Across the nation, public officials will strike somber poses and shed television-friendly tears and bow their blow-dried heads in memory of the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
They'll hold hands, light candles, and pass around a plateful of platitudes: "Never forget," they'll intone. "Let's roll," they'll thunder. "God bless America," they'll warble in perfect harmony.
They'll assure us that they are committed to fighting terror and securing our borders and doing whatever it takes to protect the homeland from another horrific mass murder at the hands of freedom-hating fanatics. And then?
And then, from Washington state to Washington, D.C., they'll go back to work, roll up their sleeves, and spit on the graves of the 9/11 dead.
Your pious city councilwoman will return to the office to draft a resolution condemning the common-sense detention and deportation of Middle Eastern illegal aliens suspected of terrorism.
Your politically correct police chief will refuse to cooperate with federal authorities in criminal investigations of illegal visa overstayers and border-crossers and ship-jumpers.
Your pandering mayor will stealthily renew his policy of preventing city employees from reporting illegal aliens.
Your indignant local librarian will promote fear-mongering and misinformation about the Patriot Act.
Your regional Chamber of Commerce president will join forces with Canadian and Mexican government representatives to put business interests ahead of border enforcement.
Your tuition-thirsty university president will lobby behind closed doors against federal efforts to track foreign students and ensure that they go home when required.
Your vote-hungry governor will encourage document fraud through his support of insecure foreign-issued identification cards and driver's licenses for "undocumented workers."
Your race card-fearing congressman will court Arab and Muslim special interest groups and donors who have coddled Islamists on college campuses, in prisons, and in the U.S. military in the name of "diversity."
Your grandstanding senator will block funding for long-delayed homeland defense measures -- such as a national entry-exit system to monitor temporary foreign visitors -- even as he whines about the need for more money to ensure our safety.
Your incompetent Transportation Security Administration will stonewall pilots who want training to be armed, squander tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on lucrative contracts for weapons-detection equipment that doesn't work or get used, and continue to ban racial profiling.
Your indifferent Interior Department will look the other way as underequipped and understaffed park rangers along the southwestern border remain vulnerable to drug smugglers and terrorists.
Your bloated Homeland Security Department will keep Clinton-era holdovers in pivotal positions, reduce routine inspections at seaports in the name of efficiency, and continue to shortchange interior enforcement against deportation fugitives and asylum con artists in favor of duct tape tipsheets and cosmetic color-coded alerts.
Your corrupted State Department will appease Saudi terror-backers, reward butt-covering managers, assuage European travel industry tycoons, and continue to defend lax visa screening policies.
Your Democratic presidential candidates will unanimously endorse the very kind of amnesty policies that allowed several al Qaeda operatives to infiltrate this country and hatch terrorist plots.
And your Republican Party elites will continue to spurn immigration reformers within their own ranks for fear of alienating ethnic constituencies that will never vote for them anyway.
To those who lost their lives on Sept. 11 because their government failed to enforce its borders, laws, and sovereignty, the politicians and bureaucrats and civic leaders will ostentatiously offer one measly day a year of dedication in rhetoric -- and 364 days of desecration in deed.

I think I want to marry this woman. (Sorry Ann Coulter, if you're lurking.)
I would like to add one category. It is our version of "the good German." It is the category of the "it all counts toward thirty" crowd of federal employees. What percentage are they? I can only guess.
What do they do? Anything the clowns Ms Malkin writes about ask they to do. How far will they go? Ruby Ridge and Waco are clues. I fear they will be unleashed upon the patriots guarding the borders. Then what?
I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the "good Germans" in the government-dependent contractor class.
I will not bring a cross-thread Flame-war here. All I ask is that people look at what the Chancellor posted here, then read some of his posts regarding a certain Western State's Govenor's race.
Then read what those who agree with him say.
Anyone see a pattern here? Anyone see how those with Conservative principles are attacked and treated?
Now Michelle Malkin is a threat or a fraud to those with NO core principles?
All I can say is "Wow!"
I'm thinking people need to get back to the real definition if illegal. It means violation of the law. If someone is here illegal, they are in violation of the law and are available for arrest.
Here is a though. Here in Texas, visibly pass a law allowing illegal aliens to sign up for drivers licenses. Then when they sign up, issue them an non-visaed non-resident license. Then arrest and deport them.
Stop the open borders death cult.
Careful, her husband is a FReeper.
Let me tell you what she doesn't say:
America, you have the government that you ASKED for. Get off your collective asses and CHANGE it. We have no one to blame but ourselves.
