I’m probably going to offend a few people this morning with what I have to say.
Listening to the words of interviewers and those who lost loved ones and speakers standing behind podiums at Ground Zero this morning, six years after the Day that Changed America Forever, I am left feeling that it is time to move on. We do not move on by repeating the names of those who died and referring to them as “victims” every year. Grief is real and doesn’t ever go away completely, but we are not looking at 9-11 in the correct light. That day was not just a terrorist act, it was an act of war. The men and women that died that day were casualties in the war that continues today. We have to come to grips with what it all truly signifies.
Just yesterday I had a discussion with one of the brightest friends I know — and as is often the case with such a brain, he is an atheist, believing all organized religion to be fantasy.
While he has a right to his opinion, I took the time to remind him that regardless of how he might feel spiritually about his role in the universe, there can be no denying that Christianity (and Judaism) are a central part of Western Culture, and without these influences we would not be the people we are today.
In light of the latest hypocrisy from Iran’s president, I have a few things to say today:
History will prove that the only thing that has weakened American Democracy has been our own stupid willingness to toss away the Western values upon which the Founding Fathers crafted it. There is nothing weak about the U.S. Republic when it is not meddled with by minority revisionists and enemies both foreign and domestic.

As the holidays approach, I just wanted to take a moment to consider the events of the past few years. I know that each of us, including visitors to this site, have most likely undergone changes, loss, love and more since 9/11. Sometimes it gets overwhelming, othertimes it seems like a fight that will never end and one that we question more than a few times each month, but in the end, I think we all come to the same conclusion: that to give up on the efforts of our soldiers, lawmakers, police and every other person that makes sacrifices to provide our children with a brighter future, well, to give up on them would be nothing short of foolish and cowardly.
