THE PRICE OF REWARDING TERRORISM

You do not defeat terrorism by rewarding terrorists, regardless of how many bleeding heart liberals argue otherwise. Want to know where that flawed approach leads to? Read UNIONISM DECAYED 1997-2007 - It's my first book and it explains what happens when you seeek to appease terrorists and call it peace. It's available right now for ATW readers so make sure you get your copy by emailing the editor! This is the book that dissents from the herd mentality that doing wrong can lead to being right. It doesn't and this book spells out WHY.

THE DAY THAT THE RAIN CAME DOWN...

DateSaturday, August 16, 2008 at 10:45PM
Phew - what a wet day. It was raining heavily when I arose at 6am this morning and it never stopped until late this evening. There has been extensive flooding across Northern Ireland, I attach an image of the main motorway into Belfast - submerged under 20 feet of water! At ATW central we watched the waters outside rise and rise as our drainage system was gradually overwhelmed. Our main drive was turned into a river as water surged along it and the most concerning moment was when the water lapped up against my  garage door but thankfully did not penetrate the rubber seal. Since I live in the country there was no help, not that much could have been done. A few hours ago the pulsating weather system that caused all this misery finally passed over us and now normality is returning, although many families will not have been as fortunate as mine and water will have caused interior damage.  The power of nature, my friends, is awesome to behold.

There was a clap of thunder around 3pm here in Dublin that set off 3 car alarms and 1 house alarm next to my place

I am hoping to see that you all are drying out over there. What a mess. Being born and raised in Denver - where motorists take cover under bridges during downpours that last mere minutes - I have had a time of it getting used to the rain here in PA. It will rain constantly for days on end here. Amazing to see so much water...
