RE :”...Sept 11 was over 11 years ago...”
I distinctly remember how quickly the Dems and their media sycophants moved to squelch any sense of anger, unity, or desire to hit back hard that the country had immediately following the attacks.”

I dont remember them succeeding though.
I do remember that GWB did succeed in that with Iraq and it took a couple of years or so to do it, Remember “Stay the course, we are on target” week after week until after the 2006 election? All after the “greet as liberators”, “Mushrroom clouds over US Cities “ and ‘Bring it on” comments and then the endless “Stay the course” ? Then after the election the opposite direction plan?

That will do it. Total impatience and frustation and the belief that you cant trust anything they say. Now we got Obama making up the stories. Who will believe that MR is more honest/less dishonest than those two?

“...I dont remember them succeeding though...”

To a degree, I think they did succeed. I remember having arguments with folks about whether we should hit them back or not. I was pro “bomb them back to the stone age”, of course, as you would expect.

But yes, the anger was pretty powerful, and I think Bush was able to capitalize on it. I don’t blame him though - They started it.
