” /// Not true of Romney and Huntsman. Pretty much true of the rest including Bush and Cheney. Dumb may be the weakest charge and evil has been left out but no one will disagree with extreme.
I don’t know why you don’t accept the reality of what these pukes clearly reveal Mickey? Why do you do that? Soc Sec is a Ponzi Scheme? If you get sick, find charity care?
It is what it is. Careful of those fleas Mickey.
If you would watch more than 1:11 of the interview you would see that he actually says that because of the bravery of the people on the plane that there ended up being no reason to shoot it down. Love him or hate him but do it for the correct reasons, not a very short clip from a longer interview that was obviously taken out of context.
