Anyone else angrier RIGHT NOW then you were during 9/11?

[Happyhippychick]

That would be me! Boehner has the votes to end this lunacy and he won't.call.the.vote.

I am frothing at the mouth.

I live and work in DC. I am a therapist. Half of my clients work for the government and one after the other is calling to say they can't come in because they can't afford it. I am seeing them anyway, I have told them "pay me if you can, or don't, just come in because we are all in this together."

It sounds charitable and good but the truth is, besides the fact that I do want to help, I have nothing better to do with the time anyway so I may as well help!

1. you're a good person.

Thanks for caring, and you're right, we are all in this together.

As for being angry, I think it's more a sense of foreboding than anger for me. I am watching what I believe is a systematic destruction of this country by the enemy within, and I'm not sure it can be stopped at this point.

2. Yes, I'm pissed! These republicants have done what Osama Bin-Laden couldn't!

They have stopped our government in it's tracks......mostly just to prove that they could!

These republicans have become the domestic enemy that I, and every other soldier, took an oath to defend this country against!

3. I love you.

17. Me, too. You just got in my good books. You 'get it.' But I didn't get angry at 9/11.

Most likely, because I was on the other coast, but I was in a state of shock. Not even fear, but tears for what the people over there were going through. My only anger was when I saw people jumping out of the building to escape burning to death. I kept saying, 'they are leaving the place they should have been safe,' over and over. I was outraged at that.

I didn't even want to invade anyone, just do a 'police action' thing. I watched the second plane hit, thought the first was pilot error. Then could not take my eyes off the scenes of the first responders going in again and again to get survivors but did not see them. I could not stop watching until they gave up with every time they came out and no survivors, I cried. I used to work in big buildings like that, and know how much work goes into making them, so it hit home for me. I kept hoping.

I could not look at anything related to it for some years. This however, is not an isolated attack, which was the end for so many and those still hurting, and it will never end for them. If the GOP keep this up, it's the end of the USA itself.

What a foreign enemy could not do, they will have done. I feel not only helpless this time, too, but as if I am witnessing a mass murder by those who relish it as much as anyone who throws a bomb or guns people down.

Thank you for what you're doing for the people there. It's heartbreaking.

8. Yes. This is self-inflicted by people who claim the mantle of patriotism.

9/11 resulted from a complex sequence of international events combined with an incompetent White House / intelligence regime. The people behind it were blatantly honest in their "Death to America" aims.

What I was most pissed about on 9/11 was the Bush administration's incompetence in allowing it to happen.

The current situation isn't a result of incompetence (unless you count the voters who let teahadists into Congress in the first place). It is deliberate and calculated destruction of this country.

9. It's a different kind of anger

The anger on 9/11 was more sharp - but it was directed against Al-Qaeda. That said, watching $3,000 die in an act of terrorism did make me want to get revenge.

There's more of a sense of betrayal with this event; watching this mess and knowing that our elected representatives and maybe as much as 1/3 of the nation supports this nonsense - lives in this deceitful fantasy world.

12. Yes.

I am livid.

[edbermac]

13. I was angry on 9/11 and angrier when the neocons blamed Clinton for it.

Instead of the AWOL drunken frat boy.

14. Good for you, Happyhippychick.

You appear to be someone who has found her true vocation.

15. My 9-11 anger is still palpable in my mouth

Because the World never convened a Nuremberg Style War Crimes Trial for THE ENTIRE GEORGE W BUSH WHITE HOUSE.

They lied to get into a war that had no other rational other than the Strangelovian philosophies of those Wolfowitz, Cheney's and Rumsfelds, et al.

To quote Wolfowitz, AT THE TIME. Well, we chose WMD's because it was the only thing we could all agree on.

C'mon. Most parents wouldn't let a 5th grader get away with that kind of logic.

Shouldn't we have evolved enough to be universally revolted and intolerant of war? Well, we the people sure as hell are. It's these psychopath leaders that think and act as brutes, monsters, animals that have to be exterminated. Life in jail with no possibility of parole kind of extermination. I'd even spare them decades of solitary confinement, even though that is commonly practiced in their prison system. I'm compassionate.

16. I was more hurt than angry after 9-11

So yeah. I'm way more angrier now.

[HappyMe]

18. I was shocked on 9/11.

I'm not super angry now. The repubs are having a tantrum. Me being angry won't stop their tantrum.
