I’m not just reacting to the talking heads and politicians. Even the reading of the names is borderline for me in its total preoccupation with victimization. Once upon a time in America, grown men and women kept their most passionate grief private and observed their loss with solemnity in public. Again, so no one misunderstands, I am totally sympathetic to the families; I just think, as others have said, it’s come the point where we are wallowing in it.
It's a memorial. The people being memorialized were slaughtered by Muslims. I think it's a good think not to forget it.

The event I'm watching at ground zero is solemn.

Sorry. We have a long tradition of memorial events in this country. I think that's a good thing.
