It was "Patriots Day," how significant was that, was that the reason it was chosen? Income tax? There was some reason the day was chosen, it was not just random. I am becoming of the opinion that it was not just a random act, the day was carefully picked, the occasion was given thought, the location was considered, I think a great deal of thought was expended on deciding the day, like a group decision, calculated.
Was the explosion in Texas just a coincidence? They were storing 1,350 times the amount of ammonium nitrate that should have triggered suspicion. "This facility was known to have chemicals well above the threshold amount to be regulated under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards Act (CFATS), yet DHS did not even know the plant existed until it blew up."
What next, that is one of the diabolic aspects of terrorism, the "anticipation of what is next."
What or who prompted the president to finally use the word? Did it stick in his "craw" when he said it?
Remember Fort Hood? The Department of Defense and federal law enforcement agencies classified the shootings as an act of "workplace violence." They have declined requests from survivors and family members of the slain to categorize it as act of terrorism, or motivated by militant Islamic religious convictions. In November 2011 a group of survivors and family members filed a lawsuit against the government for negligence in preventing the attack, and to force the government to classify the shootings as terrorism."
NO "Purple Hearts" awarded because of that.
There are some words that I try not to use, even though some of them are becoming commonplace, and I don't like to use words that might offend someone .... I think it was the way I was brought up. Honestly, I have not ever heard my Mom use profanity, and I can almost say the same thing about my Dad. In telling a story on one occasion, my Mom told a story ..... when my Dad worked for Blue Shield for a period of time after he retired, he had an assistant, Calvin, who occasionally drove him around to meetings. My Mom went to a meeting with them on one occasion. She commented that when Calvin drove, there were less "bastards" on the highway.................
