Ok... Here is where I am at with 9/11........

[pooja]

A tragic event happened on 9/11. People died in America due to planes, bombs, or whatever you want to believe or whoever you want to blame. These people are still dead. They are not going to come back. The loss is horrible. It was unexpected.

Its time to move forward. Why are democrats continuing the song and dance of WAR on TERROR? Its a farce. Its made up. No one will ever win the WAR on TERROR. If there is one person with a single aim and goal to kill another, it is possible no matter what... "where their is a will, their is a way". What we need to examine is what has happened to America now. We have a diminished Consitution (the Patriot Act suficely took care of that). We have concentration camps. We have torture. We have mono-synthesized education with no thought outside of the box. We import everything. We have become a welfare state (or had nobody noticed the foreclosing of homes, selling America piece by piece, and loss of viable jobs).

So, on this 9/11--a silent prayer-- and then move on. Its time to take back our country. It is ours. We are the ones who sweat in it, toil in it, cry in it, fund it, live in it, love it. Remember that love of America. I still feel swelling pride when I look at the flag. I am amazed at a symbol so simple as stripes and stars can make me feel proud, free, and embolden to continue the vision of our forefathers. I look at my son, and I want him to know that pride. I want him to look at these years as a bad time in history... like we do when we look back through America's past and recognize that we can improve.

We abolished slavery with the Civil War. It is ironic that one Republican would set black men free, and another would enslave us all.
