Assorted Babble by Suzie
There are many liberals that are remembering 9/11. I do agree that this should be a non-partison issue. I believe that many of the bigger liberal blogs don't want to be accussed of politicizing 9/11.
Liberals are so deluded that they think if they ignore something it will go away. Well, 9-11 showed us that ignoring things didn't make them go away. I have a pretty angry post about it and I don't really care if anyone is offended by it. I'm very saddened that so many Americans don't seem to care one way or the other.
I agree with you, Suzie, and Rae Ann as well! It's very upsetting that Americans cannot come together on the subject of terrorism; that many far left-wingers just want to use terrorism as their agenda to bash President Bush. They refuse to pull their heads out of the sand. I don't know what it's going to take to wake them up!
Thank you friends for commenting. If America does not wake up soon....and I mean that seriously...The Islamic radicals will take over our country. It is time to stop it RIGHT NOW!!! They are surrounding us and are in our country in large numbers. Saudi Arabia are building Mosques at astonishing rates...right here in the U.S. There are Billions of Muslims in the World and millions are fascist. They will fight to their death to kill us.
John Hagee has a brand new Series on World War III and it is powerful as well as his book, that I have named Jerusalem Countdown. This series is fact based, not preachy...but connects the dots....I would advise everyone if you desire to watch it.
Didn't Bill Clinton lament that 9/11 didn't happen on his watch?
9/11 was handled brilliantly by Pres. Bush. The fact that the economy is booming and unemployment is at 4.5% is unbelievable considering the events just 5 years ago. To liberals, 9/11 is a failure for them, especially considering that more and more Americans are waking up to the reality that Bill clinton let bin Laden go and the entire 9/11 disaster could have been avoided. This doesn't mean we wouldn't have been attacked, but clearly he was negligent in his duties to protect America. The current politicking of Democrats only buttresses this point.
So 9/11 is nothing for libs to commemorate. They cannot see past their own failed ambitions and take a moment to honor the lives that were lost on 9/11. Osama bin Laden said that as much as America loves life is how much Muslims love death. Unfortunately, Democrats seem to side with Osama.

See what happend to a democrat in Virginia who tried to demagogue it.
The progressives don't want to put too much emphasis on 9/11 because it reminds ppl that they have been weak on defense and that terrorists attacks prior to 9/11 were either ignored or responded to in a weak way.
They think by remembering what happened we are 'exploiting' 9/11 for political purposes. It seems everything is political - not that we just need to remember together as Americans.
"Ones Blogging on 9/11 are Conservatives only Why?" -- surely you are joking? Some backup stats would be useful otherwise your posting smells a little. You have no idea who is and is not blogging about this horrible event. This should be a non-partisan event, yet here we have someone (you) trying to politicise it.
ausurfer,
Have YOU blogged on 9/11? I would be interested to hear your non-partisan remarks on this event.
There are many liberals that are remembering 9/11.
Can you point us to any liberal blogs that are commemorating 9/11?
I do agree that this should be a non-partison issue. I believe that many of the bigger liberal blogs don't want to be accussed of politicizing 9/11.
Hehe...the very nature of "liberal blogs" is political, just as the injection of the word "conservative" is political. Beth said it best. How does avoiding the topic make for avoidance of a political stance/statement? Their very silence on the matter speaks something about their mindset. Read my tribute post. Tell me, where exactly did I infuse my post with politicization?

Suzie:For some people avoiding the pain is easier. I know that I struggled writing something and didn't post it because it was too emotional. However many of the liberal sites I have seen don't even mention it at all! None of their commenters do either. I think it is because if they comment, they will be faced with the harsh truth that we cannot allow everyone into our country and must take precautionary measures especially against Islamofacism. But liberals never want to admit that Islamofacism exists. Hope you have a great rest of week.
Can you point us to any liberal blogs that are commemorating 9/11?
Yes, mine! There are also numerous other left-leaning blogs that have very wonderful and touching tributes.
My point is that that 9/11 should not be manipulated to make some political statement. The 2,996 project was a wonderful idea, and I was honored to join several conservative and liberal bloggers to pay fitting tributes to those who died on 9/11. There are no political statements or opinions in my tribute posts.
I’d like you to explain to me why the #1 liberal blog (DailyKos) had only post after post of “9/11” and criticizing Bush? MANY OF THEM, one after another. Not a single one was just a remembrance.
Want to get political and truth at the same time? I recommend you read Dereliction of Duty.

Another liberal hypocrisy.
When all is said and done, the only passionate group of people don't fall on the left side of the fence. Suzie, your observations are correct.
About the politicking of 9/11, the only ones doing it are the liberals.
Can you point us to any liberal blogs that are commemorating 9/11?
Yes, mine! There are also numerous other left-leaning blogs that have very wonderful and touching tributes.
I did look at your blog after commenting. I still think that you are the exception to the rule. I visited a number of liberal blogs and if they weren't being hateful and Bush-blaming, they were silent. You can always find exceptions; but I think they are far outnumbered. And how exactly did President Bush "politicize" 9/11 in his speech? How is it that the Democratic leadership isn't constantly politicizing, whether it be 9/11 or our military and the war in Iraq?
Aargh! Messed up on the quoting and italicizing; sorry...you folks'll have to recruit a couple of brain cells to distinguish where BigNewsDay's comment ends, and mine begins.
More of a refelction on the reality of 9/11.
First let me apologise to you the reader for the length of this article. I could have made it much longer with many juicy titbits (Although I wouldn’t myself see them as that) or I could have made it much shorter, but that would not have conveyed the essence of what I wanted to say. Therefore please forgive this intrusion on your time and I hope that some of what I say penetrates into your heart.
World war three has begun. The question is whose side are you on. Myself, I am on the side of justice and that makes it even more difficult because I see great injustices being committed on both sides. America with its allies the UK and parts of Europe are the world dominating force with China waiting in the wings for their chance to subvert the US away from its plot.
Unfortunately my own background in special forces has left me with a bitter taste from experience and knowledge gained over nearly a decade in the field. I have seen atrocities go unpunished for the greater geopolitical goal. I have witnessed the aftermath of Serbian bombardments on highly populated areas that have been left unreported in the news.
Most of us (but not all) live in microcosms seeing a hazy picture as drawn up by the world media, most of which is constructed around lies and the countries own political agenda. It is only when you travel to the countries in which the war is being fought and you talk to those living their can you truly appreciate what I am saying.
Most of us (but not all) are armchair analysts, never having witnessed any of what we have heard for ourselves. Our world is constructed around what they want us to listen to and what they want us to see.
Let us take for example the language of war. We see everyday on the news, in the papers, hear on the radio the "The War on Terror" most people are ignorant of what this war is (but not all). One mans ‘terrorist’ is another mans ‘freedom fighter’. It has took me many soul searching years to bring to life the reality of what I know and now I want you to realise the truth not my truth but the plain facts. The facts that point to, "There is no just war being fought by the aggressors."
What we are really in is a war that started decades ago against the forces of communism (coined the cold war) this war has not stopped. Imperialism and colonialism and the greed for the worlds resources has not stopped. This is the last war that we will face globally and you should all be aware that it is now building up to its climax.
China has still to enter the game fully, it is game but it is not funny. Why do they call it war games? War is death and destruction and the killing of the innocent is incidental and readily acceptable as collateral damage.
I am on the side of justice and justice has not entered the arena yet! Now, I am a civilian, but things are not any easier when I read how the Psyops war is being won by countries against their own people.
It is a well known fact if you tell someone enough times something in different ways they will begin to believe it, even if it is not totally true (Yes , I have studied Psychology). The way is simple you start with some truth then you mix the truth with some lies, then the lies with a little truth until the people are confused and begin to say well it must be true because the BBC reported or it was on Fox news etc....
The only truth is the real truth and that comes from being there and being a witness to it because reportable truths need a spin to make them attractive.
Let us return to the language of terror. Terror means a fear something that you fear. Before September 11th there was nothing to fear, but now lurking in every hotel, airport lobby or university hall is a potential terrorist not a freedom fighter, not an insurgent, not a guerrilla. However, our soldiers are fighters for truth and justice, infantry men, artillery operators, bomb controllers and commandos. Our agents are secret service, CIA, FBI, MI5 or SO13. Names, names how they use language to play games with the minds of the people.
What is dangerous is an out of touch free thinker who doesn't conform to the process of indoctrination. Who has managed to break out of the controlling forces and see the truth. the reality of war and the lies that entrench the hearts and minds of the masses (but not all).
Ask the Palestine woman, what happened to your family. "They came at night and took away my sons". Ask the kossovian what happened to your house. "They blew it up". Ask the Iraqi woman (if you was alive) why did they rape and kill your family, "My daughter was taken into a separate room and her clothes ripped off and repeatedly raped then they killed her and burnt her body. How ugly is the reality for which many of us are subjugated to (but not all).
If you want to know the truth about this war the last of the wars. Then go to the places these wars are being fought and speak with the people who are enduring the suffering in the name of peace, democracy and freedom. My question is whose peace, democracy and freedom, one mans ‘terrorist’ is another mans ‘freedom fighter’ and the victor writes the history.
Wordsmith,
I mean no disrespect, but politicians on both sides politicize everything. That's what they do. This is especially relevant in an election year such as this. Both sides will continue to do this in order to make the other look bad. Unfortunately, that's what the political arena has come to in this country.
Thank you Suzie for letting me share a more left-leaning point of view. I would have liked to see more liberals do stories about the people who died that day, instead of using it as a campaign talking point, but many republicans did that as well.
The conservatives that organized the 2,996 Bloggers project did a wonderful thing. My hats off to them, and it was an honor to take part in such a great tribute.
I mean no disrespect,
Well, of course not! Your argument is very reasonable. It's just that the liberal blogs I scouted around reflected Suzie's post. And yes, both sides politicize. Although I would disagree with the likes of Senator Reid that President Bush's 9/11 speech was more political than presidential.
