DISCUSSION OF THE 9-11 TERRORIST ATTACKS:
Still Just a Partisan Political Game to Democrats
By Christopher G. Adamo
LIBERAL DEMOCRATS, PARTISAN POLITICS, & THE TERROR WAR: REGARDING TRADITIONAL AMERICA AS A
GREATER ENEMY TO DEMOCRATIC PARTY POLITICAL FORTUNES THAN THE VIOLENT ENCROACHMENT OF ISLAMISM &
ITS INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST NETWORK -- THE DEMOCRATS' WILLINGNESS TO SUPPRESS & DISTORT THE THE EVENTS
OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001, & BLAME THEM ON THE BUSH PRESIDENCY -- THE DEMOCRATS' CONTINUED COMMITMENT TO
THEIR POLITICAL STRATEGY OF LULLING THE AMERICAN NATION INTO A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY, LABELING
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AS THE PROBLEM, & DEMOCRATIC PARTY POLITICAL GAMING AS THE PATH TO SAFETY &
SECURITY
FULL STORY:
For starters, a brief junior high Civics lesson is in order. Those who
crafted the First Amendment never intended it as license for obscenity or to
enable nude dancers to smear various substances on themselves at taxpayers’
expense. Nor was their purpose to secure the “rights” of child pornographers
to ply their trade, as former Attorney General Janet Reno asserted.
The sole reason for its inclusion in the Bill of Rights was to ensure the
ability of the citizenry to engage in political discussion, regardless of
any discomfort felt by public officials who might be the targets of
criticism from the people.
As such, the recently aired ABC miniseries The Path to 9-11 exemplifies
the very manner of public discourse that points fingers and raises questions
necessary to call those in government to accountability in order to correct
past mistakes. And, as such, threats of retribution against ABC, made by such
powerful Democratic Party Liberals as U.S. Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (Democrat - Nevada) and U.S. Senator
Richard Durbin (Democrat - Illinois) represent the most despicable and reprehensible
manner of attempted censorship to occur in this country in recent years.
At the core of the debate is the ongoing and very real terror war, which
will be waged against America whether or not the country possesses the
collective courage to recognize it, or the spine to effectively respond to
it. The attacks have come and will continue to come. The only matter in
question is whether or not the nation has the will to face them and prevail
against them.
Fearing damage to his fragile but all consuming “legacy,” former President
Bill Clinton demanded that the series be withdrawn from broadcast, quibbling
and whimpering that, in some detail or another, it was not absolutely
accurate.
Despite these transparent attempts at obfuscation, for Clinton, the very
timetable encompassed in the series represented an indictment of him.
Regardless of his denials of any preoccupation with skirt chasing and other
self-serving endeavors, it is inarguable that the looming danger of a
terrorist attack festered and grew during his watch.
Were every reference to the Clinton administration expunged from the
program, enough people would still remember exactly when the catastrophe
occurred, only seven months after George W. Bush was inaugurated as
President, and enough people would still remember who had
been asleep at the watch during the decade preceding the attacks. Thus, the
only means of keeping a sufficient number of the electorate focused on
current Liberal Leftist propaganda is to eradicate any stark image of what really
happened on that dreadful day.
Admittedly, President Bush was caught by surprise, only seven and a half
months after his inauguration, and hamstrung by partisan antics such as the
delayed confirmation of pivotal administration members, including his
Attorney General, John Ashcroft.
A thorough examination of the events leading to the September 11, 2001,
Islamist terrorist attacks on the U.S.A. could not help
but point an accusing finger at the Clinton White House. It was President Bill Clinton who
remained asleep at the watch while he obsessively pursued his own sordid sexual
interests.
Yet the impact of the ABC program reaches further still. More than any
particular statement on the unscrupulous and treasonous duplicity of the Clinton
administration in leaving America open to the terrorist attacks, the very images
themselves revive the outrage of the moment, and rekindle resolve among real
Americans to appropriately respond. Concurrently, they also highlight the
incessant efforts of the political Left to destroy American determination and morale
ever since.
Regardless of the incriminating details that ABC may or may not have removed,
in deference to the Liberal Democrats and their political machine, it is the images of
9-11 itself, and the horrific reality of that day, which the American Left
does not want refreshed in the minds of the American people.
In part, because the present presidential administration has taken the threat so seriously
and has dealt so effectively with it, some short-sighted Americans have once
again assumed they have the luxury to go on with life, as if the attacks had
never happened. The Left has abominably played this as evidence that no real
danger awaits the country.
Yet, the Democrats' very reaction to the miniseries proves that their own self-serving
agenda represents a worst-case scenario. By their willingness to suppress
and distort the events of that awful day, they display a continued
commitment to their political strategy of lulling the nation into a false
sense of security that labels George Bush as the problem and pursuit of Democratic Party
political gaming as the path to safety and security.
Democrats are still playing a ghoulish game of political Ping-Pong, whereby
they alternately accuse Bush of either overreacting, or not having done
enough to connect the dots prior to 9-11, or ever since, to prevent the next
attack, if one ensues.
Any serious consideration of the stance the Democrats have adopted during the past
five years, on every facet of the terror war, can only lead to the
conclusion that they regard traditional America as a greater enemy to their
political fortunes than the violent encroachment of militant Islam.
Such shameless and inconsistent political posturing presupposes complete and mindless
stupidity among the Democrats' political base, i.e., among regular Democratic voters.
The Democratic Party politicians' success or failure in the November, 2006,
elections will ultimately determine whether or not this contempt for their
“useful idiots” of the Liberal Democratic voting public is indeed warranted.
