9/11—Never Forget!
We mustn’t forget 9/11 because the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. There are always barbarians at the gates, wanting inside. And they will wreak havoc if we open the doors. 9/11 is symbolic of that, and always will be.
It is interesting that the radical Islamic threat isn’t as much in the news today as it was 20, or even 10, years ago. The death of Osama bin Laden may have something to do with that, but probably, more than anything, they don’t perceive America as the threat they perceived us to be a decade or so ago. We aren’t fighting any wars over there now; if we leave them alone, they will probably leave us alone. They are still worth watching, of course; they always will be. But the Islamic threat wasn’t what it used to be.
Or maybe it’s because we have a bigger threat now. And I don’t mean China. I mean from withing. America’s greatest enemy right now is the Leftist movement, within in the country, that is trying to overthrow America and destroy the freedoms we have always enjoyed. The barbarians aren’t just at the gates now, folks; they are already inside. They are called “Democrats.”
China, Islam, Russia—no enemy will scale the walls of America until those walls have been lowered from within. 9/11 is a reminder of the threats we still face from without. But those threats will be meaningless if we don’t first defeat the enemy within.
