Artful Dodger: I'll be honoring the true terrorist busters today... and not the ones who opposed the security measures we took after 9/11. I don't care what anyone says about Bush. He did the one thing that needed to be done, and did it over the protests of nearly every Democrat representative and leader. Bush made sure our nation would be more secure.

Iamon lyme: Do you know which of the firemen hoisting the flag below your post are Republican or Democrat? People of both parties died on the horrific day ,both victims and responders. I suggest a good start in honouring the many who died might be by putting The politics of 9/11 aside for just one day.

Be my guest. No one is stopping you from taking a day off from reality, that's what holidays are for. I take my days off when I choose to.
By the way, this is the one day of the year the terrorists would just love to pull off a strike, but like I say, take the day off if that's your cup of tea. I live in the US, not Canada or the UK.

Iamon lyme: You missed my point, or chose to ignore ignore it.I was speaking of party bickering.One of the inspirational things I personally witnessed after(and during) 9/11 was how Americans came together.It was brief, but it was inspirational on a humanistic level.Discussing 9/11 today is understandable , to discuss it in terms of party politics and divisions , not so much.But as you said, whatever floats your boat

The Col: No, I didn't miss your point and yes, I chose to ignore it. If you think it's that important then by all means, take a day off.
I'm not a politician and as far as I know, neither are you. Do I need to repeat or expand on what I said to V about double standards? If you think you should show respect by not commenting on it today, then by all means go for it. But please be advised, sanctimonious guilt mongering isn't something I will fall down for... I'm not a Democrat.
Yer better off preaching to the choir... your choir.
