Reflecting on the Actions of Murder
There’s been much talk in the news lately about the new film United 93.
What’s all the fuss? Well, it’s not about the fact that the film is tastefully done, or sticks to facts as closely as possible.
The argument is that it’s too soon after the events of 9/11 to be making a film about it.
Bullchips.
Seen any photos lately from 9/11? Maybe a few seconds of video? A few? Not sure?
My bet is that you’ve heard “9/11″ in speeches from President Bush. Or at the least, in political circles.
I don’t know about YOU, but 9/11 made me mad. MAD. I wanted the bad guys found, and dealt with. I wasn’t alone. A country united said and felt the same way.
A little over 4 years later, we’ve got a mess of Dem bulbs out there saying we shouldn’t be in Iraq. Or Afghanistan. In fact, we’ve no business over there at all. We should come back home, everyone hold hands, sing Kum Ba Ya, and apologize to the terrorists for putting those stupid towers up because, y’know, 9/11 was really America’s fault, and America stinks, and Bush Lied ™ …
In the meantime, we should open our borders, allow those that are illegal to be legalized, and those of us that can afford [or can't for that matter] to pay our taxes get the honor of paying for the services that illegals are using now, because we’re America, dammit, and we have so much anyway, that we owe the rest of the world a living.
Give Me A Friggin’ Break.
If more people had 9/11 on their minds more often, I think things would be different. And I don’t mean verbally in politics. I mean in photos. In videos. In the calls of those that used their cell phones on the planes.
We Americans need to be fired up and pissed off about the whole situation that was created on 9/11, and how we’ve become so hands-off about the whole situation now.
Too soon for United 93? No. Not soon enough.
Remember the Alamo? Remember Pearl Harbor? Enough passions ran hot for those events, and rightfully so, to set actions in motion that made the world a better place.
Remember 9/11?
In your ears. In your eyes. In your hearts. In your rage as Americans, you absolutely should.
