I think I’ve ran out of useful things to say in the past eight years. Unfortunately, I believe most of the country has moved on. With calls now to get out of Afghanistan, it’s like we’ve forgotten what started everything in the first place.
The first World Trade Center bombing was supposed to be the unheeded wakeup call for 9/11, and now I’m afraid 9/11 will end up being the not completely heeded warning to something bigger. We as a country were changed by 9/11, but probably not enough to keep it from happening again.
My prayers are with the families of the victims.
My condolences to the families of the victims of 9/11 and to the families of our fallen servicemen and women.
May God have mercy on the rest of us.
September 11, 2001 was this generation’s Pearl Harbor in a war against the US and the West that had been going on since the Carter Administration, when American hostages were held in the American Embassy in Teheran for 444 days. It was only because the hirabi invaders knew that Ronaldus Magnus wouldn’t out up with their crap that they released them.
Instead of the entire country rallying around the victims and their families, the Left chose to make victims out of the hijackers and their enablers, empowering the nutroots and beginning the “Truther” movement. Only those with a backbone of steel and a will of iron stepped up to the plate.
The sheeple continue to bleat about fairness and their entitlements, while the wolves bark at the door, and only the sheepdogs stand between them.
On would like to think with 9-11 being a recent memory that we as a nation would take the Islamofascist threat more serious, and to be fair a large number of us still do. Unfortunately the Left and their MSM myrmidons have “moved on”.
I’m curious as to whether this administration is going to let Mr. I’m ADinnerjacket and his crazy mullahs finish their nuclear erector set. Should that happen, and when our next inevitable 9-11 is nuclear, perhaps even the Left may turn on Dear Leader.
I am sure the families of the murdered victims have not forgotten. We will not forget, and if the numb idiots that are leftist turd buckets forget, and we get another one, we will not forget them either.
For all those that servered, currently serve, and will serve in the future. Thank you!
I have not forgotten and my prayers to the victims, our fallen service men and women and all those currently protecting us! Our apologies that your leader is such a giant tool! When she runs, Sarah Palin will fix that!
This is a day of remembering heroes, not celebrating the villians (as I have seen on libbie websites today). We will never know thw hundreds of acts of heroisim that took place in the towers and the Pentagon. Many who could have told the stories were killed. But we know these stories happenned. We’re Americans, and we do things like that.
I believe it’s even worse than what some of the other commenters have mentioned. Apparently, the best way to get respected as one of the most important and peaceful religions in the world is to murder 3,000 innocent civilians in the name of your “religion of peace”. Once you do so, not only are you not condemned, but the left will immediately elevate you to the status of “most” important religion in the world.
“I just got married and was waking up to get off to college while finishing my last year in journalism. My wife called and said “turn on the television”. I did, and the second plane had not hit yet. When I got to college, as I walked up to the television studio in the Basket Ball Arena my professor walked out, and with the sun reflecting off the domed arena a shadow threw his hands up and hollered, “Go home and turn on the television…This is your Pearl Harbor” That is why I built this site. Joe Burns was his name.”
I found this on http://pledgeamerica.org/blog/ pretty cool opinions there…

This time around, it’s so much harder than it has been in recent years. I’m not sure if that’s because this is the first one without President Bush or because of the weird coincidence that it came in the same week as a a big happy holiday. Whatever: it hurts harder this year.
But don’t let the political-journalistic complex get you down. One thing surprised me soon after 9/11 and that was the resurgence of the flag. I hadn’t seen it waved so proudly in so many places since the 50s and early 60s. It freaked some people out (remember some idiot who banned one on a desk in an office in, I think, Florida? and how the Prestige Media, within months, started coming out with articles, little ones at first, about how it was time to “move on” and get over all this flag-waving stuff? ), but the people stood strong, and that really heartened me: if that American spirit couldn’t have been pounded into lifelessness by the 60s and 70s and some of the 80s, and yes, the 90s, too: it just ain’t gonna quit. We will never forget and we will stand tall and proud. It’s the hippies who are going to be the movers-on, wait and see.

Anybody got some 9/11-America related links to cheer Frank (and the rest of us) up?
Here’s how well the regressives remember 9/11 & other attacks on free society:

I’m at a loss; how do I support anyone in my government when they can’t seem to get it? In all likelihood, there will be more terrorism on US soil, now more so than any time in the eight years prior to today, all thanks to that grand moron & his pack of liars. So even if (when) something more horrendous that 9/11, they still won’t get it. They’ll blame capitalism, or American prosperity. Or they’ll blame it on Bush & to that end, there’s nothing negative that cannot be blamed on Bush for the next 2 decades; look at how they still attack Reagan to this day.
I have no respect for any Liberal Democrat & several “Republicans” living today, and that will not change. Not because of my unwillingness to change how I see them – as traitors and hatemongers – but because I know that they’re so far gone, so far beyond common sense, that they will not change their ways. I know they see America and our allies like Israel not as free republics, but as problems to be solved. This is the climate of self-loathing that I have to continually re-educate my children not to buy into.
So on this day, I grieve for the victims here & abroad of terrorist acts of war. I grieve for the families of 9/11 victims & for the fact that they will have to hear the truther bullsh*t, the Ward Churchills & Michael Moores, and all the Hollywood propaganda about the Bush administration until they die. I’m sorry for the victims yet to come worldwide that will die because of people like Obama, Gore, Pelosi, Napolitano, Reid, and the Clintons do not get how things are in this world. That these victims will die because of neo-progressive ignorance and complacency. And I’m ashamed that there are a few million American liberals that will celebrate when it happens.
My thoughts and prayers are with the victims’ families and soldiers who so bravely protect and defend us. I have not forgotten.
You know, I wonder what that day would have been like if Twitter and Youtube had been around.
To the ilk that perpetrated 9/11, may your stench be blown clean off the planet.
9/12 is going to be interesting.
I realize I’m a day late, but in remembrance of the fallen…if you know any terrorists, now is the time to kill them.
