Never Forget. Ever.

Yesterday night I was watching a documentary on Fox News about 9/11. I watched a cloud of dust engulf the space where the towers used to be. I saw people screaming, crying, running, dying. And I thought, there is no freaking way that the people who did this to MY COUNTRY are going to build their mosque anywhere near there. No way. I would march down there myself and... I don't know, do something, if my parents would let me. :/

Pastor Jones, who I've been hearing a bit about, the one who was/is going to burn Korans today? While I question the truth of his statement that the imam was going to move the mosque if Jones didn't burn the Koran, what happened on msnbc yesterday morning was simply unbelievable.

On Morning Joe, they called the guy in just to lecture him and implore him not to burn the Koran, and then they cut him off. He said nothing. They wouldn't let him. The last thing they said on the matter was, "And I think that's all we need to hear about that." Yeah, all we need to hear and then some. Since when is it the job of a news organization to lecture someone on morals and not give them a chance for rebuttal, as if this is the absolute truth and you are totally in the wrong? Since when does an interview consist of a lecture and then, oops, something appears to have interfered with our connection. Yeah, something interfered. It's called B.S.

How does this sound? Muslims have the constitutional right to build a mosque near Ground Zero, but that doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. However, if your Saturday plans are burning the Koran, SCREW YOU, YOU DISCRIMINATING BIGOT! TAKE YOUR HATE SOMEWHERE ELSE!

How about, Screw you, you insensitive political stunt man! Take your anti-American sentiment somewhere else!

Another thing. Notice Obama "vs." terrorists and Bush vs. terrorists. Obama: "Don't be mean. Don't discriminate. They have a constitutional right to kill Americans... oh, wait. That's a different issue. I think my cue cards are out of order. Anyway! we need to be nice so they'll be nice, too."

Bush: "HUNT THEM DOWN."

Whatever else he may be, whatever else he has or hasn't done, Bush got it right on a couple things. Abortion, for one. And keeping America safe. Which is his job. His job isn't to keep Muslims safe. That's not in the Presidential Oath of Office. Bush seemed to grasp that. Obama, not so much. Although, we should cut him some slack since he's not familiar with the customs of this country.

Speaking of the country, I have U.S. History this year, and I am LOVING it. We're starting with the end of the Civil War/Reconstruction. It's awesome. But the theme kind of seems to be "Oh, the poor South. They lost the war and now their land is ravaged, their women are widowed, and their children are orphaned. And here come the big bad Radical Republicans, who want them to--gasp!--take an oath of loyalty to the Union! The horror! The humiliation! They want civil rights guaranteed! They want the South under military watch! They won't let former Confederate officers run for office! What did the South do to deserve this?????

I assume this was an act of racism by Republicans against whites. Or, hey, blacks. It's all the same. Whatever.

Screw the South! If they didn't want it to happen, why'd they start the war?

While we're on the subject of school, my science book is written like some liberal's diary. It tells me to open my mind and heart. It says that overpopulation is a serious problem that worsens almost every problems faced by humans today. The last part of the first chapter tells me to advance into the cosmos because "we live in an exciting time!"

It's like the self-help book for today's troubled liberal. Which I don't need because I'm not troubled or liberal. (It's pretty hard to be one without the other.)

While we're talking about troubledness, transexuals are actually at odds with the liberal worldview. If we're supposed to accept people "for who they are," well, why don't they have to accept THEMSELVES for who they are? How come they get to change?

I suppose it's wrong to judge their "lifestyle choices." Fine. I just hope you don't judge my "lifestyle choice" to start tee-peeing liberals' houses.

Why must they screw our country? What do they have against it?

Shrug. What does it matter? Smart people (I hope I don't have to specify the party) are going to DOMINATE the elections in a couple months. And then Obama won't be able to pass bills like he does, and even if they do go through (which they won't unless we elect RINOs [like in Michigan's gubernatorial race]), it'll take longer because Republicans, even, most RINOs, have this thing about READING bills before they pass them.

Anyway, American or liberal, we all have a job to do. For liberals, it's to balance out the awesomeness of using your brain. But until we have enough brains for everyone (and not by redistributing them), we'll have to do our best to keep our country safe. Which means no more 9/11. Or tolerance thereof. (That's me, the mean Republican who doesn't like people blowing up my country.) 9/11 must be remembered, not repeated.

You see, I don't remember 9/11 very well. I was, like, five. But even though I don't really remember it, I will never, ever forget.
