The 20th aniversary.
4 years ago
Twenty years ago, the United States was attacked. Twenty years ago, we, as a nation, were targeted by terrorists. Republicans were attacked. Democrats were attacked. Liberals were attacked. Green Party people were attacked. We, as America, were attacked. They didn't give two shits about our politics, or our race, or our beliefs. All they cared about was hurting us.
We were hurt, but we came together. We came back strong and hard. We whupped their asses. We showed them what America could do. What Americans, as a people, could do. Not Whites, not Blacks, not Asians, or Latinos, we were as one.
We need that unity again. We need to come together as one. We fell apart, into feuding, into woke propaganda, into trying not to offend anybody instead of calling out bullshit when we see it. Or in a similar vein, crying out bullshit, where there was none. I could point out which side has the longest track record of this, but the truth is, that would only rub salt in the wounds. We have enemies. Real threats, real dangers lurk in our midst.
China, Iran, Russia, North Korea, they all want to destroy us to varying degrees. Worse, we are a nation without a leader. Biden has repeatedly showed us that he cannot be counted on to act with anybody's best interests, not even his own.
However, we can survive this. We can be strong. If we pause and think before acting, we can overcome things, even without leadership at the top. We must be willing to do things and think for ourselves. Do facts line up with hype or stories? Is a reputation deserved? We cannot trust the media anymore. They exist only for ratings.
We must be smart, skeptical, and not quick to judge. We must look beyond the surface nowadays to be strong. And we can do that. I know we can be strong again.
