Michelle Malkin is angry about what will happen today, the day after the commemorations.

You know who he means:
James Lileks writes of certain kinds of people:

They can talk for hours about how wrong it was to kill babies, busboys, businessmen, receptionists, janitors, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers - and then they lean towards you, eyes wide, and they say the fatal word:

But.

And then you realize that the eulogy is just a preface. All that concern for the dead is nothing more than the knuckle-cracking of an organist who’s going to play an E minor chord until we all agree we had it coming.
Listen: there is no "but!" The people in New York, Arlington, Va. and Shawshank, Penn., did not have it coming! You hear me, Noam Chomsky? You hear me, Jerry Falwell? The attacks were evil and nothing but evil. End of analysis.

Quote of the day: "If it doesn't matter what you believe, then what you believe won't matter." Dr. George Grant

The American: gun-toting, flag waving, freedom-loving. Criticized as "reckless." Saves world occasionally. Low tolerance for diplomats and intelligentsia, prefers justice.

Perseverance
Austin Bay explains why it is more necessary than ever. Also The Weekly Standard has published a very favorable review of Austin's latest novel, The Wrong Side of Brightness. So buy it.
