But We Have Already Forgotten ~
Every year on September 11, we recognize the worst attack to ever occur on American soil. But, what should have galvanized Americans against the common enemy of radical Islamic terrorism has devolved into a virtue signaling pity-fest of heroic ideation, and a celebration of the attack itself, rather than the resulting consequences we inflicted on our enemy for having attacked America in the first place.
Imagine, if on every December 7th we recognize those who died in Japan’s preemptive attack on America’s Pacific Fleet, and the heroism of those who rescued our survivors, but then failed to acknowledge America’s decisive military retaliation, which eventually led to VJ-Day and the unconditional surrender of Imperial Japan. The difference between these two events is both striking and appalling.
On September 11, 2001, America was first called to patriotic duty by Todd Beamer, who was aboard hijacked United Flight 93, when he famously said, “Let’s Roll.” But, America didn’t roll. It rolled over instead – almost immediately besieged by an America-hating liberal media, who condemned anyone who sought retaliation against the very Islamic terrorism that just claimed 3,000 innocent American lives. In fact, they demanded restraint because “innocent moderate Muslims” might also be blamed.
“No dumb bastard ever won a war by going out and dying for his country. He won it by making some other dumb bastard die for his country.” – George S. Patton Jr., General, U.S. Third Army (North Africa, 1943)
Only 7% of all Germans were members of the Nazi Party, and most weren’t members of the Waffen-SS. Likewise, almost no Japanese civilians were members of Tojo’s Imperial War Cabinet either, but every man, woman and child paid the price – from Dresden, Hamburg, Bremen and Berlin, to Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe and Tokyo. At that time, America was committed to defeat our enemies so completely that they’d never again contemplate an act of aggression against us.
Under Obama’s watch alone, there were 24 domestic Islamic terrorist attacks that slaughtered 132 Americans – from Ft. Hood to the “Pulse” night club. They were followed by the media’s requisite “Muslims Fear Backlash” articles, as if to absolve them from complicity. How many times do you remember Muslim organizations publicly condemning these acts, or demanding peacef and loyalty to the United States? It hasn’t happened yet.
So, another 9/11 has arrived. We play the sad harps, cellos and bagpipes. We ring the bell and read the names slowly once again. We light candles, mourn the innocent lives lost, and salute our heroes. Meanwhile, Muslim training compounds are springing up all across America; Democrat Socialists are demanding open borders, which will spawn even more terrorist cells, and openly opposing immigration bans from known terrorist countries; all while America is in a dead-heat race with European countries to see which will be first to surrender its national identity and sovereignty.
Not only have we forgotten, but It seems as though we’ve learned nothing at all.
I remember 9-11....I am a retired NYPD Detective. I lost many friends that day...
At that moment, on that day, and every day since, I have known only this...
Anger.
Rage.
Fist-clenching, jaw-grinding, impotent rage at the assault on my home, my city, my Country. Rolling through my house in a wheelchair, moving like a caged beast, screaming curses at the obscenities flashing before my eyes. Vowing vengeance and justice for my Country ,my neighbors, my Brothers to God in heaven.
Sound good to you? Well, it Does to me.
Yes, I want this war with islam . I demand it. I demand that violence be visited upon the enemies of my Nation. I just wish that I be one of the fortunate ones who get the chance to face the foes of America, and hurl them screaming into Allah’s arms.
But their ends, for all my labors, would be too quick. I want death for the enemy to be a lingering, burning, screaming, pleading death, just like the 3,000 souls who were murdered that day.
Watching Fox news, I got to see revenge, live and in flaming color. I reveled in the vengeance from the skies, thundering clouds of flames like the anger and wrath of God.
I want war. I want vengeance. I want flaming holy justice to descend upon the enemies of freedom, be they Muslim or Marxist. I want blood in their streets. I want ash in their skies. And I want the cry to ring throughout the land, from the book of Revalations: “Lord, Your anger is upon the wicked is righteous and just!”
If that disturbs, offends, or troubles anyone, tough. Police Officers and Soldiers have 1st Amendment rights, just like YOU do. Your rights are guaranteed by people like me, here and abroad. You are free tonight, because we are ready to keep you safe to do so. Remind a Cop or a soldier today, and when ever you see them how grateful you feel.
No, I won’t forget or forgive, either. Join me today, and every day, in the loss and the anger. The job’s not done. This anger won’t stop, until it is finished..
Do you recall the cowards who burned victims in a cage, and beheaded helpless victims on video? I want to hunt these bastards and their ilk down where ever they hide and exterminate them. No negotiations, No reasoning, No prisoners. Just dead. Years from now, I want their children’s children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.
I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.
I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with “If you don’t behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you”, and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obedience.
I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern God from across the sea and the powerful Americans .. destroyed their forefathers’ wickedness.”
NEVER FORGET... NEVER FORGIVE!!!!!!!
Exactly! Shocking to think less than 7 yrs later the country elected the illegitimate Terrorist In Chief to capitulate to this evil and open the doors to more of this.
