Democrats, Terrorism and 1979.

In the following is a list if attacks against the people of the United States home and abroad.

The concept that the act of terrorism began September 11, 2001 is in fact wrong and misleading.

The hate for the United States began long before that dreadful day.

it makes no difference whether you feel 9/11 was a inside job or not the fact remains The United States was assaulted and men and women lost their lives and children lost loved ones.

The thought that we would be attacked by cowards.

Those responsible know who they are as well as the LORD.

The assault on the United States began in 1979 under the Jimmy Carter administration who was in fact a democrat and who continues to represent the spineless anti American movement.

I am sick of polititions who are on the world stage disrespecting the contry they live in; disrespecting the very people that put these people in the positions they were or are in and worse of all is the utter contempt that the liberalprogressivecrats have for the United States military

Former president Carter allowed terrorist to attack our Embassy and we have had to continue this fight since.

As President he was to defend our people but for years US men and women were held hostage and the Carter administration did nothing.
