It’s time to forget September 11th.
That’s right. You heard me.
It’s time to push it out of our minds.
You can hoot and holler all you want about this concept. You can say I’m anti-American. You can even accuse me of spitting on the memories of all those who died. But you would miss the point of what I’m about to say here, because this has nothing to do with the heroes or victims, and nothing to do with politics.
This has to do with us.
At this point, that’s all 9/11 is: Just one crazy day that happened four and a half years ago. It sucked, but we can’t change it. We shouldn’t let it change the American dream.
Look around, and you’ll find the only thing America’s confident in anymore is its military. Take that away—take the pageantry, the yellow ribbons, and the thanks to “our men and women serving abroad” before sporting events—and it’s clear that we think we have nothing to offer. We’ve grown soft in the era of get-rich-quick McDonald’s lawsuits. Our culture is vacuous, and our belief in it is missing. Even the best stuff we have—like our colleges—are too busy being reviled to be respected and enjoyed.

Liberal child-think in the extreme.
But stay tuned folks, there will be even more of the absurd to come. The closer we get to engaging in the big fight ahead, the more frightened and illogical they will become and we will be treated to more of this "broader picture", banal rubbish.
"It sucked!" Gee, I wish I had that kind of literary skill.............................
Love it. Reminds me of Red telling Eric, "Son, bad things don't happen to you because you're unlucky,...bad things happen to you because you're A DUMB ASS!
And dem dat forgets history iz doomed to repeats it...

The title is his first sentence. They're his own words. Yeah, he's doing it for shock value. He asked for it, he's getting it.
But just because 3,000 people died four and a half years ago doesn’t mean we should stop believing in the power of what we believe."
From reading the rest of the article, I can only guess that what he believes in is the power of open borders and free trade. He devotes the most space to bitching about the lack of those.
The most interesting part of the article is the paragraph at the very bottom:
Jonathan David Morris is a political writer -- and sometimes satirist -- based in Pennsylvania. A strong believer in small government, JDM often takes aim at oppressive taxes, entitlements, and laws, writing about incompetence at the highest levels of culture and government.

I'm not exactly sure what he is, and not sure I want to devote a lot of time to finding out, but he's not exactly a liberal.
I'm okay with that. Let's forget black history, MLK and such. No reason to honor labor either. What else can we just forget? We've moved past it all, haven't we?
A contradiction in terms.
I agree with you. Read the entire article. I did. Context changes everything.
