While we pause to remember the people who died nine years ago this morning in New York City, Arlington, VA and Shanksville, PA, it is hard for me to avoid reflecting on the total morons who’ve sullied the memory of that morning. Like this dink at Democratic Underground<\/a> who tried to demonstrate to us that Rosie O’Donnell was right that fire can’t melt steel.<\/p>\n

Or the mental midgets at Veterans Today<\/a> who tell us to NOT remember 9-11.<\/p>\n

Or the Southern Poverty Law Center<\/a> which prefers that we remember 9-11 for the supposed bigotry it spawned.<\/p>\n

Or the Iraq Veterans Against the War<\/a> who ask us to remember who we were BEFORE 9-11. Since they block us, here’s a sample;<\/p>\n

I’ve seen the effects of the nine years since September 11th, and the biggest damage has not been in the loss of the towers, or even the loss of life. The greatest damage, as in ancient Greek tragedies, is not in what others do to us, but in what we have done to ourselves. We prided ourselves on our civil liberties as a country, but now our words, our books, and our movements can be watched without any justification in the name of Terrorism. We talked of openness and tolerance in every part of our lives-but now, in the heart of New York City, prejudice rears its ugly head and people who should know better conflate a religion with an act. We are losing the best parts of ourselves out of fear.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, the worst result of that day was this supposed bigotry and not the loss of thousands of innocent Americans who were punished for merely being Americans, or more accurately, being in America that day. And I guess that’s not a form of bigotry at all, is it?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
