Today we sad­ly remem­ber a time before ter­ror­ism as I sit here is a cheap hotel room in the very same city I was in on that day ten years ago, I look around and see places that used to do busi­ness in this city and now are out of busi­ness, the grass on many of the cities pub­lic areas are not cut and are obvi­ous­ly not well main­tained.

Trash is present on many of this cities streets and you can see that there are seri­ous prob­lems.

Pri­or to this event you could go on ebay and buy lots of stuff at a good price often half the cost of retail.

Now you can bare­ly find a bar­gain at all and the cost to ship an item is ten times what it used to be.

Things have changed and they have not changed for the bet­ter, call your self a repub­li­can or a demo­c­rat either way noth­ing has changed this coun­try has changed.

You can blame Bush or Oba­ma it does not mat­ter the truth is that they both failed us and let us not for­get that Clin­ton was in charge pri­or to the cause of 911.

So it real­ly does not mat­ter who you blame, because we should be grown ups about this at least that is the way I was raised.

Here we are ten years lat­er and I want you to ask your­self a ques­tion, are you bet­ter off now than you were in the year 2000?

They intended to strike America down on that day, they failed.

How­ev­er they did cause a great deal of dam­age, to our way of life and our econ­o­my, that they did suc­ceed to do par­tial­ly because of the fail­ure of our lead­ers that includes every­one, all the mem­bers of con­gress that have sold out Amer­i­ca for mon­ey and cor­rup­tion, (alleged­ly) are just as guilty as any­one for the mess we find our­selves in today.

I look around in this city of 300, 000 Amer­i­cans and I see suf­fer­ing, I see hunger, I see des­per­a­tion.

What I do not see is relief, I see peo­ple who are scared, I see peo­ple who are like every­one else, so in that mea­sure they did suc­ceed to bring­ing us to their lev­el.

Even with every­thing we have done to try and repair the dam­age, it has not been enough, we have a nation that thinks it can try the failed poli­cies of yes­ter­day and suc­ceed only because they think they are smarter than those that came before them.

It is a sad con­so­la­tion to real­ize that we could change if we only vote out of office any per­son that has been up there more than 10 years.

Get them out of there they are not help­ing they are hurt­ing

When you see some­one that says they will help the poor in this nation and you see what I see today, sin­gle par­ents stay­ing in the cheap­est motel in town to save mon­ey, and risk­ing their lives to do so.

That my friends, is a sad thing and it should not be.

Today Fox news is reply­ing footage of the 911 attacks, the same as they did for the last nine years.

I under­stand that and I am glad that they are remind­ing us of what we lost on that day ten years ago.

We lost so much of what we are, Amer­i­cans, but we are not defeat­ed.

Per­haps the dev­ils that planned and cre­at­ed 911 were suc­cess­ful in this one bat­tle but they have not won the war.

The idea that “Cant we all just get along” is just not going to work, apol­o­giz­ing for what we are is also not going to help.

We are what we are, and that has not changed since that day of the Amer­i­can rev­o­lu­tion so many years ago when a few men met in a small room in secret.

They met and decid­ed that they did not want to be gov­erned, by the small mind­ed they decid­ed that all men are cre­at­ed equal, they made a doc­u­ment that has stood for hun­dreds of years, and yes, it is still sound even this very day, it applies because it is the result of the tri­umph of the human spir­it.

We Are America and we are still Free.

You can nev­er take that away, because it was paid at the high­est cost, it was paid for in blood.

The blood of our fathers and the blood of our grand­fa­thers, the blood of our neigh­bors and the blood of our loved ones.

The blood of Amer­i­cans who have fought and sac­ri­ficed, every­thing since the begin­ning of our nation and all the wars that we have fought to remain free, yes we may have lib­er­als that want to sell us out to oth­er nations but they can­not sell what they do not own and that is our blood, we are Amer­i­ca and we are free and you can­not take that away.
