9/11 is no longer a wedge issue that one side or the other can use as a political club. It has become part of our national story, awaiting perhaps a Scott Fitzgerald or Frank Capra to give the event a definitive place in our cultural treasure chest. September 11, 2001 belongs to all of us now in a way it didn’t just four short years ago.

To dramatize that, John McCain and Barack Obama took a time out from campaigning on Thursday and visited Ground Zero in New York City. It was a simple gesture....

Still affects ??

Hell, the socialists jumped for joy and wet their pants when it happened.

This was just the thing they were hoping/trying for.

The Islamic crime on our people and society is there in the back of our mind every single day, I think I speak for all Americans here.

Never Forget...

A definitive tale, in fact several of them, already had been written, but for several reasons, they are being suppressed. There is not yet agreement on who actually caused the events of that day, with some of the wilder theories including the current Administration or the State of Israel being the moving agency behind the attack.

The real answer is one that a good many do not ever want to accept.

The most sickening thing I ever heard on the 7th anniversary came from one of my students today. He was talking about a friend visiting ground zero and seeing "where they put the dynamite in the building" This from a 13-year-old Ukrainian immigrant.
It is just one the reasons why I observe somberly and silently. For all this talk about blood for oil, no one seems to mention the soulless "entrepreneurs" who have minted green out of flesh and blood with a conspiracy theory based on tragedy and lunacy.
