9/11/11

It’s just around the corner and the ceremony has been set.  They’re limiting access at the World Trade Center to family members so they won’t have any stinking fire fighters or rescue personnel there.  Well, they explain that they wanted the moment to be special for those families who lost loved ones there that day, as if firefighters and rescue people lost nobody.  These insensitive, ignorant and snobbish government elitists make me so sick I could just puke. 

On that day, September 11, 2001, the world stood together.  All of us, black, white, brown, green, Republican, Democrat, future Tea Party members, short, fat, tall, Catholic, Jew, Presbyterian…. Just about all of us stood together, shoulder-to-shoulder, elbow-to-elbow and hand-in-hand; the Muslims stood across the street making plans for their new Mosque.   

I don’t think any of us who were alive then will ever forget those awful moments, standing in front of TV sets in our living rooms, shopping malls, offices… and watching the ugly scenes unfolding before us while waiting for the next tragedy to make its appearance.  Most of us were not there on the streets of New York City or Washington; we were not onboard the planes or in the buildings, but we all felt the pain and the fear. 

We looked to Washington for leadership and our President bumbled his way through things, but that didn’t matter; at least his words gave us some comfort in knowing that whoever did these things to us would pay the price.  In this Republic for which our flag stands, we truly stood united, one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all. 

But today, the families of the stinkin’ firefighters and rescue people who gave their lives that day now have no place in this tragedy, no right to share their grief.  And the Muslims across the street, the ones whose brothers perpetrated this day of horror upon us, are getting ready to start their construction. 

God Bless America. 

That’s MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
