In Memoriam, 8 Years Later

How soon we forget. If ever an event should have galvanized this country as did Pearl Harbor 60 years before, this was that event. And yet, eight years later, our politics is marked by puerility and our international reputation is only slowly being brought back from rock- bottom. We -- all of us -- dishonor by our conduct the memories of the innocents and the brave public servants who died that day.

I am as guilty of this as are you, reader. We should all be ashamed.

Hey MS, why don't you do your part and report on this idiocy

and what an insult it is.

I disagree Bobell. I believe that most Americans still believe in Patriotism. While the far left have emerged again from the deep bowels of their holes, which they were relagated too soon after 9/11. The have re-emerged.
.
It was heart-warming soon after 9/11 to see this country united under one banner that we are strong together as one voice. One mind. One country that said, "never again".
.
But, I do think you have your basic principles confused, bobell. Patriotism is alive and well in middle America. Those who have abandoned their patriotism are not the conservative Democrats, Independents or Republicans. But your fellow far left, fringe Democrats.
.
But, I am hopeful that the more conservative voices of the Democrat Party are returning to the values demonstrated during 9/11.
.
I think where you confuse things, the far left fringe had basically crawled under ground, hiding in the dark recesses of their politically secluded lives at that time. .
.
Today, with Obama's call for appeasement for our adversaries. Appeasement for those who would again do us harm, the slime that is the far left, have slowly but surely emerged from their under ground pits.
.
But, I am hopeful with your comment. Perhaps more Democrats will also view how it is 8 years later, and decide that the direction Obama wants to take this country is not the direction the majority of Americans want to be taken. Perhaps in 2010, voters will once again call for a government that caters to ALL, and not just the few on the far left.

9/11 is a reminder of the depraved and perniciously wicked people in the world who commit and continue to commit heinous acts.

I went downtown Manhattan a short while after those perniciously wicked amoral fiends had taken thousands of innocent lives-- It was a shocking, heart wrenching and horrible.

I lost friends in the World Trade Center on that day.

Every anniversary is a reminder to me that as individuals we have to cherish every day and live full and rewarding lives-- AND also remember that there must be no room for injustice and tolerance of criminality. There is no reason to encroach upon, threaten, abuse or kill anyone else because of real or imagined differences. To each his OWN religion, belief and life.

Sadly, no matter how much we want to live in a world where people respect each other and live and let live, there are those among us who are viciously depraved and unbelievable amoral and inhuman.
Such people (like the FELONS I discuss on my blog) are devoid of any modicum of humanity, depraved, desperate and vile Thugs. These fiends and others of their ilk are the reason for the existence of the Criminal Justice system.

I pray for the families that daily deal with the loss of their loved ones. I hope they heal with each passing day.
