“Of course you don’t understand 9-11 … you’re too busy understanding the terrorists.”

Agree 1000%

Damn straight.

The sickness of their expression is in the two little smiling planes. Perverse is what it is.

is that we have to see what they keep under it. We were attacked once. That same class of people wants to attack us again and kill even more people.

People like Olbermann take their cue from these folks.

Insanity.

After all, it is Bill Clinton Legacy Day.

Let’s Roll, absentee.

A co-worker of mine who is currently under the Obama Spell told me two days ago that John McCain is a war-monger.

Of course, he didn’t have an answer for me when I asked how someone who was held as a prisoner of war could possibly think that war was cool.

Then, he jumped to the lib talking point that Republicans are fear-mongers because we try to scare Americans into voting for us by saying that the bad guys will get us if they don’t.

To that I say, “…and?”

Fear is a great motivator. I don’t think it’s totally unreasonable to be afraid that if America elects someone who is completely naive when it comes to how to deal with crazy extremists, we will be attacked again.

I almost threw up when I saw that picture, though.

“All this Pearl Harbor remembering is ghoulish and downright silly”

Well……….not ‘that’ proud….

for most Americans. Everyone I know even my Democrat friends are still saddened and angry. And yes still want justice. Sadly we have to carry this burden alone,because the rest of the world thinks we should be over it. Like they got WW1 and WW11. Are they over them? Ask the older generation who lived it or lost their loved ones when they were children, they’re not over it.

No. Never will we forget the day these evil zealots took the lives of Americans who did nothing more than show up for work,or get on a plane.If the sic-o -libs have no more compassion for the memory of 9/11, how can they claim to love this country? Patriotism is not just for holidays and mourning continues after the funerals.

Tears streamed down my face watching the tapes of the towers fall,and the Flag being unfurled at the Pentagon.

This line from an AP story in the Charlotte Observer on 9/11/08:

Seven years means we are far enough away that Sen. Joe Biden can joke in a Democratic debate that former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani only mentions three things in a sentence, “a noun and a verb and 9/11,” and bring down the house.

I had TWO UNCLES working at the towers on 9/11, one who left with a punctured lung and was on life support, the other with a broken collar bone who has yet to recover from the pain he feels in his upper body which has caused him to drink endlessly. Now, what the Democrats are doing is saying that 9/11′s anniversary has almost become a holiday to some people. The way they exploit it for ratings, or for their political speeches is just beyond me. My family would like to move on. My 2 uncles are still trying to move on and I agree with what those people said. We should remember what happened on that day, but documentaries of it happening, candidates referring to it endlessly in their speeches, all of that should STOP. Republicans seem to do it a lot more than Democrats. It’s terrible, really.

I just saw some newly released pictures of 9/11 just before I read this article. It is enough to make your blood boil to see that the liberals are trying to use such a tragedy for political gain, and that is what I believe they are doing. Unfortunately, my experience with them has been that they usually do not listen to anything that runs counter to their “feelings” (i.e. – see the facts) and if it is too far out, they shut off their feelings (their brain) and, therefor, have nothing to work with.

Remembering what happened on 9-11 & why it happened does not help to promote what the kos kidz want promoted.

Our policy is motivated by 9/11, which is why you’re damn right we remind people about it. 9/11 is the reason we took down the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. 9/11 is the reason why we wiretap terrorist phone calls and keep terrorists locked up in Guantanamo. 9/11 is the reason we cannot accept terrorist-supporting nations possessing WMDs. 9/11 is the reason we can’t allow Al Qaeda to have safe haven in Iraq or Pakistan.

Saying that conservatives can’t remind people of 9/11 is like saying liberals can’t remind people of poverty or lack of health care. The liberals believe that we should act just like we did before 9/11. Of course they don’t want us to mention somethingthey want everyone to forget. The reason we have to remind people is precisely because liberals ignore it!

Conservatives from Alaska to Florida were moved to the core by 9/11. Most didn’t know a single person killed that day. It moved us to the core because America was attacked and thousands of individual Americans just like us were burned or crushed to death, not by accident, but because of the actions of the Jihadists. We will not forget. We will not allow this to happen again. We are going to kill or capture every one of those bastards until the threat is eliminated.

Liberals won’t.

I hopefully will not ever experience the pain felt by the families who saw the men and women, perhaps one of their family members, they will never know, who had to jump out of those towers to escape the flames. It was an indelible image never to be forgotten.

I DON’T wanna get banned.. I know the wrath of MOE’s big stick, so I shall hold my tongue towards those lefty darlings.

This comment struck a nerve…

) “If the world has become a more dangerous place since 11 September 2001, it is not solely because of the activities of a bunch of Islamic terrorists.” It’s America, you see. Sort of like, when a person is being mugged, and they punch the mugger in the face; well the mugger isn’t really the only one bringing violence to the street is he?

This kind of lefty thinking infuriates me. I guess defending yourself and your country is just NOT acceptable to some people.
It makes you wonder just how that type of person/people would survive collectively if attacked.
Would said group choose NOT to defend themselves, and therefor become extinct? The fact that these type of people have any say in how MY life and country are defended, makes me ill.

9/11 IS in our Hearts..and WE shall NEVER FORGET!!

I guess this means we don’t have to remember JFK, MLK, RFK or Vietnam, and Watergate never happened. I remember on the 5yr anniversary of “Mission Accomplished” that’s all I heard about in the Left Wing media. So I guess the left never gets tired of commemorating the Iraq invasion, the anniversary of Mission Accomplished. We just can’t remember what got us there in the first place. I think every year on the 9-11 anniversary the media should replay the original broadcast. We should never forget. If that upsets you or hurts your feelings, don’t watch.

Celebrating the death of thousands of your fellow countrymen strikes me as grounds for questioning.

damned. effing. streight.

As Maggie said upthread, Sept 11 will always be a painful day for many of us. Time moves on and so do we, but I think it very important that we allow ourselves to ache and wonder on this day. Because we must Never forget.

There is a place reserved in hell for people who would mock such a solemn day. May they spend eternity there.

Allow me to quote myself from a diary entry “Thoughts Before The Seventh Anniversary of the September Eleventh Attacks”

The psychology of the modern left-winger is a mixture of hedonism and guilt: pleasure without responsibility, and guilt for enjoying that pleasure, leading to a kind of political masochism where they enjoy being lashed for leading comfortable lives. Punish me please, says the Hollywood left-wing elitist in his mansion, where he writes checks to save the environment or Obama’s campaign, which allows him therefore to retain his consuming, capitalist life-style, while simultaneously hating it. Such an attitude sneers at the sacrifices made in the last airplane to go down, where passengers tried to attack the terrorists and prevent the White House or the Capitol building from being leveled.

The extreme pacifism of the left-winger does not derive from a Biblical interpretation of Love a la the Amish.

It is derived from guilt and cowardice.

I’m 38 years old. For years I listened to grandparents talk about where they were when they heard that Pearl Harbor had been attacked or to parents talk in similar tones of Kennedy’s assasination. 9-11 was that day for me. I’ll always remember where I was and how I felt that day. I remember lying in bed that silent night, unable to sleep, with occasional fighter jets piercing the night sky. My wife lying next to me – 8 months pregnant. A three year-old in the next room. And all I could ask myself was “what kind of world are we bringing these children into.”

I was in a daze for the better part of two days. I remember the great lengths my wife and I went to to shield our daughter from the pictures on the television and newspapers. And then on the third day, I came up the front steps of our house after a long day at work to be greeted by my little angel, who said, upon seeing me “I want to be a fireman when I grow up and save people when bad things happen.” I picked her up, tears streaming down my face, put her in the car, and went to the hardware store to by a flag for the front porch.

9-11 defines me. I suspect it defines a good number of people on this site. It clearly also defines those on Kos that post garbage like this. I’m not ashamed of the person 9-11 has made me, nor do I apologize for the world view I’ve adopted as a result thereof. I wonder if the Kos kids can say the same for themselves.

Crowe, you spout endless gibberish. To understand how right I am, just look at how my original post (which you quoted) was deleted. That’s telling. Also, the Nazis killed MILLIONS of people, including handicapped people, black people, jewish people, and more. I will NEVER compare our current form of terrorists to them, simply because I do not yet have to. If you can’t understand how enormous the differences are between the two groups, then you have no sense of history and should stop speaking on the subject.

To another who just posted, I am 22 years old and 9/11 doesn’t define me. What happened is an important part of my life, and it’s an important thread in the fabric of American history, but for anyone to say “it defines me” is sad. 9/11 was a huge ordeal in my life, your life, our lives, but it shouldn’t make us who we are. How we deal with it and grow beyond a “revenge” thought is how ultimately defines us (if at all). That’s the truth on a number of levels.
