Today, September 11, 2008, will mark seven years since a determined group of brainwashed psychotic religious fanatics murdered thousands of wonderful, decent, unique Americans and others working and/or living/visiting The United States of America! Those murdered included someone's beloved and utterly painfully forever-to-be-missed and remembered mother, father, son, daughter, uncle, aunt, grandfather, grandmother,aunt,uncle, cousin, nephew, niece, friend, close acquaintance, boss, co-worker... People who loved and were loved, who experienced all those things that life is and can be about, who laughed, cried, sang songs, danced, who wrote poems, painted pictures of sailboats, horses and old wood houses, who treasured that wonderful feeling of taking a warm shower after a hard day at work, especially on a muggy summer day...who gave whatever they could truly afford to help a neighbor in need or a stranger in a foreign land thousands of miles away, who shared harmless jokes with others in their office, who broke pencils and complained about the cost of quality clothing, who climbed hills while on vacation in Ireland or Israel or Iran, who sent as much as they could home to parents and relatives in Jordan or Jamaica, who made calls to loved ones in Nepal or Hungary...whose minds were filled with both sweet and painful memories, people like you me, who will be missed for eternity! Each of whom was an infinitely precious person, a Universe of emotions, thoughts, feelings, hopes, fears, desires and dreams! All ruthlessly and senselessly massacred by very sick people who failed to see just how wrong their world-view was and who did far more harm to those causes they supposedly believed were worthwhile or just!
We, patriotic Americans, true Republicans, true Democrats, true Libertarians, true Independents, true I-think-life-is-way-too-short-to-waste-fussing-and-fighting-all-the-time Americans...we sanctify this day in our promise to never again allow such a horror, such an insanity, such a monstrosity to happend again! We remember and honour our lost ones, by dedicating this day to their memory and by doing all that we can to fight those who fail to realize that we are all one human family and that no one has the right to commit acts of terror which indiscriminately kill people, which are cowardly and always backfire! We will not take it easy until the world is rid of the scourge of ethno-centrism, racism, anti-Semitism (both anti-Jewish and anti-Arab anti-Semitism!), extreme nationalism, violent fanatic religious extremism, and all other sick, ignorant anti-social and anti-environmental thinking, behavior, threats, and acts of unjustified brutality and inhumanity!
Nor will we allow pseudo-patriotic pseudo-Republicans and other extremists within America to exploit 9-11-2001 for sick, anti-Constitutional agendas! For those of us truly patriotic Americans know exactly what our relatively wise founding fathers and mothers had in mind when they declared their independence from the Monarchy, when they fought for our freedoms, signed Our Great Democratic Republican Constitution, in which they expressed the most logical, fundamental principles and laws requiring Absolute Clear Separation of Religion from Statecraft, Politics and Public Government, requiring insurances against abuse of authority and powers of office, requiring all other manner of laws meant to abide by those wonderful first words that make up Our Constitution and Our Declaration of Independence:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America!"
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
It is for those words, their true meaning and all those laws and priviledges they represent, that we fight to defend Our Country and Our Stars & Stripes Flag, which represents both The Declaration of Independence and The Constitution of The United States of America! It is by defending The United States of America, not as misrepresented by some Administrations, certain Politicians, and a specific Political Party that has lost its bearings and has been hijacked by insufferable and indecent pirates, opportunistic thieves, thugs and bullies of the worst kind, but it by restoring and defending Our True United States of America, a Land of The Free, Home of The Brave and a country based on Unity-in-Diversity, Tolerance of Tolerant Others, Respect for The True Rights of All Mankind that we truly respect, remember and honour those of our fellow Americans and guests who were murdered on 9-11-2001! And that we honour all those wonderful men and women, our firefighters, police, emergency rescuers, nurses, doctors and others whose lives were forever changed or stolen on that most horrifying and painful day!
We will Never Forget You and We Will Do All We Can To Never Again Allow Our Enemies to harm innocent people, Americans and others!
We will defeat every violent fanatic religious extremist, at home and abroad! And we will not sacrifice a single of our Freedoms, Liberties and Rights, no matter how dangerous the world may be! For as one of Our Greatest Americans so aptly put it:
"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, First Postmaster General, Writer, Intellectual, Inventor, Genius, Freemason, Progressive Liberal pro-Social Democrat, Lover of Life, Women and The Finer Things!
