unixronin: Galen the technomage, from Babylon 5: Crusade (John Sheridan: uh ...  you'll know what)

...came the second "Day that shall live forever in infamy."  Upon this day in 2001, two things happened:

First, Muslim terrorists attacked mostly symbolic, mostly civilian targets using hijacked airliners as missiles, killing men, women and children, Christians, Jews, Buddhists and fellow Muslims indiscriminately, showing once and for all that they have no respect for the Five Pillars of their own professed faith.

And secondly, our government responded by switching into high gear the legislative theft of our freedom, showing once and for all that they have no respect for the Constitution they are sworn to uphold and defend.

Both were contemptible acts.  Neither should ever be forgotten nor forgiven, nor should we rest while either act remains unpunished.

Never again.

We punish those who felled the Twin Towers by hunting them down, bringing them to justice, leaving no place in which they can hide.  And we should punish those who stole our freedom afterwards by voting every last one of the lying, hypocritical bastards out of office, a little under two months from today.

You can do it.  But it'll take a whole lot of people working together.  No more asses; no more elephants -- as if you can tell the difference without a scorecard anyway.  Let's see some CHANGE around here this November.
