You pretty much stated my feelings, in fact I would say I have the exact same thoughts about Sept. 11 and all the various memorials.
Agree. But, I would add to the list of heroes the firefighters and other first responders who rushed to the flames to save others and gave everything as a result
No there were lots and lots of heroes that day. Too many to try to go back in news and find them all. I recall one man who stayed with a coworker who was in a wheelchair and unable to leave the building. How about all the first responders who surely knew entering the building to try to help others was a suicide mission at best?
TV and the Internet have greatly changed the way we react to just about everything. I think your vanity is unfortunate, and yes, I read it.
I am glued to the TV today watching all the 9/11 shows. It reminds me that I do have a good reason to hate muslims and islam and to vote for those who are not too PC to admit the evils of islam.
I’m not watching TV / listening to radio today.
I am grieving in my own way, without prompting by a talking head or a politician.
Like almost everyone, I watched in shock and horror as the events of 9/11/01 played out.
I didn’t need to be told what to think or how to “feel” then, and I don’t need to today.
Can’t speak for all of the events of the day, but the memorial event down at ground zero seems dignified and appropriate. Good to see it.
There is a NCIS marathon on USA channel.
I’m sick of seeing all of the blowhard politicians and celebrities pontificating on 911.....this is not about them.
I’m tired of politicians from both parties using the 9/11 memorials as an excuse to put their two cents in.
I agree.
I believe I’m clear and unwavering in my understanding of the cause and the issues. Almost all of the government, media and other ceremonial handwringing is off point and counterproductive.
Sure, any flag waving and tribute to our troops is good, but all the abstracted calls for unity and understanding are subversive to the cause of our fellow countrymen understanding and facing a serious international and cultural threat.
The wallowing in and elevating of victimization is not a fitting tribute to those lost.
I disagree, this was an American tragedy and our coverage of the ten year anniversary of 9/11 shows the entire world we have not and will not forgotten.
Should have been forget not forgotten.
The only memorial I want to see are glowing craters where mecca, medina and that damnable well in Iran used to be.
BTW, I love sarah, too. I appreciate your viewpoint, but I don’t get that reaction from the funereal nature of the observances. It makes me feel the survivor’s sadness but it doesn’t say anything about how and why they died and who needs to pay for it.
I figure this is the one day of the year that liberal networks can try to perpetuate the lie that they don’t hate American completely with every single ounce of their collective black hearts.

That’s whats on my TV....
