Today we remember the horrific terrorist attacks of 9/11. At least some Americans do. Radical Muslims and the Obama administration have attempted to turn this remembrance into–for the radical Muslims–a symbol of their triumph; for the Obama administration–a National Day of Service. Both would prefer that Americans do anything but remember 9/11.
The politicization of 9/11 is unfortunate. 9/11 should be a day that unites Americans. It should be the day Americans recall that they are at war. But the Left does not want that. The politicization of 9/11 happened almost immediately after the attacks. Recall the “I am American” ad campaigns run on many stations. The Left was fearful that Americans would end their anti-American revolution, ending multiculturalism, and putting paid to the Left’s dreams of transforming America. That did not happen. And each anniversary, the Left tries to move the remembrance and reflection of the day toward something, anything, else. A day of service (to the government). To this, the radical Muslims have stuck a finger in America’s eye through the mosque at the 9/11 site in New York City. The radical Muslims know that if they push, and keep pushing, America will cave. The Left has successfully hollowed out the American character so that what would have been unthinkable 20 years ago, is now fact.
Each 9/11 anniversary Americans should remember the attacks for what they were. Not what radical Muslims and the Left want to make 9/11. Remember 9/11. Remember those who died in such horrific circumstances. Remember the shock and the pain. “Never forget” sounds trite but it is so important. The Left wants you to forget. Let’s stick a finger in the Left’s eye, and remember 9/11 for what it is.
