[...] no one has forgotten the events of 9/11, we may just have forgotten those it affected most. I wrote last year about the big sign in the local mall that says “Never Forget.” I know what they meant by that. [...]

Sandy: I don’t think the civilians here at home deserve what you’ve done for them. While you were over there trying to protect them, they’ve been over here having a little pissing contest, lying their asses off every time they speak or write, calling each other commies and fascists, accusing each other of treason, comparing your commander in chief to Hitler, claiming he caused 9/11, ruining each other’s careers, staging riots, generally hating each other and seeming to enjoy it. Your choice to defend these pathetic monkeys from worse enemies than they can imagine is extremely noble. Unfortunately, you’d experience more loyalty and gratitude if you just stayed home and adopted stray cats and dogs. At least half of these assholes hope you lose over there, and a good number of them wouldn’t be too upset if you died. I’m glad you’re defending the Constitution – it’s the only thing left that’s noble and true in our political system. But I’m damned if I can see any particular reason to defend the citizens of the United States. They do not deserve your sacrifice.

I hope you mean the Blues don’t get it either. They can’t tell traditional patriots from Nazis or a few relatively minor security measures from the descent of fascism. You need to listen to the rhetoric. Make no mistake – I have nothing positive to say about either side in this debate. They’re ALL to blame for where we are today. They should ALL be ashamed, embarrassed, contrite, for themselves and for our country.

The comments to this article have gone way off target. The point was why have we let the memories fade. I for one will not forget that day for a number of reasons. It took me away from my family time and time again, but I knew it was necessary because for evil to prevail it only requires good men to do nothing. So, I say to those of you with such negative attitudes “what have you done to stop this evil?” I have proudly served this country both at home and in Iraq. I fight for what is right and good. I can not and will not believe sitting on the sidelines and letting the world dictate our actions is ever the right answer. You can take your world opinion and stick it up your @$$, because a lot of those people you are worried about cheered that day and paraded in the streets. Sure there were those who called and wished us well, but they didn’t suffer or have to bury the dead.

You can say what you want about the money spent fighting the wars, but how much is a life worth because that money bought safety for you, the civilians here at home, for the last 7 years. Those who gave it all on the battlefield did so because they were warriors and knew the cost, but those in the towers were innocent and had no choice. So spout all the crap you want about whether Iraq was right or not, but I know for a fact that no one sitting in their office doing their job has been killed in 7 years.

Bugs 9:39 am:

I agree again, but I think that when the good old USA is seriously threatened, the country does unite. The ideological battle between reds and blues gets nasty because the reds don’t get it and are sorrily paranoid.

The problem is that our educational systems does not teach people how to think clearly and avoid the untruths. Religion clouds the mind too. We are not as advanced as we think, the World knows it. We’re just lucky.

god:

Not sure I can see a positive side. We squandered whatever unity or sympathy we had for each other after 9/11. We can’t mark the anniversary or mourn our dead without the occasion turning into a hate-fest. We’ve reverted to some kind of default primate behavior, like troop of chimpanzees frightened by a lion. One major difference: Though chimps react to danger by climbing trees, scampering around, thrashing in the vegetation, chattering, hooting, screaming, and baring their fangs – sort of like we Americans are doing now – as far as I know, they don’t usually attack each other every time a leopard shows up. If self-hate and self-destruction are part of some advanced survival strategy practiced only by homo sapiens americanis, I wish somebody would explain to me how it’s better than sticking together and protecting ourselves.

Cedarford, You’re from a fossilized wing of the Republican party that has often been on the wrong side of history. It is the place where the ideologies come full circle and Buchananites unite with radical anti American liars like Justin Raimondo. It is a place where the Big Little tent includes White Supremists, neo-nazis, folks still fighting the Civil War and other splinter groups with no following. The Ron Paul campaign galvanized this group along with Truthers and other conspiracy theorists. Your disdain for “theocrats” is a repudiation of classic conservatism which understood the religious roots of true conservatism. “Neo- cons” contrary to being a veiled reference to Jews in your lexicon are really those who have fled the hard left understanding the perilous world we live in. The K Street lobbyists are non partisan greed merchants. They have far too much influence in both parties.
People don’t dislike your thought because it’s truth spoken in a world of lies but because it is cynical, often anti- semitic fringe lunacy.
