Reid: On 9/11, Remember Our Challenges
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid ^ | September 9, 2011 | Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid

Posted on 09/09/2011 2:16:44 PM PDT by mdittmar

"My fellow Nevadans and I join the rest of this great nation in remembrance of the tragic events of that fateful day 10 year ago. And we will mourn the thousands of innocent lives lost in New York, Pennsylvania and the Pentagon.
 
"We will never forget the events of that Tuesday morning, which dawned so clear and blue, or how they changed our nation.
 
"But we should also remember the spirit of unity and determination that blossomed amidst the darkness of that day.
 
"In the weeks and months that followed, we were not Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, Red states and Blue states. We were Americans one and all.
 
"Beneath the partisanship of Washington, that is as true today as it was ten years ago.
 
"That doesn’t mean we will not disagree. In fact, the same freedom that allows us to disagree is the root of our Democracy.
 
"But it does mean we must work together in the best interest of this great nation – and in the interests of every man or woman who calls America home – no matter how difficult.
 
"Today, the greatest challenge facing this country is putting 14 million Americans back to work and returning our economy to prosperity. I look forward to tackling that that challenge as one nation."

Hey Harry,

I’ll remember those who fell on that day and in days since.

And I will also prey that we prevail agains all those who would see harm done against us.

The Obama White House is behind a cynical, coldly calculated political effort to erase the meaning of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks from the American psyche and convert Sept. 11 into a day of leftist celebration and statist idolatry.

Our voices need to be heard not only at Town Hall sessions or Tea Party demonstrations but in the very halls of Congress. We have to speak out to stop the desecration of September 11th.



NEVER FORGET

"Every 'moderate' Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a 'moderate' Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.

It is time to put an end to the charade of “moderate Islam.” There is no such thing as moderate Muslim. Muslims are either jihadists or dormant jihadists – moderate, they are not."

Ali Sini is head of Faith Freedom International. FFI is a grassroots worldwide movement of ex-Muslims and all those who are concerned about the rise of the Islamic threat.

NEVER FORGET



Watch this moving video. It is the most viewed of any of the 9/11 videos and is now in the Smithsonian.

Be sure to read (at the site) Anatomy Of The Attack and the moving essay,’That Day’ by Steve Golding, a New Yorker who lived through it.

Thanks mdittmar.
...we were not Democrats and Republicans, liberals and conservatives, Red states and Blue states. We were Americans one and all. "Beneath the partisanship of Washington, that is as true today as it was ten years ago.
That lasted right up until Afghanistan started.

YOU’RE one of our challenges, Reid. But you’re one we can do something about in your next election.
