I believe most folks were concentrating on the flag ... until these revisionists came along and made an issue out of changing the event.

I believe there are a bunch of the hard core liberals/socialists/marxists and their tag alongs who are insecure about the unity they see breaking out all over and the patriotism (and well they should be with such ideological views).

So they will take what ever opportunity they can to dig at it ... to tear it down ... to knock us off a path that will lead to the type of liberty, virtue, morality and individual responsibility (meaning less need for government programs that pay many of their way) that this nation was founded upon.

Anyhow ... that comment is spot on ... we need to focus on the flag and what it represents.

To me, that flag-raising had nothing to do with anything but the colors red, white, and blue. It said that we have been wounded but we are far from defeated. It said the spirit of America is strong.

It is an entirely different subject than honoring the rescue workers who sacrificed their lives. That's a worthy cause, too ..... but a completely different one!

This picture personifies, in our lifetime, what the Star Spangled Banner is all about .... "Oh, say can you see?" ..... and the answer is a resounding YES, even amidst the rubble!
