Beautiful, Debbie. There were tears in my eyes. A worrisome thing about “The Star Spangled Banner” is how few AMERICANS know the story of the song, know how Francis Scott Key stood all night, on the British warship, watched the shelling of Fort McHenry and wrote the song in joy and gratitude next morning, when he saw that the flag was still flying and knew Fort McHenry hadn’t surrendered.

Debbie, I assume it’s a good/great video, but if I dare watch the video and see these koran-thumping motherf**king (pardon my english DS, I don’t mean to be disrespectful on your blog) islamists celebrate the death of 3,000 of our countrymen/countrywomen, I am going to smash up and break my computer and start saying words I regret saying and feel like hitting someone real hard! As I said, I assume the video is great and very patriotic towards this country in general.

Debbie, you are a hateful woman. My family and my husband also suffered in the war and it did not make us hateful people. We have learned not to forget, but to forget and move on. You should do the same and so should America.

We in Europe see America as the land of opportunities. Guess that doesn’t count if you are a Muslim. Does the fact that one stupid Palestinian woman cheers for these attacks make all Muslims bad people? That is verry stupid reasoning.

Dhimmi-Simone, you are one ignorant and foolish lady, are you friggin saying that we should forget about the 9/11/01 attacks and NOT name who attacked us? You are more stupid than I can imagine, fact is Simone is that after the attacks against us that day, majority of muslims worldwide celebrated that we were snuck attacked, this is a FACT, it’s not me being hateful.

And as I said on another thread, DS is NOT a hateful you schmuck, she is exposing and investigating the reality of islam and what represents, this is reality dhimmi-Simone. Debbie is a brave, tough and intelligent woman, that’s why over a decade ago she went into a mosque in her area (Detroit, MI) dressed as a muslim lady and she exposed all of the hateful and vile rhetoric that was spewed in that mosque and she wrote numerous articles in the local newspapers in her area and on this blog. What have you done dhimmi-Simone? You’ve had you’re head in the sand, living in denial and living in you’re own ivory tower world and making believe that evil doesn’t exist. Dhimmi-Simone, since your a grown woman, to me you’re kinda like a little child and not seeing reality for what it is. WAKE THE HELL UP woman!

Ok dhimmi-Simone, I am calling you out right now to face the music and face reality, instead of attacking and belittling the messenger. Are you aware of all of the atrocities that occurs in islam? Let us start off with honor killings, beheading infidels (non muslims folks), waging a holy war upon infidels (jihad BTW), referring jewish people as pigs (it’s written in the koran if you didn’t know), stoning women to death if their caught having affairs with another man, throwing acid into faces of women, polygamy, intimidation, etc. And since you’re apologizing for all of these vile stuff, you need to be called out dhimmi-Simone, and NO I will NEVER forget what happend to us 10 years ago today. And also dhimmi-Simone, when you type your ignorant message again (I doubt you’ll comeback here again, because you did a hit-and-run with the tail between you’re legs and I also called you out as well) don’t “throw stones at glass-houses”! That’s what you did by belittling Debbie for no damn reason.

Simone, you are a complete fool, living in a world of self-delusion. When socialist Spain was attacked by Islamo-nazis, was it because Spain had offendedthe Palestinians? What of the British terror attacks?

You’re so full of hate and self-loathing and your bleat is so devoid of specifics that it makes no sense.

You really should get therapy for the kind of poison that flows in your veins.

Debbie, just wanted to say THANK YOU for all that you have done. With people like you in America. It makes me feel optimistic about America’s future.

THAT is the way our national anthem should be sung – with reverence. I am so sick and tired of all the vocal doodling and vocal gymnastics so many singers do when they sing our anthem (a la Mariah Carey and Christina Aguillera).

Great video and music. Debbie, my condolences on the loss of your cousin. So many wonderful souls lost because of evil…

CJ on September 12, 2011 at 2:08 pm

Debbie, you continue to amaze me with this blog. From one concerned citizen to another, THANK YOU for all you do! I’ve tweeted this out, as I am sure many have. It’s simply beautiful, I still have tears in my eyes!

We need Saudi oil so quit your whinning

joey on September 14, 2011 at 6:37 am

Joey, stick to the topic and try being relevant for once man. This has NOTHING to do with “Saudi-oil”, this topic has to do with the 10 anniversary of the 9/11/01 Islamic terrorist attacks on our soil. But then again, self-hating dhimmi Americans like you want us to be dependent on foreign oil.
