PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS DECIDED TO SKIP THE SEPTEMBER 11TH MEMORIAL SERVICES. IT’S THE FIRST TIME THAT AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT HAS DECLINED TO ATTEND AN OFFICIAL MEMORIAL CEREMONY IN EITHER WASHINGTON OR NEW YORK CITY OR PENNSYLVANIA. INSTEAD, HE’S GOING TO BE IN ALASKA.
AS AMERICANS PAUSE TO REMEMBER THOSE KILLED AND THE HORRIBLE ATROCITIES OF THAT DAY, OUR COMMANDER IN CHIEF WILL BE IN MIA.
IT’S NOT ALL THAT SURPRISING, TO BE HONEST. THE DEMOCRATS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF ERASING OUR HISTORY. THEY WANT PEOPLE TO FORGET ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON THAT DAY.
MUCH LIKE THEY WANT PEOPLE TO FORGET ABOUT THE FOUNDING OF OUR NATION AND THE CIVIL WAR.
I WROTE A BOOK ABOUT THIS – “CULTURE JIHAD: HOW TO STOP THE LEFT FROM KILLING A NATION.” CLICK HERE TO GET A COPY.
THE TALIBAN DID THE SAME THING. WHENEVER THEY INVADED A NATION THEY WOULD TARGET CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS. MUSEUMS AND THEATERS. LIBRARIES. THEY WOULD LITERALLY TURN THE NATION’S CULTURE INTO A PILE OF RUBBLE.
IN AMERICA’S CASE – THIS HAS BEEN A BLOODLESS JIHAD. BUT DEMOCRATS HAVE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL AT ERASING OUR HISTORY. TEARING DOWN EVERY STATUE. EVERY MONUMENT. RENAMING PARKS AND BUILDINGS AND STREETS.
IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE – CITY LEADERS ACTUALLY DUG UP THE DEAD BODIES OF A CONFEDERATE WAR GENERAL AND HIS WIFE. NOT EVEN THE DEAD ARE ALLOWED TO REST IN PEACE.
THEY RENAMED CONFEDERATE PARK AND REMOVED A STATUE OF JEFFERSON DAVIS. INSTEAD, CITY LEADERS ERECTED A STATUE OF A GIANT HAIR PICK – AND A BLACK POWER FIST.
[TAKE :VO BLACK POWER STATUE]
“THOSE THAT FAIL TO LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT.” THAT’S WHAT WINSTON CHURCHILL ONCE SAID.
THE FIRST STEP IS TO ERASE HISTORY. AND THEN, REWRITE HISTORY. THAT’S WHY AMERICAN SCHOOL KIDS ARE BEING TAUGHT THAT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WERE RACISTS AND DOMESTIC TERRORISTS. THAT’S WHY KIDS DON’T KNOW THAT IT WAS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THAT LED THE EFFORT TO FREE THE SLAVES IN THE 1860S AND IT WAS REPUBLICANS WHO FOUGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS IN THE 1960’S. AND THAT’S WHY MOST CHILDREN IN THIS NATION HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001.
BUT WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT ON SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001 A GANG OF MUSLIM RADICALS HIJACKED AIRLINERS, FLEW THEM INTO BUILDINGS AND KILLED THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN CITIZENS IN THE NAME OF THEIR FAITH – THE RELIGION OF PEACE. UNIMAGINABLE HORROR. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
BUT SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENED ON THAT DAY.
WHEN PASSENGERS ABOARD ANOTHER JETLINER FOUGHT BACK. REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS. GAY AND STRAIGHT. BLACK AND WHITE. WHEN THEY LEARNED OF THAT THE TOWERS HAD FALLEN. AND THE PENTAGON WAS ON FIRE – THEY CONCOCTED A PLAN – TO FIGHT BACK. BUT ONLY AFTER THEY CAST THEIR BALLOTS. AND VOTED ON WHAT TO DO.
AND LIKE SO MANY OF OUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN DOWN THROUGH THE AGES – THE MEN AND WOMEN ON FLIGHT 93 PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. THEY GAVE THEIR LIVES SO THAT OTHERS MIGHT LIVE. THERE IS NO GREATER LOVE. SUCH COURAGE. SUCH NOBLE VALOR.
THOSE ARE THE STORIES AND THE LESSONS THAT WE MUST NEVER FORGET. OUR CHILDREN AND OUR CHILDREN’S CHILDREN MUST LEARN OF THE GREAT EVIL OF THAT DAY. BUT THEY ALSO MUST LEARN OF THE GREAT GOOD OF THAT DAY. WE MUST NEVER FORGET.
