Father of 9/11 Victim Fights to Have 'Murdered by Muslim Terrorists' Inscribed on Son's Memorial - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News - FOXNews.com

The title of this post is a link to a Fox News article.  Read through it before you read my synopsis. I will have to side with the town on this one.  Such an inscription would be divisive and misunderstood by anyone who has not studied Islam with an open mind. It would be accurate and yet horrendously false to have the inscription "Muslim Terrorists" on that plaque. The terrorists were, indeed, professed Muslims, but the one scripture from the Koran that they support their actions with is actually not supportive of their stance.  They, and the media, deliberately misunderstand it to mean that Muslims are to wipe out any unbelievers, when in reality Muslims are compassionate people who have respect for Jesus Christ and, when they hear his story, even Joseph Smith.  They recognize that other people and faiths receive truths through their own prophets. The father is more correct than he knows when he says " they refuse to acknowledge that it was their people who ...

Who is John Galt?

For those of you who know what I am referring to, you may find some of these following posts interesting.  For those who do not understand, read the first post (Are you Going John Galt? [update 2]). By the way, I came across all this because I was searching for a visual portrayal of Henry Rearden.  The first picture I saw was exactly what I wanted and catches the essence of that man.  It is in the first and second posts listed.  It is titled "First Heat," referring to the first pouring of Mr. Rearden's "new steel."

Ousted Honduran President

This has finally irked me enough that I will make my view clear.  First the facts: President José Manuel Zelaya was arrested in a military coup on June 28, 2009.  The military entered the presidential palace, disarmed the presidential guard, and arrested Mr. Zelaya.  He was then flown to Costa Rica in a military plane. This was the culmination of tensions between Pres. Zelaya and the Congress and Supreme Court.  Mr. Zelaya was trying to get a referendum passed that would allow multiple term limits for the president.  The Supreme Court, however, declared the referendum unconstitutional and the Congress followed suit.  Zelaya kept pushing for the referendum and even ordered the military to help.  After the military refused, Zelaya fired the armed forces commander, Gen. Romeo Vásquez.  But the Supreme Court declared this act unconstitutional and reinstated Gen. Vásquez. Sunday was supposed to be the day when Zelaya pushed his referendum throug...

Poemsinger

As far as the contributor Poemsinge r is concerned, this should set most questions at rest. Poemsinger is me, Tyler.  I connected that alias to this blog in case I ever needed a release from writing as myself.  This may not make sense but Poemsinger has a different persona in my mind. (I am not bipolar or schizophrenic, I'm just weird.)  Poemsinger will also publish any poems that I feel like sharing. Not too exciting, is it?  It's just me.
