Never forget 9/11?

.
.
It has already been forgotten, and put on a back shelf. Fear of another attack was high, now it too is gone. What we have left is a campaign for president in which we have someone who supports the continued war against the perpetrators of 9/11 versus a “man” who would have immediately dialed Bin Laden and asked for parley. We have a man who himself would have retaliated, probably no better or worse than President Bush versus a man who would have offered reparations to solve the issues of our transgression (yours and mine, not his per se). We have come so far in 7 years, we might as well not have been attacked, thanks to a president who did what was necessary, obviously. Actually, we have lost ground on social and fiscal grounds and internationally, apparently returning to the hippie 60’s and 70’s era politics. Hopefully, in another 10 or 20 years, most of that disease will be dead, some of them buried, others just stinking up the place as they always have.

I still remember Democrats complaining out of one side of their mouth that President Bush was not doing enough. He sent too few troops, even McCain joined them here. As the President knew, I suspect, the full force of the military could not be tied to one spot, and a spot very far away. With real nuclear and other WMDs in these modern times, and with the probability that muslims own these, the risk was too great. Sending what we did was a very risky, if necessary, thing. As well, the possibility that troops would be needed elsewhere, even domestically, had to be given weight in considerations. Once more surety was had, more troops went, if not “exactly” when it had become clearer that they were secure there might be arguable. Though, when facing muslims with WMDs, how safe is it, ever? As for delivering democracy to Iraq, I actually think that was a forced issue. Part of the propaganda (yes, it happens on both sides) for the war was this notion, I think he was held to it by the very people who opposed the invasion, a talking point and expense by our communists, not a humanitarian issue. They would happily see our troops die in vast swaths (and try to make it so when they have a president or just congress (Somalia, U.N. run Yugo thing, de-funding of South Vietnam, demands for the withdrawal from Iraq, etc.), and they would happily welcome another Katrina, though they need a democratic controlled state so that the incompetence of the thing can be placed at the feet of D.C. While, out of the other side of their mouths, they were complaining that he was not doing enough, wanting more money for everything but that which has proven to have worked. Preparedness only goes so far, especially when channeled through the corrupt Democratic Principalities, such as NYC and such. Spending money preparing for an attack while attempting to de-fund an offensive defense has proven foolish, and the elections may well bear this out, if they follow the logic of the thing in that our wars and current laws have prevented attacks while preparing for the attacks (all that extra money spent) has done nothing.

I am amazed that in the time since the attack, Americans have moved further from God, from country, and closer to the leftism which has both invited the attack and welcomed it. The nation seems more split, with a stronger Democratic party than before, at least if it had not been for the sparing between minority groups vying for the main office. John McCain would be a Democrat in any other age of America, and a left leaning one at that. He is not another President Bush, he is an L.B.J to Bush's Kennedy-like style perhaps. Whatever, he is creepy. And Palin is the democrat’s and feminist’s so called dream woman, one they could never produce however, often due to the rest of the soft issues the left has in connecting with mainstream Americans, or lying to them well enough to get past that. And, the left has underestimated the sexism involved. Those women who would have voted for Hillary, were, many of them, voting for the vagina. Have no doubts. If she had been Rice, I bet the black vote, too, would have become divided as well. Only "minorities" may be unimpeachably prejudiced in this nation, legally and morally, anyway, and according to the left.

Yes, 9/11 has been forgotten. The victims are buried. Unlike broadcasters who, even today, said they did not want to call them victims, as if that sullied their name, I call the people who died that day what they were! (On Fox, you know.) A new building is going up, being planned, whatever. A crescent shaped memorial, pointing correctly to satisfy the most ardent muslim, is underway for the victims of flight 93 (last I heard, thanks for that people, appeasement is so tasty, like key-lime cyanide pie). And, the American people are voting for a socialist pig and feminist who might defend them versus a muslim communist pig who most certainly will not defend them. And, I am left to write this, hoping it will not get me arrested. Still, as someone once pondered aloud, half in query, maybe it does not get better than this?

No worries, until they knock on my door and take me away (and maybe even then), I can still laugh about some of it (come on, dumbo, the three stooges parodies when Hillary was still in, anything Mugambe, I mean, Obomber says, most of the arse seeking reporter reports (those noses look like shoe polish has been applied), the foolishness of the thing (even if it is sad to see a horse die, watching it run IN TO a burning barn can be considered humorous should nothing be possible to stop or alter the thing, if darkly… I can do that), and watching feminists rip themselves to shreds deciding if Palin is, indeed, a woman (reminds me of the 60’s to 70’s Olympics gaffes, with three judge's hands down a “female” Russian Olympian, one saying “It’s a boy”, another, “It’s a girl”, a third saying “It’s both!”). If I were a monkey, like one of the runners-up in the "most stupid" contest, but in a cage where I belonged, I would be flinging merde and laughing the whole time. I suppose as a gaffer, I am predisposed to gaffs, suspicion, doubts, and a decent share of humor, if some of it dark. Still, that 9/11 has been lost on a people who could be great and who have shown grace and wisdom at times, it is a bitter pill, one of the saddest I have had to swallow.

I almost thought about just saying what I think, but decided against it. Anyway...
