Excerpt:
Eleven years ago, nineteen fanatical Muslims turned hijacked aircraft carrying hundreds of terrified passengers into missiles targeting symbols of American economic might. Nearly 3000 innocents died horribly that day, including hundreds of courageous, selfless first responders making a superhuman effort to rescue their fellow citizens. And for years, when the anniversary of that day rolls around, progressives and their Islamic allies have been rolling their eyes and urging Americans to "get over it."
They're weary of being bummed out by reminders of 9/11. They wish we'd forgive and forget that it happened. Stop bringing it up and "harshing their buzz." Move on, move forward. Some of those people simply don't grasp that we must not forget because we are still at war with the enemy that attacked us that morning; the rest are very much aware that we are still at war, and they want us to forget because they are siding with that enemy.
It may seem impossible for many to believe that that morning could be forgotten – just as it once seemed impossible to believe that our government could erase words like "jihad" and "Islamist" from our national security lexicon, preventing us from even naming or describing the enemy; or that our government could deem a terror attack on our own soil to be "workplace violence" and whitewash it of its Islamic motivation; or that an American President could announce that one of his duties was to "fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear"; or that he could proclaim us one of the world's largest Muslim countries.
