A thousand suicide bomb "missions" on a single day. Another one thousand deadly bombings accompany those. Where does this happen? Some far-away nation? No, right here in the good ole’ USA.

The arrogance of refusing to acknowledge the dangers that face us, and the audacity of power-grabbing at the expense of properly leading, could ultimately lead to this nightmare.

Though the total of devastated areas reaches 2,000 on a single day, that may be a terrific underestimate. Getting a few thousand terrorists [oops, we used that word] across our largely open borders is no hill for a climber. Given the number of illegal immigrants crossing our borders on a daily, monthly and yearly basis, it is really no stretch to imagine many more than a couple thousand of such explosions going off on a single day.

No, we are not directing those concerns toward hard-working citizens of Mexico who illegally cross our borders in search of work and a better life. That is another issue. But be aware that the terrorist-sponsoring group Hezbollah, based in Lebanon, is presently using those same border crossings to smuggle drugs, people and unknown quantities of the unknown into our country. If an average of ten such people illegally enter our country each day, then some 3,600 enter in just one year. The numbers could be much higher, and those borders have been quite accessible for years. Therefore, it is no stretch of the imagination to say that 20,000 or more terrorists and their would-be accompanists, assisters and sympathizers could be in our country right now, plotting incredible devastation.

Those twenty thousand terrorist operatives, out of the more than ten million illegal immigrants in our country, would not even be considered "statistically significant," if we were just talking numbers, as it would be only two-thousandths of the total. But, we aren’t talking "just" numbers, we are talking terrorists. If 19 of them could do what they did on 9/11, imagine what one thousand times that number could do. There is no "margin of error" in those figures.

Oh, by the way, our government, via the U.N., recently gave the terrorist-sponsoring group Hamas nine hundred million dollars–to be used for "humanitarian" purposes, of course. We not only invite terrorist-sponsoring groups into our country over our porous borders, we finance our own destruction while we are at it. Common sense is so far gone in this country that it can’t even be seen in the rear-view mirror.

On 9/11, the media, our government, and the public went into "overdrive" when four separate attacks occurred in our country, killing almost 3,000 people. Can you imagine the reaction to 2,000 separate bombing attacks on the same day throughout our country, with volumes of more casualties? The two thousand bombings are just the first day of the new world. More will follow, as the authorities are overwhelmed with the destruction and casualties, and the attackers set off still more explosions.

In the panic that results after the first bombings, other terrorist operatives immediately attack America’s "power grid," leaving much of the country in darkness, and possibly extreme heat or cold, depending on the time of year. Hospitals strain to treat the many maimed by such attacks, having to operate on generators that may not be up to the task. Utility systems, including those which furnish fresh water and run our sewer systems, are also disabled or slowed by the power grid attack. Diseases from overflowing and/or untreated sewage and the use of impure water begin to overcome many people.

Computer systems are rendered useless or temporarily unusable due to the same attacks. Communications are at a standstill, as email, cell phones, text messaging, television, radio and even land-line phone systems are all either knocked out or severely hamstrung due to the power grid attacks and related problems. Since TV has since gone digital, most people do not have "battery powered" TVs that will even pick up whatever stations that may be able to broadcast. People cannot communicate from one area to the next, and mountainous levels of panic abound.

Unfortunately, there’s much, much more. The perpetrators of these "man-made disasters" also release poisons into the water systems of cities all across the country. A few hundred of Those-Formerly-Known-as-Terrorists could do an incredible amount of damage with a suitcase each full of biological and chemical weapons. Water systems are rendered inoperable or unsafe in cities and towns all across the USA. Gas supplies run low quickly, since there is little power to pump or move such, and no prospect of changing that shortage.

Germ warfare becomes a horrendous reality. Those who thought we had seen recent pandemics realize that the worst was yet to come, as horrible disease spreads quickly and geometrically. The food chain is targeted as well. Of those who have food, many don’t know if it is safe to eat.

The resulting suffering is overwhelming and unimaginable. Millions disabled by the various attacks, many dead or dying terribly painful deaths, with sickness and disease everywhere.

The U.S. economy, already largely in ruins, suffers more blows when China announces it will no longer finance our national debt, and calls in its many cards. The collapse of the Western world’s economy is imminent.

Panic rules the day. People start running out of food, fresh water, and medical supplies. Unsanitary conditions multiply, as do outbreaks of disease, including deadly sicknesses. The relief organizations that are still left cannot keep pace with the great need of so many. Lines of people stretching over a football-field long are common, seeking food, water and medicine, and reminiscent of the many awaiting help in the days following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. That "three to five days" of food and supplies the government had urged all to have on hand runs out quickly.

Martial law is instituted by the federal government. Life as we know it in the United States of America, home of the free and the brave, is over. Anyone who does not have their own independent means of survival, and protection, is doomed to either the elements, starvation, disease, or the whims of heartless thugs.

Horrendous conduct expands exponentially. People steal from others, maim others without regret, and murder rules the day. Scores of innocent people suffer from the unmerciful treatment of thousands of roving gangs of every description, who rob, rape and kill any desired target in their path.

Those who still have the time and capacity to think upon these things cannot believe what they are witnessing. How could things go into the toilet so quickly and decisively? What in the name of freedom and fairness happened to our world? Anyone thinking too long and hard on these things gets hit over the head by the aforementioned thugs or has a treacherous disease claim them, if starvation does not take them first.

So, what will the Left be doing while all this comes down? Blaming "right-wing extremists"? Expressing surprise that Those-Formerly-Known-as-Terrorists were as bad, or even worse, than "the right" said they were? Somehow rationalizing that, if it weren’t for those "intolerant" evangelical Christians and other conservatives, none of this would have happened? Barking that "it’s all Bush’s fault!"? Who knows what kind of mental gymnastics those on the Left might employ in such trying times. Just be sure that if and when this nightmare takes place, the Left will be looking for scapegoats, and guess who will fit that description? Not members of the ACLU, liberal Democrats, purveyors of leftist websites, or other far-left organizations. No, instead they may be looking for people just like you.

There’s still more. While panic abounds and anarchy rules, and the Left plays the blame game, our enemies become even more emboldened. Since apologetic appeasement has ruled the day in our foreign policy, a terrorist-sponsoring nation somewhere was able to get its dirty hands on a nuclear bomb, or nuclear bombs, plural. That could be terrorist-sponsoring nations, plural. And that is in addition to North Korea’s arsenal. Those nations’ leaders decide it is the opportune time to detonate a nuclear bomb or two or four on or over the United States. While they are at it, they drop a couple on Israel as well, and on London, Paris, Rome, Frankfurt, Tokyo and Madrid for good measure.

The resulting devastation becomes even more unimaginable. Millions more are killed by the blasts or will be from the radiation’s deadly effects. The emergency personnel that are still left intact are now totally overwhelmed, and hospitals cannot handle the increasingly high volumes of the injured, sick and dying, at least of those who are able to reach an open hospital.

In the areas of the United States not devastated by nuclear damage, thousands and thousands of enthused armed terrorists and foreign soldiers begin entering, this time not bothering to use isolated border crossings. They unload tons of additional weaponry and begin attacking whoever and whatever there is left to attack.

At this point, the freedoms of yesterday are indeed gone, tomorrow is something to dread rather than look forward to, and the present is a nightmare of unmerciful suffering and destruction. How did this happen? What happened to our way of life?

But no, you say, the above could never happen, you are being way too extreme, and, besides, Americans always find a way. We truly hope you are right and we are wrong. Yet, we must ask: how sure are you that you are right? Just what do you base that confidence on? Don’t tell us that "God would never let this happen." The Good Lord did not take down the Twin Towers. Godless terrorists did.

May this nightmare never begin. But, as the days pass and the present trends continue, we find more reasons to fear that it will.

–Just days ago, John Ziegler, who has the website howobamagotelected.com and a new documentary, "Media Malpractice," was strong-armed and handcuffed outside the site of an award ceremony honoring Katie Couric. She was getting an award for her Sarah Palin interview–which many, including Ziegler, would label a farce and an advocacy-piece, rather than objective journalism. Ziegler’s "crime"? He was giving away copies of his "Media Malpractice" movie to people going into the awards ceremony, and not attempting to enter the site himself. Oh, by the way, only "invited" journalists were allowed to enter the awards site, i.e., media-types invited by the recipients of the awards! Just imagine how liberal media would howl if a politician receiving an "award" restricted room access to media "invited" by him or her. Yes, arrogance is audacious.

–no longer using terms like "war on terror" or "terrorist acts"–instead, calling terrorist attacks "man-made disasters"! Can you believe that higher ups in our federal government are actually doing that? What is this, Brave New World and Orwellian "newspeak" personified?

–so dare not utter the "T" word–unless, of course, you are referring to the dangerous "right-wing extremists" identified by our new Homeland Security department, including members of the VFW, opponents of abortion, and fans of the "Tea Party" events [see our most recent column, Guess Who the Real Enemy is Now?].

–please make sure the absurdity of the above fully registers, and hopefully spurs you to action: our US government has no problem labeling patriotic Americans as possible "terrorists" but no longer wants to call Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, Hamas and Hezbollah "terrorists"!?! Does anyone have trouble seeing there is something very wrong with this picture?

–an American president "firing" the CEO of one of America’s largest private companies, and also replacing a number of those on the board of directors.

–billions and billions, soon amounting to trillions and trillions, in "bailout" funds, even to banks that did not want such [and, yes, that began prior to the present administration].

–more audacity: as reported yesterday by Fox News, the "top ten" recipients of bailout money [i.e., our tax dollars] have spent over nine million bucks on lobbying costs in just the first quarter of 2009. Gee, we can’t wait to see what the yearly figure will total.

–billions and billions, which will also amount to trillions, in so-called "stimulus package" funds, loaded down with pork-barrel projects and with several items that have little or nothing to do with economic stability and development (a measure largely opposed by Republicans and a few brave "blue dog" Democrats).

–billions of those funds earmarked to go to groups like ACORN, with ACORN being that "non-partisan" group that openly favors liberal Democrats and is under investigation and indictment in several places for allegedly fraudulent voter registrations [e.g., did you know the entire starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys was registered to vote in not only nearby Nevada but also Minnesota? If the Cowboys ever have a Monday Night game on the road versus the Vikings, day before Election Day, they can just stay overnight and vote in Minneapolis the next day–how convenient...somebody pass the word to team owner Jerry Jones].

–that same group, ACORN, being designated by the present administration to "assist" the U. S. Census Bureau in the taking of the next census.

–by the way, the U.S. Census Bureau will now be "housed" within the Obama administration, under the authority of the White House, unlike years past.

–and did we mention that the next [2010] census will be crucial in determining whether certain areas [i.e., "red" states] add congressional seats at the expense of certain other areas [i.e., "blue" states], since population shifts would tend to indicate that such should happen, but given the new developments just referenced, who knows what might happen?

–an American president bowing to a Saudi king, and the audacity of both America’s Big Media in largely not reporting that, and the Obama administration in denying that it happened, despite video showing that it did.

–our President getting much more "chummy" with Chavez and Castro than we think is appropriate, given their respective histories of oppression, dictatorship, and tyranny. What’s next, photo ops with the leaders of Syria, Iran and North Korea?

–a "new day" for advancing and increasing the number of abortions in this country, and throughout the world, so that the supporters of such can have even greater celebrations of the unjust ending of human life, while a number of those supporters categorically oppose the death penalty for heartless, vicious murderers.

–continued opposition to authorizing "drill here, drill now" by those now in control of our government, even though allowing such, with appropriate safeguards, will drive down the cost of oil and reduce our dependence on nations unkind to us to sell us that product [and don’t look now, but gas prices continue to go up, and expect them to continue rising].

–the arrogance of the left, largely comprising those who determine who receives the Nobel Peace Prize, in not awarding same to the Polish nurse, Irene Sendler, who saved 2500 Jewish children from certain death by the Nazis in WWII. This Catholic nurse’s story went unnoticed for years, and she was belatedly nominated for this honor in 2007, but was not selected. Who was? Al Gore. Go figure.

–largely ignoring the constant and growing problems with our porous borders, while drug dealers and Hezbollah run people and more drugs (and Heaven knows what else) across those borders and into our cities and towns.

–an American president "apologizing" to the rest of the world for America’s "arrogance," yet our country happens to be the nation that has freed more people, fed more people, cared for more people, and otherwise assisted more people than any nation in the history of the world, all at a tremendous cost of the loss of life of countless numbers of Americans, and many more who were terribly injured and/or separated from their loved ones for months or years on end, all of whom willingly served (and, in many cases, died) for those they didn’t even know [see also our first column on this site, Who Are the Real Heroes?].

–an expansion of the never-ending national debt to heights never before seen, while the present administration simultaneously claims that the last administration was the irresponsible one, and that the present one will "reduce" that ever-growing debt.

–the audacity of a liberal Big Media that gives the present administration a "free pass" regarding those outlandish claims regarding the national debt, and, come to think of it, gives this administration a "free pass" on most any issue, all with a straight face and no shame, which is the epitome of arrogance.

–the arrogance of the New York Times in killing a story prior to the election, which would have explored the ties between ACORN and candidate Obama and his campaign, and then claiming afterwards [when this came to light], again with a straight face, that the decision had "nothing" to do with "politics."

–the arrogance of liberal Big Media which, alternatively, either ignored, downplayed or ridiculed the many "Tea Party" events which took place on April 15 all across the country, and the dirty "double meaning" (sexual) language used by one of those networks in referring to the Tea Parties and those attending them.

–on that last point, just imagine the outrage of Big Media had Fox News used such language to refer to liberal protesters, or Republican office holders had done so...we would still be hearing about it, with apologies demanded. Yet, arrogant Big Media makes no apologies for its language and conduct, and has no shame whatsoever.

–the audacity of liberal Democrats in Congress who want to reinstate the [un]Fairness Doctrine and/or "localism" as defined by them, either of which will abridge free speech and help silence those opposing their grandiose plans [addressed in an earlier column, "Liberals Killed the Radio Star..."].

–while perhaps not on the scale of many of the above issues, arrogance reared its head even in the Miss USA pageant, as Miss California has been drug through the coals and shunned after honestly stating her personal opposition to gay marriage. Though she should have never been asked that question, since when has favoring gay marriage been a "qualification" for being named Miss USA? Is this the same country we grew up in?

It is truly our hope that all of the above will not morph into national disaster. That our country and our economy will remain free and strong. That the citizens will rise up, peacefully but unmistakably, and say "enough," and in 2010, and 2012, vote the purveyors of the above out of office. While they are at it, the people can continue the decline of the liberal Big Media’s circulation, viewership, and influence, by watching, buying and reading other resources that do not carry the taint of arrogant liberal bias.

We sincerely hope for good things for our country, its people, and our world. We do not harbor ill will toward our political opponents. We believe in the American way, and our system which is the best in the world.

All of that being said, we cannot wear blinders and be eternal optimists, and act as if what is occurring will simply go away by itself, and that the present actions will not have consequences to our health, safety and well-being. Our fear is that things will go so far that the unthinkable occurs, and that a nightmare of instability, terror, and suffering will be unleashed upon our country and this world. If it does, audacious arrogance will be of no help whatsoever.
