One of my ninjas just emailed an article from the Guardian<\/a>, which coincidentally mentions today’s subject Adam Kokesh<\/a> and his antics on September 11th last week;<\/p>\n

Activist Adam Kokesh is in full flight. He claims the attacks of 11 September had a goal, “and the goal was to make America look like it does today”. Angry whoops from the floor. This is a gathering of people who are extremely unhappy about what America looks like today. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In other words, somehow we succumbed to the terrorist’s desire to change America. I don’t know what he means, because aside from some increased security measures, nothing has really changed, except for the fact that we don’t have much tolerance for anti-war groups like we had thirty years ago, which only makes sense since we’ve witnessed how the lazy, socialist hippies of the sixties have changed America.<\/p>\n

I suppose he means exactly that…since we all didn’t fall down on our knees and thank our God for the Kokesh candidacy for Congress in New Mexico and pulled together from across the country to stand athwart his path to Washington and his “xanax and gin<\/a>” campaign.<\/p>\n

He hates TAH and the fact that someone stood outside of one of his whistlestops and passed out hard copies of TAH posts about him, but he’ll never mention how TSO offered to help him unscrew his VA claim for PTSD (an offer TSO has made to several IVAW members, former or otherwise). Is that what he meant by his comment about post-9\/11 America? That veterans reach across the political divide to help each other?<\/p>\n

Remembering the attacks of 9-11-2001 is supposed to make us appreciate that we live in this country, that boneheads like Kokesh can stand on a street corner and criticize the country as much as they want without fear of governmental retribution. But just because the government can’t take action against him, doesn’t mean that the rest of us can’t as private citizens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
