I'm Sick of 9/11 Memorials (Vanity)

I watched a bit of the memorial services today and after a few moments I just couldn’t watch anymore. When Biden got up to speak that was enough for me.

Over the last ten years we have seen the liberal democrats obstruct everything this country has done to seek revenge for the souls lost on 9-11, but today I see those very people standing before a microphone telling us how sad and full of resolve they were to seek that revenge. Bidens remarks about “awakening a sleeping giant” truly made me ill.

Since the democrats gained power in 2006 - 2011 we went from being a giant to being an apologist nation for actions taken to defend ourselves and wanting to seek justice for almost 3000 Americans lost. They used it as a photo-op. Obama and the democrats have not strengthened this nation, they have weakened our military, strengthened our enemies, destroyed our economy, and sold us out to the highest bidders. Yet they have the timerity to stand before us today with their patriotic words meant to inspire us all, when we already know who they are, what they have not done, and the damage they still intend to do. 9-11 to a democrat politician is nothing more than a photo opportunity and a lame speech full of meaningless words.

So, fellow Americans let us remember 9-11 in our own way. I remember where I was when I saw those beautiful souls leave this world. I saw it happen, I heard it, and we all lived it. It goes beyond mere love of flag and country, forgotten speeches and words that fade into nothing. I prayed to the person it all matters to. I gave them to God. I gave my country to God. That is where our inspiration and love of country comes from, and that is where mercy, love and compassion inspire us to be greater.

I will never forget. We will never forget those we lost. God bless us all.

I would never believe their transformation and will hate them unto death. I despise islam and all the left wing pukes who deny it’s evil. They are sub-human in my eyes.

Yeah, if the first word is “collective” you can pretty much guarantee I don’t care what the second word is, I’m just not going to be into it. Collective grief, collective guilt, collective soul, just not where I am.

[geege]

Me too....I looked at nj.com and they had an article of the victims from NJ so I scrolled down, looked at their pic’s, got lumpy throat and closed it out.....

Yes, Bush’s speech was, I guess, better. But he wedged in his own political message—with which I firmly disagree.

He advocated for our fighting for “freedom” around the world and sounded an awful lot like a young Barack Obama in 2001 when he essentially argued that it was poverty and lack of opportunity that turned innocents to terrorism.

We know full well that it tends to be not the “deprived”, but if anything middle- to upper-class Islamists with college educations who fight the infidels. It is the Islamic ideology, not global pockets of poverty, that is the root cause.

I also disagree with Bush that a neocon global war for Islamic “democracies” is the appropriate answer.

So you're voting for Ron Paul.

I agree with him that freedom is worth promoting.

His speech was about courage and sacrifice.

By the way "neocon" is a code word for Jew, which also makes me think you're with Ron Paul.

“...a fireman got up on stage and said something to the effect that Osama bin Laden could kiss his royal Irish ass.”

That fireman’s brother was Freeper BCM, Battalion Commander Moran, who died in the collapse.

We also lost Barbara Olson on that day, who was on the plane that hit the Pentagon.

Go back to Dec. 7th, 1951, ten years after Pearl Harbor. The enemy had been ground into the dirt for over six years by then (and we were in another war, thanks to joining the UN, but that’s another story). We and the rest of the world had stepped and done what was needed. We had our surprise at Pearl Harbor - they had theirs at Hiroshima. 9-11 should have been handled the same way.

Its the tenth year anniversary. So while I don’t watch it I understand some others will and thats fine with me.

[Textide]

The “102 minutes that changed America” show by A&E this morning didn’t shy from showing jumpers. There wasn’t one talking head in that whole show either.

How the tenth anniversary of Pearl Harbor was observed—or not observed

Stephen T. writes:

I’ve been wondering how Americans of 1951 must have commemorated the tenth anniversary of Pearl Harbor with teary ceremonies coast to coast, anguished cries over why God let it happen, and entreaties to hand-hold with our enemies so that it will never happen again. Oh, wait. According to this interesting AP piece, they didn’t:

Pausing to remember Pearl Harbor didn’t dominate the news, nor, according to anecdotal newspaper accounts, was it at the forefront for many Americans.
On Dec. 7 of that year [1951], the top headlines told of the latest news from Korea.

Many newspapers put the Pearl Harbor anniversary on their front pages, but they squeezed it in among the dozen or so stories commonly crammed on a page in those days. Many relegated it to the bottom of the front page.
LIFE, a weekly magazine that was among the most prominent publications of the time, made no mention of the anniversary in either its Dec. 3 or Dec. 10 editions, said Emily Rosenberg, a history professor at University of California, Irvine.

The only mention of Japan, Rosenberg said, came in a story about American servicemen from the Korean War seeking respite at Japanese baths attended to by “’plump Japanese girls in pale blue play skirts.’’’ There were several ceremonies in Hawaii to remember the attack.

The one at Pearl Harbor was only for the Navy, which had recently installed a small platform and flagpole at the sunken wreck of the USS Arizona. Other memorials, including a Catholic mass at a cathedral and a ceremony at a national cemetery in Honolulu, remembered the Pearl Harbor dead alongside those killed in World War II and the Korean War.

Some even had trouble remembering Pearl Harbor at all.

But it happened in NEW YORK— the most self centered and overly dramatic 50 square miles in the universe. So, they would be befuddled by your reaction.

[9YearLurker]

Sorry, pal. I’m not for Ron Paul or anti-Semitic.

And isn’t it so nice of you to accuse me of being either or both!

(Also, good luck with all those US-created-through-war Arab democracies stopping terrorism...)

I would not want yo to be supporting DEATH, well-packaged and dignified, but still _death.

If I were you, I'd stay away from the "artiste-led" mush on TV. (James Taylor junk is inappropriate IMO).

However, remembrance is important and I've been going through some youtube videos made by amateurs and people on the street who were THERE. The raw emotion is still there, not the artistic triped-up version.

And I've seen many, many fresh comments there by kids over the last couple of days who say things like "I had no idea what really happened until I saw this video" (thus showing the importance of re-living it lest the younger generataion forgets) and some of the surprising passion from the kids comdemning the terrorists with fresh vigor becauase they have been prevented from seeing the real pictures on TV all these years and are seeing them on Youtube for the first time.

10 years on it is appropriate to have remembrance IMO...but I agree not the garbage-remembrance which comes when events are led by liberals. It is also appropriate to remember that in the last 10 years we have gotten Bin Laden, Hussein and TENS of THOUSANDS of hardened terrorists who will never live to perpetrate another horror.

There is only one 9/11 memorial I want:

They made a pile of their trophies
High as a tall man’s chin,
Head upon head distorted,
Set in a sightless grin,
Anger and pain and terror
Stamped on the smoke-scorched skin.

Subadar Prag Tewarri
Put the head of the Boh
On the top of the mound of triumph,
The head of his son below-
With the sword and the peacock banner
That the world might behold and know.

Thus the samadh was perfect,
Thus was the lesson plain
Of the wrath of the First Shikaris-
The price of white man slain;
And the men of the First Shikaris
Went back into camp again.

[FreeReign]

I would not want yo to be supporting DEATH, well-packaged and dignified, but still death.

I appreciate your concern, but I'm not sure what your comment about "supporting DEATH" means.

I don't supply death with money or necessities, I don't furnish corroborating evidence for it, occasionally I must bear the weight of it, and I'm sure someday I will not be able to withstand it.

Hope that helps.

It’s exactly what I thought. New Yakkers continually blab about how tough New Yakkers are, living in such a maelstrom of crime, violence and all. Then the moment someone criticizes you New Yakkers and your city, you go sobbing into the bathroom and weep. What a bunch of hooey. This should be your newest marketing slogan: Stay away if you’re going to hurt our feelings.

Your essay is masterful, and I agree wholeheartedly.
