As the horrors of NewTown and now Boston Marathon begin to sink in:

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

I want Liberal progressive democrat machine operatives to remember that dead and dismembered children are a part of terrorism world wide.

The Middle East especially Israel, has, over time, had to suffer through more terrorist homicide bombings than any other place on earth. For years the explosion and concussion of a palestinian suicide bomber vaporizing themselves in downtown Tel Aviv became an almost daily ritual. To what end?

Israel remains, Jordan remains, Iran remains, Syria, Lebanon they all are still at each others throats . . . . . the political landscape remains the same. The STAKES grow higher, we're now talking nuclear bombs.

`

The bombs were not the answer . . . . . but . . . . . maybe in America . . . . . maybe if we (the terrorists) maim, murder, and dismember enough Americans we can change the world . . . .

`

Mankind hasn't advanced much since the middle ages, has it? Maybe that's not back far enough, Mankind hasn't advanced much since Jesus Christ was terrorized, maimed, and then nailed to a cross to die, "crucified dead and buried" as the bible reminds us, of the inhumanity of man to men.

`

And we complain of too much work, not enough off time. We complain of schools too strict to allow for the right amount of personal growth and rules which limit our self esteem. We complain because our government can't supply us with everything and our leaders promise the moon and a rocket that will deliver it.

`

Our congress . . . . . our congress . . . . they struggle to work in the free air and sunshine. They would rather create law behind closed doors and LIE to We the People about their REAL intent.

. We have a man in OUR White House who has closed his personal history to the world. We the People look at him and wonder who he is and where did he come from. He changed his name, can we really be sure of ANYTHING he says or does.

`

And now come the "DRONES" . . . .  spy drones at first . . . . . then the more lethal kind, the kind that can end your life.

`

ARE WE THERE YET???

`

Is this eternity? Is this the ecstacy? Is this the LOVE of the universe that all the professors told us about euphoria, nirvana, enlightenment???

`

 If we're there and this IS it, I'm outta here. I don't want any part of it.

So sad. What could anyone think this would accomplish?
Check it out:

The boy who was killed in the Boston Marathon bombings was remembered by neighbors Tuesday as a vivacious 8-year-old who loved to run and climb.

Martin Richard was among the three people killed in the explosions Monday, according to U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, a friend of the family for 25 years. The boy’s mother, Denise, and 6-year-old sister, Jane, were badly injured. His brother and father were also watching the race but were not hurt.

They had gone to get ice cream, then returned to the area near the finish line. Neighbor Jack Cunningham said Martin’s father was a runner but had been injured and didn’t run the marathon.

“They were looking in the crowd as the runners were coming to see if they could identify some of their friends when the bomb hit,” Lynch said. He described the family as very strong and said they were doing better than might be expected.

BOSTON (AP) — Neighbors and friends remembered 8-year-old Boston Marathon bombing victim Martin Richard as a vivacious boy who loved to run, climb and play sports like soccer, basketball and baseball.

Family friend Jack Cunningham spoke Tuesday of how, as a pint-sized preschooler, Martin had insisted on getting out of a stroller his mom was pushing during a 5K race in South Boston.

Once she let him out to run with the rest of the family, Martin had other plans for the rainy race course.

"He was just having a ball, splashing in every puddle," Cunningham said.

The boy's father, Bill Richard, released a statement thanking family, friends and strangers for their support following his son's death Monday. Richard's wife, Denise, and the couple's 6-year-old daughter, Jane, also suffered significant injuries in the blasts.

"My dear son Martin has died from injuries sustained in the attack on Boston," Richard said. "My wife and daughter are both recovering from serious injuries. We thank our family and friends, those we know and those we have never met, for their thoughts and prayers. I ask that you continue to pray for my family as we remember Martin."

Other friends remembered Martin as a happy boy who was often outside playing with his sister, older brother Henry and other neighborhood kids.

The Richard family was watching Monday's race, and had gone to get ice cream before returning to the area near the finish line before the blasts.

"They were looking in the crowd as the runners were coming to see if they could identify some of their friends when the bomb hit," said U.S. Rep. Stephen Lynch, a friend of the family for 25 years.

He said they are a strong family and are doing better than expected, while rallying around the 6-year-old girl.

Lynch said the family was attempting to get over the race barriers and into the street when the second blast occurred, killing Martin. Bill Richard and Henry Richard were not seriously injured, but doctors did remove ball bearings from Bill Richard's leg, Lynch said.

"Ball bearings are meant as anti-personnel munitions," he said. "They were trying to cause carnage here."

On Tuesday morning, a candle burned on the stoop of the family's single-family home in the city's Dorchester section, and "peace" was written in chalk on the front walkway. A child's bicycle helmet lay overturned near the front lawn.

"What a gift. To know him was to love him," longtime family friend Judy Tuttle said of Martin, who remembered recently sitting at the dining room table having tea with Denise Richard while the boy did his homework. "He had that million-dollar smile and you never knew what was going to come out of him. Denise is the most spectacular mother that you've ever met and Bill is a pillar of the community. It doesn't get any better than these people."

Betty Delorey, an 80-year-old neighbor, said Martin loved to climb the neighborhood trees and hop the fence outside his home.

"I can just remember his mother calling him, 'Martin!' if he was doing something wrong," she said. "Just a vivacious little kid."

Delorey had a photo showing Martin dressed as the character Woody from the "Toy Story" films, wearing a cowboy hat, a sheriff's badge, jeans and a big smile. Jane was at his right dressed as Woody's friend Jesse. Henry was to their left, dressed as Harry Potter.

"I'm sick to my stomach," she said. "It's hard to say anything really."

Bill Richard is a leader in a local community group, and an avid runner and bicyclist. Cunningham said he believed his friend didn't run Monday's race because he has an injury, and Richard wasn't listed as a runner on the marathon's website.

Denise Richard works as a librarian at the Neighborhood House Charter School, where Martin was a third-grader and Jane attends first grade.

Counselors were being made available Tuesday to staff and students, according to school spokeswoman Bodi Luse, who said the whole community was devastated.

"I just can't get a handle on it," Cunningham said of the boy's death. "In an instant, life changes."
