It seems that many Americans and many of our Democratic Party politicians have forgotten 9/11. Jim Parker was 14 years old when he made this video for his class. He is now a junior in college. But just in case you have forgotten what that terrible day was like, take a look;

Russ,
Please pass along my appreciation of this video to Jim Parker. It is so beautifully done, and reminds us of the horror of which our Islamist enemies are capable, and of the war that we must win. Our enemies are waiting to strike again.

Russ, When will the Great Democratic Party wake-up to what the liberal left Move On wing is doing to the party of FDR,Truman and Kennedy ?

I'm a progressive but I found what Move On did to be disgusting. Democrats have an advantage in our country with our history in domestic and economic policy. Reckless moves like this from Move On tarnish an entire party which does not need these extremists spoiling the stew.

What good does unseating Dingell do for progressives? He votes down the party line 95% of the time, has been a huge advocate for Gays & Lesbians, Senior Citizens and the automotive industries trouble with foreign copyright infringement. These people are radicals, more concerned with keeping good politicians "in line" with their beliefs than approaching things realistically. When Howard Dean starts admonishing you as a leftist extremist you know you've got problems!

And honestly, what happened with General Patreus was disgraceful. It was good that his comments came under scrutiny in the US House, as any major commentary on Iraq should be, but when third-hand organizations start attacking such honorable person personally without facts it gets ridiculous. Move On has lost all of it's credibility through these stupid ads of theirs.

Did anyone pay attention to how quickly the General got a military manual published on fighting insurgencies? Getting a strategic manual published in about a year is a record-setter and shows the dedication and effort he is putting into his work for our Armed Forces.

Likewise, Democrats are overplaying their momentum here. We're looking at withdrawals from Iraq immediately and more over time. While I wouldn't trust George Bush's management of this war, Democrats should play up their power of the purse and help in a more positive role rather than spending political power on a hasty withdrawal. Democrats know social programs and social rehabilitation like nobody else. It would make sense to start offering programs in the military during off-active time for learning Arabic (much needed) and for the military members suffering from PTSD and combat related illness. Getting the long-overdue adjustments on equipment shape and size so that serving women don't get such horrid injuries just from regular activity has nearly no additional cost to our future production of supplies, but is a necessary task to be done. Why not engage our automotive manufacturers into the making of the new HumVee's that are being discussed? All of these things fit the democrat agenda and would strengthen our image in foreign policy.

But just like how the Republicans cater to the crazy religious wing nuts who say they'll somehow get rid of Gays and Abortion even though many of those same politicians are closet-cases with divorces and abortions in their past, it also seems the Democrats are falling into a similar pit of peace mongers even though right now peace is an illusion.

Again, why does this issue, which should unite us all, get used on this website to divide us? This is shameful. If ever there is a time when we should all stand together, it is in remembering 9/11 and, trust me, NO ONE has forgotten, Democrat or Republican.

Mr Gibbs, Did you know that the democratic presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama
voted against making English the official language of America. And voted for providing Social Security to illegal immigrants. Good man. Vote straight Democratic Party next election.

Republican presidential candidate Giuliani Has said that he agrees with Petraeus’s assessment of the Iraq war, and called MoveOn.org’s ad attacking “an American general in a time of war� unprecedented.

“It’s time for Americans to really insist that American politicians move beyond character assassination,� Giuliani said. “And this is exactly what they tried to do with Gen. Petraeus. Well, it’s one thing when politicians do it to each other. It’s another thing when it’s done to an American general who has put his life at risk to protect us.�

You're exactly right, Mr. Gibb. Democrats lost nothing in 9/11.
