Recently Megyn Kelly had Todd Beamer’s father, David, on her show to talk about the heroism that Todd and his fellow passengers showed aboard flight United 93 by refusing to succumb to a fate they did not determine. What they did do was to decide to make their own fate by denying the terrorists their want, which was to hit, most likely, the U.S. Capitol, by banding together to fight them and commandeer the plane. They knew regardless of their decisions, they were all going to die, but thanks to folks like Todd Beamer, Mark Bingham, Jeremy Glick and others, they did what needed to be done – they made sure to deny the Islamofascists their intended target, knowing they would all die in the process, as the plane descended at over 500 MPH into that field in Shanksville, PA. They were truly the first American fighers to engage in the battle in the global war on terror against Islamo-fascists and will always be remembered as such.
Note: You hear David Beamer talk about saying the Pledge of Allegiance and it sounds a bit disconnected, but his appearance on America Live came directly after Megyn’s previous segment on the Brookline MA controvery over elementary school children saying the Pledge of Allegiance.

This picture should tell you everything you need to know.

Michelle Malkin has great coverage here, as does The Jawa Report, Reuters, the Telegraph, and many others around the web.
Someone in one of the foreign newspapers said Norway has “lost its innocence.” I’ve got news for you, sir…as long as radical Islam is on the march, no country can claim innocence any longer. It’s time to stop the P.C. crap and start fighting this war like we mean it.
***UPDATE 07/22/11 2349 HRS ET***
It appears this may not have been related to Islamic-extremism, but perhaps a “lone wolf” type scenario. I will not apologize for my initial reaction due to all the events and actions that surrounded this tragedy, coupled with the empiric evidence out there about the majority of terrorist attacks – especially bombings. Even though officials have dismissed this possibility in part, I am still not convinced it was NOT a Nordic man who is an Islamic convert. Only time will tell.
***UPDATE 07/232/11 1641 HRS ET***
Well, so far it appears that this was just a lone wolf, but sources say there was possibly a second shooter on the island. This was really my thinking, too, because now the death toll is over 80. Plus, the shootings WITH the VBIED bombs seem just impossible for one person to pull off. I am still waiting for all the details to come out, but I am willing to say right here and now that I might have been wrong in my original post. As some are saying, this appears to be Oslo’s “Oklahoma City.” As someone who lived in Oklahoma City on April 15, 1995, I know all about that, and truthfully when I first saw the pictures of the buildings in Oslo, that was exactly what I thought of.
Having said this, I still say there is no room for P.C. crap anymore. Regardless of these lone wolf type situations.
Bill O’Reilly called in to Fox New’s “Happening Now” to respond to the story of NPR’s firing of Juan Williams. There’s a firestorm coming, and Bill is only one of many who are chomping at the bit to right this wrong.
Folks, this story is only going to get bigger. There are a LOT of folks who have a lot to say about this, and it’s going to get ugly (for NPR, that is). Seriously, folks. All hell is going to break loose on this one. NPR needs to be DEFUNDED NOW! Stay tuned.
