It’s 9/11, Time to Celebrate

Six years after the terrorist attack (note, I didn’t say Cheney’s demolition) on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. we have an ever growing amount of disinformation and hysteria rivaling the Kennedy assassination for its theories. While the people who claim it was all an inside job by neo-cons fail to explain why they aren’t in death camps yet, we can amuse ourselves by watching the spectacle of Communists trying to sell you crap and people marching around in silly costumes making a mockery of their mental disorders. 

9/11 was a tragedy in so many ways. Probably one of the worst is the fact that we have had to give up way too much freedom so that bureaucratic goons can have even more power over people’s lives and privacy. Osama is still out there making bad videos Democrats still agree with half the things he says. Meanwhile, the real terrorist industry, which is the fear business is in full swing with daily stories about global warming disasters, obesity epidemics and how everything you eat and do will give you cancer.

9/11 was a horrible tragedy, but so is our continued acceptance of a self righteous culture that continues to encroach on people’s liberties and takes away our choices in the name of bogus threats.

Outrage has become an industry and everyone is trying to make a buck off it. Everyone has some axe to grind and few people are bothering to look for real solutions to problems. Too often people are trying to get laws passed that limit what some other people do. And all teh while we box ourselves in with stupid regulations that do nothing to really benefit anyone except those in power.

They have named 9/11 Patriot Day. Well, I suggest we use it as a day to reflect on how messed up things have gotten in six years and how we can best straighten things out. We can start by rejecting the calls for more restrictions on our freedoms. And go from there.

Terrorism is no excuse for bureaucracy. Neither is it an excuse for stupidity. People on both sides are disgusted with our so called leaders. I think we need to look at an overhaul come 2008.

If you’d told me on 9/12 that in 2007, 30% of Americans would believe 9/11 was an inside job by Bush, I have said you were completely batshit insane.
But that’s where we are.
The denial powers of the lefties have staggered even me, and I live in San Francisco, the city Berkeley thinks is “too leftist.”
You and I could write pages on the situation, but I’ll limit myself to one thing: even on 9/11 the MSM began censoring the coverage, as it would be “too upsetting.”  As the months went by, more and more images and videos were quietly buried, crossed off on the “too upsetting” list.  By the next year, few MSM outlets showed any images except the most innocuous: claiming, in effect, “it would just get the rubes riled up.”
This year, I’ve seen at least two articles (one in the Pravda of America, the NYT) wringing their hands and saying perhaps we’re making too much out of remembering 9/11 and maybe it’s time to stop doing even the limp-dicked retrospectives they’ve been reluctantly churning out.
Now, compare and contrast with the Katrina coverage.
Graphic photos and video published and shown over and over for days, months, and eventually, years?  Check.
Months of hysterical reporting?  Check.
Comprehensive early memorials complete with race-bating, Bush-bashing, and hours of he most graphic images and videos?  Check.
That thing going down in flames over there is your parcel of lame justifications, dear MSM.  (Or perhaps a cruise missile secretly controlled by the CIA.)
The MSM is, perhaps, not our enemy.  But they are certainly on the other side.

(PS: Did you know the Federal government relief for New Orleans alone (only one of the areas badly hit by Katrina) has already topped $425,000 per person?  Now, maybe it’s just me, but I think we’ve done enough.)

They hate 9/11 because they see that as something Republicans used as a tool to gain power, whereas Katrina is something the left has used as a tool to try to discredit the administration. So they show their bias by doing katrina all the time. Katrina aid is one of the biggest scams of the century (after GW). There is so much crime going on there it makes Iraq contractor stuff look mild.

Update:  I’m informed MSNBC broadcast large amounts of raw footage, including some of the most tragic.  So big props to them.  If they refrained from having some liberal pontificate over the images about how it was all our fault, even better.
