"America is the greatest, freest and most decent society in existence. It is an oasis of goodness in a desert of cynicism and barbarism. This country, once an experiment unique in the world, is now the last best hope for the world." ~ Dinesh D'Souza

I was going to post a very moving and touching tribute to the memories of those Americans whose lives were taken prematurely on September eleventh, two thousand and one, at the Pentagon in Washington, the World Trade Center in New York City, and that nondescript field in Pennsylvania.
I was going to write a blog entry about the significance of the terrorist attacks on America on that fateful day.
I was going to remind both of my readers how that attack 8 years ago today had changed America. How it intensified our resolve to fight tyranny and hatred all over the world. How we responded to the attacks with renewed patriotism, and how we Americans, as one people, with one voice, rose up in unity to protect our rights as free people to defend our country and her people against fanatical Islamic terrorists.
I was going to write an inspirational post reminding my two readers that America is still the greatest country in the world. Self-governing and free.
Yes, I was going to create a blog post about all those things, and it would have been both moving and encouraging.
But, like most Americans (or so it appears), I have forgotten that anything happened on that day.

Your First Amendment right to free speech is a privilege and comes with a measure of responsibility. You have the right to exercise that responsibility here but we reserve the right to inform you when you've used that right irresponsibly.
We are benevolent dictators in this regard. Enjoy.

And did we see our Mr Obama taking the time, during his FIRST year of presidency, to visit the actual Ground Zero?
